Main Page error reports

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 19:22 on 18 May 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. (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.

• ... that Butt Drugs in Corydon, Indiana, had Butt Liquors and free parking in the rear? puerile. Therapyisgood (talk) 23:59, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

• Haha, that got a good laugh out of me! Not your post, but the hook. I'm sure that RoySmith as promoting admin would have carefully thought about it. Yeah, it's on the spectrum, but doesn't cross the red line in my view. Schwede66 00:37, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
• Seems to have been a part of their marketing campaign playing on their unusual name, rather than a typical DYK play on words for the quirky hook. So the puerility started with the pharmacy. Stephen 02:11, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

The second sentence says "window wearing a red cape." That is a dangling modifier. It should read "wife, (name), wearing a red cape, passing . . ." Wis2fan (talk) 03:58, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

Wis2fan, you need to post these reports at WP:ERRORS. Schwede66 04:57, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
