Talk:Corporate promoter

Untitled

This article is extremely confusing. It lacks sufficient context for readers untutored in law and corporate theory. It just proceeds as if it were in media res in some law textbook. The confusing content needs to be clarified before copyediting work is done. Rintrah 14:39, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

The only thing I found confusing about the article is its supposed legal aura. I searched extensively in Google, and the SEC site together with some law sites and found no such term. Granted, there may be legal issues involved in corporate promotion, as there is in many other activities but it is not, per se, a legal topic. --JAXHERE | Talk 01:53, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

promoters' (sic)

The following appears as the second heading of the article.

MEANING OF PROMOTERS'

This is so obviously flawed that I intend to revise it. Everybody got to be somewhere! (talk) 20:33, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

projector

An earlier term for "corpporate promoter" is "projector". I know this from extensive reading or various nineteenth-century material, especially the Dictionary of National Biography, but also novels by Dickens and even more recent novels set in the nineteenth century, e.g., Hornblower. I need to link "projector" to this article, but I do not know how to find a reference to cite that will let be add "projector" to this article. -Arch dude (talk) 20:06, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

This definition is also the first definition of "projector" given at Wiktionary: wiktionary:projector. I think this suffices to add it here. -Arch dude (talk) 20:22, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
