Wait, by the end of September or by the end of August?

@beth - thanks for picking this up! The best way to get a category editor's attention to a problem like this is to 'flag for review' - the little icon next to the market graph. Bear in mind that you can only flag a market once.

I've fixed up the error - judging by the suspend date and the title, the question obviously meant by the end of September, so I've edited the conflicting information in the background info.

@geoff - Initially said August in the background info, but no probs, we all missed it too, apparently!
