Corrections Policy
HeatingUp aims to keep its basketball content as accurate and trustworthy as possible. That includes statistics, player information, physical measurements, transaction history, role descriptions, and other editorial content. If an error is identified, the site aims to correct it in a clear and timely way.
Not every update is the same. Some changes involve factual corrections, while others involve routine maintenance, wording improvements, formatting clean-up, or the addition of new information. HeatingUp treats these categories differently.
A correction may be made when a page contains an error involving:
- player biographical information, such as date of birth, hometown, draft details, or teams played for
- physical data, such as height, weight, wingspan, or listed position
- transaction or trade-history details
- misstated statistics or career facts
- incorrect sourcing or attribution
- language that overstates a claim beyond what the evidence supports
When a factual error is confirmed, the page will be updated to reflect the best available information. In some cases, the wording may also be revised to better reflect uncertainty or conflicting records. Not all public basketball sources agree on every detail, especially for historical material. When sources conflict, HeatingUp may choose the most credible source available or use more cautious language rather than overstating certainty.
HeatingUp may also update pages without labeling the change as a correction when the update is minor, such as:
- improving formatting or readability
- tightening wording without changing meaning
- adding context or analysis
- refreshing source links
- making non-substantive template changes
Where practical, substantial factual corrections may be noted on the page through an updated date or a brief editorial note. Minor edits may be made silently.
HeatingUp welcomes correction requests from readers. If you believe a page contains a factual mistake, please send a message through the site’s contact page and include the following where possible:
- the exact page URL
- the statement you believe is incorrect
- the corrected information
- a reliable public source supporting the correction
Submitting a correction request does not guarantee that the requested change will be made exactly as submitted. Each request may be reviewed against available evidence and editorial standards before a change is published.
HeatingUp does not treat differences of basketball opinion as factual errors by default. For example, readers may disagree with a player archetype, style comparison, or role description. Those judgments are editorial in nature. However, if such language is misleading, poorly supported, or clearly contradicted by the evidence, it may still be revised.
The aim of this policy is simple: if something is wrong, fix it; if something is uncertain, present it honestly; and if something can be made clearer for readers, improve it.
