I think an archiving system for ERRORS has been floated at various times in the past, but it might prove rather tricky to implement since discussions are primarily organised by day/template rather than topic, and will get moved about as content gets rotated from tomorrow's Main Page to today's, etc. — 370:
To clarify my response to the two links mentioned (as I think my response might have invited this thread), I think that errors in articles are absolutely the purview of WP:ERRORS – the last bullet in the header ("Can you resolve the problem yourself?") would make no sense otherwise.

It is true that the NFL, NBA, etc. websites are not 'independent' for articles about a player, but that does not mean, as far as I'm aware, that the article is prohibited from being on the main page just for having a source that is 'non-independent' (now, if it is the

Yes, in full agreement with Bagumba here. The only reason ERRORS exists is because only admins have the ability to edit fully protected pages; if it something that doesn't need that ability to fix, why post at ERRORS?
