Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors

To report an error in current or upcoming Main Page content, please add it to the appropriate section below.

• Where is the error? An exact quotation 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 Main Page runs on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC, currently 04:26 on 14 August 2022), not adjusted to your local time zone.
• Do not use {{edit fully-protected}} on this page, which will not give you a faster response; it is unnecessary as this page is not protected and will in fact cause 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 report will be removed from this page; please check the revision history for a record of any discussion or action taken, as no archives are kept.
• No chit-chat: Lengthy discussions should be moved to a suitable location elsewhere, such as the relevant article or project talk page.
• Please respect other editors. A real person wrote the blurb or hook for which you are suggesting a fix, or a real person noticed what they honestly believe is an issue with the blurb or hook that you wrote. Everyone is interested in creating the best Main Page possible; with the compressed time frame, there is sometimes more stress and more opportunities to step on toes. Please be civil to fellow users.
• Can you resolve the problem yourself? If the error lies primarily in the content of an article linked from the Main Page, consider first attempting to fix the problem there before reporting it here if necessary. Text on the Main Page generally defers to the articles with bolded links. In addition, upcoming content is typically only protected from editing 24 hours before its scheduled appearance; in most cases, you can be bold and fix any issues yourself.

Errors with "In the news"

• Oder river die-off; the plural of beaver is beaver, not beavers. Abductive (reasoning) 02:55, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

  Well, you might want to get the FA-rated beaver article cleaned up first, Abductive. Once there's consensus for that, please let us know. Schwede66 03:55, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

  That refers to the two species of beaver. Rather like fishes. Beaver is correct. Abductive (reasoning) 04:00, 14 August 2022 (UTC)

  Ok, I've now looked at North American beaver and Eurasian beaver but still don't get the sense that beaver is the plural. What am I missing? Schwede66 04:25, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
