Talk:Zombie Walk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This page should NOT be moved to a "Flash Mob" page as it has nothing to do with advancing personal agendas political or otherwise.
A zombie walk also has no other purpose other than gathering in public for the sole reason of surrounding oneself with other similar minded people.
The fact that flash mobs target specific areas for a specific reasons also goes against the purpose of what a zombie walk is; which is to simply walk around dressed up zombies.

[edit] What's the point?
And what is the "point" of these demonstrations? 71.199.196.105 03:03, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
Generally, just to have fun. At least that's my impression. —GrantNeufeld 17:10, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
I fail to see why Zombie Walk cannot be used as a proper noun.
"The common meaning of the word or words constituting a proper noun may be unrelated to the object to which the proper noun refers. For example, someone might be named "Tiger Smith" despite being neither a tiger nor a smith."
A "Zombie Walk" is a noun that assumes the rights of a proper noun. There are countless other events and entities that use their titles in this way (Marathon of Hope). If you intend on changing the noun usage of this page then please provide additional reasoning.
Please take note that the title for this page is also capitalized; hence your lowercase fever is only adding to inconsistentcy.
[edit] SkyBrain
Downtownj: Please stop changing the reference to the SkyTrain to "SkyBrain". The SkyBrain does not exist and was just a fun nickname during the event. It is not encyclopedic to call it SkyBrain in the article. Thanks. —GrantNeufeld 17:12, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] problems with article
The news clip on Note #3 (CBC footage of the car incident) does not support the claims made about "severe damage to the car" and multiple insurance claims. Please find a better source or remove that assertion. -- nae'blis 15:45, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
Also, I don't believe it appropriate to use Wikipedia to advertise future events unless you can show that they are already receiving media coverage that can be cited. Otherwise it's just promotional material. -- nae'blis 15:46, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Vandalism?
Is this correct- Attention Whores can include anyone from executive management to the homeless[citation needed] which makes for an interesting social setting.
During the event attention whores are encouraged to remain in character?
It looks like vandalism.
