Article Evaluation

I read the article "E-participation". This article is about people interacting with their government . this is closely related to e-government where a government provides information to their constituents through updates via mass media. This is relevant to my article because I am researching the effects of automated Bots on legislation and election. The article a question appears to be neutral however they solely focus on European affairs. The article also has a few citations however it is unclear as to what citations they are using in the article. For example they have a reference section with 5 citations and then they have a notes section 7 citations. Despite this the majority of their citation seem to come from reliable sources either from edu and eu websites or from studies conducted by researchers. The studies in question range from those conducted in 2003 to 2015. The talk page seems to be primarily among one person listing edits that they have made. This article is within two Wikipedia projects one being WikiProject internet and the other WikiProject politics this article is rated C for both projects.

[FS] The Neighborhood Life Cycle details the introduction and decline of neighborhoods in current or soon-to-be densely populated areas. This model was created by urban economists Edgar M. Hoover and Raymond Vernon. Typically the Neighborhood Life Cycle involves an affluent  establishing population that creates a neighborhood that attracts minority groups that will populate the fringes of the neighborhood. These minorities will soon increase in population and will eventually displace the establishing population, leading to a decline in the neighborhood. Neighborhood decline is characterized by the decrease of private home ownership in favor of landlords, decreased access to public services, overcrowding, buildings deteriorating in aesthetics and function, and ,controversially, a high percentage of poorer residents compared to the establishing population.

The Neighborhood life cycle can be considered a socio-economic phenomenon and it is tied to larger events such as “White flight”[Wiki link]. The final stage for an urban neighborhood is either complete decay and reclaiming the land, or renovating and improving the conditions of the neighborhood. In some cases there are federal guidelines in place to reclaim land, but this has incited controversy as some believe that neighborhoods are left without assistance on purpose, In other cases, neighborhoods could potentially attract investors or more affluent residents, but this can lead to gentrification [Wiki Link]  which can lead to population migration [Wiki Link]  against the will of the less affluent residents.
