A fact from Flying Lions Aerobatic Team appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 9 April 2014 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Ahunt, can you please elaborate on some of the reasons you added that tag? Petebutt and ktr101 both rated this as B-class. Thanks,

B class has nothing to do with whether it is an advertisement. The whole think reads like it was written by the team PR person. It is far too promotional in tone and describes the team members in far too much depth and far too non-neutral language, for instance using first names as if they are pals of the writer. Wikipedia does not use first names after the first mention. It sounds like it came directly from a team airshow press release. The article requires a rewrite. - Ahunt (talk) 16:48, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I rated this start-class, as there is no way I would have graded it that high (it's way too short for that right now). If anything, it should be stripped down and put back to start-class, but that is just my opinion.
