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 (11:09 on 10 April 2016), 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.

General discussion
Iceland
So I saw in the "In The News" section that the Prime Minister of Iceland had resigned. I'm just curious as to why it was changed to "steps aside". Uvinno (talk) 18:31, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Uvinno: He suspended himself, he didn't step down for good —Nizolan (talk) 20:58, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
- Why do we not just say "resigned temporarily"? "Step aside" is idiomatic and colloquial.--WaltCip (talk) 13:42, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
- Is it possible to "resign temporarily?" If there's a common usage in the news, we should use it.--Jim in Georgia Contribs Talk 15:03, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
- Possibly use "Steps down for an undefined amount of time" ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 19:39, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
- Why do we not just say "resigned temporarily"? "Step aside" is idiomatic and colloquial.--WaltCip (talk) 13:42, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
