Corrections

The HY Times corrects errors of fact promptly, and in plain view. A correction runs on this page and, where the error appeared in a specific article, on that article as well. We do not quietly edit the record and hope no one noticed; the entire point of a correction is that someone did.

To request one, write to corrections@hytimes.com or call the newsroom at (323) 141-2500. Tell us what we got wrong and, if you can, how you know. We check every request, including the ones that turn out to be right about us.

A correction fixes a mistake of fact — a wrong name, date, number, or place. A clarification is a different thing: the facts were right, but our wording left room to misread them. We label the two separately, because the difference matters to us even on the days it matters to no one else.

  A July 14 photograph from the reopening of the Selma Avenue branch library identified the dog cutting the ribbon as a golden retriever. He is a Nova Scotia duck tolling retriever named Marquee, and his owner has asked us to note the difference.

  A June 29 feature on the El Capitan’s summer revival series gave the theater’s opening year as 1925. The El Capitan opened in 1926. The HY Times, which did open in 1925, should have known the difference and is now feeling its age.

  A June 12 article about the Franklin Avenue farmers market misspelled the name of vendor Aoife Ní Bhraonáin as “Neena Brannan.” This is the second time the Times has misspelled Ms. Ní Bhraonáin’s name and the second time we have promised it will be the last. It is spelled correctly above, and we intend to keep it that way.

  The May 31 box score for the Hollywood Little League semifinal transposed two lines: the Cahuenga Coyotes scored four runs in the third inning and one in the fifth, not the reverse. The final, 7–6 in the Coyotes’ favor, was correct, as the Coyotes have been happy to confirm.

  A May 20 real-estate note described a bungalow on North Beachwood Drive as Victorian. It is Craftsman, and its owner, an architect, would like that on the record. The Times regrets implying the house was some forty years older than it is.

When we are wrong, we say so.
