A comprehensive, up-to-date list of every instance where The Wall Street Journal has published false, misleading, or inaccurate articles and later issued retractions or corrections isn’t publicly available in a single authoritative source.
However, WSJ, like most major publications, has issued corrections or retractions on occasion—some documented by their own "Corrections & Amplifications" section and others called out by credible external critics, especially for errors or questionable reporting on editorial pages.
A notable, extensively reported example of problematic practice involved their artificial inflation of European circulation numbers and running advertorials under the guise of news, which resulted in the firing of a WSJ Europe executive and public disclaimers on affected articles.
Overall, while isolated factual mistakes and corrections are not uncommon—particularly on opinion pages—the WSJ has an established process for corrections and, at times, has faced external scrutiny or been prompted to correct the record by public pressure or industry watchdogs.
If you’d like specifics about a particular article, topic, or era, I can try to dig up more direct examples.
