Capitalization and title
Hi! You are all doing great things with this article, thank you for adding it. I just wanted to add here about the naming conventions on WP, since I noticed this article title is in all caps. Naming conventions (capitalization) Jooojay (talk) 05:25, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Also technically, I believe the term for this is a table (or maybe even a list), rather than chart? Jooojay (talk) 05:26, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

Citations and preface
The preface reads

"Civic technology is technology that enables engagement and participation, or enhances the relationship between the people and government, by enhancing citizen communications and public decision, improving government delivery of services and infrastructure. This comparison of civic technology platforms compares platforms that are designed to improve citizen participation in governance, distinguished from technology that directly deals with government infrastructure."

I opine that this is overly broad and unsubstantiated. If Civic Technology Platforms, by definition, aim to enable engagement between a citizen and their government I believe a citation is necessary for the first and second sentence.

 * Have you found any citations? Generally speaking WP doesn't require citations for prefaces, but I support adding some if you think it's needed. Jooojay (talk) 23:54, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
