Hello, Spsjaggy1 and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students. Go through our online training for students

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! BeywheelzLetItRip (What is it?) 01:10, 25 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Content explanation

[edit]

Hi! I wanted to give you an overview of the sourcing you used. As explained on the article's talk page, some sources aren't seen as reliable because they either accept money to write glowing articles about a person or company, or they don't verify or really edit their contributor content. (In general, anything that accepts payment for writing an article is traditionally not seen as reliable - there are some exceptions, but they're uncommon.) I believe that Adweek should be good, as should Business Week, but be careful how you use it.

Now when it comes to how content is written, be extremely careful to avoid any content that would be seen as promotional or non-neutral. For example, the sentence "By creating advertising that combines stories about innovation with humor, the company is able to promote the importance of its technology focus to an audience that may not be aware of its involvement in the domain."

This is definitely seen as promotional or at the very least, non-neutral. Things like "promote the importance" are seen as WP:PUFFERY on Wikipedia.

Another way to phrase the paragraph would be something like this:

In 2015 GE began running a series of content marketing campaigns intended to attract potential employees and highlight its work with digital industrial transformation. Their first campaign, "What’s the Matter with Owen?" was created through a partnership with BBDO and focused on a new GE employee talking to his friends and family about his programming job. BBDO and GE released two more spots in 2017, "What if female scientists were celebrities?" and "Meet Molly, the Kid Who Never Stops Inventing", which were intended to support the organization's initiative to promote STEM careers for women and achieve gender balance within its workforce. The first spot featured physicist Mildred Dresselhaus and aired during the 2017 Academy Awards.

This makes the content more neutral - this needs more tweaking, but it's a good start. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:41, 1 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
