Because of an editing error, an article on Monday about a theological battle being fought by Muslim imams and scholars in the West against the Islamic State misstated the Snapchat handle used by Suhaib Webb, one of Muslim leaders speaking out.  It is imamsuhaibwebb, not Pimpin4Paradise786.

Mrs. Lloyd Oehrke, the winner of the 2016 Pillsbury Bake-Off for her recipe “Quik ‘n E-Z Cheesy Chili Dog Casserole” prefers to be known as “bakinglady” to her 267 followers on Instagram.  Due to a power surge in the Times’ news room during the rush to meet deadline for last Sunday’s Weekend section, several letters were transposed so that Mrs. Oehrke’s name appeared in the on-line edition as “midwesternlardbuttprobablytrumpvoter.”  The Times regrets it error, which in no way reflects our newspaper’s proud tradition of unbiased reporting.
