Revision as of 23:45, 4 March 2017
![]() | 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 18:28 on 23 August 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.

- St Piran's Day - section mainly unreferenced, tagged as such. The Rambling Man (talk) 23:18, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
- Personally, I'm OK with the level of sourcing in that section. Maybe another admin disagrees... --Floquenbeam (talk) 23:35, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
- Well that's insane. There are fourteen claims in that section without a citation (about 78% of the total in that section), including a direct quote. Poor response. The Rambling Man (talk) 23:39, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
- Oh well. --Floquenbeam (talk) 23:40, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
- Not really. Remove it please. If you're not interested in fixing this sort of thing, why not go and do something else rather than add useless comments? The Rambling Man (talk) 23:41, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

- Gloster Meteor - "had its first flight." why not "made its maiden flight"? The Rambling Man (talk) 23:20, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
Done --Floquenbeam (talk) 23:35, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
- File:Boston Massacre.jpg doesn't appear in the target article. Seems a bit odd, especially since DYK don't even do that.... The Rambling Man (talk) 23:27, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
- @The Rambling Man: Moved from DYK to OTD, but... I guess I still don't understand. It's a version of the image in the infobox, isn't it? --Floquenbeam (talk) 23:40, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
- Sure, so use the same one. Thanks! The Rambling Man (talk) 23:41, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
