| ::That is by no means normal practice in Misplaced Pages, especially where there is no realistic likelihood of misunderstanding. The bolded article does not use ''association football''.

| ::: From the same statutes: "Association football: the game controlled by FIFA and organised in accordance with the Laws of the Game" (and many other occurrences; even in the list of objectives you quote from there is only one unqualified reference to ''football'', and two to ''association football''). FIFA uses ''football'' in places, but it explicitly states that the game it regulates, and the game its members play is ''association football''.] (]) 10:06, 16 March 2012 (UTC) | |||
| ::: The other issue is that ''association football'' qualifies the claim that the FA cup is 'the oldest association football competition in the world', if you remove 'association' then that claim becomes untrue, the FA cup is not the oldest football competition in the world.] (]) 10:15, 16 March 2012 (UTC) | |||

Wikimedia project page for Main Page error reporting Shortcuts | Please submit error reports only for content that is currently or will imminently appear on the Main Page. For general discussion about the Main Page, kindly use its talk page. |
 | 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 03:44 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 03:44 on 28 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 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.
