Corrections and retractions

We get things wrong. When we do, we want to fix them quickly and visibly. Here is how the process works.

When we correct

  • Factual errors. A name, number, date, price, quote attribution, or other fact is incorrect. We correct in place and append a note.
  • Mischaracterisations. A framing that misrepresents a source, project or person. We revise the framing and append a note.
  • Material context missing. Critical context that changes the reader's interpretation. We add the context and append a note.

When we retract

We retract an article when (a) the central claim is unsupportable, (b) a primary source has been withdrawn or shown to be unreliable, or (c) publication caused or risks causing real harm. Retracted articles remain at their canonical URL with a prominent retraction banner — we do not stealth-delete.

How to request a correction

Email the editor of record (Khal) at [email protected] with:

  • The article URL.
  • The exact passage you believe is wrong (copy-paste).
  • A link to a primary source that supports the correct version.
  • Optional: how you would like to be credited (name, handle, "anonymous reader").

We aim to acknowledge requests within 24 hours and act within 72 hours. If a request is urgent (e.g. live-market impact, legal notice), please flag it in the subject line.

Legal notices

For DMCA, defamation, or other legal claims, please email [email protected] and include sufficient detail for us to identify the article and the disputed content. We respond to good-faith notices.

Correction log

A public correction log is in development. For now, retracted articles carry a retraction banner at their canonical URL and remain crawlable so that the public record reflects the correction.
