Article Improvements
Hi, There are a number of improvements that can be made to the Open Government Partnership article. I'd like to offer my assistance to the Wikipedia community to help expand and improve the article by providing factual content and references. I've included a summary of potential changes below and would like to discuss these with other editors and have them implemented on my behalf.

Referencing The majority of the article is not referenced, but a number of existing online sources (news articles, online books) corroborate the content Linking Additional internal links can be made to other Wikipedia articles

Information Box An information box can be added to the article to highlight key information about the Open Government Partnership

I'd like to declare that the Open Government Partnership is my client and my conflict of interest (COI) has been posted on the relevant COI page, however if you'd like to discuss this further then please contact me on my talk page.

Thanks, Vjemmett (talk) 16:39, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

Hungary left the Partnership, after some criticism from the members of the leadership of this Organization. (Source language: Hungarian)--Porbóllett (talk) 20:36, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

Peer Review
Very impressive! All relevant aspects of the OGP are discussed. WikiLinks are appropriately used throughout and contribute to the content. Ample detail is offered in a comprehensive manner.

Structure

I would recommend creating a new section dedicated specifically to the OGP's principles that must be upheld by members. Furthermore, I suggest that the "Participating countries" section is moved below "Criticism". The participating countries are identified in the right column of the page and act more as additional readings. The "Criticism" section, however, offers more valuable information to the article.

Syntax

Shorter and simpler sentences could be used to increase compliance with Wikipedia's concise, straightforward writing style. Although it is incredibly written, the language somewhat resembles that of an essay. For readers who do not have an academic background or lack the required literacy skills, the article may prove as challenging.

Content

Citations need to be added throughout the article to mitigate plagiarism and copyright infringement. For example, the phrase "In October 2014, the Government of Mexico and Suneeta Kaimal, became OGP co-chairs" requires proper referencing. Also, Wikipedia does not permit the use of logos. I would assume that the GDP photo would be considered a logo, and therefore should be removed.

Great work!

Article Evaluation
''' Is the article neutral? Are there any claims, or frames, that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? '''

Overall the article thoroughly describes the mission and benefits of the OGP however I did not notice any mention of criticism or areas of improvement for the OGP. Additionally, I noticed out of the sources the OGP website was continually used and also singular sources such as The Guardian were used multiple times as well. As a result, I would say this article is biased in favor of the OGP. Gobears18 (talk) 03:56, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
