Corrections and feedback

Reporting an error

If you think something FAQSIR published is wrong, email [email protected] and include:

• the address of the page;
• what is wrong, quoting the words or figures if you can;
• what you believe is correct, and where that can be checked.

Anyone can report an error. You do not need an account, and you do not need to be the company concerned.

What we do with a report

We compare the coverage with the announcement it was generated from. That tells us which of two kinds of error it is.

If our coverage gets the announcement wrong — a figure, a name or a claim the announcement does not make — we correct it, either by editing the article or by generating it again from the announcement. If it cannot be corrected, we take it down.

If the announcement itself is wrong, our coverage repeats it. Figures, forecasts and other claims are the announcement's, not FAQSIR's. FAQSIR does not independently verify them. Only the company can correct its announcement, and we will tell you so.

While we look into a report, we may take the article off the newswire and other listings. Its own address stays live while we do, so a link to it keeps working.

How corrections appear

A corrected article is updated at its existing address, so links to it keep working and lead to the corrected version. An article we take down is no longer available at its address.

A corrected article carries a correction notice near the foot of the page, beside its disclaimer. Each entry gives the date of the correction and says what was wrong and what the article now says. The notice stays on the article, and the article's last-updated date moves with it.

If you reported the error, we will also tell you what we changed.

Other feedback

For feedback that is not about an error — something unclear, missing or unfair in how we cover announcements — use the same address, [email protected]. Our editorial standards describe how coverage is produced, and are the standards we hold it to.
