A fact from Amur-class minelayer (1898) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 20 November 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the Amur class minelayers were the first purpose-built, ocean-going minelayers when they were laid down in 1898 for the Imperial Russian Navy?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2010/November.

Shouldn't the article deal with all six Amurs ? The second-run ships was practically identical to their 1898 prototypes. East of Borschov 10:36, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That's true, but it seems a little odd to consider them as one class when the second batch weren't laid down until after the first ones had been sunk. Feel free to add more material to this from the Russian-language book.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 11:03, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
