To report an error in current or upcoming Main Page content, please add it to the appropriate section below.

  • Where is the error? An exact quotation of all or part of the text in question will help.
  • Please 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 16:03 on 15 August 2022), not adjusted to your local time zone.
  • Do not use {{edit fully-protected}} on this page, which will not give you a faster response; it is unnecessary as this page is not protected and will in fact cause problems if used here, as this is not a talk page. (See the bottom of this revision for an example.)
  • Done? Once an error has been fixed, rotated off the Main Page or acknowledged not to be an error, the report will be removed from this page; please check the revision history for a record of any discussion or action taken, as no archives are kept.
  • No chit-chat: Lengthy discussions should be moved to a suitable location elsewhere, such as the relevant article or project talk page.
  • Please respect other editors. A real person wrote the blurb or hook for which you are suggesting a fix, or a real person noticed what they honestly believe is an issue with the blurb or hook that you wrote. Everyone is interested in creating the best Main Page possible; with the compressed time frame, there is sometimes more stress and more opportunities to step on toes. Please be civil to fellow users.
  • Can you resolve the problem yourself? If the error lies primarily in the content of an article linked from the Main Page, consider first attempting to fix the problem there before reporting it here if necessary. Text on the Main Page generally defers to the articles with bolded links. In addition, upcoming content is typically only protected from editing 24 hours before its scheduled appearance; in most cases, you can be bold and fix any issues yourself.

Errors with "In the news"[edit]

  • Giza church fire - If we're going to insist on posting these disaster stubs can we at least not single out "including several children"? Unlike the Saudi school bus attack it's not at all significant to the story, and including it makes the whole project sound like Helen Lovejoy. --LaserLegs (talk)
    • If it really were a stub, it wouldn't have been posted per requirements. And the cited source in fact says that "majority of dead are children", which simply can't be ignored for ethical and moral reasons. Brandmeistertalk 08:30, 15 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
      580 words, of which 130 are reax. Short, but not a stub per se. -- Sca (talk) 11:59, 15 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
      Two children were killed at the domestic violence in Montenegro then you should update the blurb for that one as well. --LaserLegs (talk) 08:51, 15 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
      But that cited source's headline was only "At least 41 people killed in Egypt church fire, say officials". However, Reuters has "Egyptian church fire kills at least 41, most of them children"[1]Bagumba (talk) 09:44, 15 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I think we can replace several children with at least 18 children. The reason why the child deaths are noteworthy is that this church also hosts a nursery and that area is where the fire broke out. nableezy - 12:00, 15 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
TY for clarifying. If there is room maybe mention the nursery in the blurb. --LaserLegs (talk) 12:30, 15 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Think would be too mealy-mouthed imo, because it isnt a "church and a nursery" but "a church that also hosts a nursery". nableezy - 12:39, 15 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • "Salman Rushdie (pictured), author of The Satanic Verses, is critically injured after a knife attack at a speech in the United States." "Knife attack" doesn't make sense. The wording should be "Salman Rushdie, author of the Satanic Verses, is critically injured after being stabbed in an attack at a speech in the United States. Mr Ernie (talk) 13:55, 15 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Agreed on that. Much more naturally worded. nableezy - 13:58, 15 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Or simply change knife to stabbing. Mr Ernie (talk) 14:01, 15 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    What about the current wording doesn't make sense? -- Pawnkingthree (talk) 14:20, 15 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    How do knives attack? Most sources use "stabbed." Mr Ernie (talk) 14:38, 15 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    Its not that it doesnt make sense, its that it is unnatural. It would be like saying was injured in a gun attack. The natural way to say that is was shot. nableezy - 14:42, 15 August 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
