  • 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 15:02 on 23 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 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.

In the 4th hook of Queue 1, Guinness Book of World Records should be italicized and changed to Guinness Book of Records, which is the non-US title used in 1989. It's the title used in the article's English source (although it's misspelled there). MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 21:48, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

Also, in the 7th hook, I'd recommend a comma after "died". MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 21:48, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

As the nominator I would disagree with the suggested additional comma in the 7th hook, but I don't really care. Gog the Mild (talk) 22:04, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
I agree with Mandarax on the comma, and I would also spell out "23 million" rather than all those zeroes. I'm posting this at ERRORS for a quicker response. Yoninah (talk) 23:01, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
