      Nuvola apps date.svg A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day... section on May 21, 2004.

      Birthplace appears to be incorrect

      The article lists Otto's birthplace as Paterno, Italy; however, Paterno redirects to Paternò, which is in Sicily, and therefore was under Muslim rule at the time of Otto's birth; thus, I'm assuming that this is incorrect. Not sure what to do about it ... is there another Paterno and if so can we eliminate the redirect somehow? --Jfruh 18:25, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

      (You mean death rather than birth, don't you?). Clearly the correct Paterno is somewhere between Ravenna and Rome. It is a fairly common name for Italian places, including very small ones.Staffelde 20:25, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

      In fact it's a now-ruined castle in Civita Castellana (the ancient Falerii), assuming these two Italian websites and [1] to be reliable. I've boldly changed the link and added the necessary to the article on Civita Castellana.Staffelde 21:05, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

      Tomb lost?

      Catholic encyclopedia states that: Only by recourse to arms could his body be brought to Aix, where recently his tomb has been discovered in the cathedral. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/11356a.htm

      Image

      I have switched images to another version of the same manuscript page. The previous image was a mirror image of the manuscript. I have also identified the manuscript, which will have an article presently. Dsmdgold 19:12, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

      Map

      Why are we using a map with a big ol' greasy fold down the middle?

      Also, this map — "Deutschland um das Jahr 1000" — seems to show Poland as part of the HRE, which it wasn't. Sca (talk) 21:30, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

      Good points, both of them. Volunteer Marek  22:19, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
