PrimeKnowAll aims to correct factual errors promptly and clearly when they are identified. Publication does not make an article immune from further review, and a reader who provides better evidence can help improve the accuracy of the site.
What Counts as a Correction
A correction may be required when published material contains an incorrect fact, date, number, name, quotation, unit, description, attribution, calculation, or other statement that can be verified as wrong.
Outdated information may also require correction when the wording presents it as current. In other cases, an article may need clarification because the original wording was technically correct but could reasonably lead readers to the wrong conclusion.
How Correction Reports Are Reviewed
A correction request is checked against the evidence relevant to the disputed claim. The original source may be reviewed again, and newer or more authoritative evidence may be consulted when necessary.
The number of websites repeating a claim is not enough to establish that it is correct. The review focuses on where the information originated, whether the source is appropriate, how current it is, and whether different definitions or measurement methods explain the disagreement.
Minor and Substantive Changes
Small edits such as spelling, grammar, punctuation, formatting, or wording that does not alter the factual meaning may be corrected without a separate correction notice.
A substantive correction is different. If an important number, conclusion, historical fact, comparison, definition, or other meaningful statement changes because the original information was wrong or materially incomplete, the article should be updated in a way that does not disguise the change.
Depending on the article and the significance of the correction, this may include a new updated date or an entry in the article’s revision history.
Updates Are Not Always Corrections
Not every change means the previous article contained an error.
A government agency may release a new annual figure. A scientific institution may publish a better measurement. A transport system may change its fares. A technical standard may be revised. Archaeological research may add evidence that was not available when an article was written.
Changes of this kind are normally treated as updates rather than corrections unless the earlier article was already inaccurate at the time it was published.
Disagreements and Uncertain Facts
A difference of interpretation does not automatically mean that an article is wrong. Historical, scientific, geographic, and technical subjects can contain legitimate disagreements between credible sources.
When the evidence supports more than one reasonable interpretation, the preferred response is to explain the disagreement rather than convert an uncertain question into a false certainty.
If a correction request demonstrates that an article gave one disputed interpretation as established fact, the wording may be revised to reflect the actual level of certainty.
Publication Dates and Update Dates
The original publication date represents when an article first appeared. A later update date may be used when meaningful changes are made.
PrimeKnowAll does not consider a cosmetic edit sufficient reason by itself to represent an article as newly researched. Update dates are intended to help readers judge how recently substantive information was reviewed.
How to Report an Error
Correction requests can be sent to support@primeknowall.com.
Please include:
- the article address;
- the sentence, table entry, figure, or claim you believe is incorrect;
- what you believe the correct information should be;
- the source or evidence supporting the correction, if available.
Detailed evidence is helpful, but readers do not need to write a formal report. A clear description of the issue is enough to begin a review.
What Happens After a Report
A report may result in a correction, clarification, source replacement, data update, additional context, or no change if the published information remains supported by the stronger evidence.
Correction decisions are based on the evidence rather than on whether a proposed change is more favorable to PrimeKnowAll, an advertiser, an organization, a product, or a person mentioned in an article.
