Article title: Queer Theory
Article Evaluation: The article is extremely underdeveloped. It is only one sentence long with no cited sources. This underdeveloped article is classified as a high importance stub article, so it definitely needs to be developed further.
Sources: Queer Theory (Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick); Feminist Theory and Queer Theory: Implications for HRD Research and Practice (Julie Gedro and Robert C. Mizzi)

Article title: Alliance for Women in Media
Article Evaluation: The article is part of the WikiProject Feminism, and it is rated a start class article. The talk page does not have much discussion. The article is written well and includes various verifiable references, but the information can be expanded and further developed. The addition of more sources would increase the credibility of the article as a whole, and would allow for the overall expansion of the article.
Sources: Alliance for Women in Media Foundation Releases Interview with American Medical Association President, Dr. Susan Bailey

Article title: Ruth Batson
Article Evaluation: The article is considered a start class article, and it is a suggested article to work on by user:LibrarianBTeam 's colleague user:AmandaRR123/teaching. The content of the article is well developed, but it could definitely be improved with the addition of more verifiable references. The article addresses an underrepresented person and her activism in Boston's history. The article is well organized, but additional information may cause the article to be reorganized.
Sources: Ruth Batson establishes educational foundation (Jane A. Manning); Introduction: Rethinking the Boston “Busing Crisis” (Matthew Delmont and Jeanne Theoharis); Ruth Batson chronicles struggle for education parity in Boston (Kay Bourne)

Article title: Measures of gender equality
Article Evaluation: The article is considered to be a start class article of high importance for the WikiProject Gender Studies. The article is well organized and the content is strongly related to the topic of the article. The current citations are reliable, but the article would benefit from more secondary citations and a development of some of the information. The article is written from a neutral perspective, but again, would benefit from an expansion including more information and references.
