Orphaned references in Fielmann
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Fielmann's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "AR2015": From Rheinmetall:  From Deutsche Börse:  From Gerresheimer:  From Aareal Bank:  From Hannover Re:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 16:16, 6 May 2016 (UTC)

Update request
Hello, I'm working for Fielmann and I would like to suggest updating the infobox with the newest key data of our annual report for the year 2019. I've disclosed my conflict of interest also in my user page and am willing to follow the rules of Wikipedia as good as possible.

Alongside you can find the updated infobox with the corresponding reference:

I would be very grateful if someone would review and implement my revision. Thank you in advance! --VitraOcularia (talk) 15:01, 17 July 2020 (UTC)

Update request
Hello, I'm working for Fielmann and would like to offer another suggestion for the article. As it's stated above the article, the current version seems to lack objectivity. Therefore, I worked out a new version of the history part which hopefully has a more neutral tone. I'm aware that I as an employee of the company cannot guarantee complete neutrality on this subject – but maybe we can use this as a base for a general improvement of the overall article quality:

" The company was founded in 1972 by Günther Fielmann, who opened the first store in Cuxhaven. At that time, the German health insurance system only provided a limited number of spectacle frames. In 1981, Fielmann negotiated an agreement with the Esens statutory health insurance company which allowed a larger selection of frames to be added to the portfolio for patients covered by the insurance. This was a significant change in the German optical market.

In the following years, the company experienced steady growth and is now represented in 14 European countries. Fielmann has been listed on the stock exchange since 1994 and is currently indexed in the SDAX.

In 2001 the non-profit Fielmann-Akademie was established. For this purpose Günther Fielmann bought Plön Castle from the government of Schleswig-Holstein in 2002 and opened a training centre for optometrists there. Since 2005/2006 bachelor's and master's degrees in optometry are being offered in cooperation with the University of Applied Sciences Lübeck.

In January 2002, a new production and logistics center was opened in Rathenow (Brandenburg), which ships around five million spectacle frames per year.

Since 2019, Marc Fielmann has been the sole CEO of the company, succeeding his father Günther Fielmann. " --VitraOcularia (talk) 10:56, 4 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi thank you for using the request edit template and your patience waiting for someone to assess your request. I have implemented most of your request, with some copyediting. For Fielmann-Akademie, was this established by the company or by Gunther? If Gunther established this non-profit than it belongs in Gunther's article, not this one. Please check the edits to make sure I didn't miss anything. If you have any questions, please post them below. I am closing this request. Z1720 (talk) 04:04, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello sorry for the late reply and thank you for your initial editing of the article. The Fielmann-Akademie was not founded by Günther Fielmann and should therefore fit better in this article. For the part with the Fielmann-Akademie I would suggest the following:


 * "In 2001 the non-profit Fielmann-Akademie was established by the company. Located in Plön Castle, Schleswig-Holstein it is a training centre for optometrists since 2002. "


 * Furthermore, the aspect of the stock markets doesn't represent the current listing. The advancement in 2009 is correct but currently, we're listed in the SDAX. For the SDAX part I would suggest the wording of my first version:


 * "Fielmann has been listed on the stock exchange since 1994 and is currently indexed in the SDAX."


 * Thank you in advance for giving this another check. --VitraOcularia (talk) 11:10, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi unfortunately I am not assessing edit requests at this time. I suggest creating a new request using the Request Edit Wizard. Another editor will see our conversation above and assess if your suggestions should be added to the article. Sorry about that, and let me know if you have any questions.

Review of previous request
Hello, unfortunately, I was a bit late reacting to the answer to my last request. Could someone please give this former conversation another check whether my latest points are considerable for the article? Thank you --VitraOcularia (talk) 13:39, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
