ACCURACY

Corrections Policy

Accuracy matters to us. When we learn that something we’ve published is materially incorrect, our goal is to fix it.

Factual Corrections

Material factual errors should be corrected as soon as reasonably possible after they are identified and verified.

Personal Stories

Because personal stories describe someone’s recollection of their own experience, we distinguish between correcting an objective factual error and rewriting a contributor’s genuine recollection.

Scientific Information

Scientific understanding changes. Research pages may be updated when important new evidence, regulatory information, or other reliable information becomes available.

Report an Error

If you believe something on What I Tried is inaccurate, please tell us what page you’re referring to, what you believe is incorrect, and—when possible—the source supporting the correction.
