- Incorrect writer attribution or another factual error

What to include
Identify the story, choose the clearest reason, and include links or evidence where relevant. If you are requesting a correction or removal as the writer, tell us the name used on the submission and enough information to verify the request.
What happens next
A story reported through the collection is immediately hidden and moved into the editor's holding pen. We then review it against our editorial standards and contributor terms before restoring, correcting or permanently removing it. Voting popularity never overrides copyright, safety or attribution concerns.
