A fact from Upper Silesian Railway appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 1 February 2014 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the Upper Silesian Railway was part of the first rail network connecting Berlin, Vienna, Kraków and Warsaw by the late 1840s?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2014/February. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Upper Silesian Railway.

Nonsensical claims

"At that time the line was 1,963 kilometres (1,220 mi) long, and its tracks spanned 104 new bridges.[1]

The line significantly shortened travel times in Upper Silesia: the trains, travelling at 30-40km/h, took between 5 to 7 hours to traverse the route, while stage coaches took several days."

Does not compute ! How far is it from Wroclaw to Myslowice ?Tallewang (talk) 07:24, 1 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Tallewang: Ah, I see. I used the Polish notation with comma instead of a dot in convert template, and it didn't understand it, so instead of 196.3km (in Polish written as 196,3km) it treated it as 1963km, hence the error. Fixed, thanks for reporting this. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 11:27, 1 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
