Corrections & Clarifications

Our commitment

Editorial credibility starts with how a publication handles being wrong. TheDigitalWise commits to four things: prompt acknowledgement, public visibility, dated record-keeping, and direct response to every credible correction request.

Whether it's a misspelled name, a wrong release year, or a misquoted line, we treat factual accuracy as a baseline obligation. Critical disagreements (you didn't like our verdict, we didn't pick up on a theme you saw) are not corrections — they're discussion, and we welcome those too, but separately.

What counts as a correction

• Factual errors: wrong year, wrong director, misspelled actor, incorrect runtime, wrong streaming platform.
• Misquotes: a line attributed to the film that isn't in the film, or a quote attributed to a director that they didn't say.
• Misidentifications: wrong character credit, wrong cinematographer, wrong country of origin.
• Outdated availability: a "currently streaming on Netflix" claim that no longer holds.
• Calculation errors in Wise Scores: if our pillar-average math is wrong, we fix the score with a revision note.

What doesn't count as a correction

Disagreement with a verdict, frustration that we didn't praise a film you love, or a different reading of a scene — these are critical exchanges, not factual corrections. We respond to them via the letters page, not via the corrections process.

A critic's opinion of a performance is their job; we don't "correct" verdicts simply because they were unpopular.
