Main Page error reports

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 23:14 on 13 May 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. (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 "Did you know ..."

Current DYK

The puppy was not 14,000 years old when it was cared for, so the current phrasing is incorrect. Please correct, viz:

• ... that 14,000 years ago, ancient humans cared for a puppy?

Nah, it's the "quirky" hook and as such, this is ok. At least in my books. Schwede66 23:07, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Can we add a link to the Teahouse to this section of the Main Page please? Mjroots (talk) 08:34, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

• bump Mjroots (talk)

Mjroots, I suppose see here: [1]. Consensus for doing so was gained but unclear of how to do it. Maybe a new discussion at [2]? The template doesn't appear to be highly watched or experience much traffic, though. Jip Orlando (talk) 17:04, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

@Jip Orlando: what is the actual template in use? Mjroots (talk) 17:16, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

Scrub that, found it. Will see what I can do. Mjroots (talk) 17:16, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

OK, link added. Same wording and link as at top of this talk page. Mjroots (talk) 17:29, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

@Mjroots: For consistency, can the The Teahouse: to ask be changed to The Teahouse – To ask? Bazza (talk) 18:16, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

 Done Mjroots (talk) 18:34, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

@Mjroots: I'm fine with the addition, but maybe we could do without "The" in The Teahouse, for further consistency with e.g. Help desk or Village pump, which could also be preceded with "the" but aren't. — RAVENPVFF · talk · 15:33, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

 Done Mjroots (talk) 15:36, 25 October 2021 (UTC)

@Mjroots: I've taken another look at the section and realised that the links are in alphabetical order. Could we reposition the Teahouse link to conform with this convention? This might be worth another discussion as to what order we should present them in, but I think alphabetical works at present. — RAVENPVFF · talk · 16:05, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

@Ravenpuff: - reordered. I'm just happy that the link is there. Makes finding the Teahouse so much easier. Mjroots (talk) 16:18, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Juventus as the 'most successful Italian football club'

This entry, which was presented as if it was an established truth, doesn't seem correct or looks neutral. What is the measure for 'the most successful football club' in a country? Many would disagree with the statement that Juventus is the most succesful club in Italy and they can back it up with facts and criteria such as, for instance, relevant and international titles, which would not rank Juventus as the most succesful in Italy but Milan, who is Italy's most succesful and the world's second most succesful team in international competitions.

Such bold and arguably not neutral claim in the front-page instantly caught my eye and I think it should be edited. CaptainKaptain (talk) 00:14, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

It's cited within the article itself to a FIFA source; furthermore Football records and statistics in Italy#Most successful clubs overall (1898–present) also presents the case statistically. ᵹʀᴀᴘᴘʟᴇ ꭗ 00:21, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

Why the sustainable energy article won't appear on the main Page

The Sustainable energy article won't appear on the Main Page because it is frozed. The Charles Green Wikipedia article replaces Sustainable energy. Because if it continues to persist, go to the Sustainable energy article--Bernardwebb357 (talk) 00:05, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

Add links to more Wikimedia projects in the Main Page

I saw two extra projects listed in the Wikibooks main page, which are not listed on the Wikipedia main page. Add them! TylerMagee (talk) 20:09, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

Phabricator and Labs are both developer tools, not official projects or likely to be of interest to readers. Modest Genius ^talk 13:44, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

KrinkleBot down

c:Special:Contributions/KrinkleBot is not currently protecting main page files on Commons, files that are going to be used on the main page should probably be uploaded locally and protected or made sure that they are protected on Commons before being used, to avoid unprotected files being used on the main page.
