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 19:06 on 19 September 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"

• 2024 Lebanon pager explosions

The infobox in the article now shows: Deaths: 37 Injured: 3,450+. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 14:03, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

I'm suggesting that the figures on the Main page ITN box should be updated. Martinevans123 (talk) 16:06, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

 Partly done. I updated the deaths but not the injuries. At least in the infobox, I couldn't verify the number against the cited sources. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 16:14, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. I have raised a question at Talk:2024 Lebanon pager explosions. Martinevans123 (talk) 16:30, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

Might be a while, it seems. Martinevans123 (talk) 19:02, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

Current DYK

Slim Pickins DYK hook

Would this violate WP:DYKFICTION? Bremps... 17:40, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

@MaranoFan @Kimikel @PerfectSoundWhatever ping. BorgQueen (talk) 17:47, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

According to most critical reviews of the album, the songs are autobiographical and haven't been interpreted as fictional. Anyways, the hook is long enough and provides enough context that it should be fine, especially compared to some of the absurd stuff that has ran without any issues. Although I wouldn't mind "... that in the song "Slim Pickins", the narrator settles for someone who does not know the difference between "their", "there", and "they are" due to a lack of good men?"--NØ 17:57, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
