Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors

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 (UTC, currently 13:42 on 1 March 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.

Day-after-tomorrow's FA

March 5 TFA

For the first TFA blurb that I did, Schwede66 commented that it was "a wee bit short" relative to the other column. In case that's an issue again, I checked Wikipedia:Main Page queue and did a slightly expanded version only adding content that is in the FA's lead in my sandbox: User:Rjjiii (ii)/sandbox Also, apologies from working from my alt account. I am upgrading both of my laptops while recovering from plus preparing for surgery this weekend. Rjjiii (ii) (talk) 11:11, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

Errors in "On this day"

Today's OTD

• I don't know if this is considered an error but it was announced just an hour ago [1] [2] [3] that the month-long fast of Ramadan starts tomorrow where 2 billion Muslims would fast from sunrise to sunset. I think it is notable enough to be included in tomorrow's On this day 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 16:25, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

  I agree. I'll look at it. Secretlondon (talk) 18:36, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

  It doesn't seem to have featured last year. According to the rules the article needs updating with the date of this years, cited to a reliable source. The dates are not in the article on Ramadan but there is this on the page. Does that count, do we think? Secretlondon (talk) 18:57, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

  The dates are in the article at Ramadan#Important dates, cited to what seems a reliable source. By my count there are only 3 citation needed tag in the article, which should not be enough to prevent posting. Floquenbeam (talk) 21:39, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

  1 March is given as an "estimated" date so that would need a proper confirmation... Also there are various issues like self-published sources as well as the four citations needed.  — Amakuru (talk) 07:48, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

  @Amakuru: First source confirms it (and im fasting atm lol). Ill start working on the cn tags 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 08:41, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

  It's been confirmed by the relevant authorities now. Secretlondon (talk) 11:18, 1 March 2025 (UTC)
