 | 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. |

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 03:28 on 14 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 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.

June 18: Juneteenth (observed, United States) This brand-new federal holiday is officially on June 19, but that is a Saturday this year, and today (June 18) all the banks and government offices are closed. Edit: many banks are normally open Saturday and will observe the holiday tomorrow. Edit: added signature... Wastrel Way (talk) 17:46, 18 June 2021 (UTC) Eric
- Knockcroghery - too much unreferenced material. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 06:45, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
- Definitely needs removing. Lambert was ambushed and died on the 20 June so something's not right with the Knockcroghery article which claims it was carried out in the "early hours of 19 June 1921" as revenge for Lambert's murder - Dumelow (talk) 07:27, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
