Assignment 3

[edit]

Here is the article whose lead I am going to edit/create: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federation_of_Gay_Games


Here is my analysis of the article:


The article is very short and only cites the Federation of Gay Games website. I feel like with more research, the article can be developed a lot more. Also, the article lacks any other details about the Federation of Gay Games except what its purpose is. The "Concept and official purpose" section could serve as the lead to this article with some editing and summarizing.


Here is my rough draft of the lead I am going to add:


The Federation of Gay Games (FGG) is the sanctioning body of the Gay Games which was founded in 1982 by Tom Waddell, after he dealt first-hand with the prejudice towards gay athletes and their inability to openly participate in sporting events. The Federation of Gay Games hosts the world's biggest cultural and sporting event for the LGBT community every four years. The Federation of Gay Games is founded on the principles of "participation, inclusion, and personal best" and continues to support the LGBT community not only through the Gay Games but through scholarships for underprivileged members. The Federation of Gay Games continues to expand throughout the world and accepts members of any sexual orientation and nationality to participate in the games or contribute. The FGG is proudly hosting the next Gay Games in 2018 in Paris, France.
