Hey it's steph from comm375..I'm just posting this on your wall for the homework! (Scriptgeek (talk) 22:10, 14 September 2011 (UTC))[reply]

Hey - you've got some good directions for your project but you should pare it down pretty soon. 1) Ensure that your project is about a communicative event. 2) Make sure you're authoring something new or expanding a stub. Long articles don't need help. A history of superbowl advertising is not communication studies - its a history and a set of facts. However, you might find some good articles regarding hypercommercialization or some other subtopic that you could add to it. Check out scholar.google.com and search around a bit. For example, I pulled this up immediately, which is obviously within the communication studies arena. Debaser42 (talk) 23:53, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Feedback

[edit]

Hello Mike Nolan33. I reviewed your edit to Super Bowl advertising and found it to be a rather good inclusion to the article. There was one word that the context did not support, so I took liberty to correct it to what I believe was your intention. Otherwise, my only advice is to avoid using what we call weasel words because they are normally impossible to substantiate with the given sources. In the specific case of your edit, where you attribute the phenomena to "many" companies, many is generally an opinion and should not be use to describe an activity that "some" companies participate in. For the most part, your edit was constructive, supported by a reference, and an overall improvement to the article. Good job. My76Strat (talk) 03:20, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]


Hey, I looked at your sandbox page, and one thing I was thinking that you could possibly add would be the harmful effects of video games on education? Just a thought! (Scriptgeek (talk) 22:04, 14 October 2011 (UTC))[reply]

Hey!

Here is the link to the general ambassador program that I was telling you about the other day. If you are interested, the links for each type of ambassador lead to the process with which you could use to apply. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask, and if I do not respond within a few days, feel free to leave a note on my talk page. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 07:50, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
