- Correction: a note on source-usage counts gave the wrong start date
- what was wrong
- A note attached to fifteen source records said that typed retrieval states, from which usage counts are derived, begin on 31 October 2026.
- what is true
- Typed states begin on 29 October and the derived counts cover all of them. The counts were right and the note was wrong.
- what changed
- A dated correction is appended to each of the fifteen records.
- what did not change
- No count, rating, Outlook or Watch. The derivation itself was correct.
- control analysis
- The note was written by hand beside a derived figure and was not checked against it. A disagreement between the figure and the stated date exposed it.
- found by
- An outside reader of a draft of Issue No. 46, verified by CHQ.
