Editor checklist

These notes introduce Sturgis as a distinct source rather than a vague synonym for standard procedure.

They are a reference entry point for learners who need orientation before deeper work.

• Sturgis versus AIPSC confusion

  Usually in your main path

  Teach Sturgis as its own authority while acknowledging comparative study overlap.

  Also check

  Learners may merge Sturgis, Standard Code, and other concise authorities carelessly.

  If you teach the wrong version

  They cite names without understanding the source behind them.

  Suggested action

  Keep the source label and use context explicit.

This page does not replace your organization's governing documents or adopted authority. Add dated citations in your local editor log when you confirm a source.
