Corrections Policy

XtendedView fixes mistakes on the page where they appear. A how-to step that fails on the build it names, a statistic that does not match its source, or a broken link are all worth reporting, and every report is checked against the source or the software itself.

How to report a mistake

Email tushar@xtendedview.com, or use the routes on our contact page. Include three things:

• the link to the page;
• the exact step, sentence or number you think is wrong;
• a source that shows the correct version, or the Windows, Android or app version you tried the step on.

A report without a source is still checked. It may take longer, because we have to find the evidence ourselves.

What happens next

We aim to reply within three working days. An editor then checks the claim. For a figure, that means going back to the organization that published it. For a procedure, it means running the step again on the build the guide names. If the report holds up, the page is corrected and the record of sources behind it is updated to match.

If the page turns out to be right, we reply and say why, with the source we relied on.

Corrections, updates and small fixes

Corrections. When a fix changes a figure, a conclusion or a step that a reader may have relied on, a short note goes at the end of the section it affects. It starts with “Correction” and the date, and says what changed.

Updates. Statistics pages are revised when their sources publish new figures, and guides are re-tested when the software they describe changes a step. New data and rewritten sections move the page’s Updated date.

Small fixes. A typo, a broken link, a formatting slip or clearer wording that leaves the meaning unchanged gets no note and leaves the Updated date as it was. The date shows when the content last changed in a way that matters to you, not when someone last touched the page.

Quotes and cited material

A quotation is never reworded to fix it. If a quoted statement or a cited document contains an error, we leave it as published and add the accurate figure beside it with its source.

Pages we can no longer keep accurate

We do not delete a page to hide a mistake. When a topic can no longer be backed by current sources, or a guide no longer works on any supported version, the page is retired rather than left up with a new date on it.

If you disagree

Reply to our answer with your evidence. Tushar Thakur, who founded the site, will look at the report again and reply with the outcome.
