Accountability

Corrections policy

We correct errors openly, and we publish replies from the people we write about.

Corrections

When we get something wrong, we fix it on the file and add a dated entry to its revision history describing what changed. We do not silently edit published facts.

Right of reply

Anyone named in a file may send a response. We publish it in full or in fair summary in the file's “Responses and disputes” section.

Takedown and legal requests

Legal, privacy and copyright requests are reviewed by editors and counsel. Where material is withdrawn, the file is marked as withdrawn rather than deleted without explanation, unless the law requires otherwise.

Response times

We aim to acknowledge requests within two working days.
