The NYT Puts This Out Every-day..........Incompetent? Corrections Article Tools Sponsored By Published: March 6, 2008 Because of an editing error, an article on Sunday about India’s energy consumption misstated the number of people in the country who rely on animal waste and firewood as fuel for cooking. It is about 700 million, not 700,000. (Go to Article) • An article on Monday about the impending trial of two former senior analysts for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or Aipac, on charges that they violated the Espionage Act, referred incorrectly to Aipac’s work. The organization, a pro-Israel lobby, works in the United States to advance Israel’s interests. It does not work directly for the state of Israel or its government. (Go to Article) For the Record A front-page article on Tuesday about the religious disillusionment among young people in Iraq carried an incomplete list of reporting credits. In addition to three Iraqi reporters who contributed from Baghdad, where the article was written, Iraqi employees of The Times interviewed residents in Basra, Falluja, Baquba and Mosul. (Go to Article) • A picture caption on Wednesday with a front-page article about cash incentives for students, teachers and principals in New York City public schools misidentified the position held by Dalia Johnson at Public School 188 in Manhattan. She is director of the middle school, not the school’s overall director. (Go to Article) • A headline on Wednesday with the continuation of a front-page article about results from four presidential primaries on Tuesday misidentified, in some editions, one of the states that voted. It was Ohio, not Iowa. (Go to Article) • Headlines in some editions on Wednesday about testimony in the trial of three New York City police detectives charged in the shooting death of Sean Bell outside a Queens nightclub in 2006 referred incorrectly to the case. It is being heard by a judge only; there is no jury. (Go to Article) • An article on Monday about a decision to pursue perjury charges against a New York City engineer in connection with the deaths of two firefighters in the Bronx in 2006 misstated the number of inspectors hired by the Buildings Department in the past six years. It is 149, not “more than 500.” (The higher figure represents the total increase in staff over that time.) (Go to Article) • Because of an editing error, a sports article on Wednesday about Brett Favre’s final N.F.L. pass misstated the military title of Greg Gadson, who now has the ball from that play. He is an Army lieutenant colonel, not a lieutenant. (Go to Article) • A sports article in some editions on Sunday about the American Cup gymnastics event at Madison Square Garden described incorrectly a vault performed by Shawn Johnson, the world all-around champion, who finished second in the women’s competition. She completed a somersault and two and a half twists, not two and a half somersaults. (Go to Article) • The TV Watch column, in some editions on Wednesday, about coverage of the presidential primaries on Tuesday night, misstated the year the war in Iraq started, a night on which MSNBC drew its highest rating until its broadcast of the Democratic debate last week. It was March 19, 2003 — not 2002. (Go to Article) The Times welcomes comments and suggestions, or complaints about errors that warrant correction.
