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 14:09 on 21 November 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.

Errors with "In the news"
editErrors in "Did you know ..."
editLeonardo
edit- ... that Leonardo DiCaprio was set to star in the film adaptation of Leonardo da Vinci?
The article tells us that "It was decided that Leonardo DiCaprio (who is named after the polymath) would play Leonardo da Vinci. This did not work out...". So, the casting of DiCaprio was not a definite fact as it doesn't seem to be happening. WP:NFF explains that 'there is no "sure thing" production' and so advises caution about movies until they start principal photography.
The nomination didn't say much about the hook. Instead the nomination was failed initially for lacking good content about the topic, which is a book. This is still an issue for the hook, which ought to be about the book rather than a movie which may still never happen. WP:DYKMAJOR says we should "avoid hooks that are primarily about an incident the subject is only tangentially related to."
