Wikipedia Project- Forehead Advertising

My Wikipedia Project will be about Forehead Advertising. This current stub article does not have much of a discussion going for it, but I think revamping it would draw some attention to it. It’s a unique topic, and there are a lot of news links out there about this. I’m very curious to find out the origin of this type of advertising, as the author of this article claims it was his idea; however, many other forehead advertisers appeared around the same time as him from what I’ve read.

Feedback is appreciated!

 

EDIT 10/8/12

I’ve managed to update my Wikipedia article twice since the assignment date. My first edit was a complete re-write of the existing material. I watched that for two weeks with no response. I just added more information, so I’m hoping I will see some additional edits by other users along with new ratings and responses on the talk page.

  1. This looks like a very good candidate, especially if you can provide additional sources. One good tip is to make an account now (if you don’t have one already), and just do some random edits on different pages just to establish a history (like fixing broken links, fixing typos, etc). You also may want to make changes to this stub incrementally, to help increase the chances that they stay. When you create your account, drop a comment here with your username so I know which contributions are yours.

    I also encourage you to save everything you contribute offline, on the slim chance that the article gets deleted. It’s less likely to happen with an existing stub, but it is always a possibility.

    Good luck! Approved.
