We have not read the wording of this notice, so we cannot tell you whether it has been edited.
This site re-reads the most recent American campaigns every few hours and keeps every version. Campaign 21V00D000 sits outside that set, so there is no earlier version here to compare against. We would rather say that than imply a check we did not make.
