:This is not "an error" for the purposes of this error report page. As discussed several times, [[Talk:Main Page/Archive 124#Today's Featured Picture|such as here]] and [[Talk:Main Page/Archive 124#Renaming featured picture to featured media|here]], "Today's featured picture" on the main page shows one of the many '''[[WP:FP|featured picture]]s''' that have been selected and promoted ... but they have also nominated and promoted videos over there too like [[Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Yeager supersonic flight 1947.ogg|this one]], [[Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/First supersonic flight|this one]], [[Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Eddie Rickenbacker Bombs the Germans|this one]], and [[Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Annie Oakley film clip|that one]].

For general main page discussions, go to Talk:Main Page.
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. Errors can be fixed faster when a correction is offered, so please be specific. 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 21:15 on August 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
Ryan White is an American, so we should use American English and spell "haemophiliac" as "hemophiliac" without the first "a". --199.71.174.100 (talk) 01:21, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

- This is not "an error" for the purposes of this error report page. As discussed several times, such as here and here, "Today's featured picture" on the main page shows one of the many featured pictures that have been selected and promoted ... but they have also nominated and promoted videos over there too like this one, this one, this one, and that one. Your comments should really be made on Wikipedia talk:Featured pictures Cheers. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 03:10, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Follow-up and old items
This holding area is for items that require 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. The items listed here should eventually be moved to a suitable location elsewhere, such as:
- 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
Any other problems
Please report other problems on Talk:Main Page.
