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 08:36 on 19 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.

Errors in today's or tomorrow's On this day

April 21 lists Fast of the Firstborn. This is actually on April 22 this year, as listed in Fast of the Firstborn The Fast normally takes place the day before Passover. I suspect the incorrect date may have come from the situation where when Passover starts on Saturday night where the Fast can't take place on Saturday and is pushed back to Thursday instead of Friday - but that is not the case this year. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Manassehkatz (talk • contribs) 01:32, 21 April 2016 (UTC)

OK, I've moved Fast of the Firstborn to tomorrow's date - is tomorrow's entry now correct in saying that Fast of the Firstborn starts at dawn and Passover starts at sunset? Bencherlite^Talk 08:17, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
