Correct Openly and Fast
3 min readUpdated 15 Jun 2026Applies to every published piece
Everyone gets things wrong. What matters is fixing it quickly and saying what changed.
When you find an error in a published piece:
- Request a correction from the piece's menu with the right information and a source.
- Don't quietly edit the live text; a correction note is added.
- Tell the editor if the error changes the argument.
In Practice
CreditIf you report your own error, the note says "Corrected by the author".
