A fact from Adam, Count of Schwarzenberg appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 7 December 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:
The "Bailiwick of Brandenburg" sounds too much like the Mark of Brandenburg not to lose the uninitiated reader. The "Brandenburg Bailiwick of the Knights' Order of the Hospital of St John in Jerusalem" isn't immediately familiar. It should be disambiguated in a footnote. Elector John Sigismund's claims to Jülich and Cleves don't ring a bell to most readers, so statements that they were supported or not transfer no information: a footnote would tell what they were; there's a relevant article on the controversy somewhere at Wikipedia. Götzen needs a linking, whereas most of the redlinks in the article signal persons best dealt with in a single-sentence footnote ("footnote to history"), with birth-death dates in parentheses. --Wetman (talk) 21:54, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
