Erased and Rewritten: Corrections Log
Last updated
This is the public record of corrections on Feedback & Forgetting. When a fact, a number, a quotation, a source or a replication tag is changed after publication, the change is dated here and at the foot of the page it affects, on the same day.
The log
As of 2026-11-06, no corrections have been logged.
What counts as a correction
A correction is any change to what a page claims: a wrong number, year, sample size, effect size, quotation, DOI or citation; a claim that went further than its source; or a replication tag that no longer fits the evidence. Fixing a typo, a broken link or the layout is not a correction and is not logged.
A tag can change for reasons that have nothing to do with a mistake. A new independent replication may move a claim from single study to replicated or to mixed, a meta-analysis may be published, or a cited paper may be retracted or receive a correction or an expression of concern. Each of these is handled as a correction and logged in the same way. When a tag changes, the old tag and the date it was assigned stay visible in the entry; the earlier verdict is not erased from the record.
How a correction is made
The changed claim is fixed everywhere it appears, not just in the paragraph where the error was found. That includes the short answer at the top of the article, the Study File or replication scorecard, the tag and its scope line, tables, the downloadable CSV and its notes file, the Retrieval check questions, card and page descriptions, and any other page on the site that repeats the claim.
The page's revision date in its Cite this page block moves to the date of the correction. Pages are not silently edited, and earlier entries in this log are never rewritten or removed.
How entries are written
Each correction is one entry in the list above. An entry starts with the date in year-month-day form, links to the page it changed, says in one sentence what was corrected, and ends with the original wording in brackets, in this shape: YYYY-MM-DD — [Page title]: what was changed. (Originally: "the earlier wording".) For a replication tag, the entry also gives the claim, its scope, the old and new tags, and the study that led to the change.
Reporting an error
If something looks wrong, email contact@feedbackandforgetting.com with the page, the sentence and the evidence (ideally a DOI or a page number). Raise a hand has the details, and From paper to tag explains how tags are decided. No reply time is promised, but reports that check out end up in this log.
