Corrections

We make mistakes. When that happens, we correct them in the open and we keep the record. This page describes how the corrections process works and lists every correction the site has issued.

How to report an error

  1. 1. Find the page or post that contains the error and copy its URL.
  2. 2. Note what the page says and what you believe should be there instead. If you have a Tier 1 or Tier 2 source for the correct version, include the link.
  3. 3. Send the report through the channels on the Contact page.

Review workflow

  1. 1. An editor opens the cited source and verifies whether the page is wrong.
  2. 2. If a correction is warranted, the page is updated in place. A dated correction block appears at the top of the post describing what changed and why.
  3. 3. The original URL keeps working. We do not silently delete posts.
  4. 4. If the error appeared in social, newsletter, or push, a follow-up correction is issued in that channel.
  5. 5. The correction is appended to the log on this page.

What gets corrected

  • • Factual errors — wrong number, wrong date, wrong publisher, misattributed quote.
  • • Outdated figures where the cited source has since published a different number; the page is updated to match the current source and a correction note records the prior version.
  • • Misclassified source tier (e.g. a Tier 2 source incorrectly used as Tier 1).
  • • Spelling and grammar errors. These get quietly fixed and not logged unless they materially change meaning.

How freshness will be tracked (later phases)

Each post carries an updated_at date. Each cited source carries a source_reviewed_at date. When the project's editorial pipeline goes live, these dates drive a dashboard so the editorial team can see at a glance which pages have not been reviewed against their cited sources recently. A page whose cited source has since changed is flagged for review.
