Sources and corrections

Checked
Jul 29 2026

The short answer

Every page on this site lists the sources read to write it, with the date each was checked, and every statute or opinion quotation links to the exact copy that was read. If something here is wrong, a correction is the fastest way to make the record better, and corrections are dated and kept rather than quietly edited away.

Checked against the sources named below on July 29, 2026.

Where sources appear

At the foot of every page, under "Sources read", with the citation and the date. Inside the page, a quoted statute or opinion carries its citation and a link to the copy that was read. When that copy was an allowlisted mirror rather than the official text, the quotation says so in gold with a diamond mark.

How to correct something

Send it to corrections@mineralrightsatlas.com. That address is read by a person, not a form.

The useful correction names three things: the page, the sentence, and the source that contradicts it. That third one is what makes a correction actionable, because this site cannot replace one unsourced sentence with another.

Corrections that hold up are made to the underlying data, which means they propagate to every page that renders that fact rather than to the one page somebody complained about. The change is dated and appears in the state's change log and in the monthly briefing.

What will not be changed on request

Accurate statements of what a public source says, including ones that are inconvenient for a company operating in this market. If a source is being quoted incorrectly or out of date, that is a correction and it will be made promptly. If the source itself is disagreeable, that is a matter for the legislature.

Reuse

Quote the pages, cite them, link them. Statutory text quoted here is public. The compilation, the dated verification record and the map are this site's work, and a link back is how that gets credited.
