Corrections

If you find an error in a reference page on thethrottlehand, we will correct it rather than delete the content. A substantive correction will be noted at the foot of the article. This note will state what was amended and the date of the change, ensuring a transparent record. Minor typographical errors or formatting issues will be fixed without a note, as they do not alter the factual content of the page.

A correction is considered substantive if it changes a verifiable fact central to the topic. Examples include an incorrect engine specification for a bike model, a wrong material in a piece of gear, or an inaccurately listed rule in a race series. Corrections are not made for matters of opinion, such as a subjective review of a product's performance or the merits of a touring route.

To report an error, please contact us with the full article address and a precise quote of the claim you believe is incorrect. Please also provide a reliable source for the correct information, such as an official manufacturer specification or a governing body's published rulebook. This allows for efficient verification.

We aim to review and verify reported errors within five working days. If the information is confirmed as incorrect, the correction and note will typically be published within two further working days. You will receive a response acknowledging the report once the process is complete.

For reference pages, facts are also updated when the world changes, not only when an error is reported. This includes changes to motorcycle licensing laws, updates to race series regulations, or new safety standards for helmets. Such updates are made as soon as practicable after the change is officially confirmed and are treated as routine maintenance, not corrections, so no footnote is added.
