Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors
 | Please submit error reports only for content that is currently or will imminently appear on the Main Page. For general discussion about the Main Page, kindly use its talk page. |
 | National variations of the English language have been extensively discussed previously:
|
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 16:35 on 29 November 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.
Errors in the summary of today's or tomorrow's featured article
In today's the link to yesterday's is wrong. It's missing the first word and should be Fuck: Word Taboo and Protecting Our First Amendment Liberties. Entirely unnecessary as WP isn't censored, and given the full title was just featured as the FA. It frankly looks silly to censor it now after that, especially as you wonder what it's about without the 'Fuck'.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 00:26, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
Errors in In the news
- 2014 Sydney hostage crisis - Could you change "cafe" to "café", as it is spelled in the article and properly in English? Rcsprinter123 (message) @ 20:15, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
Done. Note that "cafe" vs "café" is partly a WP:ENGVAR thing, but as the article consistently uses "café" that is the right form on this occasion. Thryduulf (talk) 22:56, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

Errors in today's or tomorrow's On this day
Errors in today's or tomorrow's featured picture
On This Day pictured is a german "Sturmgeschütz", or anglicized "Assualt Gun", which is not really a "Tank" as captioned. Suggest change "Tank" to "Troops" or "Units" for accuracy.
Please report any such problems or suggestions for improvement at the General discussion section of Talk:Main Page.
