'''Campaigns are an essential [[feature]].'''


Campaigns are meant to be run only by organisations, not individuals; Individual opinions can be expressed by writing [[Review]]s and by [[voting]] on campaigns.
Campaigns can be calls for [[boycott]] or [[endorsement]]. They can be targeted at individual [[product]]s [[product group]]s, [[brand]]s, [[company|companies]], [[corporation]]s, [[advertisement]]s, [[supply chain]]s, [[industry|industries]] or [[area]]s. Areas can be [[province]]s or [[country|countries]].

*Anyone can start a campaign on any campaignable issue, thus becoming a [[Campaign Manager]]
*Anyone can start a campaign on almost anything, thus becoming a [[Campaigner]]
*You may subscribe only to one of the campaigns targeted at the same thing

*Campaigners can be [[virtual]] or [[real]] entities (cybercampaigns and realworld campaigns should be treated a little differently, real have more "weight" then virtual)

==Campaign Management==
==Campaign Management==
Basically there are three models to Campaign Mangement of which only '''Wiki Management''' is taken into account in [[Simple model for expressing opinions]]. The other two may be introduced later to counter [[sock puppet]] and other wiki attacks
Basically there are two models to Campaign Mangement:
 
===Wiki Management===
*Highly volatile
*Requires dedicated attention from campaign "managers"


===Central management===
===Central management===
*The [[Campaign Manager]] makes all decisions regarding the campaign and the subscribers get notified of changes and have a possibility to withdraw their vote if the deem the change unacceptable
*The managing entity makes all decisions regarding the campaign and the subscribers get notified of changes and have a possibility to withdraw their vote if the deem the change unacceptable
*Quick response times

The question on should the use of this option to cascade a campaign be made by the campaigner or the [[consumer]] is yet unresolved.

==Duration of Campaigns==
Campaigns have an [[activation date]], an [[deactivation date]] and optionally an [[expiration date]]


By default the the activation date is the date that the campaign is registered and the deactivation and expiration date are not set.
It is possible to start building a campaign before it becomes active. A typical case of this would be for example special campaign days or weeks like [[w:Buy Nothing day|Buy Nothing day]] where the campaign exists propably indefinatelly, but is active for only one day.
so i propose the following terminology to distinguish what state a campaign is in:
*[[Inactive Campaign]] - registered, but not activated: can be activated or nullified by campaign management or by set activation date or expiration date
*[[Active Campaign]] - registered and activated: can be inactivated or nullified by campaign management or by set expiration date
*[[Archived Campaign]] - [[nullify|nullified]] by campaign management or expired: Cannot be activated again

[[Question]]: Campaigns - How do the voting systems work now that WikiVotes have been introduced. Previously there were two distinct vote types Direct Votes and Indirect Votes, but since the introduction of Campaign management by Wiki and the included idea of Opinion Wiki accepting and handling votes this scheme is a little broken
