Our corrections to our 2022 and 2023 articles

Providing reliable, quality and free information to our readers, this is the commitment of 20 minutes. Sometimes, however, the error slips through. In accordance with our charter and the code of good practices of the International fact-checking network (IFCN), we undertake to rectify our errors and to indicate these rectifications.

Mention of these corrections appears at the beginning of the article, in bolder type than the body of the text, with details of the corrections. The title may also be modified in certain cases. We have had this policy since 2017.

We publish on this page our corrections for 2022 and 2023. You will find here the list of corrections for 2021, here that of 2019 and 2020 and finally here that of 2017 and 2018.

You can notify us of a factual error using this form. A team will take charge of the request and check if it is indeed an error, in which case the correction will be made. If it is a question of a disagreement with the choice of the treated subject, the form, or the expression of a personal opinion by the reader on the subject, it will not be carried out of follow-up, the request entering not within the framework of the rectification of an error.

We use two types of corrections, EDIT and CORRECTION.

EDIT: As part of a clarification, additional info, or new information that made us revise the article. We also use an EDIT for archival articles that we reassemble to give the context of this new publication.

CORRECTION: As part of an error reported and corrected. A mention is affixed at the beginning of the article, in a clear and legible manner. The corrigendum may be present in the title if it concerns major information on the paper, but not necessarily, especially if the error relates only to one aspect of the paper.

In the context where the information at the very source of the paper is inaccurate, the article must be entirely reproduced and we must point out that we have made a mistake previously. The text of the corrigendum links to a second article which explains the error and the correction.

Only CORRIGENDUMS and not EDITS are listed in this article.

Corrections 2023 (in progress)

Fixes 2022

July 2022

CORRECTION: Reacting to a first erroneous version of this article, the Lidl press service clarified that the brand would not market the vehicle, neither for sale nor for rental.

June 2022

CORRECTION. On June 17, we relayed the publications of a Twitter account that was not that of #SaccageParis. We explained in this article that the citizens’ movement had shown its support for two candidates in the second round of the legislative elections: Pierre-Yves Bournazel (Together!) and Brigitte Kuster (Les Républicains) in the 18th and 4th constituencies of Paris. However, #SaccageParisOff has since informed us of this error and explained that it did not give any instructions for these elections.

April 2022

CORRECTION: First announced dead by the Italian press that we have quoted, Mino Raiola is alive but in very critical condition according to his relatives. This article has been revised accordingly. Seriously ill Mino Raiola will finally die on April 30, 2021.

March 2022

CORRECTION of March 2, 2022 [à 14h55] : Contrary to what we announced to you a few minutes earlier on the basis of a source close to the investigation, Yvan Colonna’s lawyer denied the death of the Corsican independence activist. He is in a critical condition between life and death after his attack.
