What does an editorial hold mean?

An article is temporarily unavailable while its supporting evidence is checked. Its URL explains the hold. This does not establish that every earlier claim was false; restored reporting requires supporting sources.

Q: How do I report an error?

Email hello@smallgoodthings.org with the page URL, the sentence you believe is wrong, and a link to the source. We investigate against the cited primary source and reply when the record changes.

Quick answer

Where does Small Good Things publish corrections?

This log records material corrections and editorial holds. On September 8, 2026, we withheld 255 older stories pending source review and removed unsourced customer-review statistics and offer claims from buying guides and comparisons.

What counts as a correction?

A named fact that does not match its primary source, a source or product URL pointing at the wrong thing, or a review that still treats a discontinued product as a current pick. Spelling fixes that do not change meaning are not logged. We do not bump updatedDate for cosmetic edits.

What is in the log so far?

The entries below describe changes made on September 8 and September 25, 2026. If you have supporting evidence or notice an error, email [email protected].

Date	Page	What changed
September 25, 2026	10 stories	Temporarily withheld stories whose only cited source was an organisation landing page rather than the supporting report. Removed an unsourced sentence claiming officials had verified results from 14 story summaries. Original URLs now explain the review.
September 25, 2026	Buying-guide descriptions	Replaced “strong Amazon ratings” wording in 44 guide descriptions and two quick answers. Our scores are editorial assessments; we do not publish customer-rating statistics without provenance.
September 8, 2026	255 older stories	Temporarily withheld reporting with homepage-only sources or repeated evidence claims requiring confirmation. Original URLs now explain the review; drafts are preserved.
September 8, 2026	Buying guides and comparisons	Removed unsupported customer-review counts, customer star averages and recurring-offer assertions. Editorial scores remain labelled separately.
September 8, 2026	Zion Jerge rescue story	Removed a portrait pending reuse permission. Source reporting and the interview link remain available.

How do I report an error?

Send the canonical URL, the sentence, and a source link. We check the cited primary source first. If we were wrong, we fix the page, set the updated date, and add a row here. If we were right, we will say so and leave the page alone.
