You don't need to have a 'real' question — a source correction is just as welcome as anything else.

We read it

A real person reads every message; nothing here is automated triage.

We check it

If it's a factual or attribution correction, we verify it against a source before changing anything.

We reply if needed

If you asked a question, we reply by email; corrections may just show up as an update to the guide.

We do not publish an email address, so this form is the fastest route to a person. We are not a crisis service and we cannot provide care, counselling, or clinical, legal or financial advice.
