Corrections and clarifications

• Translations of two terms used in our New Europe: Germany series were wrong. In an article looking at German culture we translated "jobs for the boys" as Fetterwirtschaft. The correct word is Vetternwirtschaft. An accompanying panel on German stereotypes gave the term for "no exceptions" as keine Ausfülle. That should have been keine Ausnahmen (A country where 'obedient' can be a dirty word, Debunking stereotypes, 19 March, pages 38 and 39).

• An article about censorship of the internet in China said that Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube were all blocked there. That is true of Facebook and YouTube. LinkedIn is not blocked in China, although the service was briefly disrupted last month (Google accuses Beijing of sabotaging email service, 21 March, page 14).

• A feature looking at the background to the murders committed by Stephen Griffiths, the self-styled "Crossbow Cannibal", referred to Bradford as having once been dominated by cotton mills. West Yorkshire's wealthy cities were renowned for their woollen mills in the 18th and 19th centuries. The area known for cotton mills was Lancashire, on the other side of the Pennines ('He killed because it was easy', 5 March, page 24, Weekend).
