Corrections

When we get something wrong

We fix it quickly and openly, and the history stays on the page.

Email hello@factsout.com with the page, the figure and, if you have it, the source that shows the error.

What happens next

  • We check the original source again.
  • If we were wrong, we correct the page and add a dated note to its change history saying what changed and why.
  • If the correction changes the verdict, the history shows the old verdict, the new verdict and the reason.
  • We never change a page's "updated" date without a real change.

Updates

Pages are updated when their sources publish new data, not on a calendar. Each page shows when it was last checked.
