To report an error you have noticed on today's or tomorrow's Main Page, please add it to the appropriate section below.

Please note the following:

• Where is the error?: The more specific you can be (an exact item, for example "item number 3 on DYK"; or a sentence) the faster an admin can find it.
• Be specific: Errors can be fixed faster when a correction is offered.
• References: Can be helpful, especially when reporting an obscure factual or grammatical error.
• Consensus: Remember that the Main Page usually defers to supporting pages for accuracy or when there is disagreement, so it is best to achieve consensus and make any necessary changes there first.
• Time zones: Note that Coordinated Universal Time is used for the current date and time (07:54 on 12 Feb 2012), and this may not coincide with your local time zone.
• Should I use {{edit protected}}?: No. Using {{edit protected}} here will not give you a faster response, and in fact breaks the template when it is placed directly on the Main Page Errors page instead of on a talk page.
• Done?: 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.
• No chit-chat: Lengthy discussions should be moved to a suitable location elsewhere.

Errors in In the news

Maldives Coup

Modify blurb (Reposting from what I posted on the ITN/C page, looks like no action is being taken there):The former president said that he was forced to resign at gunpoint, making this a coup rather than a resignation (this claim has been supported by the foreign minister). Indian military intervention (similar to Operation Cactus) was sought by Nasheed, but the Manmohan Singh government just sat on the fence (surprise, surprise). I guess the article will have to be updated and the blurb modified: as of now, it is wrong news (or at the very least incomplete news) that we have posted.

I understand your point, but it appears the situation is unclear enough that we're better off leaving it as is. The articles go more into the complexities, and the wording as it is is correct, if simplistic. --Floquenbeam (talk) 17:11, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
