A fact from Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption, Mata-Utu appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 13 May 2013 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the cathedral of Mata-Utu bears the royal insignia of Wallis and Futuna, a Maltese cross between its towers?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2013/May. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption, Mata-Utu.

What kind of cross?[edit]

Here's a link to a photo of the blue cross between the two towers of the cathedral: blue cross. (Zoom in to get a good look.)

I've also put an image of a Maltese cross in this section, for comparison, on the right.

And, on the left, an image of the unofficial flag of W&F (the official flag is the French tricolor).

Is the blue cross on the cathedral a Maltese cross? NO! Obviously not. A Maltese cross has very distinctive vee-shaped notches in the end of each "arm" of the cross.

Neither is the cross on the unofficial flag a Maltese cross.

The "reliable sources" used in the article are incorrect, and, as a result, so is the DYK. --108.45.72.196 (talk) 02:36, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
