• An article misspelled Howard Stoate, former Labour MP for Dartford, as Stoat; similarly, the universities and science minister, David Willetts, appeared as Willets ('This lack of respect for women comes from the top', 28 April, page 6, G2).
• A photo from Edinburgh College of Art's fashion show – published under the heading Bearing fruit: Students' final collections go on show – was credited to Jeff J Mitchell in the agency caption material supplied to us. In fact the photograph was taken by Anna Stephenson (21 April, page 21).
• Writing about how hard it is to design structures to confine radioactive emissions from the likes of Chernobyl, or to store nuclear waste, an article mentioned Finland's Onkalo underground storage facility (Keep out – for 100,000 years, 25 April, page 17, G2). But in making mention of a TV documentary on the latter, our article repeated the film's assertion that onkalo means "hiding place" in Finnish. A Finnish reader objected that this is neither the translation nor an everyday meaning of the word. Indeed, dictionaries translate it as "cavity"; this might also stretch to "cavern".
