Ok guys, I hate getting conflicting information back and forth via database updates.
Lets hash stuff out here, and then submit to the database (I am not the only one for CT, but I tend to do a bunch of them).
To help us, please try to submit changes in the following manner:
Type in (or highlight then try to properly format) the current database line that needs to be changed,
Then under it in the same format, type in the correction and/or note what part needs to be changed.
We get submissions that just have "PL 156.7" needs to be added with NO additional information to long essay's on how system y should be changed because system x 5 states away is formatted a certain way.
All I personally want to know is what is wrong, in detail, and what needs to be changed, in detail.
This is not pointed to one specific person(s), it just makes our lives easier.
In addition, CONFIRMED, by you (the submitter) information, is really the only acceptable way to submit. Offical sources is always welcomed. However, FCC data alone, or rumors and the such is not acceptable. This generates inaccurate entries for everyone then becomes a mess to clean up.
This is also why I deprecate information for a min of 30 days before its deleted, in case I need to resurrect the information. Once its actually deleted, its unrecoverable.
There is a feature we have to "suppress" the timestamp update, which highlights the changes in green for 24 hours. If items are deleted, sometimes the category will show a star, but obviously the deleted item will not appear. The county should be green for a day and then yellow for 7 days. If I go in and make administrative changes (Typo's, etc) I'll check that box. The flip side is, when I did let It go green, there would be a bunch of posts of "hey what changed, looks the same". Damn if you do, damn if you don't.
Sometimes its just the browser using its cache and not updating with the new information.
