As a group, we have analyzed and reviewed the Wikipedia article on Representative Bureaucracy. We have come to an agreement, that the current article is lacking substantial information and fails to sufficiently inform Wikipedia users about Representative Bureaucracy. Each of the four present sections can be significantly expanded and a lot of information regarding representative bureaucracy is missing. The first and second section has some relevant information regarding representative bureaucracy. We will be combining and expanding the two into a History section. The Active and Passive Bureaucratic Representation sections should be expanded. The section on Representative Bureaucracy by Samuel Krislov proceeds to give almost no information regarding the book, so it can be added to the History section if seen as relevant. There are very few external links to other Wikipedia pages. While nine sources are listed in the reference section, only four are truly being used. The current references listed appear to be noteable resources, however it seems they are not being properly utilized. The existing page lacks adequate information about a topic as vast as representative bureaucracy and fails to utilize a decent number of references. The article is inadequate and will require a page restructuring in order to deliver an efficient and organized layout that is user friendly. Also, the content present on the page needs to be modified and placed within the appropriate subsection. As a group, we will have to collectively restructure and deliver a resourceful page that adheres to Wikipedia guidelines. ____________________________________________________________________________

Project Proposal: Describe what/why/how our team will contribute to Wikipedia.

  • Section 1: Evaluation of Existing Article Quality
  • FIRST:

begin with a two-to three sentence summary The representative bureaucracy page is lacking. There are 4 sub-sections, each could be expanded upon and a lot of information regarding representative bureaucracy is missing.

analyze and describe the quality The quality of the article is poor. The article is short, with few links to other pages and only 4 sources. what are the strengths and weaknesses

  • Strengths:

Has some relevant information regarding representative bureaucracy.

  • Weaknesses:

References Samuel Krislov’s Representative Bureaucracy, proceeds to give almost no information regarding the book or any of the information therein. Very few links to other wiki pages Upon closer inspection, the 9 sources I mentioned are actually just 4 sources. what should be removed Definition subsection either needs to be expanded or removed. what requires more support The passive and active bureaucratic representation sections should be expanded. Samuel Krislov section could be expanded or transformed into a history section. are all information relevant considering the fact that there is barely any information in the article, yes, what is there is relevant. does it link to other wikipedia sites? Yes, but not nearly enough. are there any links that you could add Plenty.
