Report an error
A site that teaches people to check things must be open to being checked itself. That is the point of this page, not a courtesy.
The message goes out through your email software, to the address literacy@odersa.org. It asks for three things: the page concerned, what it says, and what would be right.
If your browser opens no email software, write straight to literacy@odersa.org, giving the address of the page.
What counts as an error
An error, in the sense of this page, is one of these things.
- A wrong date.
- A number that no longer matches its source.
- A dead link.
- A source that has changed address.
- A turn of phrase that suggests something other than what the source says.
- A demonstration that does not behave as the page says it will.
- A technical word used wrongly.
What is not one
Two things are not errors, and are not reported here.
- A disagreement on the substance. That is for discussion, not correction.
- A request to add a subject. That goes through the contact page.
One case stands apart. This site teaches artificial intelligence, a field where the state of knowledge shifts and where some points remain debated. A statement presented as certain, when its source gives it as debated, is an error in the sense of this page. The association wants to know.
What happens next
The report is read. The source is opened again. The page is corrected, then republished. Nobody needs to give their name: no data is kept beyond the correction.
