An entry from Saltwood Castle appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 14 June 2006.

• Minor quibbles:
  • "Saltwood derives its name from the village nearby." Not likely.
  • "It was erected originally in 488." Impossibly precise in the fifth century, but the original source for the date would make it interesting.
  • "The castle was conveyed to the Roman Catholic Church by a deed dated 1026 " and "During the reign of Canute, the manor of Saltwood was granted to the priory of Christ Church in Canterbury". These seem to refer to the same event. --Wetman 03:53, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

• • • "Saltwood derives its name from the village nearby. Not likely." Without having seen this comment of yours, I just edited the sentence in the article to make it more exact. It may still not be true! I suppose you must mean that the castle was there before the village? Quite likely, no doubt. Do correct the statement if you can. Andrew Dalby 12:20, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
