Corrections

We get things wrong sometimes. This page explains how to tell us, what we do about it, and lists the material corrections we have made.

How to report an error

• Use the contact page. Name the page, say what is wrong, and link the source that shows it if you can.
• On a Wire story, use the "Spot an error? Let us know" link at the end of the story. It opens the contact page with the story's identifier attached, so we know which story you mean.

What we do with a report

• A person reads it and checks the claim against the primary source.
• When the report is right, we correct the page in place, at the same address, and add a dated note saying what changed.
• A material correction, meaning one that changes a fact a reader could have relied on, such as a fee, a date, a deadline, a statute number or the status of a case or bill, is also listed in the log below.
• Typos, formatting and wording changes that do not change a fact are fixed without a log entry.
• When the source itself was wrong, we say what the source said and link it, instead of quietly changing our text.
