An article on Wednesday about the unfinished Crimean palace of Viktor F. Yanukovych, the ousted president of Ukraine, referred imprecisely to his possible fate.

An article on Feb. 12 about a decision by Cuba to build gated housing developments for members of the armed forces and others most loyal to the Castro government after realizing they were falling behind in the country’s new hybrid economy misstated the given name of a retired colonel who writes a blog often critical of the government. He is Fernando Dámaso, not Jorge.

And the headline misspelled it as Northrup. The errors came to light on Monday after a Twitter user pointed out the article in The Times archives. (The errors notwithstanding, The Times described the article as “a more complete and authentic record than has yet appeared.”)
