Hello, I'm Batternut. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to To be, or not to be have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Batternut (talk) 21:55, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

Hello, Andreas.stockhausen. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Egyptian pyramid construction techniques, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the edit COI template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see );
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see );
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Hypnôs (talk) 11:35, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello Andreas.stockhausen. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to article, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Andreas.stockhausen. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Hypnôs (talk) 12:00, 22 February 2024 (UTC)


 * I'm neither directly nor indirectly compensated for the edits Andreas.stockhausen (talk) 12:22, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * What is your relationship with Rudolf Volz? Your edits seem to be almost exclusively about him. Hypnôs (talk) 12:56, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm a fan of Goethe's Faust, particularly of his rock opera. I see him about twice a year when there is a show close to Berlin. Andreas.stockhausen (talk) 14:38, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * You do not know him personally and have never had any work relationship with him? Hypnôs (talk) 14:57, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
 * I talked to him maybe 5 times, but only for a few minutes after a show. We never had any work relationship. I do run a good business as an enigneer in Berlin. That explains why I'm also interested in the pyramid problem. Andreas.stockhausen (talk) 15:14, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
