A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on September 3, 2009.

The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that John MacBride (pictured) defeated Hercules and Mars in a single battle?

And

...to my edit summary, I'll add that the milhist text is not even clear about whether it wants pictures to be 300px or just using "300px" as a sample of how you should write it - note that it's in a context teaching users what the proper script is. It could be just as example of size, not the size. Dahn (talk) 19:55, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
