Corrections policy

We get things wrong sometimes. When we do, we fix them in the open.

How to report an error

Tell us the article, the specific claim, and what you believe the correct position is. Please include a source if you have one.

What we do

We check the claim against the original source. If we were wrong, we amend the article, add a dated correction note at the foot of it explaining what changed, and update the modified date. We do not quietly edit an article to erase a mistake.

Takedowns

We do not remove accurate published articles on request. We will correct inaccuracies, and we will consider removal where publication would cause demonstrable harm.
