tradiviorTradivior aims to be accurate, transparent and willing to revise its work when the evidence requires it.
What we correct
We correct factual errors, inaccurate dates, misidentified places or practices, broken or misleading source attributions, material transcription errors, unsupported statements presented too strongly, and other mistakes that could change a reader’s understanding.
Minor edits
Spelling, grammar, formatting, broken links and other changes that do not alter meaning may be corrected without a formal correction note.
Material corrections
When an error materially affects an argument, Evidence Profile or conclusion, the article should be amended and the correction made transparent. Where appropriate, the update may explain what changed and why.
New evidence is not always a correction
An article can have been accurate when published and later require revision because better research, new archaeology or improved historical scholarship becomes available. In that case we treat the change as an evidence update rather than implying that the original article necessarily contained an error.
Conclusions can change
Tradivior conclusions are evidence-based editorial assessments, not permanent verdicts. If the underlying record changes substantially, an assessment such as “Scientifically Plausible” or “Evidence Unclear” may be revised. The Evidence Profile should change with it where relevant.
Requests for correction
Readers, researchers and community members may flag possible errors through Tradivior’s contact or contribution channels once those channels are enabled. Useful correction requests identify the specific statement at issue and, where possible, provide a reliable source that supports the proposed change.
Disagreement is not automatically an error
Historical and cultural questions can support competing scholarly interpretations. We may update an article to represent a credible alternative more fairly without treating the existence of disagreement as proof that one side is factually wrong.
