How to report an error
Email contact@ebolamap.org with the page URL, the statement or value you believe is wrong, and a link to supporting evidence. Use “Correction” in the subject line. We welcome reports about case counts, dates, locations, translations, citations, map markers, and broken links.
How reports are assessed
We compare the report with the cited source and, where needed, a newer primary source. A claim is corrected when the evidence shows it is false, materially incomplete, no longer current on a page presented as current, or attributed to the wrong source. Differences caused by explicit counting definitions are clarified rather than silently overwritten.
How corrections appear
- Minor spelling and formatting fixes may be made without a notice.
- Material factual corrections update the page and its modified date.
- If the original error could materially affect interpretation, a correction note explains what changed.
- Archived situation reports keep their historical cutoff but receive a prominent archive label and a link to current totals.
Response expectations
We aim to acknowledge well-supported correction requests promptly, but cannot guarantee a response time. Safety-critical errors and active-outbreak totals receive priority.
