Corrections: For the Record

Published: September 3, 2008

International

The Copenhagen Journal article on Aug. 19, about Omar Marzouk, a Danish comedian who is trying to use comedy to combat prejudice about Islam, misstated the class background of the main characters in a former British sitcom, “The Young Ones,” which Mr. Marzouk said was a source of inspiration. Of the four principal characters, at least two were middle class or upper middle class. They were not all working class. (Go to Article)

Business Day

A picture caption on Monday with an article about Andrei Loshak, a Russian filmmaker whose documentary on the demolition of Moscow’s historic buildings was spiked by a local television station, may have left an incorrect impression about the location of the photograph showing Mr. Loshak on a city street. He was in St. Petersburg at the time, not Moscow. (Go to Article)

The Arts

A picture caption on Aug. 26 with the New DVDs column, using information provided by Warner Brothers, misidentified the film in which Errol Flynn, four of whose westerns have recently been issued on DVD by Warner Home Video, was shown with Alexis Smith.

Because of an editing error, an article on Monday about the singer Michael Feinstein omitted part of the title of a song on his new album, “The Sinatra Project.” The song, introduced by Joan Crawford in the 1931 film “Possessed” and recorded by Sinatra in the 1940s, is “How Long Will It Last?” not “How Will It Last?” (Go to Article)

Weekend

A report in the “Arts, Briefly” column on Friday about Wellesley College’s loss of a painting by Fernand Léger, using information from Reuters, omitted credit for the first report of the lost painting. It was in The Boston Globe. (Go to Article)

Science Times

An article on Tuesday about a new computer game, Spore, referred incorrectly to the popularity of The Sims, an earlier game from the same designer. The Sims is the best-selling computer game franchise ever, not the best-selling video game franchise. (Go to Article)

An article on Tuesday about the role of nitrogen in global warming misstated the effect of one nitrogen compound. Emissions of nitrogen triflouride contribute more to global warming than carbon dioxide emissions from any one of the largest coal-fired power plants, not more than all coal-fired power plants.

Thursday Styles

An article last Thursday about the fashion designer Michael Kors misstated the year he made his debut as a “Project Runway” judge. It was 2004, not 2006. (Go to Article)

Because of an editing error, the Front Row column last Thursday, about an iPhone application offered by Style.com that will allow users to watch the runway shows from New York Fashion Week, referred incompletely to its availability.
