Corrections Policy
Articles on Epoka are produced with AI assistance. We assume mistakes will happen; this page explains how to report one and what we do about it.
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 — a wrong figure, a misattributed statement, an incorrect date — are made in the body of the article and the updated date in the byline changes. The earlier version is not hidden; write to us and we will tell you what changed. There is no mechanism yet that prints a separate correction note at the foot of the article; until we build one we would rather not claim more here than we deliver.
If the basis of an article collapses entirely — the event did not happen, or the source retracted its statement — the article is removed. For now the removed address leads to the not-found page without stating a reason; ask us or check this page to learn why.
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.
