Records amendment · procedure C-01
How the Bureau fixes factual errors, labels changed information, preserves material amendment notes, and keeps fictional casework distinct from real-world claims.
Scope test
The Bureau corrects verifiable real-world claims. It does not relabel an obviously fictional case number merely because no actual department issued it.
Classification standard
Visibility follows consequence. The larger the effect on trust or reader action, the more prominent the correction record.
Level C-01 · material
Examples include an undisclosed commercial relationship, a false experience claim, the wrong recommendation, a privacy issue, or a central factual error. Correct the page and add a clear dated notice explaining what changed.
Level C-02 · substantive
Examples include an incorrect attribution, meaningful specification, link destination, or supporting detail. Correct the text and add a note when the original could have affected understanding.
Level C-03 · routine
Spelling, punctuation, formatting, and non-substantive clarity edits may be corrected without a public note. They must not be used to conceal a material change.
Procedure C-05
A correction is checked against the page, its sources, and any commercial or social versions before a notice is filed.
Step 01
Identify the URL, exact passage or asset, and the date it was observed.
Step 02
Compare the disputed detail with primary or otherwise reliable evidence.
Step 03
Choose material, substantive, routine, or update based on reader impact.
Step 04
Correct the page and any controlled excerpt, metadata, pin, or product copy carrying the same error.
Step 05
Add a dated note when required and preserve enough context to understand the change.
The notice names the correction date, describes the original problem without repeating harmful material unnecessarily, supplies the corrected information, and identifies the evidence used. An update caused by a later change is labelled Updated, not Corrected.
Reporting packet
A monitored public Records Desk is not active yet. This page documents the packet now so the eventual route can begin with usable evidence.
The site does not yet publish a monitored contact address, so it cannot responsibly promise receipt or a response time. A reporting route will be added only after the address, handling responsibility, and privacy terms are verified.
Research basis
The procedure follows the general accountability principle that mistakes should be acknowledged and corrected promptly and prominently.
