Thanks for the discussion. This article will be archived shortly.
Admins are once again reminded that the error pointed out in the newspaper was imported into this site from the Govt. site. While the error seems to have been immediately corrected here, the wrong info continues to exist in the Govt. site.
We may take this article in a positive light. While there are innumerable errors in the Govt. site and the site itself is down regularly, there are no reports on that. It would seem that the people and newspapers are resigned...
more... to the existence of problems there. Newspapers don't even bother to report about them anymore, and seem to have given up all hope.
However, IRI is held to a far higher standard. In our millions of instances of updates and changes on a daily/monthly basis, even a single error is highlighted. Let us live up to this exacting "Six Sigma" Standard. While errors are unavoidable, let's continue to correct errors when encountered (as we have been doing). While there may still be errors on this site, IRI in all probability is the fastest site on the internet to correct errors. This dynamic state of affairs puts us on par or even ahead of Google & Wikipedia.
Especially, when updating timetables from the Govt. site, pl. take extra precaution. As such, most information on this site comes from first-hand observations of our members, and there have not been any glaring errors so far. Our members are better citizen journalists than newspapers. Already we trust our smart members more than the official site. Let's keep this site pristine, and prevent errors like the ones pointed above from creeping into this site.
Once again, thanks to Punjab Kesari for highlighting this error. The journalist in question is invited to be a member here, and send a pvt. post if he discovers any more errors. It is not necessary to write a detailed full-page article elaborating on one single error. It takes half-a-second to correct errors. In the internet age, things happen fast. As demonstrated in the above case, the error will be corrected immediately. If you choose instead to spend a couple of days researching on one single error, it is highly probable that the error itself will be corrected before the publish date, rendering your article irrelevant.
