Corrections

When I get something wrong.

Errors get fixed. Material ones also get a dated note at the top of the article saying what changed, and they’re listed below.

How it works

Minor edits. Typos, grammar, broken links and formatting get fixed without a note when they don’t change meaning.

Material corrections. An error that changes a factual claim, an interpretation or a conclusion gets a dated note at the top of the article and a row in the log above.

Updates. New evidence or changed circumstances are labelled as updates rather than passed off as part of the original.

Disputes. A challenged claim gets checked against its source within 48 hours. Disagreement alone won’t get a passage removed, but a better source or a real error always gets a response.

See you Sunday.
