Help Me

Glossary

If we show a concert or a lecture, we say who published it, and we send you there. Credit is not optional.

Short answer

Event attribution means Help Me shows the source that published each event and links to the official page. Events come from a fixed list: NDSU, MSUM, Concordia College, M State, West Fargo, and Ticketmaster Fargo. Help Me does not invent events, strip the credit, or claim to be affiliated with a source.

The facts, in one place

  • Six fixed sources.
  • Every event links to the official page.
  • If a feed is empty, the app says so.
  • Attribution is not affiliation or endorsement.

What it looks like

A listing from Concordia still says Concordia. A West Fargo community event still points to westfargo.org. Ticketmaster Fargo is labeled as Ticketmaster. The importer reads a fixed list of official feeds, not whatever ranked in a search.

Showing nothing is allowed

If a source is empty or down, the app says so. Filling the screen with a made-up game would be easier, and it would also be a lie. Attribution includes the right to show nothing.

Why it matters

Because events in the app can sound like Help Me is the organizer. It is not. Tickets, cancellations, and the last word live on the official page, so always open it. Showing a source is not affiliation or endorsement. Helpers can apply to be reviewed by our team. Help Me does not run background checks.

Help Me is not an emergency service. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911 or your local emergency number.

Questions people actually ask

No. It lists events from other sources and links back. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by them.

No. Publish it on the official campus or city calendar and Help Me will pick it up from that source.

Open the official link. The source has the last word on time and place.

Help Me is a community app for adults in Fargo–Moorhead. It is not a K–12 student program, not a youth chat, and not campus police.
