[Wikipedia-l] Factual error on main page of en.wikipedia.org

[Robert Brockway]

Hi all.  I'm posting here as I consider this fairly high urgency.

There is a factual error on the main page in the featured article for 
Caroline Island.  I can't edit the page although I have fixed the Caroline 
Island article itself.

Caroline Island is not the land closest to the International Date Line 
(outside of Antartica) on the western side.  [[Big Diomede Island]] holds 
this honour at a distance of one mile from the IDL.  Caroline Island was 
among the first places to see the new year and dawn in 2000 as it is in 
GMT+14, which is where the confusion arises.

For more on this see [[talk:International Date Line]] where a discussion 
has taken place over the last few months on this issue.

Perhaps someone could fix the main page.

Rob
