Main Page error reports
To report an error in current or upcoming Main Page content, 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.
- Please 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 18:35 on 17 August 2021), not adjusted to your local time zone.
- Do not use {{edit fully-protected}}, which will not give you a faster response; it is unnecessary as this page is not protected and in fact causes problems if used here. (See the bottom of this revision for an example.)
- Done? Once an error has been fixed, rotated off the Main Page or acknowledged not to be an error, the report will be removed from this page; please check the page's revision history for any discussion or action taken, as no archives are kept.
- No chit-chat: Lengthy discussions should be moved to a suitable location elsewhere.
- Please respect other editors. A real person wrote the blurb or hook to which you are suggesting a fix, or a real person noticed what they honestly believe is an issue with the blurb or hook that you wrote. Everyone is interested in creating the best Main Page possible; with the compressed time frame, there is sometimes more stress and more opportunities to step on toes. Please be civil to fellow users.
- Can you resolve the problem yourself? If the error lies primarily in the content of an article linked from the Main Page, consider first attempting to fix the problem there before reporting it here if necessary. Text on the Main Page generally defers to the bolded articles. In addition, upcoming content is typically only protected from editing 24 hours before its scheduled appearance; in most cases, you can be bold and fix any issues yourself.

- Ashura - article infobox says it's on 19 August this year. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 10:20, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
- At this point, I don't think I've seen an Islamic holiday set to go on MP that hasn't been wrong. This calls for a larger conversation. AllegedlyHuman (talk) 17:09, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
- 1783 Great Meteor - why does the blurb say "procession"? It appears to have been one solid lump going over Britain. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 10:19, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
- The article disagrees with you. Cavallo's account and Sandby's watercolour both indicate it had spilt into multiple bodies by the time it passed over Windsor. Modest Genius talk 11:03, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
- " it finally broke up, after a passage within the atmosphere of around a thousand miles (1610 km), over south-western France or northern Italy.[1]" The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 14:40, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
- "was an unusually bright bolide observed on 18 August 1783" singular. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 14:42, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
- Indeed, the word "procession" isn't even used in the target article. The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 14:43, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
- I have un-piped the link to meteor procession that was already in the article. Modest Genius talk 16:16, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
- "the meteor, which was visible for around thirty seconds in total, appeared to split into several smaller bodies immediately following the main mass" Sounds like a procession to me. Maybe a tad bit poetic for a line of rocks rather than, say, the bridal party at a wedding, but its perfectly cromulent as a term for a line of closely following objects. --Jayron32 16:10, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
- Well then it needs to at least say that in the article, and I guess it needs to reflect that it wasn't a single bolide passing over the UK then, it was several. Either way it isn't quite right. Cheers! The Rambling Man (Keep wearing the mask...) 17:32, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

About removing today's featured article
The TFA is not going to be removed because of the presence of a few bare-breasted women in oil-painting form. — Amakuru (talk) 15:58, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi. I request to you that please remove the featured article of today (02 August 2021). Because it is a nude photo. I hope you remove it. Thanks. >> Tajwar — thesupermaN! Let's Discuss! 09:38, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
- Tajwar.thesuperman I'm sorry, but that's not going to happen. The subject of today's features article is a nineteenth-century oil painting; the picture is not a nude photo, it's a detail of that painting. Girth Summit (blether) 10:41, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
- Poor Etty. Even the notoriously prudish Victorians only criticised this painting because of the dead bodies, not the nudity. See WP:NOTCENSORED; there's nothing offensive about this image. Modest Genius talk 11:33, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
- You have not provided a good reason for removing this article from the page. Beorhtwulf (talk) 13:52, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
- Can't see a good reason to pull the entire article at all, can see an argument for changing the MP illustration for the article - but I don't agree with that argument. — xaosflux Talk 14:50, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
- Won't somebody think of the children? – Muboshgu (talk) 15:00, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
The namespace of the Main page
The perennial proposal and FAQ's linked have more information on this. Going to stretch AGF for the OP, despite their multi-project disruption blocks, and just close this. — xaosflux Talk 14:38, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

Hello! I believe that the Main Page needs to be moved to another namespace. Let it be called Wikipedia:Main page. This decision has already been made by the Russian Wiktionary!-- Энциклопедист свободного контента, talk, deposit 06:55, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
- Hi there, welcome to the English Wikipedia! This is a perennial proposal, meaning that it is proposed unsuccessfully quite often. You can learn more about its history at WP:PERENNIAL#Move the Main Page to another namespace, such as "Wikipedia:" or "Portal:". — 🦊 07:06, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
- I understand, but why is the page not being moved?!-- Энциклопедист свободного контента, talk, deposit 07:10, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
- @Энциклопедист свободного контента: There are explanations on the linked page, the largest of them being that such a change would cause huge disruption for not much benefit. — 🦊 07:18, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
- What kind of failures?! After renaming, we will leave the redirection!-- Энциклопедист свободного контента, talk, deposit 07:20, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
