Correction Requests
Plain language, no Bureau voice
This page is not part of the joke. If something here is wrong, we want to fix it.
Note that the in-world Bureau has an elaborate and deliberately useless appeals process, including Form 88-C and the Department of Prior Conclusions. That is satire. This page is the real route.
What we especially want to hear about
- A historical error. A wrong date, name, attribution, figure, or a popular myth we repeated as fact. These get the highest priority, because a factual error breaks the premise rather than serving it.
- A depiction that crosses a line. A real person appearing to be quoted or characterised, a real institution credited with a record it does not hold, or a joke that lands on victims rather than on the Bureau.
- An accessibility barrier. Anything unreadable, unnavigable, or unusable with assistive technology.
- A fragment that reads as a real alert or a real government notice once it is out of context.
- Copy that implies a reader is unwell. The site has a hard rule against this. If any page reads that way, it is a defect, not a joke, and it will be rewritten.
- A broken link or a citation that does not resolve. Every named artifact on this site is supposed to resolve or to carry an authored explanation of why it does not. A dead end is a bug.
How to raise it
The repository for this site is private, so there is no public issue tracker. Concerns can be raised through the contact route published at nixfred.com, which reaches the person responsible for this site.
Please include the page address and, where you can, what the correct information is and where you found it. A source link makes a correction fast.
What happens next
- Factual errors are corrected in plain language, and the correction is not dressed up as an in-world revision. We do not use the premise to wave away a mistake. That is the one joke this site is not allowed to make.
- Where a correction is substantial, the page records what changed.
- Depictions and accessibility problems are removed or rewritten rather than defended.
- Where an artifact contains a deliberate contradiction, that is tracked editorially and is not an error. If a contradiction reads as sloppiness rather than as design, that is still worth telling us, because it means it is not working.
What we will not do
We will not remove satire of institutional behaviour on request. The Bureau is a fictional agency and the target is the habit of mistaking administrative certainty for truth. That is the point of the site.
