Comparatively thorough sections: The article is neutral in tone, and the lead section is straightforward to follow. The sections on worldwide civic technologies are well-organized and quick to access.

Sections that require additions or modifications: For content, although the definition of civic technology is straightforward, there are not many commonly-used examples that are easily recognizable. Sections such as "Civic technology in Asia" and "Civic technology in South America" require more detailed and representative examples. For citation, reference #37 is not a good and substantial resource. On the Talk page, there are substantial yet intermittent discussions on the article's use of primary sources. As of August 30, 2021, the tag for "primary sources" stays labeled on top of the page, which should be fixed or updated. For balance, the article should list the potential risks that civic technology may pose to society or damage the relationship between people and government. The article should also include the interplay between civic technology, government, the people, and how they may reflect one another. Yzhang7 (talk) 06:56, 31 August 2021 (UTC)
