take a look at this page:

http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%E9gion_d%27honneur

In what way is the article name different from the redirect? All I can see is that one has a "smart quote"-style apostrophe.

but the URL of the redirect page seems the same:

http://www.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=L%E9gion_d%27honneur&redirec...

I am responsible for that strange redirect. Yesterday I realised, that the link pointing from the 1802 article did not find its target, although it appeared to be the same spelling. So I just copied and pasted the spelling of the existing article to the new redirect page, although I didn't see the difference between the spellings.

Many people use the accent sign, when an apostrophe should be used. Perhaps this was the reason for the failing redirect.
