THE OPEN RECORD · READER AS CORRECTOR

Bring the source
close enough to inspect.

A good-faith challenge is not disloyalty to the work. It is one way the House keeps faith with the truth.

WHAT TO INCLUDE

A claim, a location, and a reason.

  1. 01

    Name the claim.

    Quote the wording as precisely as you can and tell us where it appears.

  2. 02

    Bring the strongest source.

    Link or identify the primary text, scholarship, or counterevidence that changes the boundary.

  3. 03

    State what you think should happen.

    Retain, narrow, correct, or withdraw—and why.

THE COVENANT

Admissible good-faith submissions receive a disposition.

Spam, abuse, threats, and submissions unrelated to a public claim are outside the record. Everything else is tested under the same method, including corrections of our corrections.
