Why corrections matter
TradeVerdicts is trying to organize the who, what, when, and where of sports trades in one searchable place. That means accuracy matters at several levels: the transaction itself, the asset cards, the draft-pick paths, the player links, the team pages, the verdict, and the written explanation.
Some trades are straightforward. Others involve conditional draft picks, old franchise names, players who never reported, picks that were traded again, cash or undisclosed consideration, expansion-era quirks, incomplete records, or conflicting reports from older sources.
When a page is wrong, unclear, duplicated, or incomplete, the correction process is meant to improve the archive instead of hiding the issue.
What to report
Useful corrections can be factual, structural, or editorial. The best reports identify the specific page and the specific issue.
Transaction errors Wrong date, wrong team, wrong player, wrong pick, or missing consideration.
Asset errors Duplicate assets, missing assets, wrong draft-pick outcome, or unclear pick chain.
Context errors Old franchise names, modern team labels, relocation history, or historical naming problems.
Analysis errors Verdicts, grades, or written analysis that do not match the actual trade outcome.
What to include
A correction is easier to review when it includes the page URL, a plain explanation of the problem, and any source or reasoning that supports the change.
- The TradeVerdicts URL.
- The player, team, or trade involved.
- The specific detail that appears wrong.
- The corrected detail, if known.
- A source link, citation, screenshot, or explanation when available.
- Whether the issue is factual, formatting, duplication, or a verdict disagreement.
How verdict and grade disagreements are reviewed
TradeVerdicts uses hindsight to evaluate trades, so reasonable people can disagree with a verdict. A verdict disagreement is strongest when it explains the actual value exchanged: what the player became, what the draft pick became, what each team gained, and what each team gave up.
If a page's own analysis praises one team while the verdict or grade cards favor the other team, that is especially useful to report. Those are not just opinion differences; they may reveal a logic mismatch between the written trade summary and the grading data.
What happens after a report
Corrections may result in a page edit, grade change, verdict change, asset correction, wording update, duplicate cleanup, confidence-level change, or deeper review.
Some reports are simple. Others require comparing multiple sources, checking old franchise names, tracing draft-pick outcomes, or holding a page back from public output until the record is clearer.
Not every disagreement will lead to a change, but every credible correction can help improve the archive.
