Reporting an error

Readers may contact us with the page URL, the statement in question, and supporting information. Specific reports are easier to investigate than general disagreement.

How we assess corrections

The editorial team reviews the claim against the cited source and, when appropriate, additional authoritative references. Clinical questions may be referred for qualified review.

What we change

Minor grammar or formatting edits may be made without a correction note. Material factual corrections that alter the meaning of health information should be reflected transparently in the page’s update record when appropriate.

No silent credential changes

Author, reviewer, and affiliation information should not be altered in a way that misrepresents who created or reviewed a page.
