Corrections policy

How to report an error

Email hello@viceatlas.com with:

• The article URL
• The specific claim or sentence you believe is wrong
• What the correct information is, and (if available) a source

You can also DM @ViceAtlasgg on X for time-sensitive issues. Email is preferred because it gives us a clean trail and a documented response.

Response timeline

• Acknowledgment: within 24 hours of the report landing in our inbox.
• Review and decision: same business day for clear factual errors; up to 72 hours for claims that require independent verification.
• Publication of the correction: immediately after the decision, with the original article updated and a correction note added inline.

What we correct

We correct three categories of error:

• Factual errors — wrong dates, wrong names, misquoted statements, misattributed sources, miscounted statistics.
• Sourcing errors — claims that turn out to lack the supporting source we represented as backing them. If our source was a leak or rumor we treated as confirmed, that is a sourcing error.
• Material context errors — when a true claim was presented in a way that materially misled the reader (selective quote, missing context, inverted causation).

What we do not correct

Editorial opinion is not corrected unless the underlying facts change. If you disagree with our analysis, you can email us and (if your case is strong) we may publish a follow-up — but we do not retract opinions on request.

Personal preference does not get corrected. We will not change tone, voice, or framing simply because a subject of coverage wishes we had. We will correct factual claims about that subject if they are wrong.

How a correction is published

For corrected articles:

• The original wrong claim is updated in the article body. The correct claim replaces it.
• A Correction note is added at the top of the article body, dated, summarizing what was wrong and what it was changed to.
• The article's updatedAt timestamp is set to the correction date.
• The change is logged below in the public corrections log.

We do not silently rewrite published facts. The correction note stays on the article permanently — it is part of the historical record.

Retraction

In rare cases where an entire article is so wrong it cannot be salvaged by inline correction (for example, the central premise turns out to be false), we retract it. A retracted article is replaced with a single-page retraction notice that:

• States the article has been retracted
• Explains why
• Preserves the original URL so all incoming links resolve to the retraction notice rather than 404

Right to be forgotten

Private individuals named in coverage can request removal of their name. We comply when:

• The named person is not a public figure
• The naming was incidental to the story
• Removing the name does not materially compromise the article

Public figures (Rockstar leadership, voice actors, journalists, crew leaders with public profiles) cannot use this process to remove names from coverage of their public roles.

DMCA and copyright

Copyright takedown requests should be sent to hello@viceatlas.com with the subject line "DMCA Notice" and the standard DMCA elements (identification of the work, identification of the allegedly infringing material, contact information, good-faith statement, and attestation under penalty of perjury). We respond within 48 hours.

Public corrections log

Every correction is logged below with the date, article, summary of the error, and the corrected version. The log is append-only.

No corrections logged yet. This section will populate as corrections are made.
