Wikipedia Articles on Voter Decision-making Processes and Technology Supporting Voter Decision-making

W3C Voter Decision Support Community Group,

Greetings. I have some good and some bad news.

The bad news is that a Wikipedia article on the topics of Voter Decision Support System was deleted: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_decision_support_system . Here is the transcript of the brief discussion that took place: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Voter_decision_support_system .

The good news is that we can make one or more new Wikipedia articles together, perhaps using our group’s wiki pages as a staging area: https://www.w3.org/community/voter-decision-support/wiki/Main_Page . The Wikipedia articles can be on any related topics, e.g. Voter Decision-making Processes, Political Information Gathering, et cetera. Is there any interest in the group on collaborating on any such new encyclopedia articles? If so, which topics are of interest?


Best regards,
Adam Sobieski

P.S.:

Also, here are some publications of use to read and reference while authoring one or more new encyclopedia articles. Are there any other articles to recommend?
