How community corrections are reviewed

Overview

Anyone signed in to Liners can suggest a correction or addition to a product, event, investor, or comparison page. We call it a crowdsourced edit. Suggestions help the community keep Liners accurate, but nothing is applied automatically.

Submitting a Suggestion

To suggest an edit, you:

1. Visit the page and open the edit control. Product pages show an Edit action in the product actions area. Event, investor, and comparison pages use a fixed side Edit button.
2. Pick the area of the listing you want to change (Tagline, Description, etc.).
3. Pick the operation: Update (change something that's there) or Add (fill in something missing).
4. Describe the change in what should change. Be specific so reviewers can understand the issue.
5. Optionally add a source URL, a public http or https link that backs up your change. It's not required, but it can speed up review.
6. Submit.

You need to be logged in to submit. We don't accept anonymous suggestions.

What You Can Suggest

You can submit a suggestion on any product, event, investor, or comparison page. Within each, pick the area that best describes what you want to change, or pick "Other" if nothing fits. We deliberately keep the area list short because it's a triage hint, not a strict form.

What Happens After You Submit

1. Abuse protection: we check for spam, duplicates, excessive submission patterns, and users with too many open suggestions.
2. Quality check: the suggestion needs enough detail for a reviewer to understand what should change.
3. Source URL validation: source URLs are checked when provided. Private, local, or non-web URLs are not accepted.
4. Queueing: accepted suggestions enter Pending status and wait for review.
5. Confirmation email: QA Quinn emails you to confirm your suggestion is in the review queue.
6. Review: an admin reads your description and checks the relevant entity. If the suggestion makes sense, the admin makes the change manually, then marks the suggestion Approved. If it doesn't hold up, the suggestion is Rejected with a note when appropriate.

Some very low-signal submissions may be dropped before they enter the review queue. We do not expose the exact quality filters because that would make the queue easier to spam.

Email Notifications

You'll get an email at each stage:

Withdrawing a Suggestion

While your suggestion is Pending, you can withdraw it from your suggestions dashboard. Withdrawn suggestions are marked Rejected with the note "Withdrawn by submitter".

Summary

Crowdsourced edits let the community keep Liners accurate. You write a short description of what should change; we review it, apply the change if it checks out, and email you the result. Nothing bypasses review.
