No material corrections have been published yet.
The desk launched its corrections log on 17 July 2026. Future corrections will be listed in reverse chronological order.
How corrections work
Material corrections are listed here with a timestamp, the article name, and a one-line note on what was corrected and why. Typos and non-material wording changes are fixed silently in the article with an editorial note at the bottom; the corrections log is reserved for material errors.
Readers who spot an error should route it via the contact page. We respond within 48 hours and, where the error is material, publish a correction here.
Recent corrections
No material corrections have been published yet. The desk launched its corrections log on 17 July 2026 and the log is empty by design — we are starting the publication with a clean record.
Future corrections will be listed in reverse chronological order with a timestamp and a one-line note on the change.
What we count as a material correction
A material correction is an error that affects the substantive claim — a wrong squad player listed as in the XI, a wrong role attributed to a player, a wrong fixture date, a wrong attribution. Typos, formatting issues, and non-material wording changes are not material corrections and are fixed silently.
The desk's working rule is that any error a reader could rely on for a selection decision is material and goes in the log.
How long does a correction take?
Material corrections are published within 24 hours of confirmation. The corrections log is updated when the article is updated.
Do you notify readers when a correction is published?
The corrections log is the public record. We do not email subscribers about corrections; the log is the durable surface for the audit chain.
What if I disagree with a published correction?
Route your disagreement via the contact page. If the disagreement is substantive, we will publish a response alongside the correction.
How corrections are timestamped
Material corrections are timestamped at the time of publication. The timestamp appears in the corrections log and in the article's update note. The original article wording remains visible; the correction is appended with a timestamp.
Readers who want to verify the timing of a correction can cross-reference the timestamp in the corrections log with the timestamp in the article's update note. The two timestamps match; if they do not match, the discrepancy is noted in the corrections log.
Why we don't fix typos in the corrections log
Typos and non-material wording changes are fixed silently with an editorial note at the bottom of the article. The corrections log is reserved for material errors that affect the substantive claim. The desk's working rule is that any error a reader could rely on for a selection decision is material and goes in the log.
This boundary keeps the corrections log focused on substantive errors and avoids the noise that would come from logging every typo. Readers who spot a typo can report it via the contact page; we will fix it silently with an editorial note.
Why the corrections log is public
The corrections log is public because the audit chain is part of the desk's editorial product. A correction that is fixed silently — without an entry in the corrections log — does not allow the reader to verify that the desk caught the error and addressed it. The corrections log is the durable surface for that verification.
The desk's working rule is that any error a reader could rely on for a selection decision is material and goes in the log. Typos and non-material wording changes are fixed silently with an editorial note at the bottom of the article.
How to read the corrections log
The corrections log is in reverse chronological order, with the most recent correction at the top. Each entry includes the article name, the timestamp, and a one-line note on what was corrected and why. Readers who want to see the full article can follow the link in the entry to the article with the correction applied.
The corrections log is updated when the article is updated. The timestamp in the log matches the timestamp in the article's update note. Where the two timestamps do not match, the discrepancy is noted in the entry.
How the desk handles late-emerging corrections
Where a material error is identified after the original publication but before a major correction log entry has been made, the desk publishes the correction within 24 hours and notes it in the corrections log. The original article wording remains visible; the correction is appended with a timestamp.
Readers who identify a material error can report it via the contact page. The desk responds within 48 hours on working days and, where the error is material, publishes a correction in the log.
A note on the desk's self-audit process
The desk's self-audit process is the editorial workflow applied in reverse. Each published piece is reviewed against the editorial policy page; where the piece falls short of the policy, the desk publishes a correction. The self-audit is not a single event — it is a continuous process that runs alongside the publication workflow.
The self-audit is documented in the corrections log. Readers who want to track the desk's self-audit pattern can read the log directly. The desk's working rule is that the self-audit is transparent — the corrections log is the public surface for the audit.
A note on the desk's editorial accountability
The desk's editorial accountability is anchored to the corrections log. Where the desk publishes an error, the log records the error, the article affected, and the timestamp. Readers who want to verify the desk's accountability can read the log directly.
The desk's accountability is operational. A piece that does not meet the editorial standards is not published; a piece that meets the standards is published with the appropriate attribution and timestamp. The corrections log is the public surface for the audit.
How the desk handles reader-flagged corrections
Where a reader flags a correction via the contact page, the desk reviews the flag within 48 hours on working days. Where the flag is substantive — a wrong source, a wrong date, a wrong attribution — the desk publishes a correction in the log within 24 hours of confirmation.
The desk's working rule is that reader-flagged corrections are prioritised. A reader who spots an error and reports it is doing the desk's editorial work; the desk responds accordingly. The corrections log is the public surface for the response.
A note on the desk's correction process
The desk's correction process is anchored to the editorial workflow. When a correction is identified, the editor on duty reviews the correction, confirms the error, and publishes the correction in the log. The correction is appended to the original article with a timestamp.
The desk's correction process is documented in the editorial policy page. Readers who want to verify the process can read the editorial policy page directly. The process is the same for all material corrections, regardless of the article type.
A note on the desk's editorial workflow
The desk's editorial workflow is the process by which each piece is reviewed before publication. The workflow includes sourcing, timestamping, archiving, and reviewing. Each step is enforced by the editorial policy; a piece that does not meet the policy is not published.
The corrections log is part of the workflow. When a correction is identified, the log records the correction and the article is updated. The log is the durable surface for the audit.
How corrections are timestamped
Material corrections are timestamped at the time of publication. The timestamp appears in the corrections log and in the article's update note. The original article wording remains visible; the correction is appended with a timestamp.
Readers who want to verify the timing of a correction can cross-reference the timestamp in the corrections log with the timestamp in the article's update note. The two timestamps match; if they do not match, the discrepancy is noted in the corrections log.
Why we don't fix typos in the corrections log
Typos and non-material wording changes are fixed silently with an editorial note at the bottom of the article. The corrections log is reserved for material errors that affect the substantive claim. The desk's working rule is that any error a reader could rely on for a selection decision is material and goes in the log.
This boundary keeps the corrections log focused on substantive errors and avoids the noise that would come from logging every typo. Readers who spot a typo can report it via the contact page; we will fix it silently with an editorial note.
