History of public relations
This peer review discussion has been closed. Hoping to get a fresh pair of eyes on the page with a GA review in mind, while I work on the final "Modern Era" section. CorporateM (Talk) 02:23, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry to be a drive-by reviewer; I have only one comment. Bernays says in Propaganda that Walter Lippmann coined his famous manufacture of consent in 1922 but there's no mention of Lippmann anywhere in here.  Is PR used for political ends not worth mentioning in this article about history (vs. the article about PR application)?  Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 03:34, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I like the lack of references in the lede stylistically; the lede ought to be a summary of the referenced material in the body of the article; however, it might be better to add references in this form to the lede thus linking the information in the lede to the referenced material in the body.

 * I note that the article does not mention diplomacy, Confucius, or The Prince. Not that those subjects are part of the academic history of public relations. User:Fred Bauder Talk 22:23, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
