Corrections Policy

What to report

Report incorrect dates, unclear timezone labels, broken links, outdated holiday information, wrong calendar notes, confusing conversion examples, missing FAQ answers, or pages that do not explain how to use a tool.

What to include

A good correction report includes the page URL, the current text or value, the expected correction, your source, and why the change matters. Official government, school, airline, event organizer, or recognized standards links are preferred.

How we review

We compare the report against available public sources, determine whether the issue affects one page or a template family, update the page if needed, and may add a clearer note where the answer depends on location or official announcement.

Prioritization

Corrections are prioritized when they affect many users, appear on high-traffic pages, relate to public holidays or legal deadlines, or create a risk of missed meetings, travel confusion, or planning mistakes.

Limitations

We cannot provide personal legal, travel, school, payroll, or religious advice. If a deadline has consequences, verify it with the official organization responsible for that deadline.

Follow-up

Not every correction receives a public reply, but useful reports are used to improve the site. If the same issue appears across many pages, we may update a template or script rather than only one URL.

Correction examples

Useful reports include messages such as: “This city changed daylight saving rules; here is the government source,” “This holiday is observed on Monday in this state, not on the calendar date,” or “This page says the event is confirmed but the organizer has not announced the date yet.” Reports that only say “wrong” are harder to evaluate.

When a correction reveals a template issue, we may update hundreds of related pages rather than only the reported URL. For example, a wording problem in a timezone explanation can affect many city pages. A single good report can therefore improve a larger section of the site.

Ongoing review

This page is part of the site trust and quality system. We review these policy pages when new tools, datasets, advertising features, or editorial workflows are added. The practical standard is that users should understand what the site does, where the data comes from, how to report issues, and when they should verify an answer with an official source. Clear policies help keep the utility pages useful, accountable, and easier to evaluate.
