We would rather be corrected than be quietly wrong. This page explains how we handle mistakes and how to tell us about one.
Report an error
If something on this site is inaccurate, out of date, or misleading, tell us through the contact page. The more specific you can be — the article, the sentence, and what you believe the correct information is — the faster we can check it.
We read every report. We verify against primary sources before changing anything, which means a response is not always immediate.
What we do about it
How we respond depends on what changed:
- Correction. A fact, figure, name, date, or claim was wrong. We fix it and add a dated correction note to the article explaining what was wrong and what it now says.
- Update. The article was accurate when published, but the world moved — a price changed, a policy was revised, a feature shipped. We update the article, change the visible Updated date, and note the change where it matters to the reader's understanding.
- Clarification. The facts were right but the wording invited a wrong reading. We rewrite for clarity and say that we did.
- Retraction. If a piece's central claim does not survive checking, we retract it and say so plainly, rather than deleting it silently.
What we do not do
We do not silently rewrite published claims. We do not remove an article to make an error disappear. We do not change a conclusion because a commercial partner asked us to — see our editorial policy for how that separation works.
Routine copy edits — a typo, a broken link, a formatting fix — do not get a correction notice, because nothing a reader relied on has changed.
Correction log
No corrections have been issued to date. When one is, it will be recorded here with the date, the article, and what changed.
Why this page exists
A publication that never admits a mistake is not careful — it is just not telling you. Keeping this page public, even while it is empty, is the point.
