Article Evaluation

This is actually the article I used for the previous exercise, "Evaluate an Article". When I first began that exercise, I thought the article I chose there would be the one that I would be using during the first half of the quarter for my contribution exercises.

Rather than repeat what I've already included there, I'll expand on what I would do below.

However, before creating the edits, etc. I would first perform a deeper dive in the edit history. I performed a cursory review of it, mainly to familiarize myself with how that works. Most of the edits from the most recent history (~ 1 year ago), seem pretty minor. I'd like to find when the last major change was made. Also, I want to attempt to engage with the other users on the Talk page. As I stated on the other section, the last Talk entry was from 2014. It would be nice to engage with others about the topic. (I certainly don't consider myself an expert on the subject of "Online Deliberation".) I also plan on looking more into the WikiProjects this is a part of.

Remove the dead link (basic, but that bothers me)
Create a new section for international conferences
Find more sources for the Quality of Online Deliberation section
- Focus in on some of the areas that have more political biases that I think are appropriate
- Remove the sections that have no citations
Update the information to make it more current
Research "Mass Online Deliberation" to understand if it is peer reviewed. If it's not, note it accordingly
Fix the citation for Wiki Government: How Technology Can Make Government Better, Democracy Stronger, and Citizens More Powerful
