Errors in the summary of Today's featured article on the Main Page

Errors in In the news

Err, don't we have a policy that elections are only included once someone has actually won them? This was one of the major reasons for keeping the US primaries off. Modest Genius ^talk 20:58, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Since that's not really an error, it is better discussed at Wikipedia:In the news section on the Main Page/Candidates or Template talk:In the news. 68.248.227.4 (talk) 22:12, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I can tell, it was never even listed on Candidates Modest Genius ^talk 22:26, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Then you should take a new discussion to WT:ITN Nil Einne (talk) 01:51, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Interest rates

See Talk:Main_Page#Interest_rates_cut:_biggest_since_when.3F -Halo (talk) 22:16, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the blurb sounds awkward. I suggest rephrasing to 'Stock markets worldwide fall sharply, prompting the U.S. Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by 0.75% to 3.5%, the largest single cut since August 1982.' or whatever date is correct Modest Genius ^talk 22:22, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It was since October 1984, not August 1982. Read the reference in the article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_2008_stock_market_downturn#_ref-6 -- Puddyglum (talk) 00:06, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Errors in Selected anniversaries/On this day

Errors in Picture of the Day/Today's featured picture

Hi, in the caption it talks about the moss being 1 inch thick then gives conversion to centimeters. In may be a template issue but the resulting text reads "1 in" rather than "1 inch". Benjiboi 02:15, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think "in" is simply the official abbreviation of Inch. I put the long name instead though. -- lucasbfr ^talk 10:19, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There's no full stop after the first sentence of the caption. 76.230.238.132 (talk) 05:58, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Corrected already, I think. -- lucasbfr ^talk 10:19, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That was the misnamed "regular" version Template:POTD/2008-01-23. I made both changes to the "protected" version Template:POTD protected/2008-01-23 that shows on the Main Page. Art LaPella (talk) 14:52, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ENTALLY that Entally was home to the poor and the depressed, and a neighborhood where Mother Teresa started her active life in Kolkata, India? -should be neighbourhood - Commonwealth English spelling, as in the article. 86.134.30.105 (talk) 16:07, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
