First Article: Online petition
edit- In the history section, more can be added by discussing how new legal and technological frameworks enabled online petition and activism.
- For instance, the Computer Security Act of 1987 required that National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) develop a new national standard for computer encryption. Such developments increased participation in online petition due to enhanced cybersecurity.

- In the debate over efficacy section, I can point out that participation to online petition is heavily skewed to younger generation, with little to no participation from the older population.

Second Article: Online Encyclopedia
editI've noticed that this article is at a poor state, with few citations
- I think I should briefly explain what project Gutenberg is, then cite it.
