A fact from Russian monitor Rusalka appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 19 June 2014 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that after the Russian monitor Rusalka sank, all that was found in the immediate aftermath were a few lifebuoys, and a sailor's corpse in a dinghy?
I have added more material in the form of the sections "Loss of the Rusalka", "Cause of the sinking", and "Monument", as well as additional details to the infobox, and elsewhere, mostly from the corresponding articles in Russian and Estonian Wikipedias. Since my knowledge of these languages is nil, I have relied on machine translators (Google and Babelfish), and online dictionaries. As far as I can tell I have added nothing that is factually inaccurate. --dawkeye (talk) 03:39, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
There's a mix of BrEng and AmEng, particularly in the units in the discovery section.
The lead is a bit short - might want to include her class, that a monument was built for her crew, and perhaps a line about the exact cause of her sinking to be unknown (and perhaps that a new theory has been put forth following the discovery of the wreck)
