Corrections
When we get something wrong, we fix it and say so. Here's how.
Our policy
Every claim on this site is supposed to trace back to a source we can point to. That system still fails sometimes: a manufacturer revises a spec after we captured it, a reader catches a transcription slip, a source we treated as reliable turns out not to be. When that happens, we correct the article itself, not just a footnote, and we record the correction with its date on the page. We don't quietly edit a claim and leave readers thinking it always said that.
A correction is different from an update. Specs, prices and firmware genuinely change over a product's life, and articles get revised to reflect that as part of normal maintenance (each has a listed update date). A correction is specifically for something that was wrong when we published it, or that a source changed underneath us without us catching it in time.
What counts as correctable
- A number that doesn't match its cited source: a spec, a price, a warranty term, a measurement.
- A claim attributed to the wrong source, or a quote that doesn't appear where we said it did.
- A dead or redirected link where the underlying source has moved or been taken down.
- A verdict or score built on a claim that turns out to be false; if the underlying evidence changes enough, the score and verdict get revisited too, not just the sentence that was wrong.
A difference of opinion about which product is best isn't a correction request on its own. If you disagree with a verdict, tell us why and point to the evidence you think we missed; we'll weigh it the same way we weigh any other source.
How to report one
Email contact@cernary.com with the article URL, what you believe is wrong, and a source we can check independently. A link to the manufacturer page, manual or test you're citing gets a correction actioned much faster than a description of what you remember reading elsewhere. See contact for other ways to reach us.
What happens next
We check the source you sent against our ledger entry for that claim. If it holds up, we correct the article, update the ledger entry, and note the date of the correction. If the affected claim fed into a score or verdict, we recheck those too. We don't promise a specific turnaround time, but factual errors get priority over routine content updates.
