Corrections & Updates

Accurate source attribution matters. If an article misstates information from a primary source, omits important context, uses an unrelated image, repeats another article or links to the wrong report, we want to know.

How to report a concern

Visit our Contact page to find our currently available feedback channels. When reporting a concern, include the article link, the specific issue and, where possible, a reliable source establishing the correction.

How corrections should appear

Substantive corrections should be reflected in the article itself, with a dated note explaining the change. Minor spelling or formatting edits need not carry a separate note. When an article is duplicated or lacks usable reporting, it may be consolidated or withdrawn; when an image is misleading or insufficiently licensed, it may be removed.
