What we have got wrong
This site has one asset: that it is never wrong. It has been wrong. Below is every time it has happened, with the old wording, the new one and the reason. The corrections stay. They are not deleted when they get old.
Jump to: 16 corrections · 6 times new material arrived
The log has been kept systematically since 21 August 2026, when the archive began storing old wording in its own fields. Entries before that date are reconstructed from the archive's own correction notes and are marked as such. There may be older corrections that were not preserved. Quotations of old and new wording are shown in the language they appeared in.

Front page, theme 004 on species, the headline
- It said
- Ingen har undersøgt, hvad der lever derude
- It now says
- Arterne er talt. De er aldrig vurderet.
The headline was wrong. The city's own baseline monitoring has surveyed the locality: 86 records, 70 species, fieldwork in 2024 and 2025. The two documents proving it were listed as sources directly beneath the headline. The page contradicted itself for five days, from the species data arriving on 21 August to the correction on 26 August. What is missing is not the count. It is the assessment.

Front page, the key figure next to 2047
- It said
- 0 kortlægninger af arterne før beslutningen
- It now says
- 0 artskortlægninger er planlagt
The same error as in theme 004. The monitoring fieldwork took place before the decision of 25 June 2026. The figure 0 is correct about something else: the Finance Administration stated on 4 August 2026 that no species survey is planned.

Write to them, the email tool's angle on species

- Arterne er ikke undersøgt. Københavns Kommunes egen baseline-monitering registrerede fem rødlistede fuglearter på arealet i 2024 og 2025. Økonomiforvaltningen oplyste den 4. august 2026, at en artskortlægning ikke er planlagt, og at den først vil være relevant i en senere fase.
- It now says
- Arterne er talt, men ikke vurderet. Københavns Kommunes egen baseline-monitering registrerede den 16. maj 2025 fem fuglearter med rødlistestatus på moniteringslokaliteten Golfbanen, heriblandt hættemågen i kategorien truet. Økonomiforvaltningen oplyste den 4. august 2026, at en artskortlægning ikke er planlagt, og at den først vil være relevant, hvis kommunen opnår aftale med staten om at overtage området.
Three errors in two lines. The headline was wrong for the same reason as theme 004. The birds were counted on one day, 16 May 2025, not across 2024 and 2025; the 2024 dates are botany and beetles. And the city's answer sets a condition, not a phase: that the city reaches agreement with the state to take over the area. This text matters most of all, because citizens send it on in their own name.

Front page and English front page, the share text and the page description
- It said
- Fire myndigheder har vurderet det.
- It now says
- Kommunen vurderer selv, at der sandsynligvis ikke kan dispenseres fra fredningen.
There is no source for the number four. The Conservation Board and the Environment and Food Appeals Board assessed a golf tournament with fencing, not a festival venue. The Danish Nature Agency has stated that it has not assessed the occurrence of Annex IV species in connection with this case. The sentence appeared twice and has been replaced in both places by something a document covers.

Front page, the section on wording
- It said
- Det samme ord, ni år fra hinanden. Begge citater er overborgmesterens egne offentlige ord.
- It now says
- Det samme ord, otte år fra hinanden. Begge citater er hendes egne offentlige ord. I 2017 var hun kandidat, ikke overborgmester.
Two errors. From 10 November 2017 to 25 June 2026 is eight years and seven months, not nine years. And she was a candidate in 2017, not Lord Mayor. That already stood in the caveat on the document's own page, two lines further down. The page contradicted itself.

Party page for The Free Greens

- Partiet har ikke afgivet protokolbemærkning, fremsat medlemsforslag eller udtalt sig i en kilde, vi har fundet.

- Protokolbemærkningen af 25. juni 2026 står nu på siden, som den også gør på Alternativets.
Wrong. The formal statement of 25 June 2026 was made by The Alternative and The Free Greens together. The cause was technical: the archive could attach only one party letter to a document, and the statement sat under The Alternative. The Free Greens' page therefore claimed the opposite of what the archive itself contained.

Party page for the Socialist People's Party, the label on a document from 2017

- forrige valgperiode. Fundet er fra før kommunalvalget i november 2025 og hører til den forrige byrådsperiode.
- It now says
- før valget i 2025. Fundet er fra før kommunalvalget i november 2025 og hører derfor til en tidligere byrådsperiode.
A document from 10 November 2017 is not from the previous council term. It is two terms back. The label was applied to everything older than the 2025 election, with no lower bound.

English front page, the key figure at 2047
- It said
- the year the lease runs to. The state cannot end it
- It now says
- the year the lease runs to. The state cannot terminate the lease
The English text went further than the Danish and further than the source. The Danish Nature Agency has stated that the lease cannot be terminated by the state, but also that intervention could happen through expropriation, a special act of law, or a voluntary agreement with the tenant. The lease can be brought to an end. Just not by termination.

English front page, document 006
- It said
- we would therefore like to look into whether, in the slightly longer term, it might be possible.
- It now says
- we would therefore like to look into whether, in the slightly longer term, an entrance fee could be charged in the area, which would then make both a festival and golf tournaments possible.
The English rendering of the quotation from 20 December 2024 was cut in half, and the entrance fee disappeared from it. The sentence ended as an empty claim, where the Danish one carries the point.

- De er kommunens naturmyndighed. Plejemyndigheden på netop dette areal er dog staten, ikke kommunen.
The sentence is correct about the city in general and misleading about this particular site. The golf area lies in sub-area 2 of the conservation order, where the managing authority is the state.

- It now says
- Kun dokumenter fra partiet selv eller fra et af dets medlemmer, med afsender og dato på hvert. Ingen fortolkning.
The heading did not fit three of the documents shown. An interview and an email from a single member are not the party as sender. The words No interpretation made the heading a claim that could be tested, and it failed.

The clock, the deadline on the request about the lease and finances
- It said
- Svarfrist 11. august 2026
- It now says
- Svarfrist 31. august 2026 (miljøoplysningsloven)
The deadline was calculated under the Access to Public Administration Files Act, because the request was made under it. But the Finance Administration has stated in writing that it processed the request under the Environmental Information Act, where the deadline is one month. With the wrong deadline, three timely answers, on 5, 14 and 18 August, looked late on our own page. The error hit us, and it hit the administration.

- Svarfrist: Ikke afklaret, med begrundelsen skrevet ud
Same cause. The request of 31 July 2026 was made under both acts, and the decision of 25 August does not state under which of them it was made. Under one act the deadline would be 11 August, under the other 31 August. Until the administration states the legal basis, the page shows no deadline. We have asked.

Our own summary counted wrong. The minutes list eight party letters. Eight plus the two that voted against makes ten, which is the number of parties on the City Council. The error was ours, not the minutes'. Corrected the same day it was found.

Front page, a document that should not have been shown
- It said
- Ordlyden er ikke bevaret.
- It now says
- Dokumentet er taget af forsiden.
A document marked in the archive as not for publication was on the front page for about an hour, because the front page pulled it in by a different route than the document pages. The build script now refuses to build if it happens again. The exact wording was not saved, so this entry is reconstructed from the archive's own note.
26. august 2026
The front page theme on species gained two caveats that were missing: that the ranking second of 45 applies to breeding birds, that measured on overall species richness the locality ranks 19th of 57, and that both figures apply to the city's 44.2 hectare monitoring locality, not the whole golf course.

Four new documents in the archive: no decision on a final extent and no map annexes, no decision on the number of event days, no noise calculations for the site, and the administration's own statement that the June case took no decision on siting.
