Revision as of 09:05, 7 April 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 08:14 on 16 September 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 today's or tomorrow's featured article
Wikipedia:Today's featured article
- In tomorrow's FA (Yesterday's Enterprise), I think the picture of Denise Crosby should have a caption, and her mention in the summary should have be tagged with (pictured). —Bruce1eetalk 06:27, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
Errors in In the news
Errors in today's or tomorrow's On this day
Today
- Noticed that it's Raphael's birthday today, but when I clicked on the link, it was some old dude and not the Ninja Turtle. Clearly picked the wrong disambiguation link. ;) - NsTaGaTr (Talk) 13:41, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
Tomorrow
- " issued a Golden Bull to establish" unless it's the formal title of a Golden Bull, e.g. Golden Bull of 1356, it appears that this shouldn't be capitalised, i.e. it should just be "issued a golden bull to..." The Rambling Man (talk) 08:54, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
- In any case Charles University is woefully under-referenced. The Rambling Man (talk) 08:55, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
- "issued a Golden Bull to establish" - the Emperor's Golden Bull did not establish the university, as the article makes clear. Pope Clement VI established it on 26 January 1347. The Golden Bull applied privileges and immunities to the university. 72.201.104.140 (talk) 05:33, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
- Request for Comments - mostly unreferenced. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:01, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
- April 2009 Moldovan parliamentary election protests - article states "The first demonstrations, organized as a flashmob by a 25-year-old Moldovan journalist Natalia Morar,[24] began in Chişinău on April 6, 2009" i.e. they began today, not tomorrow. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:02, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
Current
- The dishabituation blurb violates MOS:YOU, it should probably read something like "that one can enhance their learning while their mind wanders by using dishabituation technique." The Wicked Twisted Road (talk) 00:25, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
- Also, the claim that "a vegan alternative to honey [such and such] is more sustainable" is not supported by the article, which says that the company "aims to produce a sustainable honey substitute," there is no independent evidence supporting the claim, and it isn't even clear that it's true to start with. Not to mention the article has a {{advert}} tag on it. The Wicked Twisted Road (talk) 02:27, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
- I haven't got time to look at this now, but I think the hook should be at least changed, if not pulled. The article also has maintenance tags which are not entirely unwarranted. Black Kite (talk) 08:12, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
