can i edit a post after being published

i know my posts are being supervised by moderators but my question is : what happens if i made a mistake and i want to correct the error?
Others likely have more detailed information available, but here's what I understand: You have some amount of time (perhaps on the order of a couple/few days) when you can edit your own post and make changes to the content. After that, you can send a PM (Private Message) to any moderator/administrator and request that your post be modified. In the latter case, we'll try to accommodate requests. However, there have been cases when we have declined to delete a post that had several replies, because deleting the post would have left the replies lacking a foundation. Similarly, a wholesale rewrite of a post might also be declined.
If you do edit your post, it can be helpful to append a note that you edited it, with a brief description of what you changed (fixed a typo or spelling error, corrected a miss-typed number, etc.) so that someone who read the post before isn't left puzzling that they thought the post said something different when they had read it a day or two earlier.
