Corrections Policy

Corrections are part of the archive's public-interest duty. If a page contains a factual error, broken source link, incomplete attribution, incorrect date, unclear status, or privacy concern, the issue should be raised with the relevant page URL and supporting material.

What to Send

• The exact URL and sentence, paragraph, table row, image caption, or source link being challenged.
• The public record, court record, document, report, or publication that supports the correction.
• Whether the issue is factual, legal-status language, attribution, date, broken link, privacy, or clarification.

How Corrections Are Handled

If an article contains an error, outdated statement, unsupported claim, broken source link, or unclear classification, readers may request correction through the contact page.

Corrections may include factual correction, clarification, source update, evidence-class update, date update, or removal of unsupported wording.

When a material correction is made, the article's updated date should be changed and a correction note should be added.

Substantive factual corrections should be made visibly where needed. Minor typographical fixes may be corrected without a formal note. Material that raises legal, safety, privacy, or source-protection concerns may be edited, redacted, or withheld when publication would cause avoidable harm.

What Will Not Be Changed Without Evidence

A request to remove criticism, documented allegations, source-based analysis, or public-interest commentary will not be accepted only because it is inconvenient. The archive may revise language when a source is wrong, context is missing, status is unclear, or a later public record changes the evidence position.
