Corrections

Corrections

We hold ourselves to primary-source standards, but we will still get things wrong from time to time. When we do, we fix it in the open. A correction is not an embarrassment to be hidden — it is how an honest archive earns its trust.

What counts as a correction

A correction addresses a factual error: a wrong date, a misattributed source, a misquoted document, a miscredited researcher, or a claim that turns out not to be supported by the evidence we cited. We distinguish this from an update — new primary material that adds to a living case file — though we handle both the same way: openly, in the file itself.

How we fix it

• We correct the case file directly so readers are not left with the wrong information.
• For anything material, we note what changed and when, so the record of the change is visible.
• If an error appeared in a video or elsewhere, we correct the canonical case file and, where practical, annotate the other format.
• If a source we relied on is later retracted or debunked, we say so plainly rather than quietly deleting it.

Report an error

If you have spotted a mistake — especially if you can point us to a primary source — please tell us. Good corrections from readers make the archive better, and we credit substantive ones where appropriate.

Use our contact form and select “Correction”. Tell us the page, the specific claim, and (ideally) a source. We read every one.
