Main Page error report
![]() | 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 04:06 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. (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
Errors with "In the news"
Errors in "Did you know ..."
'that a lyric in the song "Hands on Me" is about Meghan Trainor being unable to have sex due to pelvic floor damage?' How on earth did this get approved? This a gross BLP violation. I looked at the source and it appears to be a joke rather than a serious statement about the lyrics meaning, even if it isn't there is no good reason we should be publishing this information on the front page of Wikipedia. Traumnovelle (talk) 00:50, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- @AirshipJungleman29 @IanTEB @MaranoFan pinging. BorgQueen (talk) 01:00, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- A joke? No, as she followed up that statement with "I'm very open because it's very common and very normal and no one's talking about it..." Can't see where the "gross BLP violation" is personally. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 01:11, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- It's not a joke and Trainor talks about these types of things on her own podcast regularly. The podcast episode the fact comes from was done soon after the song's release and in the immediate promotion of it. Perfectly acceptable.--NØ 01:22, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
Errors in "On this day"
Errors in the summary of the featured list
Errors in the summary of the featured picture
General discussion
US-related things on the front page today.
3/5 images are of Americans today. 5/7 of Did you know items are on US-centric things. Today's Featured article is on an American. Amazingly, only one piece of On this day... is American. They still got the picture though. --85.210.107.124 (talk) 20:27, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
- I conclude from this that we should all redouble our efforts to create or improve articles that are not about American topics, and to take photographs or create images of things that are not American. Start today! What do you have to lose? --Demiurge1000 (talk) 20:53, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
- I picked the Ambrose Burnside picture because of his awesome facial hair. :) —howcheng {chat} 21:03, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
- Chen Guangbiao is hardly American
- Neither is POTD (which was deliberately selected for Australia Day). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:19, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
There's this one day in OTD this year that had 3 US and 2 UK and 0 ROTW blurbs. –HTD 03:34, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
- There's actually one day that has all US-related blurbs (because everything else is ineligible). —howcheng {chat} 04:31, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
- Not even a British or Irish topic? For shame! :P –HTD 15:59, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
Watch the "Featured Article" and "In This Day in News". Those a predominately neutral topics, set on European events on the first page. All I hear is European unrest and cricket/football stats.
I have yet to see any American topics covered on this shitboard.Dirt290 (talk) 17:20, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
Notification of a TFA nomination
In the past, there have been requests that discussions about potentially controversial TFAs are brought to the attention of more than just those who have WP:TFAR on their watchlist. With that in mind: Fuck (film) has been nominated for an appearance as Today's Featured Article. If you have any views, please comment at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests. Thank you. BencherliteTalk 12:33, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
A battle took place
Not sure if this appropriate, but I was almost looking for the article title to be "A battle took place", but somehow I'm thinking that the article title should actually be in the intro paragraph...could someone update that? Hires an editor (talk) 02:00, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
- It wouldn't easy to integrate the article title; usually, per MOS:BOLDTITLE, this isn't exactly best practice as done here, and I believe there is precedent for not bolding the article title/link in TFA blurbs not too long ago. Maybe poke a TFA delegate about this? Cloudchased (talk) 04:18, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
- There are lots of examples for not precisely using the article title in the TFA blurb: 1, 2 examples from last month alone. It seemed the least stilted way of introducing it on the main page, which is why I wrote the blurb like this in the first place. BencherliteTalk 08:47, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
His death should really be mentioned, I think. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ParkinsonProject (talk • contribs)

Five pictures of five white males on the main page today
no other pics to choose from? where are the birdies and old churches when we need them? --76.64.180.9 (talk) 14:11, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
- Five pictures of five white males? Most of these seem to be individual portraits. *serious answer* The last DYK set had a car, and tomorrow's POTD is a French commune. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:21, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
- Not to mention, I don't think there's a single MENTION of a woman on the entire page (unless you count the angel embracing the boy scout... Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 14:24, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
- Li Na is in ITN, but you're correct that it's a very male MP right now. The next DYK set will have a woman riding a horse as the picture, and Pamela L. Gay as a hook. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:30, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
- If people want to help rebalance the main page, they can nominate new articles from yesterday's #ArtAndFeminism event for the Did You Know section Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 14:36, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Best New Artist?
Why was Daft Punk mentioned predominately when Macklemore was clearly the most influential artist at the Grammys? I hate pop culture, but obviously, some sort of favoritism is going on.Dirt290 (talk) 17:33, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
