Contact the Editorial Team — School of Quotes

The School of Quotes (kabushikihakushi.com) editorial team welcomes corrections, source-citation suggestions, and translation feedback from readers. Helping us tighten attributions, surface better primary sources, and refine translations is the most direct way to make this resource more accurate — and we treat reader feedback as a core part of our editorial workflow.

Feedback We Welcome

The following kinds of feedback are especially valuable. When the suggestion is grounded in a verifiable primary source, we apply corrections promptly after review.

• Quote misattribution corrections — "this line was actually said by someone else," "the cited source is wrong," etc. References to Quote Investigator, academic papers, or original publications make verification much faster.
• Missing primary-source citations — when a quote on the site is correct but lacks a precise source, suggesting the chapter, letter date, speech location, or interview transcript that contains it.
• Translation refinements — pointing out that the current English rendering misses a nuance of the original, or that a more standard scholarly translation exists.
• Factual errors in biography — corrections to dates, professions, achievements, or relationships in the author/speaker profile sections.

Inquiries We Don't Handle

As a small editorial team, we cannot handle the following kinds of requests on a case-by-case basis:

• Permission requests for personal use — quotes published here are either in the public domain or used under fair-use principles. Non-commercial personal use (a journal, a social-media post, a class handout) does not require our permission, only a citation back to the original source.
• Removal requests for public-domain quotes — we cannot honor requests to remove words by figures whose work is in the public domain (Shakespeare, Confucius, Lincoln, etc.). Legitimate copyright takedowns under DMCA are handled separately — see below.
• "Can you write about X?" requests — we cannot guarantee article requests on specific people or themes. We do log them as input for editorial planning, but no individual commitment is made.

Privacy Assurance

Response Time

The editorial team reviews submissions weekly. Corrections grounded in primary sources are applied promptly after the next review. Submissions that require additional research (re-checking original sources, comparing multiple translations) may take two to four weeks. Please be patient — accuracy is more important to us than speed.

How to Reach Us

For spam-prevention reasons, we do not currently expose a public email contact form. The primary contact channel is X (formerly Twitter) — mention or direct message the official account.

• X (Twitter) — mention or DM the editorial account. Including a screenshot or the URL of the relevant article speeds up verification.
• Email — if your inquiry is too long or sensitive for a DM, mention us on X and we'll share an email address privately. Note that this site is run by a single editorial team, so email replies may take longer than social-media replies.

Copyright Takedowns (DMCA)

If you believe content on this site infringes a copyright you own or represent, we accept takedown requests under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). To be actionable, your request must include all of the following standard information:

• The name and contact details of the copyright owner or their authorized agent
• Identification of the copyrighted work being infringed (book title, ISBN, registration number, etc.)
• The exact URL on this site where the alleged infringement appears
• A statement, made in good faith, that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf
• A physical or electronic signature

Complete DMCA notices are reviewed and acted on within seven business days.
