Review of revision 1359562 [Passed][edit]

Recount[edit]

This isn't a suitable subject for a correction, because we did not make any mistake in reporting.

I suggest an {{update}} reference to our later article that mentioned the fact that a recount indicated a different result. I'll try that, to see how it looks. --Pi zero (talk) 19:19, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've proposed something; it's placed where one would put {{update}}, and does not add the page to Category:Corrected articles (which I maintain this does not belong in since we made no error), but does use {{correction}} for its attention-getting red color. --Pi zero (talk) 19:31, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
On further consideration, I think my addition is in itself not controversial — we might want to do more, but I don't see anyone objecting strenuously to at least that much — so (given its mild pseudo-content is a subset of such previously proposed) I've self-sighted it. --Pi zero (talk) 19:36, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Also: If folks think the note would work better at the top of the page, I would not object to that (since it calls itself a "Note" rather than a "Correction", and does not categorize the article). --Pi zero (talk) 19:55, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
