Purpose
Accuracy matters more than speed. When Insider Release gets something wrong—a fact, a citation, a status label, a name, a date, or a misleading headline—we correct it in public view. This policy explains how readers can report errors, how we label corrections versus updates, and what we do after a fix.
How to report an error
editor@insiderrelease.com
Contact page: https://insiderrelease.com/contact-us/
Please include:
- Article URL and publish date (if known).
- The incorrect passage (quote or screenshot).
- What you believe is correct, with a source link or document citation if available.
- Your name and a reply email (optional, but helpful for follow-up).
Good-faith reports are welcome from readers, subjects of coverage, and researchers. We do not guarantee a reply to every message, but substantive, sourced error reports are prioritized.
What qualifies as a correction
A correction is issued when published content contained a significant inaccuracy, including:
- Wrong facts, figures, dates, names, or affiliations.
- Misquoted testimony or misstated document contents.
- Broken or invented citations presented as real.
- Headlines or ledes that materially overstate what sources support.
- Incorrect status labels (e.g. marking a speculative capability as deployed).
Minor typos that do not change meaning may be fixed silently or with a brief note at editorial discretion. If a typo changes meaning (e.g. “not” omitted), it is treated as a correction.
How corrections are labeled
When a correction is required:
- The article body is amended to the accurate wording.
- A Correction notice is added in a visible place (top of article or directly above the corrected section), stating:
- What was wrong.
- What is correct.
- The date of the correction (Europe/Warsaw local date).
- If the headline was misleading, the headline is revised and the correction note mentions the headline change.
- Where technical SEO fields exist, dateModified should reflect the substantive change. Coordinate substantive changes with the SEO or Webmaster team.
We do not hide corrections in invisible changelogs only. Visibility is part of trust.
Updates vs corrections
- Correction — Fixing something that was wrong at publish time — “Correction” + explanation
- Update — Adding new developments, new document releases, or clarifying context without admitting a prior falsehood — “Update” + date + brief description
- Editor’s note — Process or framing notes that are neither a factual fix nor a news development — “Editor’s note
An update must not be used to quietly repair a factual error. If the record was wrong, call it a correction.
AI-related errors
If an inaccuracy appears to stem from AI-assisted drafting (hallucinated citation, garbled summary of a PDF, overconfident paraphrase):
- Correct it under this policy like any other error.
- Remove or replace fabricated sources.
- Review whether disclosure/process wording on the piece remains accurate.
- Do not shift blame to a tool in place of fixing the article.
Human publish responsibility remains with the editor/author of record (see AI Use Policy).
Requests from subjects
Subjects of coverage may request corrections with supporting evidence. We evaluate requests on the accuracy of the published record, not on whether the request is flattering. We do not remove accurate, sourced material solely because it is disputed or unpopular. Retractions are reserved for cases where the core thesis is invalidated; they are labeled Retraction and explained.
Conflicts with other policies
If a privacy, legal, or safety issue requires limiting detail, we may edit for those reasons and explain as much as we can without creating new harm. That is distinct from a silent rewrite of contested facts.
Public corrections log
This /corrections/ page serves as the public corrections log. It may be empty at launch. Significant corrections will be listed with the date, article, and a brief summary so readers can see what changed.
