Historical corrections · New evidence · Reopened Files
If better evidence changes a Redacted Forge conclusion, the correction should be visible, attributable, and connected to the investigation that depended on the earlier finding. Quietly swapping the record is not the standard.
A correction is material when it changes a factual claim, source interpretation, finding, confidence level, date, identity, location, quotation meaning, or another detail that could change what a reasonable viewer takes away from the investigation.
Preserve the earlier version, explain what changed and why, identify the new evidence or error, update the affected investigation, and reopen the question when the new record requires it.
Typos, formatting, dead links, accessibility improvements, and other non-substantive repairs may be fixed without presenting them as historical reversals. Material changes receive a clearer record.
Supported can become disputed. Disputed can become supported. Unresolved can become answerable. A finding reflects the best available evidence at a point in time, not a permanent badge the brand must defend forever.
Published material corrections and reopened investigations should point back to the affected File or claim, show the earlier and current finding, give the date and reason for the change, and identify the evidence that justified it.
If no material corrections are listed yet, that means there is no public correction entry to show—not that corrections are hidden.
