To report an error in current or upcoming Main Page content, please add it to the appropriate section below.
- Where is the error? An exact quote of all or part of the text in question will help.
- Please 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 04:35 on 7 March 2021), not adjusted to your local time zone.
- Do not use {{edit fully-protected}}, which will not give you a faster response; it is unnecessary as this page is not protected and in fact causes problems if used here, as this is not a talk page. (See the bottom of this revision for an example.)
- Done? Once an error has been fixed, rotated off the Main Page or acknowledged not to be an error, the report will be removed from this page; please check the page's revision history for any discussion or action taken, as no archives are kept.
- No chit-chat: Lengthy discussions should be moved to a suitable location elsewhere.
- Please respect other editors. A real person wrote the blurb or hook to which you are suggesting a fix, or a real person noticed what they honestly believe is an issue with the blurb or hook that you wrote. Everyone is interested in creating the best Main Page possible; with the compressed time frame, there is sometimes more stress and more opportunities to step on toes. Please be civil to fellow users.
- Can you resolve the problem yourself? If the error lies primarily in the content of an article linked from the Main Page, consider first attempting to fix the problem there before reporting it here if necessary. Text on the Main Page generally defers to the bolded articles. In addition, upcoming content is typically only protected from editing 24 hours before its scheduled appearance; in most cases, you can be bold and fix any issues yourself.

Today's FA
- How can this image be CC-licensed? It's a still from the film. — The Earwig (talk) 00:20, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
- The Earwig I don't see that it can. Unless Im missing something obvious, this is a Flickrwashing failure, I think. Just looking a bit more ... Black Kite (talk) 00:35, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks, Black Kite. I see The Squirrel Conspiracy brought it up in the FAC but no one replied. Not sure what happened here. I have a copy of the film and can confirm it matches a shot in it. It's sourced to a Flikr upload by a known photographer but I can find no evidence she had any involvement with the film and cannot imagine she would have permission to relicense a frame from it. — The Earwig (talk) 00:40, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
- It's bizarre, though - this is what looks to be a professional photograher with 33K images on Flickr - why would she upload a still from the film? Could she have been on set? Black Kite (talk) 00:47, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
- I've asked at Commons. If I don't get a reply in a short time, I'm going to remove it. Black Kite (talk) 00:58, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
- @WP:TFA coordinators Also a ping for the TFA co-ordinators. Black Kite (talk) 01:01, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
- There are plenty of signs of funny business here: the image has no EXIF data (other than "Copyright Flag - True"), is small and heavily compressed compared to her other work from the same time. I agree we need to err on the side of removal here. Also pinging editors involved with the FA/image upload: Coffeeandcrumbs, DAP389. — The Earwig (talk) 01:03, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
- I've dropped an alternative image into WP:CMP (the Kaufhaus Görlitz) and I'll swap them when it's protected. Black Kite (talk) 01:23, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
- I don't have much experience with Wikimedia so I assumed good faith with the licensing. My mistake! DAP 💅 01:31, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
- Don't worry about it, no-one else noticed either (well, apart from one person at the FAC). I'll swap it over as soon as the other one is protected. Black Kite (talk) 01:35, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
- Came over from the Commons for efficiency. If it matches a shot in the film, to be legitimately hosted on the Commons would require OTRS verification, and that’s not been attached to either of the files. I’m going to nominate for deletion. Thanks Black Kite for taking it off Main. Innisfree987 (talk) 01:51, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
- Innisfree987 Thanks! Black Kite (talk) 01:57, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

- Done Image swapped. Black Kite (talk) 01:46, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks. @Ian Rose and Nikkimaria: as it is unclear how this one got through without Nikkimaria checking the images. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:49, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
- SandyGeorgia There might be some obscure reason why it's actually OK, but then you'd expect at least some explanation at the image page. Logic says, however, that it is more likely to be a Flickrwashing fail. I think the replacement picture is quite cool though, so no harm done. Black Kite (talk) 01:56, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
- Agree with image replacement as scheduling TFA coordinator. I looked at it when scheduling but obviously not hard enough. Haven't seen the movie.--Wehwalt (talk) 01:59, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
- Sandy, looks like someone else did an IR in this case - I didn't look at them. Nikkimaria (talk) 02:04, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
