COMMENT
I have to say that as I look at the article itself, there are so many problems with it that knowing where to start would be difficult. I know that you have some interesting sources, it is also important to think in terms of the quality of the article overall. Your posting is at first a little confusing because the section that you have pasted under "lead" is not from the lead of the article, but from the History and development: Early existence section and it does not appear that you have offered any edits at all, so it is not clear why you have it there.

As for your proposed edit, it is not clear where in the article body you intend it might go. You should clarify this for your reviewers. As for the material itself, some of it repeats ideas that are already in the article. Perhaps most importantly, it seems that this material would belong more appropriately under the page about Drag and not under Drag show because your material is not about the shows themselves. Finally, it is important to contextualize the materials you are suggesting in relationship to other perspectives. For example, the argument by Alvarez and Perez that you present might not be so broadly shared. It would be important at least to know the basis upon which they seem to be making such a sweeping claim.

For your revision, I suggest you consider either how to frame this material more fully to focus on drag shows, or consider placing some of it under Drag. Be sure to edit out anything that is already covered in the article. Also, be sure to use Wikipedia's formatting for citations.

Comment I like the fact that you were able to talk about how drag has gone back as far as the 1500's. I remember during the shakespeer era his plays would feature men playing the female parts, so in a way they were performing in drag. I don't think people knew to call it that at the time.
