Cómo evaluamos las solicitudes de corrección
Un editor revisa cada solicitud de corrección. Verificamos el reclamo con fuentes originales antes de realizar cualquier cambio. Si la solicitud es válida, actualizamos el artículo. Si no podemos verificarlo o no estamos de acuerdo con el cambio propuesto, respondemos explicando nuestro razonamiento.
Niveles de corrección
1. Corrección de errores tipográficos o de formato
Los errores ortográficos, los enlaces rotos o los problemas de formato que no cambian el significado de un artículo se solucionan de forma silenciosa. No agregamos una nota de corrección para estos.
2. Corrección de hecho
Cuando cambiamos una afirmación objetiva (una fecha, un número, un nombre, una capacidad, una cita) agregamos un Correcciónnota al final del artículo que describe qué se cambió y cuándo. Se elimina el texto original incorrecto; la nota de corrección explica lo que decía anteriormente.
3. Actualización importante
Cuando un artículo cambia materialmente después de su publicación (por ejemplo, cuando se desarrolla la noticia subyacente o una empresa emite una aclaración), agregamos unActualizarnota con la fecha y un resumen de lo que cambió. Esto preserva los informes originales y al mismo tiempo hace que el cronograma sea transparente.
4. Retracción
Si un artículo tiene defectos tan sustanciales que la corrección es insuficiente, lo retractamos. Dejamos la URL activa con un aviso de retractación que explica qué estaba mal y por qué, en lugar de eliminar la página en silencio. Las retractaciones son raras y requieren la aprobación de nuestro editor.
Ediciones cosméticas y de copia.
Las ediciones estilísticas menores (reformular para mayor claridad, ajustar la prosa, ajustar los títulos) no requieren una nota de corrección siempre que se preserve el significado.
Actualizaciones para cambiar información
La IA se mueve rápido. Cuando los precios, las capacidades del modelo o la disponibilidad de funciones cambian después de la publicación, actualizamos los artículos relevantes y los marcamos con la nueva fecha de revisión. No tratamos estas actualizaciones como "correcciones": el artículo original era exacto en la fecha de publicación.
Solicitudes de eliminación de fuentes
Generalmente no eliminamos artículos publicados a pedido, ni siquiera de temas nombrados. Lo consideraremos solo en casos que impliquen coacción legal, amenazas a la seguridad o cuando el informe original en sí fuera sustancialmente erróneo y sea apropiada una retractación.
Derecho de respuesta
Si usted es una persona u organización mencionada en uno de nuestros artículos y cree que lo hemos caracterizado incorrectamente, puede enviar una respuesta. Las respuestas sustanciales y verificables se agregan como una actualización o una nota adjunta a discreción del editor.
