Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors

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 07:31 on 23 June 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.

• ... that initiation fees at Trump National Golf Club Westchester have dropped $150,000 since 2001? is sourced to [1] (see Trump National Golf Club Westchester) which claims that "Initiation fees at Briarcliff are posted at $50,000, down from the $100,000-$150,000 the club reportedly got before the 2008 recession. But many recent members have not been charged any initiation fee and those who came in recently at the $50,000 price point were given five years to pay with an opt-out, meaning they can leave the club at any time with no further obligation." So: no mention of 2001, the 2008 figures are only "reportedly" and started at 100K, and now the fee is 50K. Fram (talk) 10:47, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

• The caption of the image of President Bush in OTD should say "former US president", or "then US president", or something of that sort, since he is not the current US president. Banedon (talk) 03:37, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

  I thought POTUS was a position for life, i.e. all "former" presidents retain the title. Still, I could be wrong, that's altogether possible. The Rambling Man (talk) 04:53, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
