Please submit error reports only for content that is currently or will imminently appear on the Main Page. For general discussion about the Main Page, kindly use its talk page.

National variations of the English language have been extensively discussed previously: Misplaced Pages does not prefer any national variety of English. While Misplaced Pages strives to use language common to all English varieties, some spelling, grammar, or terminology may differ or be absent in a reader's preferred variety. Refer to the relevant style guide on national varieties of English and see a comparison of American and British English.

To report an error in content currently or imminently on the Main Page, use the appropriate section below.

• It is currently 19:36 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 19:36 on 9 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.

Errors in the summary of today's or tomorrow's featured article

TFA today

The summary says "To the surprise of the civic groups, Canadian and American highway officials attending the opening announced federal funding to cover the bridge costs." But when I read the article, it was 2 Canadian officials and no American showed up at the opening. OhanaUnited 15:02, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

TFA tomorrow

Errors in today's or tomorrow's On this day

OTD today

The "summer blockbuster" links to just "blockbuster", suggest tweaking the span as "summer blockbuster". Brandmeister 08:33, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

OTD tomorrow

• International Yoga Day is actually called "International Day of Yoga" but have you read the 2018 section? Poor tone much? The Rambling Man (talk) 06:08, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

  Not going to pull this for involvement reasons, but I concur that it should be pulled. The event itself is a PR exercise, and the page needs to be rewritten entirely using independent sources before it is featured.

• "National Indigenous Peoples Day" either the article is incomplete/out of date ( "... a statement pledging to rename the event National Indigenous Peoples Day.") or the name is still "National Aboriginal Day". The Rambling Man (talk) 06:11, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

  This could do with more fleshing out. I'll leave it be for the moment (Trudeau seems to have said he'd rename it, after all, we just need someone to add the actual renaming) and pull it if it proves necessary. Vanamonde (talk) 06:16, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

• Marie-Joseph Angélique's death is unreferenced. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:14, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
• "him the very first " no need for "very". The Rambling Man (talk) 06:15, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

  Done. Vanamonde (talk) 06:18, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

• Query: the image used tomorrow does not actually appear in the target article. This is usually a no-no across pretty much all sections of the main page, does that apply here? The Rambling Man (talk) 06:22, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
• "cardinal" is piped to a redirect. The Rambling Man (talk) 06:25, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
