Administrator instructions

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 quotation 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 12:02 on 17 June 2022), not adjusted to your local time zone.
  • Do not use {{edit fully-protected}} on this page, which will not give you a faster response; it is unnecessary as this page is not protected and will in fact cause problems if used here, as this is not a talk page. (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 revision history for a record of any discussion or action taken, as no archives are kept.
  • No chit-chat: Lengthy discussions should be moved to a suitable location elsewhere, such as the relevant article or project talk page.
  • Please respect other editors. A real person wrote the blurb or hook for 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 articles with bolded links. 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.

Not an error but please consider: the longish discussion left 2 hooks in the end, difference: the name of the series, which is short, and so close to English that readers might get immediately what is meant without the lengthy explanation, + it tells them how the subject created a series title, to the point.

If you agree, add the title. I think we could remove "the" in any case. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:37, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, tough one, as you say the hook was approved without the title mentioned, but personally I do agree that it makes it more interesting to include that title, giving context to the fact that it's played twice. I've boldly amended it to:
If anyone really objects to this, let me know or revert it directly. Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 10:16, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
That looks good. Schwede66 10:44, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The picture in this section is not William Cornwallis; it is his brother Charles. 89.240.28.45 (talk) 08:24, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. Crikey! Even says so on the description page. Schwede66 09:07, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like Schwede66 is ready and waiting for protection to kick in on a replacement image, but for the time being I've commented out the image altogether so that we don't remain with an inaccuracy while we're waiting. Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 09:20, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
And  Done. The updated image is now protected and live. Thanks for the report, and that's a bit embarassing about the error!  — Amakuru (talk) 09:23, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, sorry. Wife was reading a long article to me. Thanks for looking after it! Schwede66 09:30, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Schwede66: thanks, no probs. And was this a Wikipedia article she was reading to you? I can imagine that's one way a couple might spend the long evenings, telling each other sweet nothings about the pale crag martin, enzyme inhibitors, cirrus clouds and David Bowie, to name a few featured subjects 😀  — Amakuru (talk) 10:58, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
