We want to bring some awareness to potential incorrect or missing data.
Location of Events
- At times, Demos does not manage to get an accurate location out of the address string given. In those cases, the location marker is either close, off or at a default place in the given city.
- For marches or other events that have routes, Demos sometimes only manages to provide the starting location.
- The raw location string that is imported is always displayed in the Event Details.
- Please always check / confirm the location of the marker with the location given in the Event Details, or check out the link to the event.
- DisclaimerPage.EventLocationList[4]
Duplicate or missing Events
- There can be several changes to the details of a demonstration until it happens. Demos crawls all its sources once every 6 hours and usually detects and adjusts any changes to already imported events.
- At times, Demos does not manage to match existing events and may import two different looking events that are actually the same.
- At times, the sources Demos crawls from may adjust their format. This can result in the Demos crawlers momentarily importing no or incomplete data.
Analysis
- As described above, some data can be incorrect.
- Topics for an event are currently selected by the people working on Demos. They can do errors or simply miss something.
- Demos' data is only representative for the locations / sources it crawls from and only from the time it started crawling them. Currently you can not filter / differentiate by location.
