Option 1

 * Article title
 * LGBT themes in classical mythology


 * Article Evaluation
 * I was intrigued by the presence of LGBT themes in mythology after the previous assignment, but this article specifies mythology from ancient Greece and Rome. The article is in both WikiProjects for Mythology and LGBT Studies, rated at Start-Class for both, and of High-Importance for the Mythology WikiProject. It has a plethora of mythology examples, but lacks some of the philosophies surrounding the topic. The Talk page also discusses adding more citations and references that are needed, especially in modern queer studies of ancient sources.

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Effeminacy


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article is in three WikiProjects, rated B-Class for all: Gender Studies, LGBT Studies, and Sexology & Sexuality. The article also warns that it may have some unreliable information that needs editing, as well as some "weasel" words that need omitting and rewriting of sections.
