Report a possible error
Use the contact form and include the affected URL, the statement you believe is wrong, the proposed correction. A source that can be checked. Choose a subject beginning with Correction: so the message can be triaged quickly.
How reports are reviewed
We compare the report with the page's sources and current primary information. A company or subject of coverage may provide evidence. But it does not receive a right to rewrite criticism or approve the final page.
Types of changes
Minor spelling, formatting, or link repairs may be corrected without a note. A change that alters a conclusion, price, safety statement, attribution, action, or other material fact should update the visible modification date and include an explanatory note when readers could otherwise be misled.
What is not a correction
A disagreement with an editorial judgment is not automatically a factual error. We will still review whether the judgment uses the stated criteria fairly and whether important evidence is missing.
What makes a report actionable
A useful correction request finds a specific statement and supplies evidence that can be checked. General disagreement is harder to review than a page URL, the exact claim at issue. A source that shows why the claim may be wrong or incomplete. Screenshots can help, but a source that another reviewer can access is usually stronger evidence.
Clarifications versus corrections
Not every change means the original statement was factually wrong. Sometimes a sentence is technically accurate but too broad, missing context, or easy to misunderstand. In those cases, the page may need a clarification rather than a correction. The goal is the same: leave the reader with wording that matches the available evidence.
Material changes
A material change affects how a reader could understand or act on the page. That can include a changed conclusion, price, safety statement, attribution, action, or another fact that could influence the decision. When a revision reaches that level, the visible update information should reflect the substantive change rather than treating it as routine formatting.
Editorial judgment
Some pages include analysis or actions that cannot be reduced to one factual statement. A subject of coverage may disagree with that judgment. The disagreement is still reviewed for fairness, missing evidence, and consistency with the published criteria. But it does not create an automatic right to replace the conclusion.
How to submit evidence
Use the contact form, begin the subject with Correction:, and provide only the material needed to review the issue. Do not send sensitive information that is unrelated to the correction.
Correction request checklist
- Send the page URL.
- Quote or find the statement at issue.
