Article Evaluation
Talk:Civic technology

The article begins with a general introduction on civic technology, which is of great use. However, it quickly jumps into defining the presence of civic technology internationally in other individual countries. The immediate transition between a short introduction to its international presence distracts me from learning the actual ins and outs of civic technology. The article remains fairly neutral throughout, without any claims that appear to be made from a biased perspective. The article relays facts, not opinions, which remains useful to gather unbiased information on civic technology and its applications. The international viewpoints in which the article discusses civic technology remains overused and it would remain more beneficial to focus on its applications in a more relatable setting. The links are both functional and relevant to the topic that is being discussed in each section, as well as the main point being made. Each statistic and fact present in the article is cited to a reliable source, one that remains unbiased and credible. For example, data regarding the government-led initiatives in Ukraine is from the official data by Ukraine. The information and cited sources also remain, at least for the most part, quite recent, most of them being in the past five years. One main point being made in the article's Talk page is discussing the need for more recent and applicable examples of civic technology. The article was rated start-class, low importance, and is part of WikiProject Technology. Wikipedia discusses this topic mainly from an international lens which provides useful details but could rather benefit from going into more depth regarding civic technology itself. Question: Do for-profit organizations constitute civic technology?
