When something we published turns out to be wrong, we fix it on the page and add a dated note saying what it said and what the source says. We never change a fact quietly. This page collects every one of those notes, newest first, and updates itself.
28 corrections on 27 pages so far. Spot something wrong? Tell us and we will check it against the source.
What counts: a date, time, price, address or claim that was wrong when we published it, or became wrong and we were slow to catch. New information (a schedule announced, an event added) is an update, not a correction, and is not listed here. How we check facts: editorial standards.
