Corrections

At jointandgrain, we correct factual errors rather than deleting content. When a substantive error is confirmed, a correction note is appended to the foot of the relevant article. This note states what was amended and the date of the change, preserving the transparency of the editorial process. The original text is updated to reflect the accurate information.

A substantive correction is made for errors of fact that affect understanding, such as incorrect dimensions, historical dates, material properties, or construction steps. Minor typographical errors, grammatical slips, or stylistic tweaks are made silently as part of routine maintenance and do not receive a published note.

To report an error, please provide the full web address of the article and quote the exact claim you believe is incorrect. Clarity here allows for efficient verification. We aim to investigate and, where necessary, implement any substantive correction within five working days of receiving a clear report.

For reference pages on furniture types, materials, or standards, facts are also corrected when the world changes. This includes updates to safety regulations, shifts in sustainable sourcing certifications, or the reclassification of a material based on new industry consensus. Such changes are treated as substantive corrections and are noted accordingly at the article foot.

This approach ensures the jointandgrain library remains a reliable, evolving resource, prioritising accurate construction knowledge over static perfection.
