Corrections & Clarifications – ArchyPedia News

At archypedia.news, we are committed to accuracy, fairness, and transparency. When we get something wrong, we work to correct it as quickly and as clearly as possible.

This page explains our corrections process and provides a way for readers to notify us about potential errors. Our approach is guided by our Editorial Policy and overseen by our leadership team, detailed on the About / Masthead page.

Our Corrections Principles

  • Accuracy First: We strive to publish accurate information at the time of first publication, based on the best available evidence.
  • Transparency: When we correct a substantive error, we note that a correction or update has been made.
  • Accountability: We encourage readers, sources, and experts to flag possible mistakes or missing context.

Types of Corrections and Updates

Not all updates are the same. We categorize changes roughly as follows:

  • Minor Edits: Small fixes such as typos, spelling errors, or formatting issues that do not change the meaning of the article. These may be corrected silently.
  • Substantive Corrections: Errors that materially affect the understanding of a story—such as incorrect figures, misattributed quotes, wrong names, titles, dates, or locations—are corrected in the text and accompanied by a clear note.
  • Clarifications: When originally published information was technically accurate but may have been incomplete or open to misunderstanding, we add clarifying language and may note the clarification.
  • Updates: Some stories evolve as new information emerges (for example, ongoing investigations, developing policy decisions, or live events). We label new information as an update and, where appropriate, indicate what changed.

Each case is reviewed by the relevant section editor and, when necessary, by the Managing Editor or Editor-in-Chief.

How to Request a Correction

If you believe that an article on archypedia.news contains an error or lacks important context, we encourage you to contact us.

When requesting a correction, please include:

  • A link to the article in question.
  • A brief explanation of what you believe is incorrect or missing.
  • Any supporting documentation or sources, if available.
  • Your name and preferred contact information (optional but helpful for follow-up).

You can submit a correction request in one of the following ways:

  • Email our dedicated corrections address: [email protected]
  • Use the form or contact details on our Contact page.
  • For sensitive issues or story leads that go beyond simple corrections, you may also use our Submit a Tip page.

Our Review Process

Once we receive a correction request:

  1. The request is reviewed by the relevant section editor (for example, News, World, Health).
  2. When necessary, the section editor consults additional sources, original documents, or reporters involved in the piece.
  3. If a correction is warranted, the article is updated and, for substantive changes, a note is added explaining what was corrected and when.
  4. In more complex or sensitive cases, the Managing Editor and/or Editor-in-Chief reviews the decision before changes are finalized.

Our editorial leadership responsible for corrections oversight includes:

How We Label Corrections

When we make a substantive correction or clarification, we add a note at the bottom of the article. For example:

Correction (June 5, 2025): An earlier version of this article misstated the number of votes in the final tally. It has been updated to reflect the correct count.

Clarification (July 12, 2025): This article has been updated to clarify the timeline of events described in the second section.

We include the date of the correction or clarification and a brief description of what changed.

Corrections and AI-Assisted Content

Some of our summaries and explainers are initially drafted with the assistance of AI tools, but all content is reviewed and edited by human editors before publication.

If an error is introduced in AI-assisted content, it is treated like any other error:

  • The relevant editor reviews the issue.
  • The article is corrected and, if necessary, labeled with a correction or clarification note.
  • We continuously refine our internal processes and prompts to reduce the likelihood of similar mistakes recurring.

You can read more about our approach in the Editorial Policy and (if available) our How We Use AI page.

Corrections Log

As the site grows, we may maintain a public log of major corrections and clarifications on this page or in a separate archive. For the moment, significant corrections will be documented directly on the relevant articles.
