Main Page error report
Wikimedia project page for Main Page error reporting Shortcuts | National variations of the English language have been extensively discussed previously:
|
To report an error in content currently or imminently on the Main Page, use the appropriate section below.
Main Page toolbox- Protected pages
- Commons media protection
- Associated
- It is currently 18:58 UTC.
- Purge the Main Page
- Purge this page
- 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 18:58 on 25 December 2024) 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.

General discussion
Shortcuts
nothing on the 2012 Quebec election and the shooting at the PQ victory rally?
I am very shocked and surprised that either has not made the top news on Misplaced Pages as both are big current events in Canada, and should been given more reconision than what they have by wikipedia and world news. So far only seen it covered by BBC News. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.180.155.198 (talk) 05:53, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
- On the BBC, this isn't even the top Canada story. (That'd be the discovery of floating trunk containing a human torso.) The shooting only occurs as a brief mention in the story about the Quebec election. But in any case, if you want to nominate events for In The News, the page you want is thataway. For the record, we don't normally report on regional/territorial elections. AlexTiefling (talk) 11:01, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
Paralympics summary
I'm sure this has been addressed before, but i don't know where to search for the discussion... can you tell me why there was an "Olympic summary" link in the news box but there isn't for the paralympics? Thank you.
Walkabout86 (talk) 17:34, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
- The Paralympics receive much less attention. See Misplaced Pages:In the news/Candidates/August 2012#Summer Paralympics sticky. PrimeHunter (talk) 20:46, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
great event at its best — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.90.141.116 (talk) 05:07, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
- Apparently, the US channel gave the entire Paralympics 4 hours of highlights and 0 hours of live coverage. While I and maybe you may find that shocking, it seems that the love affair us Brits, for example, had with the Paralympics may not have been shared globally. WP:WORLDVIEW --Dweller (talk) 10:53, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
- In the UK it's been been on multiple TV channels all day in the US almost nothing. But what about other countries? Regards, Sun Creator 11:04, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
- Plenty on TV coverage in Australia, live and otherwise, several hours every day. As someone close to disabled sport for many years, it's apparent that the US is not as well organised on this front as it could be. The US finished sixth on the medal table, behind China, Russia, GB, Ukraine and Australia. So, no the US apparently isn't very interested, but other countries are. We must not let the US lack of interest influence this global encyclopaedia. HiLo48 (talk) 11:17, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
