19:35, Wednesday, January 22, 2025 (UTC) Main page error reportsTo report an error you have noticed on the current main page or tomorrow's main page please add it to the appropriate section below. You can do this by pressing the button to the right of the section's heading. Also, please sign your post using four tildes (~~~~)
Wikimedia project page for Main Page error reporting Shortcuts | National variations of the English language have been extensively discussed previously:
|
To report an error in content currently or imminently on the Main Page, use the appropriate section below.
Main Page toolbox- Protected pages
- Commons media protection
- Associated
- It is currently 19:35 UTC.
- Purge the Main Page
- Purge this page
- 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 19:35 on 22 January 2025) 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.

Errors with "In the news"
- A series of attacks by the National Liberation Army in the Catatumbo region of Colombia leaves more than a hundred people dead.
The number killed in Catatumbo is erroneous. The figure of 100 comes from France 24 but that is reporting "across three Colombian departments -- from the remote Amazon jungle in the south to the mountainous northeastern border with Venezuela". The breakdown seems to be 80 in the north and 20 in the south so 80+20=100. But these numbers seem to be rough estimates because these regions are quite wild. Andrew🐉(talk) 10:40, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
- Our article doesn't mention attacks outside of the Catatumbo region. Secretlondon (talk) 13:36, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
- The lead of the article is inaccurate as it misrepresents the sources. It also doesn't explain who was attacked and why. This is not a quality article. Andrew🐉(talk) 17:03, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
Errors in "Did you know ..."

"... that the flag of Mozambique ... is the only national flag to feature a modern firearm"

Todays feature article
I think that the todays featured article should be blocked from editing by anyone except admins. This article is the focus of many vandalism attempts, and it would make it easier on everyone to just block it from editors. Smbarnzy 06:58, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
- Smbarnzy, don't take this personally, but this has been suggested many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many times. The answer is no, for the same reasons that we gave when this was suggested yesterday (look up five sections), and the day before, and the day before (and you get the idea). See WP:NOPRO Raul654 07:05, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

No more cricket, Please!!
I noticed that there are quite a few articles (too many!) and references to cricket of late in the main page. Cricket is a sport popular in just a handful of countries...It looks like a bias to me, really. Perhaps what I am saying makes no sense, but it is my impression. vaceituno 00:00, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
- This is no more a bias than if we had a main page article on the FIFA World Cup during that event. The Cricket World Cup is taking place as I type. Whilst certainly not popular in all countries, it is definitely an international competition and is, in fact, popular in most Commonwealth and former Commonwealth nations. Brown168 07:41, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
Regardless of whether Cricket gets too many references, it deserves one today, the start of the world cup is an important event for the sport, and therefore hundreds of millions in South Asia and many elsewhere. Shane1
- The articles that are chosen are Feature articles, which means we rate them as the absolute best on Misplaced Pages. It is not our fault that the cricket-editing Wikipedians want to write superb articles on what they enjoy. If you want other sports or other topics to dominate the main page, I suppose you should start contributing to some FAs or Did you knows! Gizza 10:37, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
Not the best juxtaposition
The first news item is about the capture of a Taliban official. The eye moves to the right and immediately lands on a photo of Abdoulaye Wade, recently reelected as president of Senegal. That news item is a significant number of lines down from the photo. The photo placement implies a connection between the Taliban and Wade, and that insinuation, whether intended or not, is inappropriate. Not all readers, skimming the page, will read that Wade is in fact president of Senegal. — Emiellaiendiay 08:01, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry, but that seems like farcical argument, at best. It doesn't imply anything, all it highlights is the inability of (what I presume to be a, a minute number of) users to read content before forming a connection. Would you even have made the same argument had the image been of a white man? RonaldDonald33 13:56, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
- Does your minute number of users include those who are not familiar with Misplaced Pages and its practice of using "(pictured)" on the main page to indicate which story corresponds to the picture? You know, those people who would be tricked by their common sense in figuring that a story and a picture positioned side by side correspond to one another? I think you should take his argument more seriously. Punctured Bicycle 14:51, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
- This issue has been discussed many times before. There is a reason why we can't change the position of the photo (it screws up the layout for other pages) and there is a reason we can't change the photo (we don't have a suitable one that's free) so there is no real solution. In any case, would either of you be complaining if we had a picture of say Bush or Obama or Royal or Francis J. Harvey? Nil Einne 22:05, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
- One solution I've heard is to caption the pictures, so one can see quickly that the picture is of Abdoulaye Wade, and not of Mullah Obaidullah Akhund. I forget what the reason given against it was, though. -- 22:38, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

I think you should take his argument more seriously. Punctured Bicycle 14:51, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
- Captioning might be an idea but I assume there is a reason it won't work. I still think it isn't a major problem. And I still wonder whether editors aren't giving readers enough credit. I personally don't think the majority are that stupid and if they are, well tough IMHO :-P I mean seriously, it's not as if Abdoulaye Wade looks remotely like Mullah Obaidullah Akhund. He's Senagalese while Mullah Obaidullah Akhund is Afghani. Nor does Abdoulaye Wade look particularly like Mullah who belonged to the Taliban government. Nil Einne 17:39, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- I also notice this problem often, so I don't think it is a matter of affecting a small number of people. Also, I can't imagine what race has to do with it. If the face is unfamiliar, the placement is ambiguous. I would very much like to know why captions are out. This sort of thing wouldn't fly in a newspaper front page, so why should it fly here? Hell, the fact that the photo is not (obviously) credited makes it look amateurish... but I digress --Lionelbrits 00:46, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
- Perhaps, to avoid confusion, use a picture of only the top news article? When you think about every news article at some point will be the newest and therefore at the top, next to the picture - so perhaps the picture should belong to the top article. Rather than change the position of the picture, change what the picture is. Tourskin.
- Well as I explained,we often can't because there is no free photo to illustrate the top article. Nil Einne 17:39, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- Whilst I can't really offer a solution as I'm not familiar enough with Misplaced Pages, I have found - and still do find - ...confusion when reading the news. The fact is that many - me included - don't read it properly and associate whatever picture there is with the nearest article. It has little to do with the race of the person - I'm pretty sure a while ago a picture of a plane or something was next to text about a person and I still did a double-take. It's not that I can't be bothered to read and take note of '(above)', it's that connections have already been made in my brain before I've read the full piece. Benedictwest 03:31, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
- I understand that the newest news items are added to the top of T:ITN to keep the events in order, but if false image association is as much of a problem as some people are claiming, another solution would just be to have the story on the top line be the newest one which has an available free image, followed by the remaining stories. timrem 23:33, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- That's been suggested before, along with a lot of other ideas. I and others have even gone as far as making mockups of what it might look like. But for some reason none of these ideas have gained enough consensus to be implemented. --Monotonehell 00:14, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Valentina Tereshkova
The first woman in space turns seventy today, but our Main Page is perfectly ignorant of the fact. Ditto about Gabriel García Márquez, who turns eighty. Please fix it. --Ghirla 14:17, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not sure where that information would go. It certainly wouldn't go in the "In The News" section, being not particularly newsworthy or having an updated article. Unless the articles on these people are newly created, the information is ineligible for "Did You Know". And I think one would have a difficult time arguing that these birthdays are more important than any of the listings in "On This Day". --Maxamegalon2000 14:34, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- I can't care less about Magellan being greeted by the people of Guam and about some obscure battle from the Mexican history. These events happened 486 and 171 years ago, respectively. Could you give us some particular reason what is so compelling about these dates? Both Tereshkova and Marquez are alive and well-known (outside the US at least), and there is little chance that these outstanding people will be alive in ten years. --Ghirla 14:55, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- On 25 September I had to argue that Dmitri Shostakovich's 100th anniversary is notable enough to be mentioned on Main Page. Many American people seemed to be quite ignorant of who Shostakovich is. I'm sick of this attitude. It is your project, please run it as you think best. I have Russian Misplaced Pages to work in. Goodbye. --Ghirla 15:35, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- There is nothing notable about anyone's birthday, no matter how famous (unless their birthday becomes a national holiday somewhere). Marquez is extremely famous, and Tereshkova is somewhat famous, but neither's birthday is significant in the least. America-baiting ("outside the US, at least") does nothing to help your cause, either. —Cuiviénen 15:22, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- I have no "cause" to care about and I find your aggressive response extremely disappointing. I would like to see some more wikilove on the main page talk, guys. Your opinions that some arbitrarily chosen events which happened 486 years ago are more "notable" than the 80th birthday of the most acclaimed of living authors and the 70th birthday of the first woman to leave the Earth remain... your opinions, and quite US-centric at that. --Ghirla 15:30, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- Please do not try to claim a desire for Wikilove while baiting. It doesn't get you anywhere. I'm not sure what, exactly, Magellan's voyage is supposed to have to do with Amerocentrism, nor do I understand your insistence that birthdays are important. Tereshkova, Marquez, these people were nothing at their birth, and what day they were born on had absolutely no impact on what their accomplishments were. The anniversary of Tereshkova's flight and of the publication of Cien años de soledad (or of one of Marquez's other works such as El amor en los tiempos del cólera, though those are less famous) are worthy of the Main Page (and are probably on the OTD list; I haven't checked), but their birthdays are not. —Cuiviénen 20:22, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- Following your logic, Marquez will be mentioned on the day when Cien años de soledad was first published (or its first American edition, eh)? If you check the article, you will see that it happened 40 years ago. --Ghirla 15:46, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- It has nothing to do with US-centrism, or any country for that matter. It has to do with the fact that we don't put birthdays on the main page. The event that is the birthday is of little importance; its the events that those individuals participated in that are important, and the dates for those events should be properly credited on the main page. Unless she flew in space on her birthday, there's no reason to mention her birthday on the main page. — BRIAN0918 • 2007-03-06 15:39Z
- Hello, Ghirla. Thank you for your suggestions. Honestly, I am not that big on birthdays. For me to post a birthday on MainPage, the birthday boy or girl must be really, really notable and it should be a centenary or some nice, big, round number like 250, 750, ... etc. I'm afraid Tereshkova's 70th birthday and Márquez's 80th birthday fall short on both fronts. If I am putting any birthdays on MainPage this year, it would be Leonhard Euler's 300th birthday on April 15. BTW, Tereshkova is scheduled to be on MainPage on June 16, the anniversary of her historic flight. --PFHLai 16:20, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- Your response does make sense to me. On the other hand, Brian should finally learn to handle complaints in a constructive way, something which he has spectacularly failed to do after all these years in the project. --Ghirla 17:15, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry if I got into this discussion late, but rule #1 of WP:SA#Criteria for listing items on this set of pages does currently state that "births and deaths can only be used on centennials, etc." But as I mentioned to another user , I am not a big fan of listing any centennial of a birth or death since we might have to remove another entry that may have more international significance. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 04:54, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
- I think centennials etc. are proper when there are very major cultural events marking the anniversary, like with the Mozart 350th last year.--Pharos 05:22, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
- Define "very major". Some might assume that a 3-person cult-follower party is major... ~user:orngjce223 how am I typing? 21:02, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
- Common sense would suffice. There is no need to count heads or anything like that.... --PFHLai 22:11, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

SA/OTD: US-centric
- Moved from WP:ERRORS
I've often thought Misplaced Pages is very US-centric. Looks like these featured articles confirm that, given that every one of them relates to the US is some form or another.
Shame really. Fizzackerly 13:08, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- Suggestions of anniversaries are always welcome. Please see Misplaced Pages:Selected anniversaries for details. Please also note that sometimes there are not that many qualifying items to choose from. For now, an item about Giuseppe Verdi, a noted composers of Italian opera, is added, displacing an U.S. item. Hope this helps. --PFHLai 18:12, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- Your two options are to either sit back and scowl or write some articles. Which seems more productive? — BRIAN0918 • 2007-03-09 18:56Z
- One might reflect about how most articles in the English language Misplaced Pages are written by Americans, who presumably know more about America than other countries, just as people in other countries know more about their own country than America, rather than accusing Misplaced Pages of being biased.John R S 23:05, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Random Article within some Category?
I would love to be able to look at a random article in science/technology. Is there any way to do something like this? Vincecate 23:10, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- As far as I know, no! --Meno25 01:29, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
No no there is a way. I have already tried it out. Ill get back with the details Pozhan 09:05, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- Well, you can click Special:Random until you get a science/technology article, or you can find an appropriate category page and click a link at random. Can't think of anything other than that – Qxz 13:41, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Featured Article's picture
Could not a better picture be used on the main page. Instead of some crummy photo - that doesn't even feature the title character - we could instead use the screenshot of the opening title sequence, or the cast in makeup. Surely its still fair use oon the main page? --Kronecker 01:13, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- The pictures in the Main Page must be free pictures. We can't use copyrighted pictures. --Meno25 01:22, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- The only exception is when Today's Featured Article has absolutely, positively no free pictures. Unfortunately, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer has a free image, even if it is only one, and therefore that has priority to be put on the main page. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 01:27, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- Unfortunately?? Garion96 (talk) 08:51, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, becaues it is such an awful one, it is almost worse than no image at all, IMO. ffm 16:31, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- I don't think it's that bad. The trouble is, such a small thumbnail of photos showing such a large number of people never works well. We could crop it but as Kronecker says, without the title character it's not clear what to crop. BTW, even if we didn't have this and the several other Buffy related pictures on commons, we do have a Sarah Michelle Gellar free photo, nothing to do with Buffy and indeed postdating the end but potentially it could be seen as connected enough to the show to replace whatever you may prefer Nil Einne 16:36, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

- I'm not quite sure what you mean by cast in makeup but if you mean just a general photo of the cast in makeup, note that this probably won't qualify as fair use in any case IMHO. I don't think it's likely to be seen as unique enough compared to a free photo which may resonably replace it. Unless of course there was something particularly noteable about the use of makeup on the show. We do use in in show shots sometimes under fair use but along with the title sequence tends to be all that qualifies for fair use. Obviously as others have pointed out we don't use photos under fair use for the main page when we have free photos whatever the case Nil Einne 16:36, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Mention of tv networks in TFA
Hmmm, not sure the caption is doing much to combat WP:BIAS. I live in the UK, and Buffy first aired for me on channel 4, then on Sky One. Fair enough mentioning writers and production companies, as well as the success it bought them, but I'm not so sure about those who brought the show to the American masses. Perhaps I'm missing something? — Jack · talk · 01:47, Saturday, 10 March 2007
- I would imagine it has to do with the American networks' influence on the show's budget and existence. I mean, if no British network wanted the show, it probably wouldn't affect the show's existence, but if no U S network wanted it, the show would be cancelled. Heh, I made this edit on my Wii. Awesome. --Maxamegalon2000 02:06, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- Please stop Wii-ing on Misplaced Pages. ;) Or is it Wii-kipedia now? --Monotonehell 02:49, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- Wiikipedia, the friii encyclopedia – Qxz 13:40, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- Consider, Jack, that Buffy aired, like other successful shows, in something like 20 countries. We cannot list all of the networks that the show aired on in the caption, so we list just the network for which it was produced, the network it originally aired on, the network that made the decision on whether it would be canceled or renewed each year, which was WB (and later UPN) and not Channel 4.

Today's picture
How can I email today's picture to someone - can I email it? I think we should hacve that option, if possible.Tourskin 18:53, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
- The easiest way would be to save the image to your computer and then email that file. As for adding the functionality, I guess the best place to propose that would be at the Village pump Koweja 19:03, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Misplaced Pages Statistics are 6 months out of date
I went to have a look at the Misplaced Pages Statistics "Charts and Table" section, and I found that it has not been updated since October. Who updates it and how - I would be happy to assist, but I feel that someone should certainly be doing it. David Spart 11:08, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
- Time to re-activate Misplaced Pages:Statistics Department ? You may want to bring this up at Misplaced Pages talk:Statistics and the Village Pump. This has little to do with MainPage. You'll get a better response on those discussion pages than here. Hope this helps. --PFHLai 12:06, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Count of FA on main page.
Hi, Can we have the total count of FA on main page?
- redirect Template:FA number Featured Articles as on today!!!
--Nirajrm 14:52, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
- You'd have to get that template protected first – Qxz 15:41, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, it use to be on the main page, but removed a couple of weeks ago due to technical reasons. I do not recall the specifics, but it seems that the bot updating the template had trouble when it was being transcluded on a cascading protected page such as the main page. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 15:43, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
- There may have been a problem like that I think, don't know if it was fixed but I think the main problem at the moment is the bot died and the person who created it didn't have a backup nor any time to fix or run the bot. Wait found it in the archives User:Jmax-bot and /Archive_92#FA count off Main Page. Nil Einne 20:09, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Archival
As User:Werdnabot is currently unavailable due to a malfuction, I've been bold, removed the Werdnabot stuff (wouldn't want them fighting) and put in a request to User:MiszaBot/Archive requests Nil Einne 21:01, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
- It's done, all hail Misza! :-) Nil Einne 21:57, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
- Was it a bloodless coup, or has W.bot gone on "permanent vacation"? ;) Viva la revolucion! ;) --Monotonehell 00:23, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
minor formatting issues just below welcome to wiki
Hi. On very small screens or small windows it is evident that the text under the first box of the main page that is aligned to the left (reading "Overview · Editing · Questions · Help") is not level with the text aligned right (which reads "Contents · Categories · Featured content · A–Z index"). In the interest of standardisation, the text from "end portals" should read:
<!-- End Portals -->
{|style="width:100%;background:none;margin:-.8em 0 -.7em 0"
|style="font-size:95%;padding:10px 0;margin:0px;text-align:left;white-space:nowrap;color:#000"|

Interwiki links on the Main Page
A link to Cebuano wiki is shown on the Main Page of English wiki, and languages which are apparently much better, but have fewer articles than Cebuano are not. Is this not a reason to reconsider the criteria interwiki links appear on the Main Page? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.45.81.145 (talk) 05:42, 13 March 2007 (UTC).
- Saying that a language is "much better" is inherently a subjective judgment which we won't get into. The number of articles is the litmus test we are applying. Titoxd 08:27, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
- I meant wikipedias on other languages, not languages itself. And I was questioning exactly the adequacy of the litmus test. Why not think about other litmus tests? Like, one abvious (I think) improvement (of the litmus test) would be to expel wikies with Depth less than 1. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.45.81.145 (talk) 11:25, 13 March 2007 (UTC).
- No statistical measure of quality can be truly accurate. Counting articles at least has the virtue of being simple. --Cherry blossom tree 11:51, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

paris del helles daily 03132007
Paris del helles daily for 03132007. Cchwnn. Kingsville,tx. Heaveno once again raza. Let’s hope que many of you all had a great time at this years fan fare. Today is a very special day for us. We have a report from our French correspondent for the “ PARIS DEL HELLES DAILY” Francisco Delgado De Gaulle. Well its that time again, now for the headline news for today:
Vato staggering along west Richard, local residents call constables office.
Homeless family asked to more, no camping allowed inside the city barrio limits.
La commadre de la commadre hit by truck.
And finally from our French correspondent Francisco Delgado del Gaulle, with the story que a man alleged that a storeowner threatened him with a weapon.
Last night los vatos locos volunteer firefighters were called on an 811 call. Its seems que la commadre Susana, call 811 after her commadre GIGI got hit by a passing truck while she stood in the middle of the street. Before the vatos could get there it seems que la commadre managed to get up and she got her self-checked into the hospital. But before constable cadena could get there, it seems que la commadre had already checked herself out of the hospital. The constable report stated que the truck was not damage.
Earlier this morning a barrio resident living at the 300 west Richard st. call the constable cadena office wanting to report que a vato had just passed her home and he seemed to be staggering. Once the constable got there it seems que he had already spoken to this dude twice this evening. Constable cadena stated que he had already determined que esta vato was not intoxicated.
And a police unit from across the tracks, stopped an inspected a car that was parked in a no parking zone. It seems que this people were napping in their car on third and wells street. Well somehow or another this car somehow qualified as a campers the police report indicated. And since this side of town had already passed a new municipal code, outlawing no camping in the hood. The people were asked to move on or be hauled and tow to jail.
Now from Paris France here is Francisco Delgado del Gaulle, (for translation visit altavista fish)
