The article used to be called "Fürstenberg (state)" but since there are many Fürstenberg that were a state, it was suggested 2011-01-19 to rename it to "Fürstenberg (county)". Idiots jumped in and hijack the move proposal, and renamed the article to "principality".

User:Orderinchaos supports this nonsense with " per Victor above - makes the most sense here - we have to be careful re WP:OR, and that one can at least be verified" - Wao. In fact exactly the other way around. It could not be verified and is OR.

Overview

First hit:

Fürstenberg (principality) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fürstenberg_(principality)‎
Fürstenberg was a county (German: Graftschaft) of the Holy Roman Empire 
in Swabia, present-day southern Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

In the Infobox of the article it says: "1218–1408" and "Government: Principality".

This is Wikipedia-nonsense. The first line of the article claims Fürstenberg was a county. But the article title contains the word "principality". But a county is not a principality and more specifically before 1408 there was no principality of Fürstenberg in the Swabian Circle.

Name Fürstenberg for the family

According to

the name is first used since 1248, not 1218 as implied by the infobox.

Elevation to principality

Also what the time of elevation to principality concerns, Wikipedia contains contradictory nonsense:

  • German Wikipedia says it was 1664 "1664 wurden Hermann Egon aus der Linie Fürstenberg-Heiligenberg und seine geistlichen Brüder Franz Egon (Bischof von Straßburg) und Wilhelm Egon (Kardinal) von Kaiser Leopold in den Fürstenstand erhoben"[1]
  • English Wikipedia says it was 1667 "In 1667, Fürstenberg-Heiligenberg was raised to a principality and received a vote at the Reichstag." [2]
