Findings open
The page stays live with its badge showing an open finding. It is reviewed again once the open item is addressed.
How this review ran
Recorded after the fact. The findings were reconstructed later by comparing the page's text, so the reviewer's original reasoning and the model used were not kept.
What this review does not do
It does not check every claim against its cited source, and a clean result is not a guarantee that the page is correct. Readers can report a problem on any page.
