Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors

To report an error in content currently or imminently on the Main Page, use the appropriate section below.

• Where is the error? An exact quotation of the text in question helps.
• Offer a correction if possible.
• References are helpful, especially when reporting an obscure factual or grammatical error.
• Time zones. The Main Page runs on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC, currently 09:41 on 25 December 2024) and is not adjusted to your local time zone.
• Can you resolve the problem yourself? If the error lies primarily in the content of an article linked from the Main Page, fix the problem there before reporting it here. Text on the Main Page generally defers to the articles with bolded links. Upcoming content on the Main Page is usually only protected from editing beginning 24 hours before its scheduled appearance. Before that period, you can be bold and fix any issues yourself.
• Do not use {{edit fully-protected}} on this page, which will not get a faster response. It is unnecessary, because this page is not protected, and causes display problems because this is not a talk page. (See the bottom of this revision for an example.)
• No chit-chat. Lengthy discussions should be moved to a suitable location elsewhere, such as the talk page of the relevant article or project.
• Respect other editors. Another user wrote the text you want changed, or reported an issue they see in something you wrote. Everyone's goal should be producing the best Main Page possible. The compressed time frame of the Main Page means sometimes action must be taken before there has been time for everyone to comment. Be civil to fellow users.
• Reports are removed when resolved. Once an error has been addressed or determined not to be an error, or the item has been rotated off the Main Page, the report will be removed from this page. Check the revision history for a record of any discussion or action taken; no archives are kept.

Don't know where to put this, but apparently Anonymous has taken over the NSA page. You might want to fix that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.6.83.57 (talk) 11:54, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

That was the result of common Wikipedia vandalism. No one has "taken over" any Wikipedia page. Michaelzeng7 (talk) 19:20, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

Errors in the current or next Did you know...

• Willie Louis: for "Civil Rights Movement" the article has the right piping, to African-American Civil Rights Movement (1955–68). So why is the main page piped to "African-American Civil Rights Movement", which is a redirect? When you need to pipe a link, why not go directly there rather than via a redirect?

• Queue 4: "that businessman Berthold Beitz saved hundreds of Jews, including tailors, hairdressers and Talmudic scholars, by designating them as essential to Nazi Germany's war effort?" is linked to a hopelessly non-specific link. This term needs to be unlinked, or piped to History of the Jews in Germany. -- Ohc ^¡digame!_{¿que pasa?} 16:19, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
• George Livermore: He was given a "master of arts". But the article on that subject capitalizes it: Master of Arts. Shouldn't the main page be consistent with that? Colonies Chris (talk) 19:40, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
