Greifenstein Castle

 * ... that the first recorded owner of Greifenstein Castle joined the Crusades as penance for assassinating a bishop?

 * Symbol question.svg 5x expansion confirmed. This will be the user's third DYK so QPQ review is not required, though encouraged. As far as the hook is concerned, the source nor the article text mention Rudolf von Greifenstein being the "first owner" of the castle, but it does support the rest of the hook. Can you propose a change to the hook that matches the source? – Muboshgu (talk) 23:50, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Symbol possible vote.svg The article is good but it relies only on a small number of sources and no printed literature. A few more different sources would be nice. Also, the hook is interesting but you should propose an alternative that has more to do with the architectural aspect of the castle (instead of the historical aspect).

 * I've added an alternative hook. The article is within scope and doesn't infringe copyrights. Edelseider (talk) 08:53, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg: The author didn't react (schade, Toby), but here is no reason (=AGF) not to pass the article. Edelseider (talk) 10:20, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
