Reading the article after the corrections, I had no way of knowing if those strikethrough's were actual corrections or sarcastic jabs. You probably want to make it clear at the start (of better yet, just remove the corrected bits?)

Our policy is to not make silent changes to published articles for anything other than trivial typo fixes; an article shouldn't quietly mutate after it has been put out there. So the old stuff remains, even though I'd be happy to see it go. I did stick in a note up front noting that corrections have been made, though.

I saw this and find it greatly refreshing. This sort of transparency ought to be more prevalent in the fourth and fifth estates.

Your policy is fantastic. Thank you for it.
