Statistics in headline

According to our style guide, "[e]xact casualty or death figures should not be placed in headlines."

The source articles do not agree on the ages of the children. The Canberra Times reports "The children were four, eight and 10" and the BBC reports "their three children, reported to be aged four, five and 11."

We're 24 hours past publication so a correction will be necessary. I propose the following verbiage:

This article cites the BBC's reporting of the children's ages as four, five, and eleven. However, The Canberra Times reported them as four, eight, and ten. The discrepancy was not noted at time of publication. Additionally, the article includes an exact casualty count in the headline, which is discouraged by the Wikinews style guide to minimize the need for post-publication updates.

This communicates:

• That there was an editorial oversight.
• That part of the issue n(the headline) is with policy adherence, not factual inaccuracy.
• That the correction is a matter of transparency, not retroactive editing.
