Corrections

How we correct

• Nothing is silently rewritten. When a statement is replaced by a later or better one, the new row says what it replaces and the old one stays, marked. You can still read what was believed at an earlier hour.
• A correction is shown where the item is read, with the time and the source that corrected it.
• Where the brief or a plan was wrong, it is recorded in BRIEF-CORRECTIONS.md.
• What changed between versions is in what is new.

This is the rule we work to; it is not yet built everywhere. Timeline rows have permanent ids; a field that links a row to the one it supersedes is still being added. The reasons are in the reading list, under "Corrections must propagate".

If you find something wrong

A wrong time, a source that says something else, a label that should be evidence and not fact: we want to know. The way to tell us is being set up as a contribute page; anything sent is read as material and checked against its source before it changes a row. A person, not an agent, answers any message.

We do not publish contact details here, and we do not write about private people.
