When to ask a person instead

If a watch is up, ask it instead — somebody with both hands free and a real screen can answer things this list cannot. This is what you have when nobody is watching, and it is worse, on purpose.

You can report a problem with any listing below. It goes out under your callsign, or anonymously if you have not picked one, and adds what you saw — it cannot delete this listing or overrule anybody, and nobody has to approve it. Reporting is meant to be easier than fixing.

Nobody knows curfew, phone. If you are there, ask.

Somewhere you have been, or phoned. Not somewhere you read about — that goes to the maintainers, because a place nobody checked can send somebody to a locked door.

Why there is no search here

Query goes to the watch. Someone with both hands free does the lookup, can ask a follow-up, and can be wrong out loud. Searching a list one-handed in the cold is the problem the watch exists to solve — so this stays something to browse when there is nobody to ask, and not a substitute for asking.
