Corrections

What counts as a correction

A specification shown on a page differs from the manufacturer document it cites.
A fact was attached to the wrong model, configuration or market.
A manufacturer changed or withdrew the document a fact relies on.
A statement goes further than its evidence supports.

Report an error

Email speccairn@gmail.com with the page address, the statement you believe is wrong and, if possible, the manufacturer document that shows the correct information. See also the contact page.

What happens

The report is verified against evidence: the affected fact is re-checked against the current source document. A report on its own does not change a fact.
Affected pages must be withheld until re-checked. The release build accepts only articles from the pinned, reviewed set; an already deployed static copy does not remove itself. The owner must arrange a corrected build or withdrawal promptly when a material error is confirmed.
A corrected fact is recorded as a new version; the old version is kept in the audit history, not overwritten.
The corrected page goes through editorial review and the owner's approval again before it is published, with a real update date.

Material corrections

A material correction is one that changes a specification, a compatibility statement or an article's conclusion. Each material correction is documented in a correction note at the bottom of the corrected article, showing:

the date of the correction;
what changed;
why it changed;
the sources that support the correction.

A correction note never identifies the person who reported the error. A corrected article goes through the same evidence review and owner approval as any other change before the note appears. A separate structured correction-note module is not connected; the current signed article body can carry a reviewed plain-text correction section. No automatic deployed-site withdrawal is claimed.
