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 08:51 on 29 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.

• Not really an error, but unnecessary use of space - in the born/died section, Worsley can be listed as Beatrice Worsley without her middle name. I made this change a day or so ago on the template, not sure how it went back to the full name. MurielMary (talk) 03:27, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
  • I agree -  Done Mjroots (talk) 11:05, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
• Victory in Europe Day - section tagged for ref improve. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:00, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
• Parents' Day - while it appears to be the Korean observation, the article lead is dreadful and the infobox is utterly US-centric, not reflecting the date in question. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:23, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

Current

While it states that King Kaluha was the hand-picked opponent for Dr. Death's comeback after battling throat cancer, the Dr Death article actually states the opposite: that he was hesitant about fighting him, but ultimately was appreciative of the choice.

• The promoter hand picked him, not Steve Willians, so the statement is true.  MPJ-DK  21:22, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

Dr. Death is a disamb link. Should be "Dr. Death" Steve Williams. Primergrey (talk) 03:56, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

• It is only a DAB in Philoogick's post - the actual DYK post is correct.  MPJ-DK  03:59, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
