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 00:05 on 14 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. (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.

Well, the DYK practice on linking has changed over the last year, with secondary links minimised. It’s on the homepage as it was proposed by the (experienced) nominator. Schwede66 21:22, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Next DYK

For the first hook, the 's after Ludwig Krug probably shouldn't be bolded. I'm not sure though because it is the featured article. SL93 (talk) 21:12, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Okay, noted. I missed the apostrophe. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 21:32, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

BREASTS?! ON THE MAIN PAGE!

Where is the decency in this world?! If I don't die from kissing all these pigs, the shock of seeing those spaniel's ears is sure to finish me off! Surely a cross section of a bra or a blurry purple image of a bra will do? I'm distraught here ... think about the children ... and the kittens! (BTW, "Bra" in German is "Büstenhalter", literally "Bust holder" ... easily my favourite translation EVER!) --LookingYourBest (talk) 05:19, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

We are thinking about children, it is called education. Censorship doesn't work that well and I see no problem with this subject. Enlil Ninlil (talk) 10:05, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Editors say "decency screening = censoring anatomy articles" and "this is no place for kids" but wikimania is using pictures of little 3rd world kids being given wiki-equiped computers for fundraising and if there is no place for decency screening, let's see some kiddie porn. You must agree, so long as policy and concensus is going to say that grannies fanny is not sacred, or that pulling the piss out of the idea is really entertaining, the place is unwell right there. Exposure to such microbes should (eventually) give equal chance to decompose the place or mutate it (swine flu) into a place where sickness has no more ground. (and next thing you couldn't read an article about penis, huh?) People forget that avoiding gang rape means asking the average granny if she fancies everyone seeing under her skirt NOT asking a mob if they are in general favour of wickedness or not. Looters have to be shot eventually or left to die in the disaster zone. 86.46.64.230 (talk) 15:47, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

I have no idea what you have just said, but I fight for your right to say it. Thanks for adding your two pennies. Also, thanks for thinking about the children as Enlil Ninlil suggested ... although I'm not sure that's quite the way they meant! --LookingYourBest (talk) 08:06, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

What has this world come to that anyone could be so shocked at age 30+ of seeing something that was created to nurture that same person at age 0-3 or 4 or 5 or so? To say you are thinking about "the children" as if a child has never seen, touched, suckled on a breast? What on earth did you think breasts were for, if not for children? And someone is worried about children seeing a breast on Wikipedia???? Get a life. We need more breasts on the main page, not less. 199.125.109.77 (talk) 12:16, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

I saw that picture on the main page for five seconds in school and never came back to my mind later. They are just breasts. I think this is a bit of an overreaction. --Cabbage9 (talk) 04:14, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

I can't speak for the editor who initiated this thread, but I'm reasonably certain that they were acting as a straight man so that clowns like me could crack as many bad puns as possible. I don't believe there was any genuine concern about the corruption of the morals of children - most children have seen this kind of thing before, anyway.

Suggestion: Featured Country

Might be fun! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.224.103.240 (talk) 08:06, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Ha ha, yes it would be fun to see all the complaints demanding to know why their country isn't featured. I think we should leave it at the inordinate amount of complaints because of ITN for now, when that dies down maybe do a featured country just to keep the complainers on their toes. Dark verdant (talk) 08:57, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Not if we included historical nations: Wessex, the Sabaean Kingdom, the Kingdom of Burgundy, the Federal Republic of Central America, and the like ;) Modest Genius ^talk 14:45, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

If we could find one for every day of the year, each country would have its own day and they could be recycled each year. Then every country would get its day in the sun and it would happen each year. It would be like deciding TFA, there would be some more obvious dates than others, such as the US on Fourth of July, Wales on First of March, Ireland on Seventeenth of March, Netherlands on Fifth of May, Portugal on Tenth of June, France on Fourteenth of July, Switzerland on First of August and so on. Countries get their holidays posted every year anyway and maybe the Main Page is taken over by them in some cases. Images wouldn't necessarily be maps, symbols like national flowers or vegetables or whatever would do fine. I have to say that I think this is a lot better than the featured user proposal and a lot better than any featured proposal I've heard in a long time. --candle•wicke 16:16, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Within five mintes of the first country going up, the whataboutery would start - "What about the unrecognised right to independence/autonomy/territorial claim/droit de seigneur of the downtrodden people/glorious people/king/guerillas/gorillas of our nation/state/land/island? Why has this not been dealt with in detail, with footnotes, on the Main Page? Evil swine, we demand satisfaction forthwith." Michael of Lucan (talk) 17:16, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

True. Better than featured user though. --candle•wicke 17:30, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Yeah Cornwall would want one for a start and you may have to deal with a lot of very serious Cornish Nationalists who are terribly sure that Cornwall should be an independant nation. Besides you cant put anywhere near as much for Monaco (for example) as you can for major countries.92.8.152.71 (talk) 18:12, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Leaving aside Cornwall, I disagree about Monaco - it's Europe's favourite tax-haven, home of the Monte Carlo rally, and a major stop on the F1 circuit. The King married a movie star. It's political geography is unusual, it's the second smallest country in the world, etc etc. Now, apologise to Monaco! Cheers, This flag once was red^propaganda_deeds 18:21, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

I unreservedly apologise to Monaco and i take full responsibility for my terrible slander. Monaco was only supposed to be an example (admittedly a bad one as i have now realised!). What about the difference between a country with thousands of years of history and one thats 20 years old (admittedly their is history within the country but not OF the country).Willski72 (talk) 19:20, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Well, there's Andorra, but I reckon any small country tends to be interesting. The same applies, I guess, to micronations. On the topic of new country-old country, did you know that the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is only 82 years old?! Cheers, This flag once was red^propaganda_deeds 22:17, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Yeh it used to be the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland but then the Republic of Ireland popped up and ruined the timeline! But Great Britain's over 300 years old though and i'm not quite sure how old each seperate country within Great Britain is!Willski72 (talk) 12:45, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Oh, pr

obably over a millenia for England, Scotland and Wales. I've been thinking of small, new countries but the best I can come up with is Vatican City (1929) but it traces its history back to Papal lands since the dawn of Christianity. I'll keep thinking...!

What about Bahrain, admittedly i dont know very much about it and it probably has much more than i could guess, but possibly less than other nations?Willski72 (talk) 12:57, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Ooh, I had high hopes for Bahrain - its neighbours at first seemed larger and more interesting - but in 1802 "it was governed by a twelve year old child, when the Omani ruler Sayyid Sultan installed his son, Salim, as Governor". Far too interesting to qualify, I'm afraid. What about Norfolk Island? Technically its part of Australia, but I believe its semi-autonomous. They speak a dialect of English (boring!) and don't have much in the way of history (boring!) - if we can call them a country I believe they tick all the right boxes. (Best I can find in the South Pacific; far too much in the way of interesting mythology, tax havens, battles etc). Cheers, This flag once was red^propaganda_deeds 13:13, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Bleedin hell who would of thought it! Looking around the Norfolk Island area what about East Timor? Its an independant nation that is dwarfed by its two neighbours (Indonesia and Australia). Its not actually very small and it probably has quite a big population but surely there isnt a huge amount you can write about it? (I know their probably will be!) I like the Norfolk Island idea, just got to be careful that its allowed in the theoretical Featured Article world!Willski72 (talk) 13:26, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

What am i saying! Featured COUNTRY world. Im sorry!Willski72 (talk) 13:27, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Oh, definitely not, I'm afraid - long struggle for independence, grassroots support campaigns in the developed world, UN peace-keepers - far too interesting ;-) Many of the -stans have interesting histories of struggle with Russia, or economies based on commodities, but I'm wondering whether Central Asia might hold a few dull gems? Cheers, This flag once was red^propaganda_deeds 13:41, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

I really should look these things up before i say them! I know what you mean about the stans, brief flashpoints of interest in history but long periods of not very much happening. Another good point is that as these countries are relatively new as independant nations much of their histories are intertwined and so its not technically the history of that country alone (but thats probably cheating!)Willski72 (talk) 13:56, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Hey, I like the idea. We would just have to be careful that everybody can be included equally with no regard to size, age, notoriety, or politics. I also think that autonomous regions should be included. If there are more than 365, we could just cycle them all through, without assigning a specific day of the year to each.--Falconus^{p t c} 04:13, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Could it be put on a randomiser? Im not sure if thats possible but its a good way of deflecting criticism, unless it 'randomly' chooses the same one over and over again anyway! In that way it wouldnt really matter how many countries you had in comparison to days (unless you wanted to give each country a day!)Willski72 (talk) 09:30, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Featured article notice

I can't work out where it is myself, and I am leaving in minute anyway. The notice should say "The English Wikipedia thanks its contributors for creating over 2,500 featured articles." rather than "The English Wikipedia thanks its contributors for creating over 2,500 Featured articles." There is no need to automatically capitalise "featured"- we never do elsewhere when it is mid-sentence. J Milburn (talk) 19:12, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Is it me, or is the notice slightly wider than the two columns underneath? It would be nice if it aligned properly. Modest Genius ^talk 20:02, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

• Firefox 3. Not only is it slightly wider, but more-so on the right than on the left. I think I could live with it being wider, but the asymmetry is ... who am I trying to kid, I can live with it just fine. But it is a bit messy.

• I tried fixing it here, and while I was able to reduce the width, I can't get it to properly align in a center. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 02:23, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

The banner is wider than the boxes below it because the mp-upper table has a slight (possibly 1px) padding on it between the actual border and it's cells' border. The text in said banner appears to be centered, but doesn't look that way because the Featured Article "column" and In The News "column" are not the same width.

In any case, more than 2500 FAs have been created, beacuse some are delisted. I, for one, do NOT thank the users who have wasted their time simply to create a featured article, and I think the banner should be removed. Physchim62 (talk) 16:36, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

note that many good and proficient editors don't give two hoots about the FA process. The real task is getting the myriad crappy articles up to useful status, and keeping them there. FAs are a nice extra. --dab (𒁳) 16:48, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Oh sure, and I guess I'm one of them - I've never participated in FA: my edits tend towards gnomery and vandal reversion. That shouldn't diminish the FA process, and its contributors, however. Cheers, This flag once was red^propaganda_deeds 17:03, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

In the news picture

I'd recommend reverting back to the Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono picture for the moment. With no picture for the featured article today, the lindane graphic makes the main page look a bit bland. Sillyfolkboy (talk) (edits) 16:58, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Why is there no image for the FA (sorry, that's not directed at Sillyfolkboy in particular - just anyone who knows). The image on The Million Dollar Homepage is quite striking, and too small to advertise anything, as far as I can see. Cheers, This flag once was red^propaganda_deeds 17:01, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

I disagree. While the ChemDraw image is not colorful or spectacular, I really don't see why we have to use male headshot images so often. --BorgQueen (talk) 17:06, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Is their a more colourful picture of lindane? One of it in reality for example (but then if its poisonous not many people will be taking pictures of it!) Or in fact we could even have a picture of one of the other banned substances. In this way we dont have to have a headshot or a black and white drawing.Willski72 (talk) 17:15, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

I agree a picture of a bottle of one of the chemicals or something would look prettier, but I think using a warning symbol would be a little silly- we're an encyclopedia, here to educate, not a blog. The reason there is no image for the featured article is not for advertising reasons, but as the only image in the article is non-free. J Milburn (talk) 17:41, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Ronald Shanabarger

For the article on Ronald Shanabarger in the Did You Know section, I not sure the article should even exist, let alone be on the main page. While a murder of an infant will get some news coverage, there isn't any information provided in the article that indicates the person is notable enough for an article. I think similar articles on people who got breif news coverage for single event are usually deleted at AfD under WP:BIO1E and WP:NOT#NEWS. At the very least, I think the article should be about the event and not the person per WP:BIO1E and Wikipedia:Notability (criminal acts). Calathan (talk) 15:25, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Since no one has responded, I just want to add that I think the page should be renamed to Murder of Tyler Shanabarger and the main page blurb modified so that Tyler's name links to the article. Calathan (talk) 17:44, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

As stated in the big header at the top of this page which is also displayed when you edit this page, errors should be reported to the error report section. As stated in the section, the main page defers to articles. In other words, it's pointless complaining here about a problem which is a holdover from an article that has not been resolved. I suggest you take this to the article talk page and/or WP:BLP/N and/or WP:AFD. As long as the article exists and is new or recently expanded enough then generally speaking it is eligible for WP:DYK. There is no further notability considerations for DYK. Nil Einne (talk) 05:25, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

I don't think there was anything factually wrong with the blurb, so I don't think it would have been appropriate to post my concerns in the error report section (I'm not sure why you are even suggesting that). I do think it would have been appropriate to discuss renaming the page on the talk page for that page, but I figured then I would have to start a second discussion here to have the blurb rewritten, or more likely that no one would read my comments until long after the page was off the main page. I figured things would move faster so the page could be renamed while still on the main page if I posted here, but it turns out I was incorrect, so the issue of rewriting the blurb is now moot.

I hate to be pedantic but it says the British Parliament, i know that that's what it's normally called by most people but technically it is the UK Parliament as Northern Irish MPs sit there as well. Northern Ireland is not part of Britain it is part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. I know im being pedantic but it would give me peace of mind if it was changed and i cant do it myself being no good at these things!Willski72 (talk) 17:09, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
