Corrections Policy

How to report an error

If you see incorrect information in an article, write to the contact address. Give the article URL and the sentence you believe is wrong; you do not need to supply reasoning or sources, though either speeds things up.

Reports are read individually. There is no automated form or ticket system — the site is run by one person and writing directly is faster.

How quickly you will hear back

We aim to assess reports within 48 hours. Where the error is clear the correction is made the same day; cases needing source verification can take longer.

You get a reply even when the assessment finds no error. No report is left unanswered.

How corrections are made

Minor fixes — typos, formatting, broken links — are made silently. They do not change what the article says.

Corrections at the level of information are made with a note: a wrong figure, a misattributed statement, an incorrect date. In those cases a line at the foot of the article records what was corrected and when. The earlier version is not hidden.

If the basis of an article collapses entirely — the event did not happen, or the source retracted its statement — the article is removed and replaced with the reason for removal.

What AI-assisted production means

Every article carries a note that it was produced with AI assistance. That does not mean nobody looked at it: topic selection, source verification and the decision to publish rest with a person.

This method of production nevertheless has its own failure modes: a detail entering the text that was not in the source, two separate events blending into one, figures transcribed wrongly. That is exactly why this page exists.

Sources

Every article lists the sources it rests on, by name and with a link. An article without a source list is not published.

If the source itself is wrong, the correction is still ours to make: if the information we passed on is incorrect, where we got it does not matter.
