Corrections policy

A correction starts with a specific statement and evidence that it is wrong or misleading. Identify the page, the sentence or table entry, and the source that contradicts it. Include the date and product version where they affect the issue.

Check the claim, not just the wording

We compare the challenged statement with its sources. A missing plan restriction may require a factual correction even when the sentence sounds reasonable. An opinion difference may call for clearer attribution rather than a factual withdrawal. The decision should follow the evidence.

Keep material changes visible

A corrected page should explain a material change where readers need that context. Editorial working records retain the revision history. An unavailable corrections database does not establish that no errors or changes exist.

The earlier site included rankings and independent-testing claims without verified test records. Those statements were withdrawn. We keep documentation review, contributor experience and actual testing separate to avoid repeating that problem.

Review and publication are separate

A new draft does not automatically replace an approved published revision. Corrections affecting a material claim require evidence review and an exact-revision decision. A serious known factual problem may require withholding the affected claim rather than waiting for a routine rewrite.

Read the methodology for the evidence distinctions. The current review site does not accept a correction through a live submission form.
