Contact

We welcome messages from readers. You can write to us about a correction, a question, a source, a suggestion for a new article, or a problem with the site.

Email

Our email address is [email protected]. This is the best way to reach us, and the only contact address we publish.

There is also a contact form on this website. Messages sent through the form go to the same email address.

What to write about

• Corrections: if you believe something in an article is wrong, tell us which article, which passage, and — if you can — the source that shows the correct information. We check every correction and fix confirmed errors openly. See our Editorial Policy.
• Sources: if you know a book, archive, document or other source that would improve an article, we would like to hear about it.
• Suggestions: subjects you would like us to cover, or a battlefield, museum or memorial you think should be included.
• Permissions: requests to quote or reuse our content beyond the personal and educational use described in our Terms of Service.
• Problems with the site: pages that do not load, links that do not work, or advertisements that seem wrong or misleading. See also our Advertising Policy.
• Privacy requests: if you have sent us a message and want a copy of it, or want it deleted, write to the same address. See our Privacy Policy and Data Collection Policy.

Response time

We read every message. We aim to reply within a few days, though it can take longer when a message needs research or checking against the sources. We are a small team, so please be patient if a reply takes a little longer. There is no automated reply system: every message is read by a member of the team.

If your message reports an error in an article, we will check it against our sources. If the error is confirmed, we correct the article and add a short note saying what was changed. You can read how this works in our Editorial Policy.

What we do not have

We do not publish a telephone number or a postal address. Email is the only way to contact us. We do not offer user accounts or registration on this site.

Please do not send us personal documents, identity papers, or sensitive personal information. We only need the information that relates to your message.
