Fine, thank you, for the review and suggestion. Btw, I wonder why our article on Eichendorff article has "Freiherr", while no German would say so ;), - just Eichendorff, or Joseph von Eichendorff. I avoided the problem by not even mentioning him, as obviously not too well known. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:08, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

Hahaha. I think it's various sources call him that e.g. Encyclopedia Britannica calls him "Joseph, Baron von Eichendorff" and even German Amazon uses "Freiherr". Anyway to be serious, this DYK is a from me. Bermicourt (talk) 15:45, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
