In an obituary on Friday for Arthur R. Railton, the editor and writer for the Dukes County Intelligencer, the Gazette overlooked the editorship of the late George W. Adams, who served for a year between the editorships of E. Gale Huntington and Mr. Railton.
Working with the photographer Alison Shaw and designer Janet Holladay, Mr. Adams — a former reporter for the Vineyard Gazette — modernized the layout of the Intelligencer, establishing the template that the publication still uses today.
A story in the Tuesday Gazette about the intended purchase by the Martha’s Vineyard Museum of the old Marine Hospital in Vineyard Haven misquoted executive director David Nathans. Mr. Nathans did not say the price being negotiated was “substantially” below the list price for the property.
A series of photographs showing the top 10 graduating seniors at the Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School in the Tuesday Gazette mistakenly switched the names beneath the pictures for Jill McHugh and Naomi Pallas, who are both tied for fourth honors in the class. The photographs appear above with correct identification. The Gazette regrets the error.
A story in the June 7 Gazette about the Martha’s Vineyard Public Charter School graduation incorrectly named a scholarship awarded to senior Hannah Vanderlaske. It is the Lumina Darrell scholarship. The Gazette regrets the error.
A story about Bill Wilcox in the Tuesday Gazette misstated the length of a tape measure used by Mr. Wilcox at a well in the state forest. The well is 500 feet deep; the tape measure is not that long.
A story in the Tuesday Gazette about foreclosure proceedings against the nonprofit Island Affordable Housing Fund, now renamed the Martha’s Vineyard Housing Fund, mistakenly referred to the fund in second reference as the trust. The nonprofit Island Housing Trust is a separate organization, formerly affiliated with the fund but now distinct from it, and is not a party in the foreclosure proceeding. The trust builds affordable housing properties and holds ground leases on them. The Gazette regrets the error.
A profile of the actress Diana Muldaur in the Tuesday Gazette incorrectly named the group that was filming Ms. Muldaur. It is the Archive of American Television Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Foundation.

A story in the Friday Gazette about Hospice of Martha’s Vineyard’s 30th anniversary reported incorrectly on the relationship between Island Hospice and the Vineyard Nursing Association. The VNA sometimes provides nursing staff for Island Hospice, but is not affiliated with it.
Both the headline and text in a story in the Dec. 31 Gazette about two Aquinnah scallopers cited for possible violations contained inaccuracies. Wilde Whitcomb was not fishing without a license and in fact has a commercial scallop license issued by the town; the question to be decided by town counsel centers on Mr. Whitcomb’s residency status. The Gazette regrets the errors.
A story in last week’s Gazette about the high school swim team was inaccurate in its history reporting. There was a swim team on the Vineyard in the 1970s that traveled off-Island for meets and practiced in the pool at the hotel that is today the Mansion House. The Gazette regrets the error.
A story in the Jan. 21 Gazette about two wind turbine projects on farms in Chilmark was unclear about the relationship of one person to a distinct group opposing the projects. Allen Farm abutter Jonathan Adler is not a member of the group battling a state plan to build turbines in waters off the Vineyard.
