Corrections

LossReserves.com exists to be useful to people who have to make decisions about real reserve estimates. That is only possible if we correct mistakes quickly and publicly. This page explains how we handle corrections and keeps the running log of every correction we have issued.

How to report an error

Use the contact form and select the corrections topic. Include the article URL and a short description of the problem. If the issue is quantitative, point to the sentence and to the source you believe is correct.

We reply to every good-faith correction request. If you ask for credit by name, we will include it in the correction note where appropriate.

What counts as a correction

• Factual errors. A claim is wrong, a citation is wrong, a number is wrong, or a standard is misstated. These always trigger a correction.
• Material clarifications. A claim was technically defensible but misleading as written, and a reasonable reader might come to the wrong conclusion. These trigger a clarification note.
• Typos and copyedits. Minor typos and formatting fixes are made silently unless they affected meaning.

How corrections are logged

When an article is corrected, we update the article in place, refresh the modification date, and append a correction note to the bottom of the article describing what was wrong and what is now correct. We then add an entry to the log below with the date, the article, and a short summary.

We do not silently overwrite substantive errors. Once a correction has been logged, it stays in the log.
