Open ended questions I think the group did a great job of including other cultures in the article. Maybe a section that could be expanded upon in the future and examined further by other Wikipedia writer’s. The article could use some sort of illustration. Also the article could be expanded in implementation. Tkc21 (talk) 15:09, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

The article currently possesses very little information on the subject, and is a Stub. There is little to no inclusion of the background of participatory management, nor inclusion of the history of participatory management. The differing methods of participatory management are also absent from the article webpage. Currently, no subtopics exist on the webpage; subsections should be added containing the history of participatory management, effects of participatory management, types of participatory management, and participatory management as it is employed in different cultures. The article presently references the human relations movement of the 1920s; however, little to no information is included regarding said movement. This reference, along with the other historical references mentioned in the article should be expanded upon in the historical subsection to be added to the page. Presently, all information on the page is relevant to the topic; however, the current information requires further support through citations. Despite the aforementioned inconsistencies within the webpage, the current entry appropriately links to other Wikipedia websites; links could be added to new additions to the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Verokokitas (talk • contribs) 01:35, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

I felt the introduction gave the reader a well rounded consensus of the topic at hand. The key points of the article are: discussion of the different theories of participatory management, the implementation of it, and examples of studies done with Participatory Management. Everything seemed to be well represented by references and I found the editors of the article added a sufficient amount of information. The article did use a variety of perspectives, by mentioning the different aspects in different cultures, as well as referring to arguments against Participatory Management. I found the sources to be appropriately used and represented accurately. The language was precise and showed relevance to the article. There seemed to be a sufficient amount of sources giving the article significant more credibility. The article does an excellent job of expressing all the different viewpoints from a neutral standpoint, and avoids stating opinions as facts, and the balance between sections was appropriate. I feel the article was very well written and the editors did an excellent job of making sure there were minimal grammar mistakes, making the article easy to read. The language seemed to be understandable to a broad audience of Wikipedia readers. The article has a very clear structure that is very easy to follow and the Wikipedia format from section to section followed the right format, making the article very clear cut. The article does not contain any pictures. I feel like the group did an excellent job on expanding the article from a mere stub article, which is what I like most. Through their effort, a reader can actually look up this topic and garner a significant understanding of Participatory Management. The two things I feel like could be touched up are: 1. Perhaps under the examples of participatory management, adding a few more examples or another study or two, to give the reader a more diverse idea of attempted usage of implementing Participatory Management. 2. On the criticism section maybe add a little more input to the last example of "Participatory management has been criticized because it is difficult to combine this practice with a more financially oriented approach to restructuring that may require downsizing." and explain why in a little more detail, why its difficult in this manner. It would give the reader a better understanding and add more "beef" to the article.
