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 15:57 on 16 July 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"

King of Hearts, I don't know whether you have this page on your watchlist. You've had something to do with both the items below; just bringing this to your attention. Schwede66 09:49, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Wimbledon

• The Euro 2024 blurb should probably be above the tennis one: the final took place after both Wimbledon finals. Kingsif (talk) 04:12, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

  Nah. Same day. The one with the picture goes on top. When we want to feature the player of the game (I've protected an image), we can swap them over. Schwede66 04:52, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

  I did not see this when posting the blurb; I simply followed my intuitive understanding of blurb ordering. Now that I've reviewed WP:ITN/A again, I see that the instructions do not require a blurb that is newer by a few hours to be on top, but also I don't see anything requiring a blurb with an accompanying picture to be on top. So I think it's up to discretion. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 15:57, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

UEFA Euro and Copa America

I don’t think a combined blurb was the right decision for these two unrelated events, especially when we have a combined blurb for Wimbledon as a single event with multiple different tournaments. This is delusive.--Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 06:02, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

• Yes, I objected to this as well and was overruled. They should really be separate blurbs. Black Kite (talk) 10:01, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
• I do acknowledge that there was some opposition to a combined blurb, but overall I found support for it to be stronger. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 15:24, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
  • I quite like the combination, as someone who watched both finals. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:37, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
