It is the question if we start this right now or will wait until we have more and correct information.

| + | I hope I'm not stating the obvious here, but, IMDB has a full character list with each of the epesodes (BSG thru VOY). Many of the actors (maybe not 100%) are listed there, and most have a picture associated with their name/character, and a page dedicated to them.

Revision as of 17:39, 13 May 2012
There's an idea I've been toying with for a while; I may be out of my Vulcan mind, but hear me out.
I think we should run a Public Relations campaign to seek out the many unknown performers of Star Trek. There are literally hundreds of actors who we simply have no idea who they are.
Our pages are filled with images of these actors in character, and running a public relations campaign is not wholly unknown for a wiki (Wikipedia does it all the time, from its regular fundraising campaigns to the infamous anti-SOPA blackout).
The specific techniques for this would require a lot of work, but I was thinking about a combination (and coordination) of:
- Traditional PR involving distributed press releases
- On-wiki attention, perhaps highlighting a few performers at a time
- Some sort of social media campaign
Thoughts? --- Jaz 02:29, May 10, 2012 (UTC)
