For general main page discussions, go to Talk:Main Page.
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 08:58 on August 23, 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
Errors in In the news
It's not an error, per se, but the first item, "In ice hockey . . .", to me seems irrelevant to anyone outside of the US. I was oblivious to the fact that ice hockey season was now, let alone which teams were competing for the cup (I assume it's a cup). I think the results of the Iranian elections would be a better item. 79.71.123.32 (talk) 09:29, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
- Believe me, not that too many Americans care about who won the Stanley Cup. I'd probably bet Halifax had better TV ratings than either Pittsburgh or Detroit.
- P.S. The Iranian election results will be added shortly. We were waiting for the official results. –Howard the Duck 10:17, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
- please also note that we are not limited to a certain number of items for each day, we can have both the ice hockey and the Iranian elections on ITN at the same time - Dumelow (talk) 10:23, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
How about a link to Game seven#National Hockey League? –Howard the Duck 10:29, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
Re: The Iranian re-election story, am I right in thinking that "has won the re-election" is grammatically incorrect? I would have thought it was either "has won re-election" or "has won the election". (Might be wrong here, but it reads rather oddly to me.) AllynJ (talk | contribs) 12:36, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
- Fixed. --BorgQueen (talk) 12:39, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
Concerning the Iranisn election, should we note that the results are controversial and have sparked protests? Kevin Rutherford (talk) 00:58, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
- I agree, this should be mentioned. I stopped here to say the same thing. 67.122.209.126 (talk) 01:24, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
Errors in Selected anniversaries/On this day
For the following:
Martin Luther married Katharina von Bora (pictured), against the celibacy discipline decreed by the Roman Catholic Church for priests.
Please also add this: priests, monks and nuns. 86.96.226.86 (talk) 18:34, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
- Martin Luther did not go against the celibacy discipline for monks and nuns, just the celibacy discipline for priest. He was not a monk, and cannot possibly be a nun. There existed celibacy discipline for monks and nuns, but they did not apply to Martin Luther. --74.14.18.200 (talk) 19:29, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
- Or more exactly, he was no longer a monk. Art LaPella (talk) 20:17, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
Reporters: please first correct the regular version.
Errors in Did you know?
Archive link
The Newest Articles link takes one to a page with most recent entries from 8 June. Is this a link error or a problem at the Newest Articles archive? DavisGL (talk) 07:27, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
- The updating bot hadn't been adding to the archive; I've added the missing entries. Thanks for pointing this out. BencherliteTalk 11:11, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
