Correction Reports
What to Include When Reporting an Error or Broken Link
Page URL • Exact Issue • Context • Suggested FixA helpful correction report should point to one clear issue. If a page contains a historical error, broken link, typo, confusing explanation, mobile layout problem, or outdated detail, the fastest way to help is to identify the exact page and the exact part of the page that needs review.
| Include This | Why It Helps | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Page URL | Lets the issue be found quickly without guessing which page you mean. | https://www.apushistoryexamprep.com/ap-us-history-unit-5-review.html |
| Section title or heading | Helps locate the sentence, table, link, or resource inside a long page. | “Reconstruction Amendments” section |
| Exact sentence, link, or problem | Reduces confusion and makes review more accurate. | “The link to the evidence bank returns a 404.” |
| Brief explanation | Explains whether the issue is factual, technical, unclear, outdated, or formatting-related. | “This wording may make students think the New Deal ended the Depression by itself.” |
| Suggested correction, if available | Provides a starting point for review, though the final wording may differ. | “Consider clarifying that wartime production ended the Depression more fully.” |
Best Report Format
“On [page URL], in the [section name], the sentence/link/table that says [exact issue] may need correction because [brief reason].” This format is clear, useful, and easy to review.
Review Process
How Correction Reports Are Reviewed
Check • Verify • Improve • DocumentCorrection reports are reviewed based on the type of issue. A broken link can often be checked directly. A historical correction may require reviewing wording, context, chronology, and whether the page has simplified a topic too far. A formatting problem may require checking the page on mobile, desktop, or different browsers.
Classify the issue
The report is treated as a factual concern, clarity concern, broken-link issue, formatting problem, outdated reference, or general suggestion.
Review context
The page is checked to see whether the issue affects the main explanation, a student takeaway, a practice resource, a link, or a supporting detail.
Make a decision
The page may be updated, clarified, expanded, corrected, reformatted, internally linked better, or left unchanged if the report does not require action.
Publish improvement
When appropriate, the corrected or improved page is uploaded to the site so future visitors see the improved version.
Use feedback to improve future pages
Repeated issues may influence future templates, wording standards, internal linking checks, or mobile layout decisions.
For broader content standards, review the Editorial Policy.
Updates
How Page Updates and Corrections Are Handled
Corrections • Clarifications • Link Fixes • ImprovementsUSA History Exam Prep pages may be updated for several reasons. Some updates correct an error. Others improve formatting, add stronger internal links, clarify a confusing explanation, improve mobile readability, or better connect a page to AP U.S. History practice and review.
| Update Type | What It Means | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Factual correction | A historically inaccurate or misleading statement is changed. | Clarifying the difference between the end of Reconstruction and the end of slavery. |
| Clarification | A technically accurate sentence is rewritten to reduce confusion. | Explaining that the New Deal expanded federal responsibility but did not fully end the Great Depression by itself. |
| Broken-link repair | A nonworking link is corrected, replaced, or removed. | Replacing a dead internal URL with the correct approved page URL. |
| Formatting improvement | Spacing, mobile layout, table wrapping, button styling, or readability is improved. | Making a table scroll safely on mobile instead of overflowing the page. |
| Content expansion | A page is expanded to answer a user question more fully or add stronger information gain. | Adding a comparison table, study path, or evidence-transfer explanation. |
| Internal linking update | Relevant approved pages are linked so visitors can continue to related resources. | Adding links to a timeline, evidence bank, unit review, or strategy page. |
Correction vs. Improvement
A correction fixes something wrong or misleading. An improvement makes a page clearer, more useful, easier to navigate, or better aligned with student and teacher needs.
