Corrections & Feedback

How to report inaccurate, insensitive, duplicated, broken or unclear wording, source problems, privacy concerns and technical issues in this resource.

Words around death deserve careful review. If you find a factual error, a broken page, insensitive wording, a privacy concern, or an example that does not fit the stated situation, please use the site’s normal contact channel and include the page URL plus the exact sentence.

What we correct

We correct factual mistakes, broken examples, unsafe assumptions, repeated or mislabeled wording, unclear guidance, navigation problems and source links that no longer support the stated principle.

Update dates

We change visible update dates when the material or site experience has changed in a meaningful way. We do not refresh dates every day merely to make older guidance appear new.

Correction priority

We prioritize issues that could mislead a grieving reader, expose private information, misstate a sensitive situation, break a page or send someone to an outdated source. Cosmetic preferences are lower priority than accuracy, sensitivity, privacy and usability.

What to include in a useful report

Send the exact page URL, the sentence or component involved, what appears wrong and—when the issue is factual or source-related—the evidence that supports the correction.

How corrections are made

We try to fix the underlying source of a problem so it does not continue across related pages. That may mean correcting a relationship profile, rewriting an example, updating a source reference or repairing navigation.

Update dates

Dates are changed for substantive editorial or site updates. We do not refresh dates every day merely to make older guidance appear new.

Quality corrections

A correction can be structural as well as factual. Missing context, repeated examples, unclear source notes, insensitive wording, broken navigation and misleading update dates are all issues worth fixing.

What happens after a report

The relevant wording, source reference, relationship profile or shared component is corrected so the same problem does not persist elsewhere. Substantive updates receive an updated editorial date; unchanged pages are not refreshed simply for appearance.
