FAQ
Let us know about it here.

No, that's not a typo. That's our indication that that event's description came from a press release or from the event organizer, because we always want you to know where our information is coming from if it's not from us. Most of the time, we write our own descriptions, but, if that hasn't happened yet, you'll see "promo copy" at the end.
