a "Work in progress" page -- to be confirmed, or to be edited by us. These are only drafts (eg listings suggested by us, on basis of websites).
For your information, believed to be correct, but wording may change. Not confirmed until moved to Your Updates page!
Draft listings are for the benefit of those wanting to be listed, so they can see how they look.
Typically, I'll copy an unrelated entry & then overwrite that. This may be typed up live, so change line by line, as typed!
Updates are emailed roughly every 2 weeks
