What we want to correct
Corrections can cover a misstated meaning or origin, a poor translation, inappropriate cultural wording, a broken or misleading page, an unsupported popularity claim, a duplicate presented as unique, or a property reference that could imply affiliation.
What makes a report useful
A clear report should include:
- the full page URL;
- the exact name, sentence, or label at issue;
- the correction you propose and why;
- a reliable source for factual origin, translation, history, or cultural claims; and
- the date you saw the issue.
Current submission status
PetNames does not currently publish a public correction inbox or contact form. We will not invent an email address or direct visitors to an unmonitored channel.
This page will be updated with a verified submission route when one is available. Until then, treat an unsourced meaning or origin as an editorial aid rather than a verified fact, and keep the URL and evidence needed for a future report.
How a correction should be handled
A factual report should be checked against the cited evidence and the wording on the page. Depending on the result, the claim should be corrected, sourced, labelled uncertain or interpretive, or removed.
A material update should carry a visible updated date where practical. PetNames should never claim expert or cultural review unless the named reviewer and relevant context are visible.
