The Guardian has published a roundup of corrections and clarifications covering recent errors in print and online, including a misidentified film for actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw, casualty figures from the Battle of Antietam, and the codename of the Nagasaki bomb. These updates ensure accuracy and accountability in journalism.
Key Corrections in This Edition
The corrections address three main errors: an interview with Gugu Mbatha-Raw incorrectly stated a biopic was released; a description of the Battle of Antietam inflated casualty numbers; and a cocktail recipe misstated the amount of elderflower liqueur.

Gugu Mbatha-Raw Biopic Error
An interview in Saturday’s pre-printed TV guide claimed Mbatha-Raw portrayed Mary Seacole in a biopic that was actually never released due to Covid production delays. The error occurred in print only.
Battle of Antietam Casualty Figures
An article about iconic US photos stated that 22,000 soldiers were killed in one day at the 1862 Battle of Antietam. In fact, that number was the total killed, wounded, or missing. Additionally, the bomb dropped on Nagasaki was codenamed Fat Man, not “Big Boy”.
Summer Spritz Recipe Mistake
A recipe for a summer spritz cocktail overstated the volume of elderflower liqueur: 235ml was printed instead of the correct 35ml. The error appeared in the Feast section.
| Error | Correction |
|---|---|
| Gugu Mbatha-Raw biopic was released | Film not released; production halted by Covid |
| 22,000 soldiers killed at Antietam | 22,000 killed, wounded, or missing |
| Nagasaki bomb codename “Big Boy” | Codename “Fat Man” |
| Summer spritz: 235ml elderflower liqueur | 35ml elderflower liqueur |
