Corrections Policy

Accuracy is the foundation of Informopedia.com. When we get something wrong — or when the verified facts change — we correct it openly.

What triggers a correction

Any material error of fact — a wrong statistic, a misattributed finding, a claim contradicted by newer verified evidence — triggers a formal correction. So does any change in the underlying evidence that alters what a guide concludes.

How we correct

Corrections are made in place: the article is fixed at the same URL, and a dated correction note is added at the foot of the article describing what changed and why. We do not silently rewrite published content, and we do not delete articles to hide errors.

Minor fixes

Typographical errors, formatting glitches, and broken links are fixed without a formal note — they do not change the meaning of the content. Anything that could affect a reader’s understanding is treated as a correction, not a minor fix.

Correction notes

A correction note states the date of the correction, what was wrong, and what it now says. Notes remain attached to the article permanently, so the record of what changed is never lost — transparency that our readers can audit.

Reporting an error

If you spot an error in any guide, please tell us through the contact page on our sister site, informopedia.net/contact/, including the article URL and the correct information with its source. We review every report, and verified corrections are published promptly.
