Accuracy and accountability
Corrections policy
If something published here is wrong or materially misleading, please report it. Every credible correction is checked against the article and its sources.
How to report an error
Email [email protected] with the article URL, the statement you believe is wrong, and a reliable source or explanation supporting the correction. You can also report a broken source link, misleading headline, attribution problem or undisclosed conflict.
How reports are reviewed
- The published wording and available version history are checked.
- Primary evidence is preferred over summaries or social posts.
- The author or responsible publisher is asked for context when necessary.
- The article is corrected, clarified or left unchanged according to the evidence.
The aim is to acknowledge a credible report promptly and complete straightforward reviews within five working days. Complex or disputed evidence can take longer.
How changes are shown
- A substantive factual error is corrected in the article and accompanied by a note explaining the material change.
- A clarification that does not make the original statement false may be labelled as an update or clarification.
- Minor spelling, grammar, formatting and broken-link fixes may be made without a correction note when they do not change the meaning.
- An article may be withdrawn when it cannot be corrected responsibly. The original URL should retain an explanation rather than disappearing without context.
Material updates also change the article's last-updated time. The original visible publication time remains separate.
