Evaluation[edit]

Hello! After looking at this stub of a page, I feel like there is some more information that can potentially be added. I was looking at the references, and while the article itself is pretty generic (and short), one of the sources comes from a magazine about failure, implying a biased viewpoint (and that too unreliable, as it is some online magazine instead of an academic journal, etc.) Anyone else have an opinion?

The "Failure" magazine isn't really biased - but the introduction mischaracterizes Deliberation Day. The proposal is to bring together all registered voters, not a representative sample, for discussion. See the Center For American Progress description, or, of course, the original book, though that's harder to link to. Also, there's no requirement that participants vote - you can attend and then choose not to vote.

I'm a new editor. Is it appropriate to remove the citation to the Failure article given this inaccuracy, even though there is some other useful information in the interview?
