A fact from Monument to Peter I (St. Michael's Castle) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 24 December 2006. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Rastrelli's Monument to Peter the Great (pictured) in Saint Petersburg includes a message by emperor Paul I that is a subtle mockery of Catherine the Great's inscription on the Bronze Horseman?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2006/December.

Is that you Daddy?

The article as dated December 23, 2006 says: Catherine the Great had ordered another monument in memory of her father Peter the Great. Catherine the Great (Catherine II of Russia) was not the daughter of Peter the Great (Peter I of Russia). What is really meant here?

Also, should the "Petro Primo Catherina Secunda" have a translation added to the effect: Peter (the) First, Catherine (is) Second?

No, a correct translation reads: To Peter I : [from] Catherine II. --Odengatan 11:09, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
