Thanks for message. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a site for hosting obituaries, and you can't just post what you like.

You have an obvious conflict of interest, please don't write about your friends or colleagues and read the guidance below:
 * When you write about a person, you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that they meet the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the person or an associated organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the person claims or interviewing them. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls.
 * Most of your text is unreferenced. Of the refs you did give, the first two seem to be his own papers, as far as I can tell, the third just says "Template:Leopoldina", and the last doesn't mention him at all
 * He's probably notable, but we need independent third-party sources


 * You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews.
 * You have a list of honours, none of which has a proper ref, and none are linked to Wikipedia articles, so we don't know whether they are significant


 * There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections (not "weblinks".
 * You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.


 * I didn't check, but a block of text without proper refs or wikilinks, not even geologist or Museum für Naturkunde isn't a good sign.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. If you are writing about yourself, or someone you know as a friend, colleague, client, employer or relative, you have a conflict of interest, and you must disclose the nature of that COI.

 * I won't go through all the above for Thomas Kenkmann, except to note that it's even more promotional in tone. distinguished... lauded for his significant contributions... remarkable field skills... exceptional teacher etc. Note, incidentally, that headings should be in sentence case Jimfbleak - talk to me? 10:40, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
