Corrections

At theeighteenyard, we correct factual errors rather than deleting them. When a substantive error is confirmed, a correction note is appended to the foot of the relevant article. This note will state what was amended and the date of the correction, ensuring a transparent record of the article's accuracy over time.

A substantive correction addresses a verifiable fact that was wrong, such as a match score, a player's transfer history, or a competition format. Minor typographical errors, grammatical fixes, or stylistic updates that do not alter factual meaning are made without a formal note. The distinction ensures the correction log remains a useful record of significant changes.

Readers can report a potential error by providing the full article address and quoting the exact claim they believe is incorrect. This allows for precise verification against primary sources such as official federation communications, match reports, and league data. We aim to investigate and implement any necessary corrections within two business days of receiving a clear report.

For reference pages on theeighteenyard, facts are also updated when the world changes, such as a league changing its name, a stadium undergoing renovation, or a national team's FIFA ranking being officially updated. These are not corrections of previous errors but necessary maintenance. Such updates are made promptly and, where the change is significant, may be noted within the article's text or revision history.

This process applies to all factual content across the site's sections, from Competition and League profiles to National team histories and Player statistics. Our commitment is to provide a reliable, current, and correct resource on the Asian game.
