Main Page error reports
To report an error you have noticed on the current Main Page or tomorrow's Main Page please add it to the appropriate section below. You can do this by pressing the [edit] button to the right of the appropriate section's heading. Also, please sign your post using four tildes (~~~~)
Note that the current date and time are in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which may not coincide with your local time zone. The next day's featured article of the day, picture of the day, and anniversaries update at midnight (00:00) according to UTC. The current time is 13:43 on December 19, 2024 (UTC). (Update)
Once an error has been fixed, the error report will be removed from this page; please check the page's history to verify that the error has been rectified and for any other comments the administrator may have made. Lengthy discussions should not take place here, and should be moved to a suitable location elsewhere.
References are helpful, especially when reporting an obscure factual or grammatical error, and a suggested rewording is helpful with a stylistic complaint. The main page usually defers to supporting pages when there is disagreement, so it is best to achieve consensus and make any necessary changes there first.
Errors in the summary of Today's featured article on the Main Page
Errors in In the news
Errors in Selected anniversaries/On this day

Errors in Picture of the Day/Today's featured picture
Errors in Did you know?
Ooof, that first hook is quite a mouthful. There has to be better way to say that. How about just removing "it was formed from" (which also ends with a preposition). "...that Mid-State Regional Airport is a Keystone Opportunity Zone to promote economic growth but, to protect the Pennsylvania state park and forest (pictured), it cannot legally expand?" 65.213.184.1 (talk) 15:01, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Follow-up and old items
This holding area is for items that require further follow-up (for example, a general point that needs to be raised elsewhere), or for items that haven't been dealt with but where the topic under discussion is no longer on the Main Page.

- Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article
- Template talk:In the news
- Wikipedia talk:Did you know
- Wikipedia talk:Selected anniversaries
- Wikipedia talk:Picture of the day
