Main Page error reports

To report an error on today's or tomorrow's Main Page, please add it to the appropriate section below.

  • Where is the error? An exact quote of all or part of the text in question will help.
  • Offer a correction if possible.
  • References are helpful, especially when reporting an obscure factual or grammatical error.
  • Time zones: The current date and time is displayed in Coordinated Universal Time (23:03 on 17 July 2018), not adjusted to your local time zone.
  • Do not use {{edit fully-protected}}, which will not give you a faster response, and in fact causes problems if used here. (See the bottom of this revision for an example.)
  • Done? Once an error has been fixed, or has rotated off the Main Page, or has been acknowledged as not an error, the error report will be removed from this page; please check the page's history for discussion and action taken.
  • No chit-chat: Lengthy discussions should be moved to a suitable location elsewhere.
  • Can you fix the issue yourself? If the error is with the content of an article linked from the main page, consider attempting to fix the problem rather than reporting it here.

  • Is the painting called The Earthquake or simply Earthquake? Inconsistent between hook and caption. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:16, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
  • Report on the Acquiescence of This Government in the Murder of the Jews should be in italics. Man alive, basics... The Rambling Man (talk) 19:29, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
  • I just came to report the same. It is italicized in the article, of course. ☆ Bri (talk) 23:02, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
  • What on earth is a "body servant" and why is this phrase used in the hook and nowhere in the article?? The Rambling Man (talk) 19:30, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
    • See body servant (albeit a redirect). Brandmeistertalk 21:30, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
      • Sure, that doesn't answer the actual question about why such an arcane and unused phrase is in the hook. And not in the article. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:37, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

General discussion

Color of "Featured List" section

I hate seeing the Wikipedia Main Page every Monday, with the pink glare of the "Featured List" section. I understand this section was not part of the original design and has been added at a later time. The selection of pink brings the total number of primary colors used in the page to a whopping four and makes it appear like a children's website. Why not just put it inside the purple "Featured Picture" section, which is in line with the design of the page of having two sections per color? Indeed, lists and pictures do have something in common: both are complements to the main unit of the encyclopedia – the article. Jrmde3 (talk) 16:59, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

For most of us, there are only three primary colors. Daniel Case (talk) 02:56, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
I know that. I used the adjective "primary" in the graphic design sense (meaning non-accent; main), not in the color modeling sense. I am surprised that you chose to nitpick on a single word and leave aside the primary point of my message. Jrmde3 (talk) 16:23, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
