Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors

To report an error in content currently or imminently to appear on Main Page, use the appropriate section below. Reports should contain:

• Where is the error? An exact quotation using {{!xt}} of the text in question helps.
• Offer a correction if possible using {{xt}}.
• References are helpful, especially when reporting an obscure factual or grammatical error.
• Time zones. The Main Page runs on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC, currently 08:24 on 24 September 2026) and cannot be 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.
• Actual errors only. Failures of subjective criteria such as taste or interestingness, or failure to divert enough DYK readers to articles that aren't new or recently improved, are not errors.
• 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 item has been addressed, determined not to be an error, or 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.

• The Ghanian football player, I'm assuming? I don't think "ages poorly" is the spirit of the hook; the hook means that he looked as though he was too old for the bracket, which honestly at that age was a compliment for me. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 12:40, 23 September 2026 (UTC)

• I've rephrased to explicitly indicate the age bracket. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 12:42, 23 September 2026 (UTC)

  Yeah, I think it got cut at some point.The hook originally defined it as a U20 tournament, but I can see that being a little unfamiliar so I think the fix to it now does the trick. Thanks! Dizzycheekchewer (talk) 14:26, 23 September 2026 (UTC)

• Any chance we could trim "with a camp commandant"? I initially interpreted the hook as 'someone's ill'. Courtesy ping to @Balabush, B33net, and Beta Beta Beta:.--Launchballer 12:33, 23 September 2026 (UTC)
  • Not technically an error, but done. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 12:37, 23 September 2026 (UTC)
