How to report an error

If you spot a factual mistake in any AltcoinReporter article, please tell us. We take every report seriously and review each one within 24 hours during business days.

When reporting an error, please include:

• The URL of the article
• The specific claim or statement you believe is incorrect
• The correct information, where possible
• A source or reference supporting the correction (links, official statements, primary sources)

Send corrections to info@altcoinreporter.com with the subject line "Correction Request" so we can route it to the editorial team quickly.

Our review process

Once a correction is reported, our editorial team verifies the claim against original sources. This typically involves checking primary documents, official announcements, on-chain data, regulatory filings, or contacting the parties involved.

We aim to respond to all correction requests within 24 hours during business days. Where verification takes longer, such as when we need to contact a third party or wait for an official statement, we will acknowledge receipt and provide an estimated timeline.

If the reported error is confirmed, we update the article and add a clear correction notice. If the claim cannot be substantiated or the original reporting was accurate, we explain our reasoning to the reporter.

Types of post-publication updates

Not every change to a published article is a correction. We distinguish between three types of updates, each labelled differently to keep the record clear.

How corrections appear on articles

When an article has been corrected, updated, clarified, or retracted, we add a clearly visible notice at the top or bottom of the affected article. The notice includes:

1. The date of the change
2. What was changed and why
3. The original incorrect statement, where the correction involves a specific factual error
4. The corrected statement

For example, a correction notice might read: "Correction (May 9, 2026): An earlier version of this article stated the protocol launched in 2022. It launched in 2021. The article has been updated to reflect this."

We do not silently edit articles to remove errors. Transparency about what changed and when is more important than appearing infallible.

Significant corrections

Where a correction materially changes the central claim, conclusion, or impression of an article, we go further than just adding a notice. In these cases we may:

• Update the article headline if the original was inaccurate
• Notify readers via our newsletter or social channels
• Republish corrected articles as news items if the original was widely shared
• Apply a "Significant correction" label rather than a standard correction notice

Our goal is that anyone who read the original incorrect article has a reasonable chance of seeing the correction.

Editorial independence in corrections

Correction decisions are made by the editorial team based on factual accuracy alone. We do not remove or amend accurate reporting because the subject of an article objects to it, threatens legal action, or offers commercial inducement.

Where a subject of coverage disputes our reporting, we offer them an opportunity to respond and may publish their statement. The original article remains accessible if our reporting is verified to be accurate.

Sponsored content and press releases are governed by separate rules and are clearly labelled as such on the site. They are not subject to the same editorial process and are not corrected through this policy unless they contain factual claims about our publication or staff.

Record of significant corrections

For accountability, we maintain an internal log of all significant corrections, retractions, and material updates. While individual corrections appear on the affected articles, readers may request information about our corrections record by emailing the editorial team.

This policy is reviewed annually and updated as needed. Last updated: May 2026.
