Corrections

What was corrected, and what changed

Correcting in silence is the cheapest way of lying.

The policy

An entry in the register holds the previous value, the new value, the date, the reason and the ledger row that changed. Nothing is removed: a corrected entry is added to that row’s history, it does not replace it. There are three kinds, and they are not mixed:

  • Correction. The published value was wrong. It is a confession, and it is the reason the register exists.
  • Update. The value was right and stopped being so, because what it measures changed. It is not an error.
  • Provenance revision. The value did not change; the route to the source did, an address for example. It is neither an error nor an update.

Anyone who finds an error writes to correcoes@oestadodopais.pt. A confirmed error enters the register with credit to whoever found it, if they wish.

Anyone named may reply to the same address as the corrections: the reply is published beside the piece, unedited.
