Corrections

Our position

We will make mistakes. When we do, we will fix them and say that we did.

A financial publication that quietly edits errors is less trustworthy than one that visibly corrects them, because a reader has no way to tell the difference between a page that was always right and a page that was fixed. We would rather you could tell.

How to report an error

Write to editorial@nouqud.com. Include the page and what you believe is wrong. If you can point us to a source, that helps, but it is not required.

We read every report. We will respond whether or not we make a change.

What happens next

If we are wrong, we correct the page and add a note at the bottom recording what was wrong, what it now says, and the date. The note stays permanently. We do not remove correction notices once a page has been fixed.

If a factual error is significant enough to have changed a reader’s understanding, the notice appears at the top of the page rather than the bottom.

If we are not wrong, we will tell you why. If the question is genuinely contested, we will usually say so on the page, because that is more useful than picking a side quietly.

Routine updates are not corrections

When a rate changes, a regulation is amended, or a product is withdrawn, we update the page and change the last-updated date. That is maintenance, not a correction, and it does not carry a notice.

The distinction is whether the page was wrong when it was written. A page that has aged is not a page that was mistaken.
