Inspire campaign

Spreading Wiki

I think wiki should invest some money in online and TV advertisements. This will make Wikipedia more popular and people will start editing and the world will get to know new info. Another idea can be that wiki can go to public places, sponsor big events so that the world knows.

Project idea

What language Wikipedia projects will you promote to new readers?

All languages but mostly english

How will you communicate with new readers? Will you be communicating with them online, in-person, or both?

As a lot of students are online these days many of them happen to come across ads. I prefer doing it online but you can send people to tell people about Wikipedia in-person.

Think about the steps that might involved to make this idea happen, and what you might teach people about your experience or others' experiences using Wikipedia.
My idea is to spread awareness about Wikipedia on online ads in partnership with google. You can tell people that Wikipedia tells you new information and you can a learn a lot from it.
