A fact from Helen Blackwood, Baroness Dufferin and Claneboye appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 7 October 2006. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that 19th century London song-writer Helen, Lady Dufferin was admired by Disraeli, compared with Helen of Troy in a poem by Browning, and had a village named after her?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2006/October.

Naming[edit]

In case anyone's interested, I gave the article its title after some thought about which of this woman's many names would come closest to satisfying the Wikipedia guideline: "the name of an article should be "the most common name of a person or thing that does not conflict with the names of other people or things". "Lady Dufferin" has been widely used, now and in the past, and the best-known book of her work uses "Helen, Lady Dufferin" as part of the title. --HJMG 15:49, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
