Our Commitment to Accuracy At Grand Old Team, we take our responsibility to the Everton community seriously. While we strive to publish accurate, thoroughly verified, and up-to-date information regarding Everton Football Club, we acknowledge that mistakes can happen in the fast-paced environment of football news and matchday coverage. Our Corrections Policy outlines our commitment to transparency and our process for rectifying factual errors quickly and clearly.
What We Correct This policy applies to all editorial content published on the main GrandOldTeam website, including news reports, match previews, and feature articles. We are committed to correcting factual inaccuracies. For instance, if an article misreports a player’s contract length, misquotes a managerial press conference, or mistakenly states an upcoming home fixture is taking place at Goodison Park rather than Hill Dickinson Stadium stadium, we will amend the text to reflect the facts.
(Please note: This policy applies to editorial content. Opinions expressed in columns are the subjective views of the author, and user-generated content on our forum is moderated separately according to our Forum Rules.)
How to Report an Error If you spot a factual error in one of our articles, we want to hear from you. We rely on the vigilance of our community to help us maintain the highest standards.
- Email: Please contact our editorial team directly at [email protected] with the subject line “Correction Request.”
- Include Details: Please include a link to the specific article, a brief description of the error, and, if possible, a credible source pointing to the correct information.
- Forum: Registered users can also flag errors to site moderators via the relevant article discussion thread on the forum.
How We Handle Corrections Once an error is reported or discovered by our team, we will take the following steps:
- Verification: Our editorial team will review the claim and verify the accurate information.
- Immediate Update: If an error is confirmed, we will update the article’s text immediately to correct the mistake.
- Transparency Note: For significant factual errors that alter the context or understanding of a news story, we will append an “Editor’s Note” or “Correction” to the bottom of the article. This note will transparently explain what was changed and when the correction was made (e.g., “Correction: A previous version of this article incorrectly stated…”).
- Minor Edits: Minor typographical errors, spelling mistakes, or broken links that do not change the factual meaning of the story will be amended without a formal editor’s note.
