FRONT PAGE
An article on June 6 about a confrontation between Israeli soldiers and pro-Palestinian protesters from Syria who tried to cross into Israeli-controlled territory misstated at several points the site of the confrontation. As stated elsewhere in the article, it was in the Golan Heights, which Israel seized from Syria in the 1967 war, and which remains an area of disputed sovereignty. It was not at the Syrian border. The error was repeated in headlines and a picture caption with the article.
FOREIGN
The Saturday Profile article about Nikolai Alekseyev, a campaigner for gay rights in Russia, misstated the law on same-sex marriage in Switzerland, as well as Mr. Alekseyev’s marital status and his citizenship. While Switzerland allows what it calls registered partnerships of same-sex couples, same-sex marriage is not legal, and registered partners do not have the same rights as heterosexual couples, including automatic Swiss citizenship to a non-Swiss in a registered partnership with a Swiss. It is not the case that Mr. Alekseyev “is married to his Swiss partner and has citizenship in Switzerland.”
NATIONAL
An article on Saturday about the departure of David Protess from the Medill Innocence Project misstated the time served by Donald Watkins, whose 2004 murder conviction was the subject of a recent investigative article by Medill students. He was convicted of murder in 2004 and sentenced to 56 years in prison; he has not served 56 years.
NEW YORK
An article in some editions on Sunday about the fatal crash of a small plane near Westchester County Airport described incorrectly the tower the pilot contacted for help. It was the airport control tower, not an emergency control tower.
THE ARTS
A film review on Wednesday about “Passione,” a documentary about the songs and singers of Naples, Italy, misidentified a singer praised in the review. She uses one name, Misia; she is not Lina Sastri, another performer in the film.
•
A report on Wednesday in the “Arts, Briefly” column, about the winner of the 2011 New York Times Outstanding Playwright Award, Kristoffer Diaz, erroneously attributed a distinction to the playwright Richard Greenberg, a member of the selection committee. While Mr. Greenberg has been nominated twice for a Pulitzer Prize, he has not won one.
SPORTS
An article on Friday about the Boston Bruins’ victory over Vancouver in the Stanley Cup finals erroneously attributed a distinction to the Canucks in their Game 7 loss. They became the first team in a Stanley Cup finals to lose Game 7 in a shutout on home ice; they were not the first team to do so in any N.H.L. playoff series. (The Colorado Avalanche lost Game 7 by shutout to the visiting Edmonton Oilers in the first round of the 1998 playoffs.)
STYLE
An article last Thursday about the fitness trainer Jillian Michaels referred imprecisely to the daytime television shows “The Doctors,” whose cast Ms. Michaels will join in the fall, and “Dr. Phil,” on which she will be a special correspondent. They are syndicated by CBS Television Distribution and can be seen on local affiliates of various major networks, not just those of CBS. The article also misspelled the Pennsylvania community of Cynthia Eyler, who used Ms. Michaels’s weight-loss Web site as she lost 93 pounds. It is West Chester, not Westchester.
HOME & GARDEN
An article last Thursday about fans misstated the energy consumed by a good window air-conditioner and a three-ton central air-conditioning unit, a common cooling system. The window air-conditioner would draw about 1.2 kilowatts of power, not kilowatts an hour. (It would, as stated, cost 14 cents an hour to run at average utility rates, 12 cents a kilowatt hour.). The central air-conditioning unit would draw about 3 kilowatts of power, not kilowatts an hour. (It would, as stated, cost 36 cents an hour to run.) The article also misstated the volume of a basketball in describing the amount of air moved by one fan. It is approximately a quarter of a cubic foot, not one cubic foot.
