Talk:Civic technology companies

This list fails WP:LSC as it lists NN companies and relies on the websites of the companies listed, which also runs afoul of WP:SOURCELIST. We already have an article on Civic technology. This list is being used as an advertisement in defiance of WP:NOT.

Many have WP pages; needs further discussion (but it is possible that most of the WP pages are promotional and not notable & should be deleted

Title of this article[edit]

Per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization), I believe the title of this article needs changing to not show capitalization throughout. Also should this title include the term "list"? Jooojay (talk) 21:17, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction paragraph[edit]

In the sentence "Civic technology encompasses any type of technology that enables greater participation in government affairs, or 'assists government in delivering citizen services and strengthening ties with the public'", there should not be a comma before the word "or" because it is not followed by an independent clause. The sentence should also be modified to read "assists the government" instead of "assists government". Randomize64 (talk) 14:43, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Real Civic Companies, Their Stories[edit]

Civic Technology Article Evaluation[edit]

The first paragraph uses the word Civic technology and Government technology to highlight the difference between the two, it seems that this is unnecessary to be put in the first introductory paragraph itself. Suggestion: maybe you could add another section on government technology vs civic technology.

In the second section titled "Categories of these companies", the categories are in sentences whereas they could be in bulet points. Also, the title could be reframed as "categories" instead to reduce repetition.

I like the visual graphic nearing the end of the article, it clearly demonstrates the point you are trying to get across. Overall, I feel the tone is neutral and I feel like the citations are accurate with little to no hint of bias. Civictech (talk) 05:31, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
