Phil is right, the best practice is to contact the recipe author directly.
First of all, this alerts the author that the recipe might need to be edited in all the places that it is posted (cross-posting recipes on the Internet is very commonplace these days).
Second, on a more practical note, it is hard to remember the individual website practices. One website might automatically alert the recipe author if a question is posted, another website might not. They all probably *should*, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they *do*.
I read too many websites to remember all the practices of each site, so I just take the approach of contacting the author directly first. It saves me the effort of trying to remember which site does what.
At least here, if you publish recipes at Food52, you'll understand the general policy, but many readers here do not upload recipes.
