Corrections

Mistakes happen, and when they do we want to know. If you spot an error, wrong name, incorrect date, broken link, mangled fact, email us through the contact page with the URL and a short explanation of what needs fixing.

Small errors get corrected quietly. A misspelled district name or a transposed digit in a budget figure will be fixed in place without fanfare. The goal is accuracy, not a paper trail for typos.

Substantial corrections get a note. If we misidentified a minister, reversed a policy outcome, or got a timeline wrong in a way that changes the meaning, we add a dated correction at the top or bottom of the article explaining what was wrong and what is now correct.

Archived articles are trickier. They were published years ago, often by writers no longer on staff, and they reflect what was known or believed at the time. If an archive piece contains an error that misleads today's reader, we will add a bracketed note in context rather than rewrite history.

We do not delete articles to cover mistakes. If something was wrong enough to require unpublishing, we leave a stub explaining what was removed and why. That has not happened yet, and we hope it stays that way.

Corrections are not arguments. If you disagree with a characterization or an interpretation, that is fair, but it is not the same as a factual error. We are happy to hear alternative views, and sometimes they will inform a new piece, but we will not revise an article just because someone wishes it had been framed differently.

The fastest way to reach us is through the contact form. Include the URL, quote the sentence or paragraph in question, and tell us what you think is wrong. We review every submission, and if the fix is straightforward we will make it within a few days.

Thank you for reading closely enough to notice when something is off. Corrections make the site better, and we appreciate the time it takes to send them.
