Corrections
When we get something wrong, we fix it — and we record the fix here.
Our correction policy
Every article on Commoner Law is researched against primary sources — statutes, regulations, and official government guidance. If we cite a wrong section, misstate a deadline, or describe an outdated rule, we want to hear about it. Email [email protected] with a link to the affected page and the source we should be citing instead.
When we correct an error, we update the underlying page and record the change on this log. We do not delete old entries — if a correction itself turns out to be wrong, we add a new entry that supersedes it. Past versions of the site can be reconstructed from the project's commit history.
Corrections log
No corrections to date. When the first one lands, it will appear here. If you've spotted something that belongs in this log, tell us.
What we don't change without recording
- A statute citation that we've updated to point at a newer code section.
- A dollar amount, deadline, or eligibility threshold that has changed in the law.
- An agency name or URL we previously cited that has moved.
- Anything a reader would consider a substantive correction, not a typo or style fix.
Typos, spelling, formatting, and link reordering happen silently — corrections in this log are factual changes only.
