Types of Corrections
At GentleSoul.com, our content is based on thorough research from credible third-party sources, which we strive to verify. However, we recognize that errors can occur. We classify corrections into two categories:
- Minor Errors: These include typographical mistakes, formatting issues, or small factual inaccuracies that do not significantly change the meaning of the content. Minor errors will be corrected as soon as they are identified.
- Major Errors: These involve incorrect or incomplete information that could mislead readers or significantly alter their understanding of the topic. This may include misinterpreted research findings or outdated data. Major errors will be prioritized for immediate correction and may include a public note explaining the changes made.
Both types of errors are addressed promptly to ensure our content remains accurate, trustworthy, and aligned with our commitment to transparency.
