Corrections
This site corrects errors visibly. When a factual error is found on any page, the page is corrected, its last-verified date is updated, and an entry is added to this log stating what was wrong, what it was corrected to, and when.
How to report an error
Use the form below. Reports that identify the page, the claim, and the evidence are actionable immediately; reports that identify a violated methodology rule are equally welcome, since the standards are published precisely to be enforced. The form is processed by this site’s host; no account, tracker, or third-party script is involved, and an email address is optional and used only to follow up on the report.

Newest first. This section will never be emptied: a correction, once logged, stays logged.
2026-08-11: site-wide verification pass
A review re-checked every quantitative and dated claim on the site against its cited source. Four errors were found and corrected, all of them in the 2025 and 2026 material rather than the historical content. Each is stated below as it stood, and as it now reads.
1. Freedom in the World scores, on the evidence page. The page reported the United States at 81 of 100, down three points, and added that this was “the sharpest single-year decline among all countries rated Free” and the country’s “lowest score since the current scale began in 2002.” The score and the three-point decline are in the report. Neither superlative is. Both have been removed, and the entry now states only the score and the change. This was the most serious error found: a real source was asked to carry claims it does not make.
2. Deaths in immigration detention, on the evidence page. The page reported “33 deaths in 2025 alone, the highest annual total in more than two decades outside the pandemic.” Human Rights Watch reports thirty-nine deaths in the administration’s first year, January 20, 2025 to January 19, 2026, and records that figure as the highest annual total since ICE was established in 2003, without the pandemic qualifier this site had added. The number, the period, and the comparison were all wrong, and the error understated the finding it cited.
3. Publication year of Goldberg’s Liberal Fascism, on the left-fascism page. Given as 2007 in the text and in the bibliography record. The book was published in January 2008. Corrected in both places.
4. The date of Robert Paxton’s reversal, on the timeline. The timeline dated the reversal to October 2024, which is when the profile this site cited was published. Paxton reversed his position on January 11, 2021, five days after the Capitol attack, in a Newsweek column. The timeline is corrected, the debate page now cites that column as the primary source alongside the later profile, and the column has been added to the bibliography.
Two further changes were made in the same pass. The account of the Golden Dawn trial on the postwar page implied the trial opened with the murder of Pavlos Fyssas; the murder took place in September 2013 and the trial ran from 2015 to 2020, and the page now says so, matching the more precise wording already used in the movements catalog. And the evidence page was citing three sources in its text that its own metadata did not declare, which meant those citations were not covered by the build’s verification step; the metadata now lists them.
What the pass did not find is worth recording too, since a corrections log that reports only failures misdescribes the site’s state. The historical sections, the regime catalog, the definitions, and the scholarly frameworks were checked claim by claim without an error surfacing, as were the V-Dem, Bright Line Watch, European Parliament, Hungarian, Dutch, and Romanian figures in the contemporary material, and the Supreme Court holding in Louisiana v. Callais.
