A fact from Alphonse Royer appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 26 June 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Notable for several reasons, see article in French Wikipedia. I am going to transfer content from there soon. I just created this as a start.--Newbiepedian 23:39, 15 April 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I have declined the speedy deletion for now, but please add more substantive content and appropriate references soon or the article may be deleted. Thanks, Steven Walling 23:50, 15 April 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
A knowledgable editor has finally discovered and fixed this article, thank goodness. Was the article's creation some kind of "breaching experiment"? I find it extraordinary that its creator claims to have seen and used the equivalent article on the French Wikipedia where the correct birth and death dates were given:
To avoid deletion, someone else had quickly pasted in a reference from the French Wikipedia published in 1881, thus providing a "reliable source" for an obvious untruth. The second editor didn't even notice that on the clearly stated date of the source's publication Royer would have been 5 years old. Good Grief!
