The Expert Editor publishes editorial content alongside our professional editing services. We hold that content to the same standard we apply when editing our clients’ work — and when we get something wrong, we fix it.

This page explains how we handle errors, updates, and reader feedback across our editorial blog.

How We Handle Errors

If we discover a factual error, an incorrect statistic, a misattributed claim, or a broken source link, we correct it directly in the article. We don’t leave wrong information up while we work out what to do about it.

For significant corrections — anything that changes the meaning or substance of an article — we add a note at the bottom explaining what was changed and when. This way, readers who saw the original version know what’s different.

Minor fixes like typos, broken formatting, or small wording improvements are made without annotation. These don’t affect the substance of what was published.

Ongoing Quality Reviews

Corrections aren’t only reactive. We periodically review published articles to check that source links still work, that referenced research hasn’t been retracted or superseded, and that the information holds up over time.

Articles that draw on published research — for example, our pieces on the psychology of writing habits, procrastination, and creative blocks — get extra scrutiny here. Research moves quickly, and what was the best understanding two years ago may have been updated or challenged since.

Reporting an Error

If you find something wrong in one of our articles, we want to hear about it. A broken link, a statistic that doesn’t match its source, a name spelled incorrectly, a claim that doesn’t seem right — all of it is useful.

Reach us via our contact page. If possible, include the article URL and a brief description of the issue; that helps us find and fix it faster.

We review all feedback. Not every suggestion results in a change, but we take each one seriously and respond where appropriate.

Content Removal

In rare cases an article may be removed entirely — if a source turns out to be fundamentally unreliable, if the article can’t be corrected without a complete rewrite, or if continuing to host the content would be irresponsible. We don’t take articles down lightly, but accuracy matters more than keeping a page live.

Who Is Responsible

Corrections are handled by the editors responsible for this site’s editorial content, listed on our Masthead. For more on how we approach accuracy and sourcing, see our Editorial Standards.
