• An article about the 1991 killings of Lesley Howell and Trevor Buchanan in Castlerock, County Derry, wrongly referred to the deceased as lovers. The two were murdered by their respective spouses, who were having a relationship. Colin Howell pleaded guilty to the murders in 2010; Hazel Stewart was convicted in March 2011. They were sentenced to 21 and 18 years respectively (18 years after 'suicide pact' couple were found dead, partners face court on murder charges, 3 February 2009, page 11).
• Writing of the policeman killed by a car bomb in Omagh, a commentary – The limits of peace politics, 4 April, page 28 – described the present-day police service which the young Roman Catholic constable, Ronan Kerr, chose to join as a symbol of reconciliation. But it mistakenly named this as the RUC (the former Royal Ulster Constabulary) instead of the PSNI (the Police Service of Northern Ireland, in operation since 2001). Meanwhile, a leader on the killing said that the mainland, too, remained under some threat. The Guardian style guide counsels against using mainland to refer to Great Britain in reports about Northern Ireland (Not the end of history yet, 4 April, page 30).
• A feature on the 2011 National Graduate Recruitment Awards (Done your homework? 2 April, page 7, Work) should have listed Hilton International, not the Walt Disney company, as winner in the hospitality, leisure and tourism category.
