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 04:43 on 16 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.

General discussion

Viewer Tally Bias Joji vs Mark Dice

Let me preface by stating I was a regular donor, and editor, from various addresses more recently, for about a decade and a half. That is ending without some serious change. Per the multiple stories about Joji_(musician) being involved in suggesting suicide to children, I think we've found a glaring example of hypocrisy by the Wikipedia "Community" or at least utter derangement by some of the editors. You can find a news story verifying this man's involvement. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/youtube-kids-inappropriate-horrified-mom-discovers-suicide-instructions-in-video-on-youtube-and-youtube-kids/ What brings me to my conclusion that I can no longer support this "project" or anything this "project" produces, is not this man's apparent insanity. It's the obvious discontinuity between the treatment of his page, which up to my edit this morning had his subscriber numbers and views, and the Absolute Censorship of a political commentator who does half-assed "man on the street" interviews with idiots, but who holds political views in opposition to some people in San Francisco and the rest of a bunch of socialists. Your editors, knowing they have these pages, knowing they could work in equity, have removed Mr. Dice's history, restricted his current events, and the Youtube numbers which exceed most of the "mainstream stars," and have decided that a man who subverted YoutubeKids to suggest that children kill themselves should continue being promoted in this way. It's clear bias. It's Utter Bullshit. Your editors have lost their handles, or they're exposing the intents you had from the outset. And you're utterly horrible as an entity, to me, as long as this bias continues. Solve it, remove all of these numbers, or let anyone have it. And stop censoring people's profiles from regular updates based on the biases of the editors. 173.15.73.108 (talk)

Brie Larson

Is about to be the main page article next month. There is a huge internet controversy regarding her and Rotten Tomatoes happing now which is not covered in the article. So, it shouldn't but put up as is. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) 07:29, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

Feel free to edit the Brie Larson and include anything relevant that you think is missing. The Rambling Man (talk) 07:31, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

"huge internet controversy"? Where are the sources that call it such? Rotten Tomatoes is just preventing review bombing. This is such a non-issue. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 07:35, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

Preventing review-bombing from groups with an agenda being rallied on social media is pretty common practice. All major sites that allow user reviews have mechanisms in place for this.

It's only "controversial" among those people who are trying to abuse the review system in the first place. ApLundell (talk) 04:14, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

Regardless, that has nothing to do with Brie Larson in particular. The places where it would belong might be Captain Marvel (2019 film) or perhaps Rotten Tomatoes. —howcheng {chat} 05:03, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

The "huge internet controversy" is nothing more than yet another case of "MRAs and other alt-rights are mad about a strong woman or women in movies". Not something that should derail her being a featured article. Acalamari 07:13, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

Template:*mp

There is a discussion about whether {{*mp}}, a now-deprecated template that used to be used in ITN/DYK/OTD and which was deleted once and then undeleted (by me), should be deleted again. Your input at Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2019 February 26#Template:*mp is requested. —howcheng {chat} 01:12, 27 February 2019 (UTC)
