Article: Civic Technology

Draft: This article is very clear, stays relevant to the topic of civic technology, and was not distracting in any way. The lead section gets straight to the point and the rest of the article contains several headings and subheadings that give the article clear structure. The article also contains many relevant examples to the topic of civic technology, especially examples about civic technology's presence in different parts of the world. The article simply present facts without including opinions, leading me to believe it is neutral and unbiased. Furthermore, the article contains several citations with links that work. The reference section is well-developed and includes reliable sources like peer-reviewed journals. Most sources are up to date as well. For the most part, the sections of the article are balanced well. However, there is less information in the section titled "Civic Technology in South America" compared to other sections. The only country listed in this section is Argentina.

 * The lead section is not very clear and uses confusing language. Furthermore, the article has a caution symbol above it saying that it reads like an advertisement and I agree. The article does not have a neutral tone and includes promotional content. Fortunately, however, the article has a good amount of credible sources and there seems to be very few grammatical errors. I believe I can improve this article by making it more clear and removing any promotional content. I can also add more content to the article from the sources below:
