We will make mistakes, and when we do we want to fix them quickly and transparently. A site about setting the record straight owes its readers exactly that.

How to report an error

Email [email protected] with the article title and, if you can, a source we can verify. We take well-evidenced corrections seriously regardless of who sends them.

How we handle corrections

• Substantive errors — a wrong fact, date, or conclusion — are corrected promptly, with a note on the article indicating what was changed and when.
• Minor fixes such as typos or broken links are corrected without a formal note.
• If new evidence changes our verdict on a myth, we update the article to follow the evidence, and say so.

Our goal is that you can always trust the current version of an article to reflect the best information we have.
