Corrections Policy
Errors are corrected openly, promptly and across every language we publish in.
Transparency
Corrections are never made silently. A corrected article carries a dated correction note describing what was wrong and what changed.
Across localizations
A correction applies to every localized version of the affected article. The correction record lists the locales it has been applied to, so a reader in any edition sees the same corrected record.
Severity
Minor typographical fixes are made without a note. Any change to a fact, figure, name, attribution or characterization is logged as a correction.
Where an error was materially misleading, the correction is surfaced at the top of the article.
Requesting a correction
Correction and right-of-reply requests are reviewed by the relevant desk and the Verification Desk. A verified editorial contact address has not been published yet; it appears here once established.
