Corrections / Revision history

Correcting the Record

Historical records must remain open to better evidence without becoming silently changeable.

Report an Error

Send the page URL, the disputed statement, and supporting evidence to stories@chaiandcode.org.

Review

We review the original archive material, the submitted evidence, and any relevant primary documentation. Subjects of a record may be contacted when their direct clarification is material.

Outcome

Minor spelling or formatting errors may be corrected directly. Material factual changes update the modification date and, where appropriate, add a correction note explaining what changed.

Disagreement

A request to remove accurate, relevant information is not automatically a correction. When credible accounts conflict, the record should represent the disagreement rather than erase it.
