Wikipedia:Main Page/Errors
 | 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 21:33 on 18 October 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 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]Errors with "In the news"
[edit]sinwar's death is denied by hamas. We can't take partisan sides based on one claim. They dint even deny haniyeh's death. [1]Sportsnut24 (talk) 12:42, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
- The article actually says both that Hamas denies his death(in the lead) and that they acknowledge it(in the text itself), both with citations. It is said, though, that DNA confirmed his death. 331dot (talk) 12:58, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
- Sportsnut24 Also note that there is no independent body/entity that will make a determination as to his death; sources are provided for readers to examine and judge themselves. You are free to read the article and disagree with or disbelieve it, as long as the sources are accurately summarized. 331dot (talk) 13:01, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
- Confirmed by major [2] [3] [4] news sites, including Qatar-owned Al Jazeera. -- Sca (talk) 13:02, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
- The BBC is reporting that Hamas have issued a statement saying that killing any of their leaders will not stop them. But the statement has not confirmed Sinwar's death. That's not the same as denying it. Martinevans123 (talk) 13:09, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
- Hamas recently confirmed his death per https://www.deccanherald.com/world/hamas-official-confirms-yahya-sinwars-death-3238644 Pachu Kannan (talk) 13:08, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
Sinwar was not the "acting" leader of Hamas but its actual leader, he was formally appointed as the Chairman of the Hamas Political Bureau since August. Nice4What (talk · contribs) – (Thanks ♥) 20:30, 18 October 2024 (UTC)
