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 16:36 on 9 November 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.

edit- George Floyd was murdered in May 2020. If June 2020 refers to the date of his funeral, the sentence should be rewritten. —71.105.243.101 (talk) 12:13, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
- The date should be May. The main article also makes this error. Thank you for spotting it. Gog the Mild (talk) 12:26, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
Errors with "In the news"
editErrors in "Did you know ..."
edit- ... that the Holy See has an official anime mascot?
From the article's lede: the official mascot of the Catholic Church's 2025 Jubilee
. That wasn't actually verified in the body, but I just fixed that (existing source [1] verified). Even with that fixed, though, this does not make her the mascot of the Holy See, or even of the Catholic Church (which is not the same thing). [2], cited for her representing the Church at an event, calls her "the Vatican's official mascot for the 2025 Jubilee", which is ambiguous as to whether she's the mascot of the country or the event, but either way I don't think bleedingcool.com is an expert on mascots of the Vatican. So I'd suggest either ... that the Catholic Church's 2025 Jubilee has an official anime mascot or ... that the Holy See has been represented by an anime mascot. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (they|xe) 05:57, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
- Furthermore, the mascot is not "anime" in the usual sense of being a product of Japanese animation. At best it is an anime-inspired mascot, tokidoki is an Italian firm and as far as I know, there is zero input from any Japanese companies or artists. wound theology◈ 12:00, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
- The article says "has been compared to anime". Nothing saying it is anime, or anime inspired. Secretlondon (talk) 15:30, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
- ... that Kent Brushes have supplied their products (examples pictured) to every British monarch since George IV?
This entry is illustrated with a picture of shaving brushes. Of all the British monarchs since George IV, the two longest serving - Victoria and Elizabeth II, who collectively reigned for almost double the time of all the others combined - were women. I suggest that a picture of a shaving brush, typically used by men, may not be appropriate here. I propose File:Kent brushes 1872.png instead. Mitch Ames (talk) 06:14, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
- The alternative image isn't very readable at thumbnail size, and the hook says "examples pictured", without guarantee that the examples used are representative of every British monarch. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (they|xe) 06:23, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
- Hee-hee, yeah nah - Shhh, some women shave too:) - Who knows, the queens may have had their lady-in-waiting lather them up and do their legs! Forgive me. JennyOz (talk) 07:22, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
- The royal warrant of appointment system marks the supply of a product to a royal household, irrespective of who uses the product. The original picture is fine. Bazza 7 (talk) 11:30, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
