The template

Documentation

This template should be used when the article appears to have been written by a public relations agent acting on behalf of the subject of the article, or having some connection with the subject. It is used when the article is not necessarily a blatant advertisement, but is still overly promotional in tone.

Placement

Place at the top of the article to alert editors.

Usage

You may use the optional date parameter, e.g. {{newsrelease|date=January 2026}}. This helps with the categorization of articles requiring attention.

The simplest way to add this template to an article is to copy and paste {{newsrelease|date=January 2026}} at the top of the article or talk page.

Add a new item to the talk page explaining the problem so editors will know what to address, and when to remove this tag.

Notes

Redirects

None.
