 +**RTI Wiki aims to be the most accurate RTI reference on the Indian internet.** If something is wrong — an outdated fee, a superseded case citation, a stale portal URL, a typo — we want to hear from you. Most corrections are acknowledged in a day and fixed within 48 hours.

 +To: admin@bighelpers.in
 +Subject: RTI Wiki Correction — [page slug, e.g. file-rti-in-maharashtra]
 +
 +Page URL: https://righttoinformation.wiki/[slug]
 +
 +Section / paragraph: [short quote or heading name]
 +
 +What is wrong:

 +
 +What is the correct information:

 +  Role:       ________  (PIO / FAA / citizen / journalist / advocate / other)
 +  Email:      ________  (for follow-up; not published)
 +
 +Thank you.
 +</code>
 +
 +===== What we do with your correction =====
 +
 +  - **Acknowledge within 24 hours** — an editor picks up the email and opens a review ticket.
 +  - **Verify within 48 hours** — we check the source you cited; if it holds, we update the page.
 +  - **Publish** — your correction goes live and the page footer records a new //Last reviewed// date.
 +  - **Credit (optional)** — if you give us your name and role, we note the contribution in our changelog.
 +  - **Follow-up** — if there is ambiguity, we email back with a clarifying question.
 +
 +===== What qualifies as a correction =====
 +
 +  * **Factual errors** — wrong fee, wrong portal URL, wrong SIC address, wrong case citation.
 +  * **Stale / superseded content** — a case overturned, a rule amended, a scheme guideline replaced.
 +  * **Formatting / typo fixes** — we accept these gratefully, even if minor.
 +  * **Dead internal links** — broken wiki links, missing cross-references.
 +  * **Outdated deep links** — where a linked internal page has moved.
 +
 +===== What is not a correction (but still welcome) =====
 +
 +  * **Feedback or suggestions** — for new articles, features, or a different perspective on an issue. Send it to the same address; we triage.
 +  * **Specific legal-advice requests** — we do not provide personalised legal advice; please consult a qualified advocate. You can find generic guidance at [[:faq|our FAQ]] and [[:explanations|explanations]].
 +  * **Complaints about a public authority** — not our jurisdiction; please use the [[:file-rti-online-india|RTI filing process]] and, if necessary, the [[:faa-first-appeal-timelines|appeal route]].
 +
 +===== Why we take corrections seriously =====
 +
 +RTI Wiki is used by citizens filing their first RTI, by PIOs training in their role, and by First Appellate Authorities writing orders. A wrong fee rate, a stale case citation, a superseded rule — each of these can cause a citizen to miss a deadline or a PIO to sign an appealable order.
 +
 +Our commitment is simple: **we would rather be slower and right than fast and wrong**. Your correction keeps us honest.
