THE PUBLIC RECORD
Corrections & updates
A material correction should be easy to find, understand, and distinguish from a later development.
The correction policy
A correction should identify the affected article, the statement that was wrong, the corrected information, and the date of the change. The article should retain a correction note. A meaningful update should identify the new development without implying that the original account was necessarily an error.
