WildPedia welcomes well-supported corrections and aims to fix meaningful errors clearly and promptly.
What to report
- Incorrect scientific names, ranges, diets, behavior, or conservation status
- Outdated statistics or assessment labels
- Misidentified or misleading images and captions
- Broken or inappropriate source links
- Missing attribution, quotation, or copyright information
- Wording that creates a material safety risk or false impression
How to submit a correction
- Send the exact WildPedia page URL.
- Quote or describe the information you believe is wrong.
- Explain the proposed correction.
- Include a reliable supporting source, preferably a primary or authoritative source.
- State any relevant affiliation or conflict of interest.
How reports are reviewed
We may compare the report with cited materials, seek additional references, contact a subject specialist, or ask the reporter for clarification. Submitting a request does not guarantee that the proposed wording will be adopted.
Types of changes
Minor edit
Spelling, grammar, formatting, broken links, or wording changes that do not alter the factual meaning.
Substantive correction
A change to a meaningful factual claim, identification, statistic, conservation label, quotation, or attribution.
Update
New information that was not available or established when the article was published.
Retraction or removal
Reserved for content that cannot be responsibly corrected, creates serious harm, or infringes rights.
Correction notes
When a substantive error is corrected, the article should include a brief note explaining what changed and the date of correction. Minor copy edits normally do not require a public note.
Appeals
If you disagree with a correction decision, reply with additional evidence and ask for a second review. Editorial independence means requests from individuals or organizations discussed in an article are evaluated using the same evidence standards as other requests.
