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 16:30 on 9 October 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.

Should we really have "initially been identified as female breasts" and "Booby Island" in the same set?--Launchballer 16:14, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Wouldn't have been a problem if we hadn't made the Booby Island hook into a Beavis & Butthead one. Black Kite (talk) 18:22, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Indeed... I sometimes wonder if this is an encyclopedia or a diary of discussions between 10 year olds in the school playground... I think the Farnese Artemis women's beasts hook is the least of your worries here.  — Amakuru (talk) 12:31, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• ... that voice actress Atsuko Tanaka often named pandas?

Per Google Translate of the source, she appeared on a radio show once to suggest a name, and named two other pandas on other occasions, but there's nothing to suggest it was anything approaching a regular hobby. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 13:35, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Most people never get the chance! Maybe even naming one is notable? Martinevans123 (talk) 13:39, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sure! I just wouldn't call that "often", and neither would the source. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 13:42, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Quite agree. (I named half a panda once, but I never told anyone). Martinevans123 (talk) 13:45, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

someone wanna deal with the error here? theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 15:14, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I changed it to 'named several'. Couldn't think of anything better. 'named a few' sounds kind of pooh-poohing...like, so she named a few pandas, big deal. I dunno. Personally I would have gone with something around 'the one person in Japan who understood Nicole Kidman'. :) Valereee (talk) 15:41, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• 1914 - World War I – The civilian authorities of Antwerp surrendered and allowed the German army to capture the city. — It may be semantics, but "occupy" would seem more appropriate than "capture," as the latter normally refers to animate beings. – Sca (talk) 12:53, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Europa Clipper: According to the article, the launch is now scheduled for October 12 at the earliest, with no official launch date scheduled yet per NASA. At a minimum the blurb should be edited to no longer refer to the October 10 launch date, or perhaps it could be swapped (for now) with the current October 12 set which is non-date-specific. Pinging User:Sheila1988 and User:Amakuru.:Jay8g [V•T•E] 00:27, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jay8g: thanks for the spot, and I've swapped the 10th and the 12th for now, as I do think it would be nice to feature this on the actual launch date. If it's moved again, we can postpone it once more, there isn't really a major issue with that and we have enough spare POTDs on future dates for the time being if we need to swap in at short notice.  — Amakuru (talk) 08:53, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

After the above swap, the Recently featured line didn't update? JennyOz (talk) 11:51, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Unless things have changed since I handled POTD way back when, it's manual. I've made the update.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 11:54, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• That was quick, thanks! JennyOz (talk) 12:09, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Per: Nashville Sounds, "to helm" is no synonym for "to manage." Managers have LED the club, or people have MANAGED the club, but Managers have not "helmed" the club. Somebody has errored their grammar and it should be fixed. Carrite (talk) 23:21, 16 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a grammatical error ... see how we define it at Wiktionary: "(by extension) To lead (a project, etc.).". I would change it not because of that but because of usage: while it's popular in the sports pages, it's too colloquial for an encyclopedia. Daniel Case (talk) 23:39, 16 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed with Daniel, it's not technically incorrect, but it could definitely be improved. I've made this edit to the blurb. For future reference, it is better to report these things at WP:ERRORS. Jenks24 (talk) 23:52, 16 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously, if we know something like this is going to be controversial, it should just be left out!!!! Have some sense people!!! Also, who is responsible for this?Cosprings (talk) 14:08, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

But is it at all controversial? Noone has complained about it (at 14:18 GMT), all of these comments are jocular. FerdinandFrog (talk) 14:18, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps it's just too absurd to complain about. It doesn't quite have the pounding subtlety of Gropecunt Lane. Or maybe it lacks sexual references? I've noticed that the vast majority of complainants are Americans, and the media is more likely to condone violence as opposed to sexuality.--WaltCip (talk) 19:07, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If head was replaced with the c word then we'd be flooded with complaints... Its a playground taunt really. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:09, 19 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
