Corrections Policy

Updated

Clear guidance depends on correcting mistakes. Readers can report a factual error, an outdated statement, a confusing illustration, a broken link, or an accessibility problem through the contact page.

What to include

Assessing reports

Reports should be checked against the relevant evidence. A conflicting regional rule, species name, or product direction can require a narrower statement rather than a universal replacement. Issues affecting safety deserve priority. Sending a report does not establish that a proposed correction is accurate.

Updating a page

When a substantive correction is made, the article's modification date should be updated and a correction note should explain a material change to its meaning. Typographical or layout fixes do not necessarily represent a new factual review. A site rebuild alone should not reset content dates.

This policy does not promise an individual identification, diagnosis, or a fixed response time. Please avoid sharing sensitive personal information in a report.
