The Cagle Diaries is dedicated to providing accurate and reliable information. We understand that errors can happen, and we are committed to correcting them promptly and transparently.

- If possible, a source to verify the correct information.
- My Correction Process:
- Verification: I will thoroughly investigate all reported errors.
- Correction: If the error is verified, I will correct it as quickly as possible.
- Transparency: I will clearly indicate that a correction has been made, along with the date and a brief explanation of the correction. This can be done in one of the following ways:
- For Minor Errors (typos, grammar): A small editor's note at the bottom of the post: "CORRECTION: [Date] - A typo in ingredient X has been corrected."
- For Significant Errors (incorrect measurements, misleading information): A prominent notice at the top of the post: "CORRECTION: [Date] - This recipe has been updated to correct an inaccurate measurement. The original recipe called for X, but the correct amount is Y. We apologize for any inconvenience." The original incorrect information should be struck through (using <del> or <s> tags in HTML) but still visible. Then follow with the updated, correct information.
- For Major Errors (requiring substantial revision): The post might be temporarily taken down for revision and then re-published with a clear explanation of the changes.
- Commitment to Accuracy: I are committed to learning from my mistakes and improving my fact-checking and editorial processes to prevent future errors.
