How I’m Editing My JSI Posts
Getting it right is important. A few days ago I posted on LinkedIn to ask anyone with concerns about my JSI posts to reach out so that they can be addressed:
Please forgive the typos, but did I get any of the facts wrong?
I'm spending a ton of time fact-checking and making sure my posts about JSI reflect what actually happened. If I don't have both a clear memory of what happened and documentation to back it up, I leave it out. As a result, each post is taking three or four times longer than it would have; I'm making a ton of typos, and I have only shared a small portion of my documentation.
I have also included a disclaimer at the bottom of each blog post that reads: This blog post reflects my personal experiences and opinions. It is based on my recollection of events and the information available to me at the time of writing. While I strive for accuracy, if any individual or organization believes a factual statement is incorrect, I welcome the opportunity to address and, if necessary, correct the record. Please contact me directly with any concerns, and I will promptly review and consider corrections in good faith.
I will repeat that here on LinkedIn: if you see a mistake; feel that I’ve voiced an unfair or harmful opinion; or have any general concerns about what I have shared, please reach out via LinkedIn messages or the contact form on my website so that I can review and make appropriate corrections.
The post also included a link to my contact form. My first aim in putting this on my website is to ensure that anyone who did not see the LinkedIn post referenced above will see it and understand that my invitation still stands to contact me with any concerns about the content of these posts.
My second aim is to be transparent about how posts are edited after they are published. Minor edits that do not alter the meaning of a post—such as typographical corrections or formatting adjustments—are made without notice. Any substantive changes, including factual corrections or content updates, will be clearly indicated within the text and accompanied by a date-stamped note providing context or an explanation of the corrections.
As of March 14, I have not made any substantive changes to what I have posted (although I have fixed typos and updated formatting), and have not received any corrections or feedback in response to the requests outlined above. The offer still stands, though, and I remain willing to respond quickly to any and all feedback.
