+<question>What is the accuracy of the information here?</question>
+<answer>
+<p>
+The map locations of areas etc. and their canonical and non-canonical names
+should always be accurate. Of course the data may sometimes be out of date,
+new locations are not always added instantly (see also <a href="#1">this item
+of this FAQ</a>).
+</p>
+
+<p>
+However, the information about creators/contributors of areas, their addition
+dates, and other anecdotal data may be less accurate. 
+Much of this information originates from old newsposts made by wizards, other
+such notes, file modification timestamps of code, <a href="#2">interviews with creators and
+players, and multitude of other sources</a>. Inaccuracies with such "folklore"
+type information are inevitable. Newsposts, notes, timestamps and such
+may also be for the big post-1996 conversion, while a location may have actually
+also existed before that. Dates may also be for further recodes of an area.
+</p>
+<p>
+Additionally methods of "best estimation", deduction, guesswork, magical
+thinking and time travel may have been employed to obtain dates
+and information when more accurate sources are unavailable.
