Chlemoutsi[edit]
- ... 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).
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)
- 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)
