Give the facts your piece needs

Keep confirmed facts separate from guesses.

Give the exact facts you have checked, and name needed details that are still open. Include a year when it helps avoid a date mix-up.

Do not label every date or vague place safe to share. A few general details together can still identify someone or reveal a plan.

If you add a contact or place later in your own copy, review that final copy too. Adding it by hand does not make it private once you share the piece.

Leave passwords, account details and private records out of the prompt. Share other people’s details only when you have a sound reason and the needed permission.

A label such as our courtyard may be enough for residents who know it. It may be too vague for invited visitors. Choose a clear place that is suitable for the actual audience.

Keep the time gap in the draft.

Made-up event facts: Building Potluck, for building residents, Saturday, November 14, 2026, in the shared room. Bring one dish to share. Start and end times are not confirmed. Make a six-line draft with the time gap visible.

Sample book swap: Sunday, November 15, 2026, 2 to 4 p.m., for building residents. Bring up to three books. The room is not set. Write a request that preserves these facts and keeps the place gap visible.
