A fact from Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 6 August 2006. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the Château de Saint-Germain-en-Laye near Paris was the home of King James II for 13 years after his exile from Great Britain following the Glorious Revolution of 1688?

Isn't it a shame that the article was not started two or three years ago. Kudos to the creator! --Ghirla ^-трёп- 08:43, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, thanks. But why are you perplexed? This is "just another" French royal palace/château, no? -- ALoan (Talk) 09:42, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

But it so happens that it was there that the most famous of French kings was born and the last Stuart monarch of Britain is buried. It is sad that we have so much garbage added each day while really important subjects are often little attended to. --Ghirla ^-трёп- 10:39, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, right - well, I am planning to fill in many of the other redlinks on Bâtiments du Roi (see User:ALoan/redlinks). Fortunately, for these topics, there are lots of decent pages in the French Wikipedia that just need translating. -- ALoan (Talk) 12:04, 3 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
