Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors/header

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


 * 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 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.
