Corrections

None logged yet — this is where they go the day there is one.

No correction has been issued since this site launched. That's a claim you can hold us to, not a boast — the day a figure, a date, or a beneficiary turns out wrong, it gets fixed and logged here with the date and what changed.

We don't quietly edit a number and move on. The doctrine (see Methodology) is that the record shows its own erasures — a correction that disappears without a trace is worse than the error it fixed.

Think something on this site is wrong? Email it in — see Contact — with the source you're checking it against.

No external citation — this is a statement about our own process, not a claim about anyone else.
