Corrections

Factual errors in the archive are corrected on request. This page documents the workflow so anyone named or cited can file a correction without negotiating with the editor.

What we correct

Anything where the Ledger misrepresents a record: wrong incident date, wrong agency, wrong outcome, wrong tribunal citation, a published summary that misquotes the source document. Corrections do not include disagreements with the source material itself — if an oversight body's decision contains a factual error, raise it with that body; the Ledger mirrors what they published.

How to file

Email the URL of the page you're correcting and a concise description of what's wrong plus a pointer to the source of truth (the original decision, a later correction notice, etc.). Correspondence goes to the editor of record. Include a phone number if you'd like a call-back; we do not require one.

Right-of-reply for named parties

Only the internal archive retains officer names; the public surface is anonymized. If a party believes the redaction was insufficient — a published summary still identifies them by compound descriptors the redaction pass missed — that's a correction we act on immediately. Removal of a row pending review is the default response until the redaction is re-run.

File a correction

Submit a factual correction directly. Editors review every submission; if accepted, it appears in the public log below with a resolution note. Submitter name + email are optional and never surface publicly.

Contact details stay internal. Submissions aren't published automatically — editors triage first and only the resolution surfaces on the public log.

Public log

Every accepted correction appears below with its before/after, the date it was resolved, and the editor's resolution note. Rejected corrections are not logged per SPEC §11 — anyone can resubmit with more evidence. Corrections marked not-public (to avoid re-identification) are omitted from this page but still apply to the underlying data.
