Option 1

Article title: Raymond Broshears
Article Evaluation: Needs much more content.; No mention of role in GAA or Compton Cafeteria riots; No personal history or backgrounds; No discussion of interactions with GLF or Vanguard

Possible Contributions

Best way to contribute to this article is through adding a more detailed section about Broshears' interactions with the various LGBT organizations in San Francisco during his active years. This is the topic most heavily covered by the sources. Broshears is mostly brought up in the context of other groups which provides some material to create this section in the article.

Option 2

Article title: Bundling (Tradition)
Article Evaluation: Quite religious in perspective; Sections have minimal content; Courtship practice section has no sources and only one claim.; The 'In United States" section only has a brief description of a religious perspective followed by a description of when bundling fell out of practice.; More literature sources/quotations can be added or this section can be eliminated and the contents placed I their relevant sections.

Possible Contributions

There is a lack of discussion on bundling as a courtship practice in colonial America. A section detailing the significance of the bundling practice for America in the 17th, 18th, and 19th century would be the best way to contribute to this article with material relevant to our coursework.
