main Page/Errors

Please post error reports regarding only what is currently or imminently on the Main Page. For general discussion about the Main Page, please use its talk page.

Most issues relating to national variations of the English language have already been discussed here at length: Wiki does not prefer any national variety of English. Although Wikipedia strives for writing common to all varieties of English, some spelling, grammar or terminology it uses may be different or otherwise absent in yours. See the relevant style guide and a comparison of American and British English.

• 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 20:03 on 25 April 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, 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, determined not to be an error, or the item has 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.

• Nepal was struck by a magnitude-7.8 earthquake, killing more than 8,000 people, including 22 from avalanches on Mount Everest. The figure given for Everest may be incorrect -- in fact, why even include it when the 8,000 number is vastly more significant? 2015 Mount Everest avalanches lists both 19 and 24 deaths depending on the source whereas April 2015 Nepal earthquake lists 22. I'm inclined to believe the National Geographic figure of 24, but would prefer removing any mention of the Everest deaths. Sincerely, Dilettante 17:13, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Done If different Wikipedia articles give different figures, we can’t take one of these numbers and stick it onto the main page. Schwede66 17:25, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
