Corrections
How to report an error, and what we do about it.
Why this page exists
Hiddencorners covers remote places whose access rules, prices, seasons and safety situations change without notice — and it does so from desk research. Errors are not hypothetical here. They are a normal cost of the format, and the only responsible answer is to make them easy to report and visible when fixed.
How to report an error
Email osokheng168.03@gmail.com with the page, the sentence, and — if you have it — the source that shows we are wrong. You do not need to be polite about it.
What happens next
- Every report is read.
- The claim is re-checked against an authoritative source, not against the source that produced the error.
- If we were wrong, the page is corrected in place — we do not quietly delete and repost.
- The "last updated" date on the article changes.
What gets a visible correction notice
- Material corrections — a fact, figure, safety statement, price, permit rule, season or access route that was wrong — are noted at the foot of the article with the date of the change.
- Minor edits — typos, grammar, broken links, formatting — are fixed without a notice.
What we will not do
- Remove a correction notice to make an article look cleaner.
- Rewrite history by silently editing a claim we defended.
- Refuse to correct something because it is inconvenient.
Correction log
This site published its first entries on . The following corrections were made during the source-verification pass carried out in August 2026, in which every cited URL was reopened and checked against the claim it supports. They are logged here on . None was malicious; all were ours.
- Slims River — misattributed quotation. A pull-quote was credited to a university press release that does not contain it. The words are John Clague’s, speaking to Hakai Magazine, and the article now says so and links there instead. Read the dossier.
- Žuvintas — wrong paper cited. A cited study turned out to examine a different lake. The citation and the claim that rested on it were both removed and replaced with sources that address Žuvintas itself. Read the dossier.
- Derinkuyu — shelter count did not match its source. A figure for the number of shelters was sourced to a page giving a different number. The figure was corrected to what the cited source actually states. Read the dossier.
- Foula — the airstrip and the air service confused. This dossier described the airstrip as running “under a public service obligation contract funded by Shetland Islands Council”, which merged two separate arrangements. The airstrip is operated by the Foula Airstrip (Number 2) Trust; the inter-island air service is specified by ZetTrans and flown by Airtask under a public service obligation. Both are now cited separately, and the Wikipedia citation that carried the error has been replaced. Read the dossier.
- Toraigh — a source we said did not exist. This dossier stated that no Irish government page gave the island’s census population. That was wrong: the Central Statistics Office publishes it in Census 2022 table F1019, which records 141 residents in 2022 against 119 in 2016. The table is now the citation. Read the dossier.
- Four Wikipedia citations, across three dossiers, breached our editorial policy. Foula (twice), Lítla Dímun and Toraigh carried Wikipedia references. All four have been replaced with primary sources — the Scottish charity register, ZetTrans, Promote Shetland, the Government of the Faroe Islands, a 2025 paper in BMC Genomic Data, and the Central Statistics Office. Where a claim rested on the Wikipedia framing rather than on the primary record, the claim was rewritten to match what the primary source actually says.
Corrections found after this date are added here and shown, dated, at the foot of the article concerned. Where a correction changed a figure that also appears in a dossier’s method note, the method note records the old value as well as the new one.
