I think [[Bermuda]] ought to be hyperlinked in this hook. <span style="position: relative; top: -0.5em;">꧁</span>[[User:Zanahary|Zanahary]]<span style="position: relative; top: -0.5em;">꧂</span> 02:35, 29 June 2024 (UTC) |

:It's borderline... we don't generally wikilink countries on the main page, although Bermuda technically isn't one as it's an overseas territory. DYK people also like to not link things where possible so as not to distract from the main hook. I'd be happy to add a link myself, but will await any further comments.

::{{ping|Zanahary}} it was a good suggestion but I agree with {{ping|Amakuru}} that we should try to avoid additional links in hooks. I share that opinion, and I believe several other DYK regulars agree. We hope that readers will investigate Bermuda when they click on the main link.

Revision as of 01:01, 30 June 2024
 | Please post error reports regarding only what is currently or imminently on the Main Page. For general discussion about the Main Page, please use its talk page. |
 | Most issues relating to national variations of the English language have already been discussed here at length:
|
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 05:58 on 3 July 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.

(2) "...except in older males in which it may be completely white,"; please add comma before "in which" since a non-restrictive relative clause. Thanks. JMCHutchinson (talk) 12:52, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
