Corrections Policy

How factual, data and evidence corrections are handled across the site.

Corrections should improve the knowledge graph, not hide the change

When a factual error or outdated time-sensitive fact is identified, the relevant page should be corrected and connected data reviewed so the same error does not remain elsewhere on the site.

What counts as a correction

Examples include an incorrect record time, outdated record holder, wrong equipment-supplier status, inaccurate rule description, mischaracterized research finding or broken internal relationship.

Time-sensitive updates versus errors

A record that was correct on its stated verification date but later changed is normally an update, not necessarily an original error. Pages designed around live data display verification dates for this reason.

Primary-source conflicts

If SpeedClimbing.com conflicts with a current governing record table, competition rule, manufacturer safety document or original research paper, the authoritative source takes precedence and our page should be revised.

Research corrections

If a study summary overstates causality, ignores an important limitation or incorrectly transfers broader climbing evidence to Speed, both the summary and any downstream Training or Technique claims should be reviewed.

Reporting an issue

Readers can use the Contact page to report a suspected error. Helpful reports identify the URL, disputed statement and supporting source.
