Corrections Policy

If you believe an article on World Baseball News contains a factual error, please let us know via our Contact page or by emailing worldbaseball.info@gmail.com.

Every correction request is reviewed against reliable, verifiable sources, such as official league data, statistical providers, and other available evidence, before any change is made.

We aim to review and address verified factual errors as quickly and transparently as reasonably possible, but we don't promise a fixed turnaround time, since some requests are quick to confirm and others require more research. Submitting a request also does not guarantee that the requested change will be made; each report is evaluated on the evidence available, and we correct what we can verify as inaccurate.

We distinguish between two kinds of fixes:

• Minor edits, such as spelling, grammar, punctuation, or formatting fixes, which do not affect the substance of a story and do not normally require a visible correction note.
• Material corrections, which affect the meaning or understanding of a story, such as an incorrect name, date, statistic, score, standings, or transaction detail. These are acknowledged where appropriate, as described in How Correction Notes Are Displayed below.

Articles, particularly on developing stories like transactions, injuries, or standings, are sometimes updated as new verified information becomes available. This is a normal part of ongoing sports coverage and is different from a correction: an update adds to or refines a story as it develops, while a correction fixes information that was inaccurate at the time of publication.

Not every update is treated as a correction, and not every correction requires a full rewrite of the surrounding article.

When we make a material correction to a published article, we note it on the article itself where appropriate, describing what was corrected so readers returning to the piece have a clear, transparent record of the change.

Minor edits, as described above, generally do not carry a visible note, since they do not change the substance of the story.
