A fact from Matthias W. Baldwin appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 11 January 2005. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that before building his first railroad steam locomotive, in 1832, Matthias W. Baldwin was apprenticed as a jeweler and devised and patented a method for applying gold plating?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2005/January.

Why the move?

What is wrong with using Matthias W. Baldwin for the page title? Is there another Matthias W. Baldwin? Isn't the W. enough for disambiguation? Slambo (Speak) 17:10, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
