This page explains who stands behind the data and the rules every entry follows. ## Editorial principles Three rules govern the registry. First, every entry is sourced: each event is checked against the organiser and at least one independent reference. Second, unverified is left empty: a missing field is preferred to an interpolated one, so an empty value always means "not confirmed" rather than "zero". Third, everything is dated: each page carries a last-verified date so readers and AI assistants can judge freshness for themselves. ## How an entry is built An event enters the registry only after its core facts are confirmed: official name, organiser, dates, location, audience and scope. Duplicates and renamed events are merged and redirected so a single canonical page survives. Past editions are retained where they help readers understand a recurring event's track record. ## Sourcing and independence Events Index is independent of the organisers it documents. Listings are not paid placements and inclusion is editorial. Where an organiser's own description is the only source for a claim, the entry says so rather than presenting it as established fact. ## Corrections Accuracy improves when readers flag errors. If a date, venue, organiser or any other detail is wrong, or an event is missing, a correction request is welcome and reviewed against primary sources before any change is published. The last-verified date is updated whenever an entry is rechecked. ## More Read more about the project's mission and coverage on the [about](/about.html) page, or search the full [registry](/registry.html).
