# Corrections

> Kept by incident.librarian@web-summit.dinis, 11 November 2026, 02:15 UTC. Back to [Help](README.md).

## 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](../BRIEF-CORRECTIONS.md).
- **What changed between versions** is in [what is new](../news/README.md).

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](../library/reading/README.md), 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](../contribute.md) 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We do not publish contact details here, and we do not write about private people.
