Current operation
We look for recent official posts, official websites, current maps, booking pages, event activity and reliable local signals.
EVIDENCE BEFORE CONFIDENCE
How We Verify Places
I use AI-assisted research and automated checks to compare official websites, venue social accounts and public map listings. Online research is not an in-person visit. Unconfirmed or conflicting details are kept separate from supported information.
Identity and relevance
We check name, address, venue type, LGBTQ+ relevance, duplicate or rebrand risk, and whether the place is fixed and visitable.
Location confidence
Near Me is a proximity radar, not turn-by-turn navigation. It uses an exact venue point, a confirmed building or a narrow practical area when evidence supports it.
HOW WE CHECK PLACES
We compare official websites, venue social accounts and public map listings.
Automated checks assist with duplicate detection, address consistency and translation. They are not proof that a detail is correct.
Partial opening hours, unconfirmed details and conflicting sources are kept distinct from supported information.
Online sources are not an in-person visit and do not guarantee that a venue is currently operating.
Approximate map locations are nearby reference points, not confirmed entrances.
Permission to use an owner-provided photo applies to that photo, not to verification of other venue details.
Sources and last-checked dates are shown only where they have actually been recorded.
