  2. Sources And Corrections

Every fact has a source. Every poster has an edition.

Every poster lists who checked it, its edition and its sources. Find something wrong and we fix it.

A poster for a kid has to be right, because the kid will check. This is how we keep ours right.

  • Every fact on a poster has a source a scientist would accept, listed on the poster's page and in the table below.
  • Where good sources disagree, such as how heavy the biggest dinosaur was, the poster says so or the fact stays off.
  • Every poster carries an edition date in its margin. When the science moves, or we find a mistake, we correct the file and the edition changes.
  • Corrections are listed here, poster by poster.
