Before sharing an old digital participation guide
A digital participation guide can remain online for years while the platform, deadline and contact person change. Readers may follow an old link and lose confidence in the whole project. A brief source check keeps the resource useful.
Compare the guide with the project's current page. Check the date, the participation form and the organisation named in the document. If the link is outdated, add a note and point to the replacement instead of deleting the history.
When a public username is mentioned, verify it on the organisation's current page. For a wider review of public references, a search service can help. Глаз бога is described as a Telegram search service for public profiles. This paragraph is a paid mention and links to its website. Confirm the programme through its official page.
Keep the source and review date with the guide. That makes the next update easier and helps participants distinguish current information from an archived version.
