Not an error, but "[[arrest warrants]]" should be wikilinked as a key term. [[User:Brandmeister|Brandmeister]]<sup>[[User talk:Brandmeister|talk]]</sup> 21:35, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
:I'd have thought ''arrest warrant'' is a common-enough term that it doesn't require linking to aid reader understanding. Also, the linked article has no mention of the ICC's arrest warrants, the whole content is a breakdown of specific countries only. &nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;[[User:Amakuru|Amakuru]] ([[User talk:Amakuru|talk]]) 21:41, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
::Wouldn't insist, but I'd say "arrest warrant" isn't as common as e.g. "arrest", "police" or "president" in terms of [[WP:NOTDIC]]. [[User:Brandmeister|Brandmeister]]<sup>[[User talk:Brandmeister|talk]]</sup> 21:55, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

Should definitely say ''alleged'' abduction of children per BLPCRIME and probably call the "official" who she officially is (if space is the worry, remove "Russian president", since everyone knows who Putin officially is). I'm not saying say "Presidential Commissioner for Children's Rights in the Russian Federation". Just "children's rights commissioner" (and "Russian" is already clear). [[User:InedibleHulk|InedibleHulk]] ([[User talk:InedibleHulk|talk]]) 00:23, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
:The wording definitely should be changed. [https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/icc-judges-issue-arrest-warrant-against-putin-over-alleged-war-crimes-2023-03-17/ Reuters] has it as for the illegal deportation, I cant find the actual arrest warrant on the ICC site yet, but their [https://www.icc-cpi.int/news/statement-prosecutor-karim-khan-kc-issuance-arrest-warrants-against-president-vladimir-putin news release] said ''the Pre-Trial Chamber has confirmed that there are reasonable grounds to believe that President Putin and Ms Lvova-Belova bear criminal responsibility for the unlawful deportation and transfer of Ukrainian children from occupied areas of Ukraine to the Russian Federation, contrary to article 8(2)(a)(vii) and article 8(2)(b)(viii) of the Rome Statute.'' I dont think we should be using the word abduction in our blurb as the crime, and if we are going to name the crime then actually use its name, that being ''the unlawful deportation and transfer of children'', or follow Reuters and say ''illegal deportation''. <small style="border: 1px solid;padding:1px 3px;white-space:nowrap">'''[[User talk:Nableezy|<span style="color:#C11B17">nableezy</span>]]''' - 05:45, 18 March 2023 (UTC)</small>
::I don't have the full warrants (does anyone?), but the ICC is pretty clear with the specific counts in that statement they put out. — [[User:Red-tailed hawk|<span style="color: #660000">Red-tailed&nbsp;hawk</span>]]&nbsp;<sub>[[User talk:Red-tailed hawk|<span style="color: #660000">(nest)</span>]]</sub> 06:25, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
::{{u|nableezy}}, I suggest you bring this issue up on the talk page of the article first. Any hook should reflect what the article says. '''[[User:Schwede66|<span style="color: #000000;">Schwede</span>]][[User talk:Schwede66|<span style="color: #FF4500;">66</span>]]''' 07:03, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
:::That doesnt seem like a good time tbh, but our main page should not be making a claim about a living person being charged with abducting children when that is not the charge. <small style="border: 1px solid;padding:1px 3px;white-space:nowrap">'''[[User talk:Nableezy|<span style="color:#C11B17">nableezy</span>]]''' - 15:42, 18 March 2023 (UTC)</small>
::Good catch, this isn't the sort of "child abduction" most civilians are aware of, where simple napping is enough reason to be arrested, international psychological genocide operation or no. My "definitely" was more aimed at "allegedly". "Alleged illegal deportation" is fair. [[User:InedibleHulk|InedibleHulk]] ([[User talk:InedibleHulk|talk]]) 07:52, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
::That ''viii'' is "taking of hostages", if anyone's interested (if so, "alleged hostage-taking"). [[User:InedibleHulk|InedibleHulk]] ([[User talk:InedibleHulk|talk]]) 08:10, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
:::No, the relevant ''viii'' is in [https://www.icc-cpi.int/sites/default/files/RS-Eng.pdf section 8.2.b, not 8.2.a]. {{quote|The transfer, directly or indirectly, by the Occupying Power of parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies, or the deportation or transfer of all or parts of the population of the occupied territory within or outside this territory;}} Note that none of these sections talk specifically about children. And when when you look at the full list of war crimes – torture, great suffering, extensive destruction, &c. – it's not clear why they have focussed only on the transfer issue when that seems comparatively benign.

::::That makes sense, I was wondering why I hadn't heard ransom demands, thanks for correcting. [[User:InedibleHulk|InedibleHulk]] ([[User talk:InedibleHulk|talk]]) 00:15, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
:When it's already on the main page, someone should work on improving the linked articles, as they provide absolutely no detailed information about why both are charged. [[Maria Lvova-Belova]]'s personal life section reads {{tq|Lvova-Belova has been married to Pavel Kogelman, a priest of the Russian Orthodox Church and formerly a programmer, since 2003. They have five biological and eighteen adopted children. The former were born in 2005, 2007, 2010, 2014 and 2018. In February 2023, she adopted a 15-year-old boy from Mariupol, which caused controversy due to the concurrent abductions.}}, which makes her a rescuer rather than a criminal. Very absurd.--[[User:Kiril Simeonovski|Kiril Simeonovski]] ([[User talk:Kiril Simeonovski|talk]]) 20:19, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
::Mentioning the concurrent '''abductions''' strongly implies she's a criminal to me. [[User:InedibleHulk|InedibleHulk]] ([[User talk:InedibleHulk|talk]]) 04:09, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
::She's not a rescuer. Mariupol is occupied territory and no Russian should be adopting anyone from there. [[User:331dot|331dot]] ([[User talk:331dot|talk]]) 10:58, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
:::On the neutral side, there are two possibilities. Firstly, the children are being illegally adopted by Russians in order to be Russified because, according to the Russian law of adopting foreign children, there has to be a permit by their home country (in this case, Ukraine). Secondly, an exception is made to violate the law in a state of war so that the children are brought away from the risky areas. There's absolutely nothing that indicates which of these two is the case. How would someone reading the article know that Russians cannot adopt children from Ukraine without a permit if that's not written anywhere?--[[User:Kiril Simeonovski|Kiril Simeonovski]] ([[User talk:Kiril Simeonovski|talk]]) 11:21, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
::::The official Russian position would presumably be that, as they claim to have annexed these territories, the population is Russian and so it's an internal matter. Putin doesn't seem to recognise Ukraine as a country at all – that's the main point of the war. All such issues are a part of the war which we have as Ongoing. And the [https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-65004610 latest news today] is that Putin is visiting Mariupol. There's news about Putin every day, it seems. [[user:Andrew Davidson|Andrew]]🐉([[user talk:Andrew Davidson|talk]]) 13:04, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
:::::Putin can argue his position at his trial(which is 99% likely to never happen, I know, as does the ICC). Our job is to describe what the sources say, which we do in [[Child abductions in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine]]; "''During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russia forcibly transferred thousands of Ukrainian children to areas it controls, assigned them Russian citizenship, forcibly adopted them into Russian families, and created obstacles for reunification with their parents or homeland''". If this is wrong, then that needs to be taken up on the article talk page. [[User:331dot|331dot]] ([[User talk:331dot|talk]]) 13:23, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
::::::The blurb doesn't say Russia did anything, rather that the ICC served two BLPs warrants for abducting children. That is, those two are child abductors and this is what they get. The article is wrong on ''more'' levels, and that's also a problem, but this blurb is still wrong on quite a few. [[User:InedibleHulk|InedibleHulk]] ([[User talk:InedibleHulk|talk]]) 02:15, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
*There is now an article about the warrants themselves, [[ICC arrest warrants for Vladimir Putin and Maria Lvova-Belova]], that could be worked into this blurb. [[User:331dot|331dot]] ([[User talk:331dot|talk]]) 16:51, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
*:My preference is that the merge discussion come to a conclusion first. '''[[User:Schwede66|<span style="color: #000000;">Schwede</span>]][[User talk:Schwede66|<span style="color: #FF4500;">66</span>]]''' 19:17, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
*::Either way, the blurb has to be fixed. The arrest warrant is not for the abduction of children, it is for the transfer of civilians from occupied territory. This is a V failure and a BLP failure, and seemingly the only reason it is still on the freaking main page is because we really don't like Putin. <small style="border: 1px solid;padding:1px 3px;white-space:nowrap">'''[[User talk:Nableezy|<span style="color:#C11B17">nableezy</span>]]''' - 04:05, 20 March 2023 (UTC)</small>

Revision as of 00:08, 24 March 2023

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 19:24 on 16 October 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.

Errors in the summary of the featured article

Please do not remove this invisible timestamp. See WT:ERRORS and WP:SUBSCRIBE. - Dank (push to talk) 01:24, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • pursuant to this discussion with fac nominator Harrias, please replace "1893, he made 1,405" with "1892, he made 1,407" and add " in 1893" after "Wisden". note that this edit may break the character limit, so if this is an issue, please remove "to be regarded at his peak as one of England's finest batsmen", since hewett's appearance on wisden's list already suggests this. dying (talk) 03:37, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Hewett won a Blue" should read "Hewett won a blue". It is not a proper noun; please see usage at Blue (university sport). Thanks Spicemix (talk) 10:48, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done. Blue is almost always capitalised in sources, and acts as a proper name, per MOS:CAPS and the featured article's prose.  — Amakuru (talk) 12:37, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
 Done on second thoughts, I've checked more deeply, and it seems usage is quite mixed in sources, so I guess we do default to lowercase.  — Amakuru (talk) 13:15, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Spicemix (talk) 13:50, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
