Flag a wrong entry

Every entry on Your Context has a Flag as wrong button (or Flag: this is true about us, on a line marked never true). Say what changed in one line, optionally give the correct statement, and press File the correction. Your draft checks stop using the entry at once, and the ledger updates within the hour.

What to do

Step by step.

  1. Find the entry on Your Context and press Flag as wrong. On an entry marked never true that is in fact true about you, the button reads Flag: this is true about us.
  2. Type what changed, in one line. If you like, add the correct statement as you would want a page to say it.
  3. Press File the correction. The entry shows Correction filed; your ledger updates within the hour.
  4. If you change your mind, the correction sits in Pending at the top of the tab with a Withdraw button until it is applied.

What happens next. The next brief is written from the corrected fact, the next check blocks the old one, and the next accuracy run judges the engines against it.

The ledger is only useful if it is right, and you are the one who knows. Flag as wrong is the one-line way to fix an entry: what changed, and optionally the statement as it should read.

The two things worth knowing are speed and reach. Speed: your draft checks stop using the entry at once, and the ledger itself updates within the hour, with the correction attributed to you and dated. Reach: the fix flows to the next brief, the next check and the next accuracy verdict, and nowhere else. Your website is untouched, because the ledger is what we know about you, not what is published.

How to read it

What the screen is telling you.

  • Your draft checks stop relying on the flagged entry immediately. A page checked in the next minute is not judged against the wrong fact.
  • The correction enters the ledger within the hour, attributed to you and dated. Eidomai marks it verified once a person has checked it; both states are used the same way in the meantime.
  • You know your business; your correction is the record. Nothing you file here waits on us.
  • Nothing here touches your website. A flagged entry changes what the next brief, check and verdict know; a page still goes through a draft and your review.
Questions

People ask.

What is a never-true line?
A fact the ledger holds as never true about your business: a service you do not offer, a claim you never want made. The draft check blocks pages that state it. If one of those is actually true, Flag: this is true about us tells the ledger so in one line.
How is this different from Actually, this is true on Accuracy?
Same idea, different screen. Actually, this is true corrects the ledger from a wrong claim on the Accuracy tab. Flag as wrong corrects it from the entry itself. Both file a fact stated by you and both apply within the hour.
Can I flag an interview answer?
Yes, once it has become an entry. While it is still in Pending, use Withdraw and answer the question again.
