Three choices for the WikiScholar Project for Reza's class -- spring 2020.

Option 1

 * Amahl Khouri
 * There is no Wikipage for Amahl Khouri currently. However, one needs to be created. Khouri's documentary plays center trans stories within Arab theatre. Their work has been published in several anthologies including Global Queer Plays and International Perspectives on Where Performance Leads Queer. As a living artist, we have podcasts, interviews, and new works from Khouri.

Option 2*

 * Noor Theatre Company
 * There is currently no Wikipage for the Noor Theatre Company. However, this group is important their work with supporting and producing the work of theatre artists of Middle Eastern decent. Founded in 2010, the group has been operational for a decade and influential in the NYC theatre sphere (as evidenced by their OBIE grant in 2016). The company has several annual series that promote new works including the Highlight Reading Series, 48 Hour Forum, and world premiere productions of original works. The Company has also paired with universities and the Pop Culture Collaborative. They are also currently building a Middle Eastern Artists Database!

Option 3

 * Golden Thread Productions
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article has not yet be rated by WikiEditors. The lead is clear but longwinded. However, the article has four references and four external links. Three of the references are still live but a 2008 review from the San Francisco Bay Guardian is not. Most sources are regarding the grants they were awarded but there are claims about the mission statement and goals of the group that are not cited. More recent work (productions beyond 2009) also needs to be highlighted. Mentions of wining grants in 2013 and 2016 but no comment on what for/the outcome. Good use of links to to other Wikipages for the most part. There is no Talk page started.
