Upcoming Edits

I'm planning on editing and updating to this article. Here are some parts I think need some modifying:

1. Modify and reformat history section: -Better summarize and connect the three numbered points in a cohesive paragraph. Currently the parts don't connect very well and can be hard for readers to understand

2. Instead of having a "on the definition" section, I suggest changing it to "effect of e-participation" -I think the first section about the definition of participation is slightly irrelevant so it could bet condensed

-The paragraph touches on how e-participation changes decision making and how it's changing citizen engagement rather than the definition, I think this is a more relevant title for this section

3. Citations: - There are multiple direct quotes in the article which is not in line with Wikipedia's policies, I will be modifying these quotes to fit Wikipedia policy

4. "Models and Tools" section could be modified as "Technology and Tools" - Each section under this topic isn't elaborated upon and only links to other pages so it doesn't show how it relates to e-participation. I think tools and technology should be related back to e-participation and how they each facilitate or help evaluate e-participation rather than just listing.

- Technology can be updated as well. For instance, I think quadratic voting is a developing and emerging technology that is relevant to e-democracy and could be added in the tools section. https://medium.com/eximchain/what-makes-quadratic-voting-an-effective-democratic-voting-mechanism-d7a555de8f6b

5. Add section about advancements in e-participation - Especially in the EU, there has been a lot of reports on how e-participation projects have turned out and how people are participating through e-participation. These can be used as examples to show trends and how e-participation has grown in the past decade https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/8879652 https://www.un.org/esa/desa/papers/2020/wp163_2020.pdf

- The e-participation index as defined by the UN should be mentioned in the article as well https://publicadministration.un.org/egovkb/en-us/About/Overview/E-Participation-Index

These are just some of my thoughts and I would really value some input and I'm open to suggestions! H.Susanna (talk) 02:55, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Peer Review:

In the first section defining E-participation I think the definition is long-winded and includes direct quotes which should not be used in a wiki article. Next, in the section "on the definition" I had trouble understanding the section due in part because it lacks concision. Lastly, I agree that there should be mention of e-participation because that is a newer and relevant topic. Esk00 (talk) 06:57, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
