Corrections

We correct in the open. Every change to a published article is logged here, with a date.

The Vital Record treats corrections as first-class, public records. We do not silently edit published stories. When a factual error is found, the original text is preserved in the page’s history and a dated correction note is appended.

We use three levels:

• Clarification — wording improved; no factual change.
• Correction — a factual error fixed.
• Retraction — a claim that cannot be supported; the article stays online with a prominent retraction notice so the record is honest.
