Revision as of 08:48, 7 April 2021
Please post error reports regarding only what is currently or imminently on the Main Page. For general discussion about the Main Page, please use its talk page. |
Most issues relating to national variations of the English language have already been discussed here at length:
|
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 22:29 on 22 September 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.

- Links in the basketball hook have been changed in Special:Diff/1016330749 violate MOS:EGG- see discussion at Wikipedia talk:In the news#ITNR sports: Link to general team page or specific team season page?.

- Done. Seems legitimate, per the discussion and precedent from other sports. — Amakuru (talk) 08:48, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
Errors in "Did you know ..."
Errors in "On this day"
- Empress Matilda - the word "claimant" is used in the lead only and the infobox says she became the "disputed" Queen of England, not someone who was making a claim for it. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 08:08, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
- In this context, the words "claimant" and "dispute" are essentially synonymous. --Jayron32 15:23, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
- That's not clear at all, especially to the vast majority of our readers who are not intimately knowledgeable of the subtleties of the history of rulers of Britain. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 06:56, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
- In this context, the words "claimant" and "dispute" are essentially synonymous. --Jayron32 15:23, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
- MV Dara - "on board ... on board" is grim reading. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 07:02, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
- Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant - didn't see where the "merger" on 8 April was mentioned and referenced. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 07:05, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
- Thomas of Tolentino - provides sources for two dates which it claims are "wrong" but no reasoning and I couldn't see a reference which gave 8 April as the correct date (and why). The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 07:07, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
- Battle of Mansfield: Not seeing Confederates
"stopped the advance of the Union Army's Red River campaign"
verified in the article; the campaign later had several more battles. AllegedlyHuman (talk) 07:28, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
- Day of National Unity: Only one sentence in the article about this holiday, the official title of which appears to be "National Unity Day". Entire article is unsourced. AllegedlyHuman (talk) 07:13, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
- Yom HaShoah: Most of section "Conservative Judaism" is uncited. AllegedlyHuman (talk) 07:15, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
- Vilhelm Bjerknes: Most of the article is cited to one source (the 1922 Britannica). AllegedlyHuman (talk) 07:24, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
