A fact from Dmitry Senyavin appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 23 April 2006. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the Senyavin Islands of Micronesia were named after Dmitry Senyavin, who destroyed the Ottoman Fleet in the Battle of Athos in 1807?

Saint Petersburg

The city of Saint Petersburg was know as Petrograd in the time of this article. As such three names should be referenced ie Petrograd, called Leningrad from 1924 through 1991, currently known as Saint Petersburg. The other alternative is to write Petrograd. I'm not sure exactly what to do. If somebody can eloquently correct this, I would appreciate it.
