How we handle a confirmed error in a published article, and how to report one.
Last updated: October 2026.
As explained on our About page, most articles go through an AI-generated pipeline — topic discovery, AI drafting with educational framing, module structure, publication — without a human editor reviewing each one individually before it goes live. That scale is what lets us publish new content every week, but it also means an error can occasionally reach a published page before anyone catches it. This policy explains what happens once one does.
A separate category, reader-submitted articles via Write for Us, works differently: every submission is reviewed by hand before it's ever published.
When we confirm a factual error — a wrong figure, a misidentified person, organization, or product, an outdated claim, or incorrect metadata like a tag or keyword — we fix the article directly. The fix always includes a visible, dated correction notice placed at the top of the article explaining what was wrong and what changed, so a reader isn't left guessing whether something was silently rewritten. This applies to any confirmed error we catch, not just major ones — a small mistake still gets a visible notice, not a quiet edit.
We don't currently maintain a separate version history or changelog beyond that in-article notice — what you see is the corrected version, with the notice as the record that a correction happened.
If an article turns out to be based on a misread topic, or contains an error serious enough that editing it wouldn't be honest, we remove or substantially rewrite it rather than leave a misleading version live.
A request to remove or change accurately reported content simply because someone would prefer it not exist isn't a correction, and we won't treat it as one. We correct factual errors — we don't retract accurate content on request.
