A fact from Canada lunar sample displays appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 17 November 2012 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that samples of moon rock and lunar dust soil from the Apollo 11 and Apollo 17 missions, mounted on wooden plaque displays especially for Brazil, Canada, Cyprus, Honduras, Ireland, Malta, Netherlands, Nicaragua, Norway, Romania, Spain, and Sweden, plus the states of Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Hawaii (pictured), Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, and West Virginia, were later reported missing by many of the recipients?

Jaymie Matthews

Roughly two-thirds of the article is a rambling, often grammatically incorrect description of this "Jaymie Matthews" guy, including a lot of hearsay, that I speculate was added to the article by Jaymie Matthews himself.

If it can be verified, I don't see how his story warrants more than a paragraph in the article. 2607:FEA8:E280:38C0:4D43:72FD:6D66:3A42 (talk) 16:49, 20 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
