In short: if we get something wrong, tell us and we will fix it in the open. Material errors get a dated note at the bottom of the article saying what was wrong. We aim to assess every report within 3 business days.
Correction, update or clarification
These three words get used loosely. At Kwyper they mean different things and are handled differently.
- Correction. Something we published was wrong when we published it. A wrong price, a wrong power figure, a misspelled name, a misattributed quote, a race result we reported incorrectly. Corrections always get a visible, dated note.
- Update. The article was right at the time and the world has since moved. A car went on sale, a price rose, a penalty changed a classification. We add the new information and change the updated date. This is not an error and does not get a correction note.
- Clarification. The facts were right but the wording could be read the wrong way. We rewrite the passage and, if the original reading could have misled someone, add a short note explaining what changed.
How to report an error
Email [email protected] with Correction in the subject line, or use the contact form and pick Correction as the topic. Please tell us the article, the sentence or figure you think is wrong, what it should say, and where you saw the correct information. A link to a manufacturer page or an official results sheet gets it fixed much faster than a note saying something looks off.
What we promise
- We assess every report within 3 business days and tell you what we concluded, even when the answer is that the article was right.
- Clear factual errors are fixed as soon as we have confirmed them, usually the same day.
- A material error, meaning one that could have changed what a reader thought or did, gets a dated correction note at the bottom of the article. We do not delete the mistake and pretend it never happened.
- Small typing and spelling fixes are made silently, because nobody needs a note about a missing letter.
- If the error was in a headline or in a social post, we correct that too.
The format we use
A correction note at the foot of an article looks like this:
Correction, 16 September 2026: An earlier version of this article said the car had 320 horsepower. The figure for the European specification is 300 horsepower. Corrected.
Each note says what we got wrong, what the right answer is and the date we fixed it. If a reader reported it and is happy to be named, we thank them.
When an article is withdrawn
Taking an article down is a last resort. We do it only when the piece is wrong in a way that cannot be fixed by editing, when it creates a legal or safety risk, or when a source turns out to be fabricated. When we withdraw one, the web address keeps working and shows a short note explaining that the article was withdrawn, when and why. We do not remove an article because a company dislikes it.
Our wider standards are in the Editorial Policy, and copyright complaints go through the Copyright and DMCA page instead of this one.
