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 21:35 on 1 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, determined not to be an error, or the item has 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 featured picture

There is a repetition in this sentence: There were 445,500 specimens of this Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle were minted in 1933 . . .

I corrected that to: 445,500 specimens of this Saint-Gaudens Double Eagle were minted in 1933 . . . in the regular version.

Fixed, although someone who knows about capitalization should comment here on whether it should be "double eagle" (article title), "Double Eagle" (link in blurb), or "Double eagle" (where that link actually goes). --Floquenbeam (talk) 00:23, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

I'm told by an expert that it should be lower case, so I've fixed the blurb to be consistently lower case. Plus I see someone just fixed the unprotected version the same way, which is always a nice confirmation. --Floquenbeam (talk) 00:39, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Not bad astrony but best astronomy

There appears to be a piece of vandalism on the main page in the DYK section. The Discover price was not for Bad Astronomy Photgraph but for Best astronomy photograph.
