Corrections Policy

How we correct factual errors and clarify material ambiguities in published work.

Last reviewed: July 13, 2026

Submitting a correction

Send the page URL, the exact passage at issue, why it may be inaccurate, and a supporting primary source through our contact page. We review good-faith reports regardless of whether the sender is named in the article.

How we evaluate reports

We compare the published statement with applicable primary authority and consider effective dates, procedural context, exceptions, and whether the issue changes a reader's likely understanding.

How changes are displayed

Typographical fixes that do not alter meaning may be corrected without a note. Material factual corrections should include a clear correction or update note explaining what changed. Headlines, metadata, structured data, and calculator assumptions are corrected alongside body copy when affected.

No silent reversals

We do not quietly reverse a material conclusion. If an article is no longer supportable, we will substantially revise it, clearly label it, or remove it from publication while preserving an appropriate explanation or redirect when required for readers and search integrity.
