Corrections, Retractions, and Takedown
Arbor Hills Monitor is built on the principle that every factual claim is traceable to a primary source and survives scrutiny. When we make an error, we correct it promptly, visibly, and on the record.
This page has two purposes:
- A place to request a correction or retraction of published content.
- A place to request removal or amendment of content that identifies you.
Part 1: Corrections and Retractions
How to request a correction
If you believe a specific piece of content on this site contains a factual error -- a wrong number, an incorrect date, a mischaracterized regulatory record, or a mislabeled document -- please contact us at [email protected].
Please include:
- The URL of the page containing the alleged error.
- The specific claim you believe is incorrect.
- The primary source or evidence you believe contradicts it.
We will review the request against the primary sources cited on the page. If the error is confirmed, we will correct it and note the correction publicly in the log below. If the primary source supports the original claim, we will explain why and keep the content as published. We aim to respond to correction requests within one month.
Corrections log
Substantive corrections to published content are documented here with: the date of the original publication, the date of the correction, a description of what changed, and the reason. This log is maintained as a public record.
| Date published | Date corrected | Page | What was corrected | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|---|
The public corrections log above is the site's public record of substantive corrections. A more detailed internal revision history (including minor clarifications and source updates) is kept in the project's private workspace and is not published; it is available to counsel or the insurance carrier on request.
Retractions
If a claim was materially false at the time it was published and is not correctable by clarification, we will retract it. A retraction notice will remain on the page noting that specific content was retracted and the date, rather than silently removing the text.
Accuracy is judged as of the publication date
Each article and page reflects the records and information available on the date it was published. Later events, new filings, or changed circumstances do not make earlier content false, and we do not update past articles as circumstances change. Corrections and retractions are for content that was wrong when it was published. We may, at our discretion, add a dated update note pointing to newer information.
Michigan MCL 600.2911 notice
Under Michigan law (MCL 600.2911), a defendant in a defamation action may limit damages by publishing a correction or retraction in response to a request. By maintaining this correction mechanism and responding in good faith to correction requests, this site preserves that statutory protection. A request for retraction directed to us using this page constitutes notice under MCL 600.2911. We will respond to any such request within the statutory period.
This is not legal advice; consult counsel for specific guidance on Michigan defamation law.
Part 2: Takedown and Removal Requests
If you are a person, company, or other entity identified on this site and you believe that specific content should be removed or amended, you may contact us using the process below.
We take removal requests seriously. Content that accurately reports government regulatory records and factual public information will generally be maintained; content that is inaccurate, misleading, or an unjustified privacy intrusion may be removed or amended.
How to make a removal or amendment request
Contact us at [email protected] with the following:
- Your name and contact information.
- The URL of the page containing the content at issue.
- A description of the specific content you are requesting be removed or amended.
- Your basis for the request (e.g., factual inaccuracy, privacy, legal rights asserted).
- Any supporting documentation or primary sources.
We will acknowledge receipt and respond within one month. For complex requests, we may need additional time. We will not remove content solely because it is unflattering to the subject -- our standard is accuracy and fairness, not comfort.
Rights holders
If you believe content on this site infringes your copyright or other intellectual-property rights, see also our IP, Fair Use, and Provenance page. For urgent IP infringement claims, contact us at the same address and state clearly that you are making an IP rights claim.
Contact
We will keep a record of all requests received and our responses. Requests we cannot act on -- because the content is accurate and from a primary source -- will be noted with an explanation.
