Corrections Policy

Mistakes happen, especially in fields that move as fast as technology and markets. What matters is fixing them quickly and openly. This page sets out how we do that.

Reporting an error

Email hello@scottspray.com with the address of the page, the passage you believe is wrong and, where you can, a link to a reliable source. Reports from anyone are welcome; you don't need to be an expert.

How reports are reviewed

  1. We check the claim against the original source or the most authoritative one available.
  2. If the article is wrong or misleading, we correct it.
  3. If it is right but unclear, we rewrite the passage so it can't be misread.
  4. If we disagree, we reply and explain why.

Errors that could cause someone to lose money or break a rule — a wrong description of a cost, a legal requirement or a risk — are treated as a priority.

How corrections are shown

Small fixes such as typos or broken links are made without comment. When a correction changes the meaning of a statement, the article's update date is changed and, where it helps readers, a short note explains what was corrected.

Updates versus corrections

Sometimes an article was accurate when written but the world has moved on: a product changes, a rule is revised, a service closes. In those cases we update or rewrite the page rather than labelling it as an error.

What we won't change

We don't remove accurate information about risks or downsides at the request of companies mentioned in an article.

How we write

From question to guide

  1. Start with a question

    Each article answers something a reader actually needs to know.

  2. Check the source

    Documentation, rules and official material first — no invented numbers.

  3. Name the risks

    Costs, legal limits and downsides go in the main text, not the small print.

  4. Revisit

    Pages are rewritten when tools, prices or rules change.
