Corrections policy

updated 2026-10-22

Anything on starfeed.com can be wrong: a collector can match the wrong person, a translation can miss the point, a source can be mistaken. We would rather be corrected quickly than look infallible. Here is how it works.

How to request a correction

•Every content page has a “Request a correction” button (in the trust block and in the profile infobox). Pick what is wrong, give the correct value, and add a source link if you have one.
•No account is needed. Requests are rate-limited per device and IP to stop abuse; your IP is stored only as a daily-salted hash.
•For a bad translation use “Translation looks wrong”; for a fan contribution use “Report”. Two reports from different devices hide the item until review.

What happens next

•Requests go to the operator queue, where a person reviews them. Outcomes: applied, rejected, or held for more evidence.
•If a briefing sentence is wrong, the briefing is replaced by a new version. The previous version is kept as “superseded” — never deleted.
•Profile facts (name, debut, birth date, agency, category) are fixed in the data, so every page and every language updates together.
•We do not promise a turnaround time; the queue is reviewed regularly and the outcome is visible in the revision history.

Revision history

•Each star has a revision history page linked from the trust block. It lists every briefing version with its status and automatic-check result, and every applied correction with its date.
•Automatic hides (two reports) and automatic rejections (failed checks) are recorded there too.

Removal and privacy

•starfeed.com covers public figures and links to publicly available material. If a page concerns a private person, or material was published unlawfully by the original outlet, use the correction form with “Other” and describe the issue; such requests are reviewed first.
•We do not store personal data about readers beyond what the privacy-preserving contribution system needs (random device id and a daily IP hash).
