Is this article written like an advertisement?[edit]

This article uses phrases and sentences such as "King Schools is best known for its effective use of a folksy, humor-rich approach in their training videos characteristic of the Kings' presentation style", and "Of the courses they offer, the Private Pilot Knowledge Test Course is likely the most used, supporting FAA Part 61 ground schools".

In my opinion, and looking at Wikipedia's advertisement template page, Template:Advert, this article fails to use unbiased language and reads more like a "brag sheet" than a purely informational piece of text. It almost feels like large parts of the article were lifted straight from the company's About page.

Not all parts of the article read like an advertisement, though. Paragraphs 1 and 3 seem fine.

If this is not the proper protocol for bringing up a question like this one, I apologize. Flux1270. (talk) 15:42, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, a lot of this article reads like a puff piece. It should be edited to have more neutral language. 68.36.132.38 (talk) 16:25, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
