View case study →Can Stonebridge correct false information on Wikipedia?
Stonebridge can identify the disputed statement, test it against reliable sources and prepare a neutral correction or edit request. Wikipedia editors decide whether the evidence supports the change.
What if the information is damaging but reliably sourced?
Reliable, relevant information is not removed simply because it is unfavorable. The question is whether it is accurately represented, properly sourced and compliant with applicable policy.
Can you correct a wrong founder, CEO or company affiliation?
Yes, where reliable sources establish the correction. Stonebridge can map the entity relationship and prepare precise wording for review.
How are living-person biographies handled?
Unsourced or poorly sourced material about living people requires particular care. Corrections should be factual, source-backed and routed transparently when a conflict exists.
Can I edit my own biography?
A connected or paid editor should disclose the relationship and generally use an edit-request or talk-page route rather than treating the article as a personal profile.
What should I send first?
Send the article URL, the exact incorrect statement, the correct source links, the relevant dates or affiliations and any discussion already attached to the page.
