The corrections log: a public record of the desk's accuracy

How the corrections log is governed

The corrections log is the public record of the desk's accuracy. The log is held to the verification tier; the tier is the source of the chapter. The held-back tier is set on facts that are not yet sourceable; the desk reads the held-back tier as the editorial commitment.

The log's structure

The log is structured around four fields: the date, the page, the original claim, and the corrected claim. The date is the day the correction was published; the page is where the correction was made; the original claim is what was published; the corrected claim is what should have been published. The desk reads the log as a record of the season; the editorial authority is the source chain.
