How a correction gets made
- Reader reports an issue via contact, with the article URL and a clear description of the problem.
- We verify the issue against the cited source (manufacturer spec, named reviewer test, UK retailer listing).
- If wrong, we fix it in the article body, update the "Last updated" date, and add an entry to the corrections log below.
- If unverifiable, we don't fix it and tell the reader why. We don't suppress reader reports.
Material versus cosmetic
- Material corrections (wrong torque, wrong verdict, wrong retailer, wrong battery count) get an entry in the log below.
- Cosmetic corrections (typos, broken links, image alt text) get fixed silently unless they affect meaning.
Updates versus corrections
An update is a routine refresh of prices, stock, or product availability. It does not change the verdict. It does not appear in this log.
A correction is a fix to a factual claim that was wrong at publication. It appears here with the date, the article, what was wrong, and what it is now.
Corrections log
| Date | Article | What was wrong | What it is now |

If you spot something
Please tell us. Contact with the article URL and the issue. We will verify and reply. If it is material and we were wrong, it goes in the log above.
