Corrections Policy
How ObjectWire handles corrections
We make mistakes. Hiding them is not acceptable. Every error is corrected publicly, timestamped, and the original text is preserved alongside the corrected version.
What we correct
- Factual errors (names, numbers, dates, titles, locations, attributions)
- Misquotations or misleading paraphrases
- Misrepresentation of source documents
- Headline or subhead claims that overstate the reporting
- Material omissions that change the meaning of a story
How a correction looks on the page
When an article is corrected, the article body is updated and a clearly labeled Correction note is appended at the top of the article. The note includes:
- The date and time of the correction (UTC)
- The exact original text that was wrong
- The corrected text
- A short explanation of why the change was made
The original byline remains. Editorial responsibility is not anonymized. For substantive corrections (a wrong central claim, a mis-identified subject), we also publish the correction on our public corrections log on this page.
What is not a correction
Routine updates as a story develops (new statements, follow-on reporting, additional context) are added with an Update timestamp, not a correction note. Typo fixes that do not change meaning are made silently. Style edits do not require a note.
How to report an error
If you believe ObjectWire has published something inaccurate, contact us with:
- The article URL
- The specific claim or sentence at issue
- The source or document that contradicts it
- Your name and how to reach you (we may need to follow up)
Email: corrections@owire.org. We aim to acknowledge correction requests within 48 hours and to publish a correction or a written response within 5 business days.
Right of reply
If you are the subject of an ObjectWire article and were not contacted before publication, or if your response was not adequately reflected, write to editorial@owire.org. We will review and, where warranted, update the article with your response and a timestamp.
Removals and unpublishing
We do not unpublish articles to satisfy reputational requests. Removal is reserved for narrow, defined cases: legal compulsion, doxxing risk to a private individual, or a story built on a source we later determine fabricated material. In every removal case, we publish a short notice at the original URL explaining that the article was removed and why.
