Article Selection
Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Article title: Civic technology.
 * OR Civic technology in Asia


 * Article Evaluation
 * The Civic Technology in Asia article does not currently exist. It's briefly discussed in the civic technology article (I used this article for the "Evaluate Wikipedia" assignment, and listed it above). In the "Civic tech in Asia" subsection of the Civic technology article, only Taiwan was listed (and later Japan was added), but those two nations should not dictate the entire relationship between civic tech and Asia. I can either create a new article about civic tech in Asia, or add more to the civic tech in Asia subsection.

Option 2

 * Article title: Comparison of civic technology platforms
 * Article Evaluation
 * Although this article may be helpful to those who are well-versed in the language and world of comparing civic tech platforms, this website is a little too difficult to comprehend to the common eye. Also simplicity in articles (in terms of length) can be an effective tactic, I believe a little bit more elaboration would be helpful. Additionally, I think specific examples of how these companies operate would be helpful.

Option 3

 * Article title: E-democracy
 * Article Evaluation
 * Very well researched, but biased in terms of being from a primarily US perspective. There are even warning banners in the expanding and improving democracy sections that explain so.
