When we get it wrong, it goes here.

Reporting an error

Write to wave@perigirlies.com. Useful things to include: the page, the sentence, and what you believe is correct. A source helps and is not required. You do not need to be a clinician to report something, and you will not be asked to prove you are one.

There is no form and no ticket number. The same inbox that reads everything else reads this.

What happens next

Every report gets read and checked against the sources the page cites. One of three things follows.

• The claim was wrong. The page is fixed and the change is logged below, saying what it used to say and what it says now.
• The claim was right but unclear enough to be read the wrong way. The wording changes, and that is logged too, because a sentence people reliably misread is a defect even when it is technically defensible.
• The claim holds. You get a reply explaining which source it rests on, and nothing is logged.

Anything that could affect a health decision is treated as urgent and fixed ahead of everything else on the list.

A correction is not the same as an update

Pages get edited all the time: clearer phrasing, a new section, a refreshed figure, a guideline that has been revised. Those are updates, and they show up as a changed date on the page rather than an entry here.

A correction is narrower. It means something the site asserted was not true, or was misleading enough to function as untrue. Only those are logged here. Padding the log with routine edits would make it look diligent and mean nothing.

The log

August 29, 2026 · The Reddit study. A pre-publicity audit of our own study found five errors, all now fixed on the page. The post count covered twenty months while the comment count covered twelve; every post figure now uses the matching twelve-month window, so the sample reads 22,243 posts, not 32,734. Some counting rules leaked: "tired of this" was counted as fatigue, "a rough patch" as an estradiol patch, and "clothes" matched a menstrual-clotting term; the rules were tightened and are now published in full. The r/ADHDwomen naming figure was replaced with a manually verified count of 231 after reading all 386 machine-flagged threads. The first-sign thread's captured size was 776 and is actually 794 comments. And the JAMA Network Open citation credited the wrong first author; it is Mehta et al., senior author Hswen. No headline finding changed direction: anxiety led the symptom ranking before and after the fixes, and hot flashes ranked fifth both times. Raised internally.

Each entry carries the date, the page, what was wrong, what it says now, and who raised it if they want the credit.

Where the claims come from in the first place

Sourcing, what has to pass before a page ships, and what this site does not claim are all set out in the editorial policy.
