A fact from Grand Duchess Anna Petrovna of Russia appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 20 January 2006. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Peter the Great's eldest daughter, Anna Petrovna, died in childbirth aged 20, but all the living Romanovs descend from her?

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

Second daughter

If Anna Petrovna was second daughter, who was the first? But it is so written in the Russian Biographical Dictionary Kmorozov 09:28, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The first daughter was named Catherine. She was born in 1707 and died the following year. She was never legitimized and as such Anna should be considered the eldest lawful daughter.--Ghirla | talk 09:36, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that it would be customary in Wikipedia to refer to this article's Anna NOT as "the elder" or "the eldest" daughter, but, rather, as "the elder surviving daughter" or "the elder of two daughters surviving to adulthood".74.64.104.99 (talk) 16:17, 19 June 2019 (UTC)Christopher L.

Contradiction in article

As of 12pm Weds 19th June 2018, the article contains the text "By this contract, Anna and Karl Friedrich renounced all rights and claims to the crown of the Russian Empire on behalf of themselves and their descendants. However a secret clause allowed the Emperor to name a successor out of any sons from the marriage. As a result of this clause, the Emperor secured the right to name any of his descendants as his successor on the Russian throne" which doesn't add up. The clause signed would not give the Emperor the right to name ANY of his descendants as successor, because the clause doesn't include any DAUGHTERS Anna might have later produced, nor Anna herself, who was one of his descendants.74.64.104.99 (talk) 16:14, 19 June 2019 (UTC)Christopher L.
