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 15:56 on 25 December 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.

• I uploaded a cropped version of the image featured in the blurb, which looks better in my opinion. Does anybody know which page to purge to make that one display instead?--NØ 15:54, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

  Your cropped one is showing to me now, the one with little of the red at the bottom? Stephen 01:52, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

• Q2, 6th hook, "that Planting a Rainbow has been..." Didn't that hook already appear on 23 December? Or, did it get pulled? JennyOz (talk) 11:11, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

This looks like an error

Promoted to Prep 2 here on 18 December

Swapped to Queue 6 here on 20 December by Crisco 1492 but not removed from Prep 2 TSventon (talk) 11:29, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

Ugh, that's my bad. When I promoted that queue, I recognized that as something I had reviewed earlier, but didn't notice we had just run it. Good catch! I'll pull it. RoySmith (talk) 14:29, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

• Crud. I could have sworn I'd removed it from prep at the time. Good catch.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 14:58, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
