Hoax?
According to User talk:Tjproechel, the creator of this article intends it to be a hoax and that "it still hasn't been spotted yet". However, I'm not sure about the accuracy of these comments, even though they were left by the author him/herself. Has anybody else been wondering about this? --Qmwne235 23:10, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- Although I'm not very familiar with the term, reverse graffiti isn't a hoax - just try a Google search. Ali (t)(c) 03:53, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
- This page is a hoax. The author admits it on Tjproechel's user talk. Tjproechel was the guy that made the Upper Peninsula War hoax.
Wish I had as much time on my hands as you, creating that page Upper_Peninsula_War looks so convincing. My page Reverse graffiti Still hasn't been spotted though.
People actually do "reverse graffiti," but I doubt the term is real, and the article probably has many falsities in it. SteveSims (talk) 04:13, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
I have heard the term used (several times in fact around my town), but maybe it is because of the article. NathanD 016 (talk) 16:53, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
However, this type of drawing images exists and is used widely by big firms for marketing in Europe. In Europe we use the term"Streetbranding", which has been used by Nike´s marketers and others. —Preceding

Besides the NYT article
( http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/10/magazine/10section3a.t-7.html ),
it has also been covered by NPR
( http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=3379017 ),
there is an instructables on it
( http://www.instructables.com/id/Reverse-Graffiti-with-Pressure-Washer/ ),
and there is at least one company

offering it as a commercial service.
Hoaxing people by calling something real a hoax. You have to admit, it's clever! I would like to see this article expanded with proper references, and especially with a good image of reverse graffiti. Guy Macon 15:38, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
Length of Sections
The article is very short with each "section" only a sentence so I have combined them in to one. 68.50.168.239 03:00, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
information
maybe it'd be worth talking about this article: http://blog.wired.com/underwire/2007/10/dirty-trick-cau.html . this page needs more information —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.221.143.13 (talk) 20:21, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
