Report an error

Email contact@pk-sharma.com with the address of the article and what you think is wrong. A link to the source that shows it helps most.

What happens next

  1. The claim is checked against the original source the article cites, and against any newer statement from the same source.
  2. If the article is wrong, it is fixed, and the change is dated on the article itself, usually in a section at the top.
  3. The change is listed, with its date and a line on what changed, in the corrections log.
  4. A briefing that its sources cannot support is withdrawn, and the withdrawal is listed in the same way.

Corrections and updates

A correction is marked where a headline, standfirst or finding was changed or withdrawn because it was wrong. An update adds new information, such as a vendor statement or a catalogue entry published after the article, and may date an earlier line that it overtakes. That earlier line is usually left in place, as the record of what the source said when the article was written.

Layout changes that leave the reporting as it was are not listed. The log starts on 1 October 2026; earlier changes are recorded on each article.
