How listings work.

The launch directory covers public events physically located in Shenzhen, plus separately labeled online events when they are useful to Shenzhen residents. Nearby cities are not quietly mixed into results.

We use official pages, organizers, permitted public listings, and bilingual discovery routes. A source registry helps us find information; it does not grant permission to bypass access controls, private groups, or personal-session walls.

Information may be extracted, translated, normalized, and checked for duplicates. Models can assist with these steps, but their output remains a candidate until deterministic validation and the applicable review gate pass.

A listing needs enough checked information for someone to evaluate attendance: a title, date or honest time state, Shenzhen scope, controlled category and status, price state, source and check time, rights-safe content, and an authoritative attendance route.

Unknown stays unknown. Conflicting or privacy-sensitive facts are marked, held for review, or removed from the public projection. Internal confidence scores and copyrighted source snapshots are never presented as visitor-facing proof.

An event report is evidence to investigate, not an automatic edit. Accepted changes retain their source and change history. Use the report form on an event or the contact route for broader corrections.

Automation helps with discovery, translation, normalization, stale-data checks, and candidate matching. It does not erase provenance, authorize source access, or automatically merge ambiguous organizers.
