Sometimes we get things wrong. When that happens, we fix it where everyone can see. This page explains how to tell us about a mistake, and what we do next.
We never quietly delete a mistake and pretend it was never there. If we published something wrong, the page will say so, and it will keep saying so.
Our corrections policy in 30 seconds
- Tell us: email ehtijadalee@gmail.com with “Correction” in the subject.
- Fast reply: we aim to answer within about 2 working days.
- Fixed in public: every real correction gets a dated note on the article.
- Never hidden: we do not quietly delete mistakes.
- Your side counts: if we wrote about you, you can ask for a right of reply.
How to report a mistake
Email ehtijadalee@gmail.com. You do not need to be polite, and you do not need to be certain. If something looks wrong, tell us and we will check.
To help us fix it quickly, try to include:
- The page. Copy the web address.
- The exact sentence. Copy and paste it, rather than describing it. Then there is no confusion about what you mean.
- What is wrong. Tell us what the correct information is.
- Your proof. A link, a document, a record. This is the most important part. A correction with proof gets fixed much faster.
- Your name, if you want credit. We are happy to thank you by name, by nickname, or not at all.
A real person reads these, not a robot. If an article is about you and you think it is unfair, say so and we will look at it first.
What happens next
- We reply. We try to confirm we got your email within two working days, even if fixing it takes longer.
- We investigate. We go back to the original sources, not to the article. If we need the document you mentioned, we will ask you for it.
- We decide. Either we were wrong, or we were right, or the wording was unclear. Two of those three mean the page gets changed.
- We fix it. The page is corrected or clarified, using the labels below.
- We tell you what we did. If we disagree with you, we explain why. We do not just say no.
Simple fact corrections usually take up to five working days. Complicated ones, especially about court cases, can take longer. If that happens we tell you, rather than leaving you waiting in silence.
The four types of change
Not every edit is a correction. If we called everything a correction, the word would stop meaning anything. So we use four labels:
| Type | What it means | What you will see |
|---|---|---|
| Correction | We published something that was wrong. | A dated note at the bottom of the article saying what was wrong and what it says now. |
| Clarification | The fact was right, but the wording could confuse people. | A dated note explaining what we reworded and why. |
| Update | Something new happened, like a court verdict. | A dated update note. The original text stays visible. |
| Quiet fix | Typos, broken links, formatting. | No note. These do not change the meaning, and marking them would bury the ones that matter. |
Correction notes are permanent. We do not remove them later. The record of being wrong is part of the article now.
What a correction note looks like (example):
Correction, 3 October 2026: An earlier version of this article gave the wrong year for a police operation. It happened in 2017, not 2016. We have fixed the date.
Big mistakes
If a mistake was serious enough to change what you understood, we do more:
- The note goes at the top of the article, not the bottom.
- If the headline was wrong, we change the headline too.
- If we shared the article anywhere, we share the correction there as well.
- If the mistake was about a named person or company, we try to tell them directly.
Very rarely, an article is wrong all the way through and cannot be saved. Then we withdraw it. The page stays online at the same address, with the text crossed out and a note explaining what happened. We do not delete it, because deleting it would break every link and hide the mistake.
What we will not do
- Delete true reporting because someone is unhappy about it. A correction request is not a removal request.
- Change something just because you say so. Without proof, we will recheck, but that alone does not change the page.
- Treat disagreement as a mistake. If you read the evidence differently, that is a debate, not an error. We are happy to add your side if you can back it up.
- Hide our history. We never backdate articles or remove old correction notes.
Right of reply
If we wrote about you and you think we were unfair, you can ask to reply. If your point is fair, we will publish your response, or an honest summary of it, next to the original article.
This is different from a correction. We can give you a right of reply even when we still think our reporting was correct.
