What to send

Corrections matter most to a guide that dates its facts. If a price or an hour on a page no longer matches what the business or the park publishes, send the page address and a link to the source that has it right. Errors of fact are fixed on the page with a dated note, as the editorial policy describes.

Closures are worth a message even when they are temporary. A trail shut for repairs or a business closed for the winter can make a page wrong overnight, so say what closed and, if possible, where the notice was posted.

For the event calendar, send the event's name, its date and start time, where it happens and a link to the organizer's own page or flyer. Every date on the site needs a source a reader can check, so the link counts for more than the description.

If a business the site covers has new owners or a new name, send what changed with a link to its own site or to a local news report.

Trips and lodging

Fayetteville Insider does not book trips or lodging, and it cannot change or cancel a reservation. The business that holds the booking is the one to contact.
