Corrections
This page lists every correction made to coverage on this site since publication. We log corrections transparently and prominently. We do not silently revise published articles to obscure prior errors.
If you have identified an error in our coverage, please contact us at the address below. We respond to all error reports within seven days. Corrections are made promptly upon verification of the error, and the original article is updated with a "Last reviewed" stamp reflecting the date of the correction.
Standards
We log corrections at three levels of severity:
Substantive corrections are corrections to the factual basis of an article — for example, a misidentified document, a misattributed statement, an incorrect date that materially affects the article's argument, or a quotation we have rendered incorrectly. Substantive corrections are logged here with full detail and the original article is updated with an inline notation marking the corrected text.
Minor corrections are corrections to incidental factual details that do not affect the article's argument — for example, a misspelled name, an incorrect URL, or a typographical error in a numeric figure. Minor corrections are logged here without inline article notation.
Stylistic corrections are corrections to phrasing, formatting, or copyediting that do not change meaning. We do not log stylistic corrections; the published version is the version on the site.
Contact for corrections
When reporting an error, please include:
- The article in which the error appears (URL or title);
- The specific text or claim you believe is incorrect;
- The basis for your correction (what should the text say, and why);
- Where applicable, a citation or document that supports the correction.
We act on every error report. We do not require that an error report come from a named party in the article — we welcome corrections from any reader.
Corrections log
No corrections have been logged at the time of this page's publication. This section will be populated as corrections are made. Each entry includes: date of correction, article corrected, summary of the original error, and the corrected text.
Format of future entries
Corrections will be logged in the following format:
[Date of correction] — Article title ([link]).
Original text: [the incorrect text as published, with sufficient context to identify it].
Corrected text: [the corrected text, as now appearing in the article].
Basis for correction: [the source or argument supporting the correction; the party who reported the error, if known and consenting to attribution; any other relevant context].
This format is intended to allow readers to assess the substance and severity of corrections at a glance. We commit to maintaining this format consistently across all corrections, regardless of severity.
Why we log corrections this way
Transparent corrections are a load-bearing part of our editorial credibility. The choice not to silently revise published articles is intentional. The choice to publish a fresh "Last reviewed" stamp on every corrected article is intentional. The choice to maintain this log indefinitely is intentional.
Errors will occur. The standard we hold ourselves to is not the absence of errors but the prompt, transparent, and complete correction of any error identified.
