Correct the answer. Keep the record clear.
SearchGlint’s corrections standard is straightforward: when reliable evidence shows that a material claim is wrong, the page should be corrected and the change made understandable to readers.
What to include in a correction request
Use the channel listed on our Contact page. Include the page URL, the sentence or section in question, an explanation of the issue and a source or reproducible example. A precise report is more useful than a general request to remove or rewrite an article.
For a tool issue, include the browser, the steps to reproduce it and a minimal example with private information removed. Do not send passwords, access tokens, customer data or private production files.
How we assess an issue
- Check the claim against the cited source and any newer evidence.
- Determine whether it is a factual error, an unclear explanation, a changed platform behavior or a difference of interpretation.
- Revise the affected explanation or recommendation. If the evidence remains unresolved, qualify the claim rather than replace one unsupported certainty with another.
- For a material correction, add a dated note describing what changed and why.
Corrections, updates and small edits
A correction addresses information that was materially wrong or misleading. An update reflects a later change, such as new platform documentation or product behavior. Spelling, formatting and minor wording edits do not normally need a correction notice when they leave the meaning unchanged.
If a central conclusion can no longer be supported, our policy is to make that limitation visible and revise or withdraw the recommendation. We do not treat a commercial relationship as a reason to hide an error.
Response expectations
We do not promise a fixed response time or individual replies to every message. Reports of a harmful instruction, a material factual error or an exposed private detail deserve priority. A correction request is assessed on its evidence; it does not guarantee a change in editorial judgment.
For the wider publishing standard, read our editorial policy.
