Corrections and updates

Our corrections policy

Every article is reviewed before publication. Despite this, mistakes can happen (wrong number, incorrect attribution, missing context). When they do, we apply 3 principles:

1. Transparency — every substantive correction is disclosed publicly on this page and noted at the top of the affected article.
2. Speed — we correct as soon as the error is confirmed, ideally within 24 hours.
3. Integrity — we never silently delete a faulty passage. Either the article is corrected with a note, or it is withdrawn entirely with an explanation.

Types of corrections we disclose

• Factual error — incorrect number, misspelled name, wrong date, misattributed quote.
• Substantial error — misinterpretation of an event, missing context that changes the meaning of the article.
• Update — addition of new information after initial publication, reaction from a concerned party.

We don't disclose simple typographical fixes (spelling, punctuation) that don't affect meaning.
