Corrections Policy

Accuracy and accountability

Boardwalks.org corrects factual errors, broken links and outdated material when reliable evidence shows that published information is wrong or no longer current.

Submitting a correction

A precise report can be checked more quickly

Use the Contact page and include the affected URL, the wording or table entry in question, the proposed correction and the strongest available source. Official notices, current municipal codes, managing-agency pages and dated technical records are especially useful.

Personal experience can identify a problem.A first-hand report may prompt review, but a changeable rule or fee normally requires confirmation from the responsible authority.

Review

The published claim is compared with its date, jurisdiction and source

Scope checkThe exact page, location and claim are identified.
Source checkThe authority, publication date and current status of competing sources are compared.
Context checkTemporary event rules, emergency restrictions and seasonal notices are separated from permanent policy.
Page reviewRelated tables, summaries, captions and internal links are checked so the same error is not left elsewhere.
DecisionThe text is corrected, clarified, dated or retained with additional context.

Correction display

The size of the error determines how the change is shown

Change type	Typical treatment
Minor copy edit	Spelling, punctuation or formatting may be fixed without a correction note when meaning does not change.
Clarification	Ambiguous wording may be narrowed or expanded. The updated date may change when the clarification is material.
Factual correction	Incorrect rules, dates, measurements, fees, names or access details are replaced. A correction note may identify the previous error.
Substantial revision	Sections may be rewritten when a law, managing authority or core source changes. The page’s updated date should reflect the revision.
Removal	Material may be removed when it cannot be verified, creates a legal or safety concern, duplicates another page or no longer fits the publication.

Boundaries

Disagreement is not always an error

Differences in taste, preferred terminology or visitor experience are not necessarily factual mistakes. Descriptive passages may be revised when they create a misleading generalization, but they are evaluated differently from a published ordinance, fee or measurement.

Requests to remove accurate public-interest information are considered in light of source quality, relevance, privacy, safety and applicable law.
