A fact from Apollo 17 lunar sample display appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 17 November 2012 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that samples of moon rock and lunar dust soil from the Apollo 11 and Apollo 17 missions, mounted on wooden plaque displays especially for Brazil, Canada, Cyprus, Honduras, Ireland, Malta, Netherlands, Nicaragua, Norway, Romania, Spain, and Sweden, plus the states of Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Hawaii (pictured), Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, and West Virginia, were later reported missing by many of the recipients?

(See the investigation subpage) Earlier text must not be restored, unless it can be verified to be free of infringement. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions must be deleted. Contributors may use sources as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences or phrases.

Transcluded content

The Template:Apollo 17 lunar sample display has part of the content that is transcluded to this template and many of the sub-articles listed here. When doing the copyright cleanup, I found that content was not always verified by the cited source, and that citations were not always attached to the content they supported. But as I continued to work through the sub-articles, I came across bits and pieces. The end result is that some content that I presumptively deleted can probably be found in sources and rewritten to avoid copyvio. Care has to be taken to keep the transcluded content short and relevant to the daughter articles, while expanding other content here at the main article, and to make sure that ref names stay in sync.
