Evaluate the article
The article, in my opinion, is well done. If a user wants to view what advertising is, when it appeared, why it appeared, and the summary of its usage: it is displayed right when you click the link. If the user wants more detailed history of advertising, it is given as you scroll down with various dates and examples from those time periods. If the user wants more knowledge on the different kinds of advertising, the effects of advertising, and the research done on the field: all the user has to do is scroll down, and they are met with neatly compiled information. The article has various viewpoints in terms of the effects it has/had on society and there is no absolute or biased view on advertising as a whole. The information is detailed but concise, with numerous references giving it more credibility and variance. There is also an abundance of images that give the user a clear look on how different advertising techniques were used and how they looked in general. The talk page has many users discussing minor changes, in my opinion, and clarifying edits to avoid making it redundant. This article is complete in my eyes: giving more than enough information and images for users to be satisfied while also being concise. I don't think there could be a drastic way to improve it; it is fine as it is.
