Version history

Every published version of this article, newest first. Versions are append-only: a correction adds a row, it never rewrites history. Each version below states what changed against the version before it — which fields moved, and which body lines were added or removed.

The content hash is a SHA-256 fingerprint of that version's stored headline and body, computed when the version was written. Two versions with the same hash hold identical text; a changed hash proves the text moved. It is the tamper-evidence check — recompute it against an exported copy of a version and any silent edit shows up as a mismatch.

How we verify a hash — and how you can

Canonicalization: the hashed bytes are the version's stored headline, then the two characters ||, then the version's stored body markdown — UTF-8, SHA-256, lowercase hex. Nothing else is in the input: no normalization, re-wrapping or rendering is applied first, no trailing newline is added, and no other field (including the parent version's id) is mixed in.

Export a version's stored headline and body, join them with the two characters ||, and take the SHA-256 of the UTF-8 bytes. It must equal the hash printed beside that version. In a shell: 

printf '%s' "HEADLINE||BODY" | shasum -a 256

    Headline at this version: Watertown's calendar lists "City Council Work Session" for August 25, 2026

    Removed (8 lines )

    • The city of Watertown lists [**City Council Work Session**](https://www.watertownsd.us/Calendar.aspx?EID=2857) for August 18, 2026 on its public calendar, with the location given as 20 N. MapleWatertown, SD 57201.
    • The city files this entry on its Council, Boards, & Committees calendar.
    • The calendar gives the time as 03:00 PM - 04:00 PM, exactly as published. The feed does not name a time zone for that clock. South Dakota spans both the Central and Mountain zones, so the time above is reproduced exactly as the city published it and is not converted.
    • 605Buzz has not independently confirmed that this event will take place, and this article records only that the city's calendar lists it. It is not a record of anything that happened, and no outcome, vote or decision is implied.
    • Agendas are amended and meetings are cancelled or rescheduled, and the city's feed publishes no field for either — so 605Buzz cannot report a cancellation the city has not stated. Check [the city's own page](https://www.watertownsd.us/Calendar.aspx?EID=2857) before relying on anything here.
    • This article was assembled from [the city of Watertown's public meeting feeds](https://www.watertownsd.us/AgendaCenter). See the [corrections ledger](/corrections) if a field is wrong.
