I think this should be set as explainxkcd.com's 404 page. [[Special:Contributions/173.245.54.25|173.245.54.25]] 13:40, 21 March 2018 (UTC)
 
  
 
For a second I thought my government actually blocked a page. We "reelected" Putin today, so I thought it is somehow related. --[[Special:Contributions/108.162.241.208|108.162.241.208]] 18:35, 19 March 2018 (UTC)

Not sure about the green, but old versions of macOS (and possibly other systems?) showed inproperly/nonexistent embedded images in websites as a blue puzzle piece with a “?” in it. I think this is what Randall’s referencing in the title text. Oddly a google image search is not finding any examples, so I may be misremembering the details somewhat.

Maybe we should add the fact that, this is shown while the fact hit the news that the EU is forbidding Geolocking within the EU staring from the 1.

;dgbrtBOT was not available
 
Sorry for that, the bot lost it's internet connection. I've changed the picture to the common normal size, when saving a comic picture from a browser you typically get the larger version (''file_2x.png'' instead of ''file.png'') but everything else looks fine thanks to [[User:RamenChef|RamenChef]]. The bot should do it's work again for the next comic. --[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 15:57, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
 
 
 
I've added an explanation about the broken image icon. I found an example of two, I think Firefox's and possibly Chrome's, but on a cursory glance I can't see how to upload a picture to the wiki. Since the legality of doing so might be questionable, I'm not trying any harder. It's on a blog post about fixing a broken image issue on [https://liliontheloose.com/2016/04/14/fix-random-broken-images-wordpress/ WordPress]. The title picture offers two examples of the "broken image icon". [[User:NiceGuy1|NiceGuy1]] ([[User talk:NiceGuy1|talk]]) 06:16, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
 
 
 
The explanation says that the error 451 references ''Fahrenheit 451''. Is there proof?

of course the "forbidden because law" error is 451. of course. [[User:An user who has no account yet|An user who has no account yet]] ([[User talk:An user who has no account yet|talk]]) 18:48, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
