Corrections

QuickResponseCode.us is a public reference. Where a page is wrong, missing a citation, or out of date, the correction is invited, recorded, and resolved against the editorial charter and the standards that govern the Quick Response Code.

What to submit

  • Factual corrections. Any statement on the site that is inaccurate when measured against ISO/IEC 18004, JIS X 0510, AIM BC11, GS1 QR, or the originating organizations named in the editorial charter.
  • Citation requests. Where a claim is correct but unsupported, and a published source exists.
  • Historical clarifications. Dates, attributions, standardization milestones, and named originators.
  • Terminology disputes. Use of the phrase Quick Response Code, the short form QR Code, or any of the seven ecosystem layer names.

How submissions are handled

Every submission is acknowledged, logged, and classified under the operator playbook at /reference/operator-playbook. Editorial corrections are applied directly. Substantive corrections are accepted with the affected page updated and the review date refreshed; declined with reasoning recorded; or deferred pending a cited source. Contested corrections are resolved by reference to the relevant standard or originating organization.

What does not change in response to corrections

The canonical phrase, the editorial charter, the ecosystem layer names, and the governance ladder are stable. Corrections refine the content of pages; they do not rename the layers or rewrite the charter. Proposed structural changes follow the structural-change procedure in the operator playbook.

How to submit a correction

Send corrections through the contact channel at /contact. Include the URL of the page, a clear statement of the correction requested, and — where possible — the published source that supports it. Anonymous submissions are accepted and treated under the same procedure.

Acknowledgement

Submissions are acknowledged within a reasonable period. Editorial corrections are typically resolved within days. Substantive corrections, particularly those requiring verification against a published standard, may take longer. The corrections log is maintained by the named maintainer recorded in the editorial stamp on every page.

What is out of scope

This channel does not resolve disputes about the Quick Response Code standard itself. Such disputes belong with ISO/IEC, JIS, AIM, GS1, and the originating organizations. QuickResponseCode.us is the custodian of a reference about the symbology, not of the symbology itself.
