Report a potential error
Email hello@sportsignals.com or use the contact page. Please include:
- the URL of the article;
- the exact passage, headline, image or claim concerned;
- why you believe it is inaccurate or misleading; and
- supporting primary evidence where available.
How reports are assessed
David Adams reviews correction requests against the original sources, any new primary evidence and the article version that was published. A request is not accepted or rejected solely because it comes from a subject of the reporting. The deciding question is whether the published work is accurate, adequately supported and fairly presented.
Types of change
- Correction
- A factual, quotation, attribution, headline or material-context error is fixed. The article receives a visible correction note explaining the substance of the change.
- Clarification
- The original statement was not false, but additional wording is needed to prevent a reasonable misunderstanding. Material clarifications are disclosed.
- Update
- New events or evidence develop after publication. The article keeps its original publication date and shows a separate updated time.
- Minor edit
- Spelling, grammar, formatting or non-substantive schema changes may be fixed without a correction note and do not create a new updated date.
How corrections appear
We correct the article in place so the canonical URL and reporting record remain available. A material correction note states what was wrong and what changed. We do not silently change the original publication date to make corrected archive content appear new. Substantive changes receive a truthful modification time and are recorded in the article's revision history.
Removal and legal requests
An article is not removed merely because it is unflattering. We may remove, restrict or replace material where publication cannot be justified, where a legal or safety obligation requires it, or where the page is so incomplete that correction in place would mislead readers. Where appropriate, the URL retains an explanatory notice or redirects to the corrected canonical resource.
If you disagree with the outcome
Reply with the evidence you believe was overlooked and ask for a second review. We will reassess the specific disputed claim and explain whether the published article or correction note changes.
