To report an error on today's or tomorrow's Main Page, please add it to the appropriate section below.
- Where is the error? An exact quote 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 current date and time is displayed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC, currently 13:04 on 17 September 2019), not adjusted to your local time zone.
- Do not use {{edit fully-protected}}, which will not give you a faster response; it is unnecessary as this page is not protected and in fact causes 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 error report will be removed from this page; please check the page's history for any discussion and action taken.
- No chit-chat: Lengthy discussions should be moved to a suitable location elsewhere.
- Can you fix the issue yourself? If the error is in the content of an article linked from the Main Page, consider attempting to fix the problem there rather than reporting it here.
