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: Misplaced Pages does not prefer any national variety of English. While Misplaced Pages strives to use language common to all English varieties, some spelling, grammar, or terminology may differ or be absent in a reader's preferred variety. Refer to the relevant style guide on national varieties of English and see a comparison of American and British English.

To report an error in content currently or imminently on the Main Page, use the appropriate section below.

• 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 21:55 on 22 January 2025) 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.

Errors in In the news

The bombing occurred near Saint Mark's Cathedral (not "at" the cathedral itself). The title was moved to Botroseya Church bombing, which is a smaller church attached to the cathedral, so kindly fix that as well. Fitzcarmalan (talk) 19:36, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

 Done Katie 21:05, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

And you may want to replace the image with this one. Fitzcarmalan (talk) 19:38, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

 Not done Since the text says Saint Mark's is pictured, we want to stick with the picture of Saint Mark's. Katie 21:05, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

We never usually say something as nebulous as "... and injures many others...." so that needs fixing too. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:03, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

 Done Changed to 49 per article. Katie 21:07, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

Another case of an admin without the full briefing: please italicise "(pictured)" in the recently "updated" Cairo blurb. Jeez, you guys need to sort your shit out. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:31, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

Welp. I tried. Nice. Way to chase your new helpers off. Katie 21:40, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

Well, way to read the history of the page. This isn't anything to do with your edits. But I suppose if you're that sensitive, this isn't the place. Another "admin" edited the blurb and fucked it up again after you. Don't get all over the top about it. The Rambling Man (talk) 21:42, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

Pinging Michael Hardy just in case he doesn't have this page on his watchlist (HILARIOUS ). The Rambling Man (talk) 21:33, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
