National variations of the English language have been widely discussed previously: Wikipedia does not favor any particular variety of English. While Wikipediaaims to use language common to all English varieties, some differences in spelling, grammar, or terminology may differ or be absent in a reader's preferred variety. For guidance, see the relevant style guide on thenational varieties of English and thecomparison of American and British English.

To report an error incontent currently or imminently to appear on Main Page, use the appropriate section below. Reports should contain:

• Where is the error? An exact quotation using{{!xt}} of the text in question helps.
• Offer a correction if possible using{{xt}}.
• References are helpful, especially when reporting an obscure factual or grammatical error.
• Time zones. The Main Page runs onCoordinated Universal Time (UTC, currently 00:23 on 27 October 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 onlyprotected from editing beginning 24 hours before its scheduled appearance. Before that period, you canbe bold and fix any issues yourself.
• Do not use{{edit fully-protected}} on this page, which willnot 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 ofthis 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.
• Actual errors only. Failures of subjective criteria such as interestingness are not errors.
• 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. Checkthe revision history for a record of any discussion or action taken; noarchives are kept.

"... that the city of Kikwit, estimated to have a population of more than one million, had only four paved roads in 2023?" but according to the lead ofKikwit "The city has over half of a million inhabitants", further on it says "Population estimates include 500,000 (2023),[54] 800,000 (2022),[67] and 1,200,000 (2023)." So I don't think the estimates are sufficiently definitive to use on the front page.DuncanHill (talk)23:26, 26 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• I made lots of last-minute swaps and additions to the Oct 28 template. Editors are invited to double-check my work and make improvements where necessary.Z1720 (talk)15:04, 26 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
