Corrections

We get things wrong. Venues close, fares change, school zones redraw, a writer mishears a price. When that happens we want to hear about it and we want to fix it visibly.

This page exists so you know exactly what to expect when you report an error.

How to report an error

Email [email protected] with:

• The URL of the page
• The specific claim that’s wrong (a quoted sentence is best)
• What the correct information is
• Where you sourced the correction (a venue’s own website, an updated PTV timetable, etc.) — optional but helps us verify faster

You don’t need to be a journalist or a domain expert. If you live near the venue and walked past it last week and the door said “permanently closed,” tell us.

What happens next

1. We acknowledge within two business days. A real human at the editor inbox replies. If we need more information from you, we ask.
2. We verify against primary sources. If you reported a closure, we check the venue’s own channels and Google Maps. If you reported a wrong fare, we check PTV. If you reported a wrong opening time, we call.
3. We update the article. The change is made and a correction note is appended visibly to the article — not silently swapped in. The note states what was changed, what it was changed to, and the date.
4. We add an entry to the public log below. Every correction is permanent. We do not delete corrections from the log even if the article is later updated, archived, or unpublished.
5. We thank you. Often by name in the correction note, with your permission.

Our commitment

• Corrections are public. They appear on the affected article AND on this page.
• Corrections are append-only. We never delete a logged correction.
• Corrections are dated. Every entry shows when it was logged.
• We do not silently edit factual claims. If we change a fact in an article post-publication, it is logged.
• We do not change dateModified to fake freshness. dateModified only updates when a substantive correction or addition is made.

The only edits that don’t get logged are typos, broken-link fixes, image-quality replacements, and other non-factual housekeeping.

What does not require a correction

• Opinion. We rank places, we recommend, we say what’s overrated. Disagreement is not error. If you think we’re wrong, we’d love a letter, but we won’t change the rating because you disagree.
• Updates that reflect new information after publish (a venue that opened, a price that changed last week). Those go into a normal “updated” pass at the next quarterly review of the article, not a correction.
• Style preferences (capitalisation of suburb names, em-dash vs en-dash, etc.).

Public corrections log

The log below is append-only. Newest entries at the top. Every entry includes the affected URL, the date the correction was made, the original wording, the corrected wording, and a brief note on the source.
