  The unitary isobar model MAID has been extended and used for a partial wave
analysis of pion photo- and electroproduction in the resonance region W < 2
GeV. Older data from the world data base and more recent experimental results
from Mainz, Bates, Bonn and JLab for Q^2 up to 4.0 (GeV/c)^2 have been analyzed
and the Q^2 dependence of the helicity amplitudes have been extracted for a
series of four star resonances. We compare single-Q^2 analyses with a
superglobal fit in a new parametrization of Maid2003 together with predictions
of the hypercentral constituent quark model. As a result we find that the
helicity amplitudes and transition form factors of constituent quark models
should be compared with the analysis of bare resonances, where the pion cloud
contributions have been subtracted.
