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:

To report an error in content currently or imminently on the Main Page, use the appropriate section below.
- 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 06:41 on 12 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.

[edit]"... that Adrien Nunez (pictured), despite limited playing time, was more highly paid than some NBA draft lottery picks while in college?"
- The source says that he
is ranked higher than projected top-five NBA draft pick Jaden Ivey and North Carolina star Caleb Love.
.[1] That's singular—"projected top-five NBA draft pick Jaden Ivey". This doesn't support the hook's some and plural picks. It's one pick, and the hook is missing the source's projected. Jaden Ivey was not in the NBA at the time, and the comparison is to his pay in college, not in the NBA.
Suggest change to "somea projected NBA draft lottery picks" @TonyTheTiger, BeanieFan11, SL93, and AirshipJungleman29: Courtesy ping to nom participants.—Bagumba (talk) 02:59, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
- Your change sounds good to me, but I'm saying that as someone who isn't all that knowledgeable about sports. SL93 (talk) 03:03, 12 January 2025 (UTC)

[edit]- I honestly doubt that John Henry Turpin meets the "up to scratch" bit of WP:POTD/G; it has six citation needed tags and an orange-banner uncited section. Definitely nowhere near GA, although that's far from a POTD requirement. charlotte 👸♥ 02:28, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
- I've removed all of the uncited information, although now I'd say it's too short for a GA. EF5 02:31, 12 January 2025 (UTC)
