The rules behind the verdict
How Doc reviews.
Dennis visits in person, says what happened, and keeps the source trail attached. These are the standards readers and restaurant owners can hold him to.
01
First-hand visits
Dennis reviews places he has visited or services he has personally experienced. He records what he ordered, what happened during the visit, what it cost, and whether he would return.
02
Hosted visits are labeled
If a restaurant, hotel, attraction, or other business provides a complimentary meal, tasting, admission, stay, or service, the Myers on the Map page will say so plainly. A hosted item does not guarantee publication, timing, a score, or a positive review.
03
The business does not edit the verdict
A business may correct a factual detail before or after publication. It may not approve the opinion, rewrite Dennis’s experience, or purchase a rating. Invitations and advertising conversations remain separate from the review conclusion.
04
Source links stay attached
Entries imported from Dennis’s public Google Maps or Yelp record link back to the original profile. Direct field notes are identified as first-party Myers on the Map entries. The archive does not present an editorial summary as a quotation.
05
Corrections are welcome
Send a specific correction to dennis@myersonthemap.com with the page URL and supporting detail. A factual correction may change the record. A disagreement with the verdict will be heard, but it does not automatically change the opinion.
06
Dennis owns the words and verdict
Software may format pages, remove duplicate imports, publish feeds, or flag missing fields. It does not invent a visit, assign a score, or replace Dennis’s judgment. When a page contains Dennis’s direct field note, the opinion is his.
