Option 1

Article title: Neuroqueer theory
Article Evaluation: This article needs significant editing, reorganization, and the possible addition of sections. It is not thorough and leaves out a lot of important information on the intersection between neurodiversity and queerness. Citations seem reliable.
Sources: https://neuroclastic.com/an-introduction-to-neuroqueer-theory/:https://thepolyphony.org/2023/07/18/neuroqueer-knowledges/:https://neuroqueer.com/

Option 2

Article title: Queer anarchism
Article Evaluation: This article is not strong. It leaves out important information and includes information that is either not relevant or not properly cited. It does have citations but does not make great use of them; several books on queer anarchism are not mentioned. It could use substantive editing.

Option 3

Article title: LGBTQ culture in Russia
Article Evaluation: This article is short and definitely needs to include more substantive data/research. The information that is there is reliable and properly cited.
Sources: https://www.globalequality.org/component/content/article/1-in-the-news/186-the-facts-on-lgbt-rights-in-russia:https://blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2023/02/21/a-history-of-lgbtq-rights-in-modern-russia-from-progress-to-despair/:https://community.middlebury.edu/~moss/RGC2.html:https://www.rferl.org/a/lbgt-gay-rights-in-russia-since-fall-of-soviet-union/27881525.html

Option 4

Article title: Media portrayal of LGBT people
Article Evaluation: This article is long, but it says that it has "multiple issues." It requires reorganization and much editing. It seems that a lot of information included is not relevant; there is a section on "bury your gays" longer than the section on LGBT+ themes in music. Additionally, the article is strongly centered on the United States. Citations are mostly reliable but could use some help.

Option 5

Article title: Queer ecology
Article Evaluation: This article contains relevant information, but it is mostly old (from the late 20th-century) and centered on Western beliefs/practices. It could be updated to include more relevant information and information overall. Citations are reliable, but could be updated.
