 | Please submit error reports only for content that is currently or will imminently appear on the Main Page. For general discussions regarding the Main Page, use its talk page. |
 | National variations of the English language have been widely discussed previously:

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 00:00 on 30 August 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.
- Actual errors only. Failures of subjective criteria such as interestingness 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 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.

edit- There is currently a photo of Michael Schumacher, but no text relevant to him and nothing referring to the photo. JMCHutchinson (talk) 17:50, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
- @Z1720 pulled the Michael Schumacher entry, but didn't change the photo. Jay8g [V•T•E] 18:30, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
- Came here to say the same. Got time to find a new photo, Z1720? If not, I can have a look. Schwede66 18:40, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
- @Z1720: you removed Schumacher's entry but not his picture. Please fix. Also, it is all male, three deaths to one births. Imbalance. Should be one more birth of a female, better add Bebe Rexha in place of Jack Marshall. @Schwede66: 40 minutes away from 00:00 UTC. Ikhouvanjou14 (talk) 22:59, 29 August 2025 (UTC)
