Corrections Policy
Last updated 2 November 2026
1. Principles
We correct errors quickly, visibly and without argument. Published articles are never silently rewritten: a correction is recorded against the article and shown to readers.
2. What gets a corrections block
- A factual error that changes the meaning of a sentence, figure or quotation.
- A misattributed quote or an incorrect source link.
- A material omission that a reasonable reader would consider misleading.
3. What does not
Typos, style changes and added context that do not alter meaning are fixed without a corrections block, though the modification timestamp is always updated.
4. How a correction is recorded
Each corrections entry states the date and time (West Africa Time), what changed and why, and the initials of the editor who approved it. The article's dateModified is updated and the correction is included in the article's structured data.
5. Retractions
Where the central premise of an article is wrong, we retract it. The URL remains live with a retraction notice explaining what was wrong and when. We do not delete retracted articles.
6. Requesting a correction
Email corrections@pulsegrid.media with the article URL, the passage and the correct information, ideally with a source. We aim to respond within one working day.
