Questions answered in this file

Are corrections always attached to the original article?

No. They may appear separately, in later issues, in editor's notes, or in subsequent coverage.

Does a failed archive search prove no correction exists?

No. State the dates, editions, and search limitations, including OCR and missing holdings.

Does one correction invalidate the entire article?

Not automatically. Assess the precise change and which claims depend on the corrected information.

Should I preserve the erroneous version?

Keep it in the controlled research record with the correction linked, while avoiding unnecessary public repetition of false details.

How should a draft be updated?

Find all dependent claims, revise them to reflect the supported correction, and document a material publication change transparently.
