@Alexander Shipfield: I have reverted your edit. The term "propaganda" has a pejorative meaning not normally associated with advertising, given that it implies deception in the form of half-truths and/or untruths being promoted as fact. Advertising in general, as opposed to false advertising, does not possess those characteristics. Discuss your edit here and offer reliable sources that support your edit before you make it again, please. General Ization ^Talk 20:24, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Very obvious tense mismatch spotted, in casual reading: "In the UK, most forms of outdoor advertising such as the display of billboards is regulated by the UK Town and County Planning system." => "... most forms ... are regulated by ..." (Also would ideally put "such as ... billboards" in parens or make it a commaed subclause, for flow purposes.) - But leaving it up to anyone else who wants to pass by, who has the wherewithall to do it. 89.243.19.27 (talk) 20:24, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd ask for the inclusion of the link 'criticism of advertising' on the 'see also' section but it is blocked for edition. I hope the block of the article isn't lobbied by the ad-mafia It is necessary for the article completeness and non-biasedness etc. I'm not logged in, so please just include it. I cannot receive answers and I shouldn't really care. It is your responsibility. Thanks. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_advertising 94.60.183.139 (talk) 22:48, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
