Article Evaluation: Snap Send Solve

• Article was on point and had no distracting information
• The Article offered a neutral position on the app
• The article did have some preference towards covering the company, institution, and large organization side of the app but did not cover much on public sentiment about the app
• Although the 1st link does not work, the rest are working
• Facts are references correctly and adequately
• The article contains info up until 2020 so it is mostly up to date
• revisions to add the app's offshoots in Australian sectors and in New Zealand were added
• The article is star class and low importance
• Wikipedia covers the government efficiency side of it where as we typically talk about the value of a certain technology to citizens

Possible articles to work on.

3 Articles related to the course that I can improve.

E-government: I could improve this by organizing its contents to make for sense for the reader as well as adding new content if necessary to improve the understanding of a reader.

Propaganda through media: I could improve this by adding more information to make it a relevant wiki page that does not replicate content on anther wiki page.

Civic technology companies: I could improve this by adding secondary sources for civic tech companies and more content and organization for those secondary sources.

New technology initiatives

1. Baltimore county working on a dashboard for citizens to view traffic stops online.⁶
2. New Mexico likely to spend 1 billion to develop internet infrastructure across the state.⁶

Final topic and sources

Selected article to add to: Civic technology companies

Things I will add to this article: This article consists of a simple definition of what a civic tech company is and then lists many civic tech companies' wiki pages with links to each page. To make this page more than a definition and links, I plan on adding relevant emerging civic tech companies on small, state levels and even global examples. These examples will help demonstrate the current status of civic tech companies while also updating the outdated list of civic tech companies on the wikipage. Furthermore, by describing these civic tech companies on the wiki page instead of only providing the link to them I can help add more insight into civic tech companies on this wiki page which has little description of the links it provides.
