We already have an article on Civic technology. This list is being used as an advertisement in defiance of WP:NOT.

Title of this article edit
Per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization), I believe the title of this article needs changing to not show capitalization throughout. Also should this title include the term "list"? Jooojay (talk) 21:17, 11 September 2018 (UTC)
Introduction paragraph edit
In the sentence "Civic technology encompasses any type of technology that enables greater participation in government affairs, or 'assists government in delivering citizen services and strengthening ties with the public'", there should not be a comma before the word "or" because it is not followed by an independent clause. The sentence should also be modified to read "assists the government" instead of "assists government". Randomize64 (talk) 14:43, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

Real Civic Companies, Their Stories edit
I would like if there were links to specific companies in Civic Technology and their stories. Zeinaxd (talk) 23:22, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
Civic Technology Article Evaluation edit
The first paragraph uses the word Civic technology and Government technology to highlight the difference between the two, it seems that this is unnecessary to be put in the first introductory paragraph itself. Suggestion: maybe you could add another section on government technology vs civic technology.
In the second section titled "Categories of these companies", the categories are in sentences whereas they could be in bulet points. Also, the title could be reframed as "categories" instead to reduce repetition.
I like the visual graphic nearing the end of the article, it clearly demonstrates the point you are trying to get across. Overall, I feel the tone is neutral and I feel like the citations are accurate with little to no hint of bias. Civictech (talk) 05:31, 11 October 2022 (UTC)
Propose deletion edit
This is redundant to Comparison of civic tech platforms and Civic technology.
None of the sources are reliable and little to nothing seems worth salvaging here Superb Owl (talk) 02:53, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
