Corrections

What this is

Every correction this site has made to its own published records, with the primary source that proved it. The count on this page is derived from the database rows below — never asserted separately. If a number on this page and the rows disagree, the rows win.

How corrections happen. Material claims are checked against the strongest appropriate evidence available for that claim type. Legal-status claims require the controlling Vietnamese instrument where available. Procedure claims require current official forms, guidance or channel material. Operating-status claims require dated public evidence of actual availability or use. Market and entity claims require attributable records suitable to the proposition. Interview and first-hand observations are labelled as such and do not establish legal status by themselves.

Corrections record the date, affected claim, corrected wording, evidence supporting the change and any remaining uncertainty. A correction to a public claim and the evidence needed to evaluate it are not paywalled. Silent rewrites are prohibited.

Found an error? Write to contact@oronculzac.com with the page and the passage. Corrections that reach this log earn their row the day they are applied.
