Audit of draft articles vs. transcript and issues found

Mar 12, 2025

Checklist-based audit identified transcription inconsistencies (speaker-name spellings and trail/place names), missing statute citation, and several participant-reported numbers requiring verification.

The full story

Spelling: Multiple inconsistent spellings of the facilitator and place names appear in the transcript. The facilitator self-identified as "Baravela" (SEG 005) but was later referenced in the transcript as "Bayer," "Baader" and variants. Trail/place names were inconsistent (Vistoso vs. Stosso vs. Stowson). Strava was referred to as both "Strava" and "Strata" in transcription. These inconsistencies can mislead readers and should be standardized in articles to match the earliest explicit self-identification or the most consistent correct form in the transcript.
