Article Evaluation on Tel Aviv Pride
-more information on the early years which were politically motivated (maybe a link or subsection)
-add in statistics about Tel Aviv as a city, like what the demographics are like
-Is the last paragraph about the protest against Israeli occupation really necessary? It seems like this could be a example of bias coming through, because the focus of it isn't Tel Aviv pride, but rather a political point. I think it is worth a discussion of taking it out of the page, because it is not directly related to the focus point.
-Entire page definitely focuses on the parade--maybe it should be renamed to Tel Aviv Pride Parade! Even under the "Tel Aviv culture" section, the focus of it is still pride parade. Add information about Tel Aviv as a very gay-friendly city
-They have an external link to an article from this year's pride event, which had 250,000 participants. I am glad they have it on the external link, but think the information in the page should also be updated
-The links attached worked, and citations seem to be from reputable sources, like The Jerusalem Post and The Haaretz. These sources are bias/pro-Israel by nature of them being Israeli, but again I think that Tel Aviv pride is a topic separate from the conflict, so I would not worry about using these as sources.
-The talk page brings you to links to the WikiProject Israel and the WikiProject LGBT studies, which are interesting initiatives. The article is rated as only a start-class, and has not received a rating on its importance
-Wikipedia is looking at Israel and Israeli culture as just one country in a bigger world. I like how this page is connected to the WikiProject LGBT along with so many other countries and groups. In class and in dialogue, we often make Israel seem like a country unlike any other, which is true in some ways, but it is a country with people like us! It is important to remember that we are all interconnected and have topics we can come together over.
