Corrections Desk

The details to include when preparing an evidence-backed correction for an Evening Patio article.

Edition of

A correction note beside a patio article printout, a primary-source bookmark and a pencil.

An effective correction note identifies the article by its stable slug, title and rubrique, then quotes the exact sentence that needs attention.

The strongest evidence is a primary source a reader can open: published safety guidance, a manufacturer instruction document, a regulator notice, a recall notice or a standard. The note should also state the proposed correction and explain how the source supports it.

Substantive corrections receive a dated note in the article. This record lets readers compare the updated guidance with the earlier wording and follow the reasoning behind the change.

Reader questions also help shape future coverage. A question about wind, surface temperature, clearance, cable routing, socket placement or evening lighting can become a focused guide when the underlying decision is shared by many patios.
