Help:Fix or report an error
From Judgepedia
There are several ways to fix errors or inaccuracies you notice on Judgepedia.
Contents |
First and best option
The first option to take when you notice an error is to try to fix it yourself. See Getting Started to learn how to edit (fix/improve) articles.
Suggestions for addressing complicated errors
Not all errors are errors of simple fact, grammar or typography. More complicated concerns are about balance, context, tone and fairness. Here are some suggestions for dealing with those concerns.
- Post a note on the article's 'talk' page describing the error or inaccuracy and saying what you think should be done about it. This is an especially good step to take if your objection to the article is not that it has a fact wrong, but is about the tone or balance (fairness) of the article.
- If no one has responded to your talk page comment within a reasonable amount of time, then make the change you feel best addresses your concern on the article itself.
- If your proposed change is likely to be controversial, it is especially helpful to try to talk it through on the talk page first, rather than getting into an "edit war" on the main article.
- If you get into an edit war and would like some help resolving the dispute, you can post a note on Judgepedia:Editorial discussions and ask for someone to weigh in who has a more detached perspective.
- You can also send an email to Judgepedia's managing editor, Michael Tams, at mtams(at)samadamsalliance(dot)org.
Report an error
If you can't fix an error yourself, you can report it. You can:
- Post it on the Ways you can help page. This allows any editor who is around to see it and fix it.
- Contact Judgepedia's executive editor Michael Tams at mtams(at)samadamsalliance(dot)org.
