Public accountability
Material changes belong in a public record. Routine source refreshes and editorial corrections are logged separately so activity is not mistaken for error.
WHAT APPEARS HERE
A material correction changes a factual claim, number, attribution, source interpretation or methodological description in a way that could affect a reader’s understanding. Each entry will identify the affected page, previous wording or method, corrected version, date and supporting source.
PUBLIC LOG
Added explicit dataset version, acquisition and validation rules, normalization boundaries, inline evidence citations and a defined correction protocol. No prior factual claim was reversed.
Include the page URL, the disputed sentence or field and a primary source that supports the requested change.
