Why this is better
Verified both corrections are present in the body text and bibliography: the fabricated 'Operation Marco Polo' codename is gone, and Operation Onymous is correctly described as seizing hundreds of .onion services while arresting seventeen people. The FAQ field's mention of Operation Onymous is also already correct (no stale figures). No changes needed.
How this record is verified
- The contribution is tied to a real, identified contributor, not an anonymous byline.
- It counts only because the publisher, When Notes Fly, accepted it. Self-claimed work earns nothing.
- It is recorded against a specific page and cannot be bought or edited after the fact.
