Hi all, my name is Dan. I am a relative newcomer to the wonderfull world of Wikipedia. Having seen wikipedia on previous occasions I had not realised how the whole thing worked, However once I started to use it more often and I realised what this place is all about I was hooked.
I am a 28 year old, married, father of 3. I live in the beautiful county of Yorkshire, England. I work as a Facilities Manager for a very large multinational company, but the best part of my job is that i get lots and lots of time to read. As I am something of a bookworm this is great!
I have many literary intrests, namely the works of;
I find all the Harry Potter articles on wikipedia fascinating. There is so much information on here! its great. I recently finished my third re-reading of the series (my friends and wife tell me I need more of a life! lol). These articles are where I have been contributing most. Hopefully my contributions are helpful (and not too opinionated). You can also regularly catch me in AfD, sometimes in RfA and other Wiki places.

The Giechburg is a partly reconstructed hilltop castle located in the town of Scheßlitz in Bavaria, Germany. There was a hilltop fort at the site from at least Neolithic times, and the castle enters written history in 1125. In 1390, it entered the possession of the prince-bishops of Bamberg, and its history thereafter is closely allied to the bishopric and the city of Bamberg. The castle was destroyed and rebuilt several times over the subsequent centuries before undergoing extensive redevelopment between 1599 and 1609. It became less useful to the prince-bishops over the subsequent centuries however, and eventually fell into ruin. After a period in the 19th and 20th centuries in the hands of the von Giech family, the castle was eventually acquired by the district of Bamberg in 1971 and reconstructed as a conference and hospitality centre. This 2021 aerial photograph shows the Giechburg viewed from the north, with the village of Peulendorf in the background.Photograph credit: Reinhold Möller
