A material fact was wrong
Correction
Fix the page, add a dated note explaining the original error and corrected fact, and enter the notice in the public log.
Corrections
Correct the page, explain the change, preserve the record
IndoPac treats accuracy as a continuing obligation. A material error should be repaired where it appeared and documented clearly enough that readers can understand both the original problem and the correction.
Change labels
Use the label that tells the reader what happened
Not every edit needs a formal notice, but every material factual change needs a visible and proportionate record.
The wording was accurate but incomplete or open to a materially wrong reading
Clarification
Revise the passage and add a note when the clarification changes how a reasonable reader would understand the story.
New information changed the state of the story after publication
Update
Add the information with an update time. Do not call a factual repair an update merely because newer reporting is available.
A typo, broken link, layout problem, or metadata issue did not change the meaning
Presentation fix
Repair it promptly. A formal note is normally unnecessary unless the defect affected attribution, discoverability, or comprehension.
Review path
A correction is complete only when the visible record is complete
This workflow applies to reporting, desk context, generated labels, maps, charts, directories, newsletters, and metadata.
Step 01
Record the exact claim
Preserve the page URL, disputed words, publication time, and evidence supporting the concern.
Step 02
Check the source trail
Review the originating report, primary documents, later updates, and any materially different accounts.
Step 03
Repair the source page
Correct the visible text, metadata, labels, or links before treating the matter as closed.
Step 04
Explain the material change
Add a plain-language note describing what was wrong, what is now correct, and when the change was made.
Step 05
Add it to the public log
Log consequential factual corrections and clarifications so readers do not need to rediscover the original page to find the record.
Reporting a possible error
Specific evidence makes review faster and fairer.
A useful report identifies the exact URL and passage, explains the suspected error, and links to a primary document or reliable reporting that supports the concern. Disagreement with an attributed opinion is not, by itself, a factual correction.
Intake status
A dedicated public corrections inbox is not yet configured. IndoPac will publish an address here only after the receiving and response workflow is operational; this page does not invent an unmonitored contact channel.
Public log
Material corrections and clarifications
Each future entry should include the affected page, correction date, original error, corrected information, and supporting source trail.
No notices have been entered in this new log.
This empty state is not a claim that the publication has never made an error. It means no historical correction record was available when the public log was established.
