An earlier version of this article misstated the activity on QAnon message boards on 8kun. One of the message boards about QAnon had fewer new posts than the board for adult-diaper fetishists, not the most active QAnon board.

Because of an editing error involving a satirical text-swapping web browser extension, an earlier version of this article misquoted a passage from an article by the Times reporter Jim Tankersley. The sentence referred to America’s narrowing trade deficit during “the Great Recession,” not during “the Time of Shedding and Cold Rocks.” (Pro tip: Disable your “Millennials to Snake People” extension when copying and pasting.)

An earlier version of this article misidentified the breed of Storm the dog. He is a golden retriever, not a Labrador retriever. (He is still a good boy.)

Because of an editing error, an article on Monday about a theological battle being fought by Muslim imams and scholars in the West against the Islamic State misstated the Snapchat handle used by Suhaib Webb, one of the Muslim leaders speaking out. It is imamsuhaibwebb, not Pimpin4Paradise786.

The Frugal Traveler column on Feb. 2, about Budapest, contained several errors. The street on which the writer saw a storefront where a man was making violin bows is Nepszinhaz Street, not Nepshinhaz. A dish made of turkey breast, ham and cheese served at the Frici Papa Kifozdeje restaurant does not have a name; it is not called sonkaval, which means “with ham.” The Faust Wine Cellar in the Buda Castle complex is at the Hilton Budapest Hotel, not the Budapest Sheraton Hotel.And the name of a D.J. at Morrison’s Liget, a nightclub, D.J. Szecsei, is simply a name; it is not the transliteration of the word “sexy.”

A graphic last Sunday about adulterated olive oil sold as “extra virgin” contained several errors. Olives that are used in substandard oil are typically milled days, weeks or even months after being picked — not “within hours.” The graphic conflated two dubious practices that can be found in parts of the olive oil industry. Some unscrupulous producers mix olive oil with soybean or other cheap oils, while others mix vegetable oils with beta carotene and chlorophyll to produce fake olive oil; the two practices are not always combined. Olive oil bottled in Italy and sold in the United States may be labeled “packed in Italy” or “imported from Italy” — not “produced in Italy” — even if the oil does not come from Italy. (However, the source countries are supposed to be listed on the label.) A 2010 study by researchers at the Olive Center at the University of California, Davis, found that 69 percent of imported olive oil labeled “extra virgin” did not meet, in an expert taste and smell test, the standard for that label. The study suggested that the substandard samples had been oxidized; had been adulterated with cheaper refined olive oil; or were of poor quality because they were made from damaged or overripe olives, or olives that had been improperly stored or processed — or some combination of these flaws. It did not conclude that 69 percent of olive oil for sale in the United States was doctored. Finally, the graphic incorrectly cited Tom Mueller, who runs the blog Truth in Olive Oil, as the source of the information. While Mr. Mueller’s blog and other writings were consulted in preparation of the graphic, several of his findings were misinterpreted.

An article on Thursday about Dawn Zimmer, the mayor of Hoboken, N.J., who has accused the administration of Gov. Chris Christie of trying to link Hurricane Sandy aid to support for a development project, referred incorrectly to recent Hoboken mayors who were imprisoned. Two of Ms. Zimmer’s predecessors — Anthony Russo and Peter Cammarano III — went to prison, but David Roberts, who served between the two men, did not.

The TV Watch column on Saturday, about the BBC show “Sherlock,” which has returned to PBS for a third season, rendered incorrectly the name of another television show on which one of the creators of “Sherlock,” Mark Gatiss, has appeared. It is “Doctor Who,” not “Dr. Who.”

Because of an editing error, an article on Monday about work on the replacement for the Tappan Zee Bridge through cold weather misidentified, in some editions, plastic items that workers use to keep the concrete warm. They are blankets, not buckets.

An Op-Ed article on Feb. 21 about national dietary guidelines incorrectly described the change in cheese consumption in the United States. Americans have been eating more cheese, not less.

The cover article on Feb. 15 about the changing nexus of glamour in Hollywood misidentified the member of a noted Los Angeles publishing family who erected the famous Hollywood sign. He was Harry Chandler — not Otis Chandler, who was his grandson. The article also rendered incorrectly the given name of a drag queen featured in a scene from the HBO series “The Comeback” and referred incorrectly to him at one point. He is RuPaul Charles, not Ru Paul, and therefore is Mr. Charles, not Mr. Paul. And the article misstated the surname of a member of the band Vampire Weekend spotted at the Musso & Frank Grill. He is Ezra Koenig, not Klein.

A critic’s notebook article on Friday about unfinished paintings in the Metropolitan Museum of Art referred incorrectly to one, “Virgin and Child With Saints” by a Flemish artist known as the Ghent Painter. It has been on loan to the Met since 1999; it did not enter the museum’s collection in 1889.
