WNU Editor: The National Archives is saying the warning was not connected to any specific document but was instead provided as a blanket statement regarding potentially harmful language in any document (see below).

I have been involved in a number of web projects over the years, and even I know you don’t have to have a *blanket* warning over *every* record. And if your designer/programmer says that’s the only solution you need, my recommendation is that you fire that contractor.

This alert is not connected to any specific records, but appears at the top of the page while you are using the online Catalog (https://t.co/dwGmbXhjFP).
