When we get something wrong, we want to fix it clearly.
Readers, subject-matter experts and editors can flag factual errors, outdated information, broken citations or wording that could mislead.
Last updated: September 16, 2026
What we correct
We correct meaningful factual errors, material omissions, inaccurate statistics, misleading health claims, incorrect links and other issues that could materially affect a reader’s understanding.
Minor edits
Spelling, formatting, grammar and non-substantive clarity edits may be fixed without a formal correction note.
Material corrections
When a change substantially alters the meaning of an article or corrects an important health or safety fact, an update or correction note may be added when appropriate.
How to report an issue
Send the article URL, the statement you believe is incorrect, your suggested correction and, when possible, a reliable supporting source.
Review process
Reports should be evaluated against appropriate source material. We do not promise to accept every requested change, but credible reports should be reviewed in good faith.
Retractions
If a page is fundamentally unreliable or unsafe and cannot be responsibly corrected, we may substantially rewrite, unpublish or redirect it.
Correction requests can be sent through the Contact page or the email listed below.
