Chlemoutsi

 * ... that the Chlemoutsi castle (pictured) from the early 1220s is perhaps the finest fortification of the early period of Frankish rule in Greece preserved in the country today?
 * ALT1:... that the Chlemoutsi castle (pictured) was built in the early 1220s by the Crusader rulers of the Principality of Achaea as their main stronghold?
 * Reviewed: Not a self-nomination

Improved to Good Article status by Cplakidas (talk). Nominated by Oceanh (talk) at 00:05, 9 July 2014 (UTC).


 * Symbol voting keep.svg Passed GA within timescale. AGF offline ref for hooks (and for online foreign-language ref for ALT2 below). Picture properly licensed but not very clear - I would recommend changing it, especially since decent alternatives are available on Commons, e.g. File:Chlemoutsi2.JPG. Spot-checked some of the French source, and no copyvio concerns. A very nice article. Simon Burchell (talk) 21:57, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
 * ALT2:... that the Chlemoutsi castle (pictured) has been described as "one of the most important and best-preserved castles in Greece"?
 * Agreed regarding the picture, unless the nominator has something else in mind. Constantine  ✍  07:22, 16 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the review, and for suggestions about the picture. I have changed to a different picture. Your suggested picture would be even better (for DYK), but is currently not used in the article. Oceanh (talk) 10:41, 16 July 2014 (UTC)


 * I've added the relevant picture, and given Oceanh's comment I took the liberty of chaning it in the hook as well. Thanks to both of you. Constantine  ✍  10:53, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
