Request for an English Translation for Schloss Elmau Page Sections edit

Greetings all,

I want to start out by saying that I am an intern at Schloss Elmau, and therefore have a conflict of interest in editing the Wikipedia page on Schloss Elmau myself. I am new to the Wikipedia community, but would love to become more involved and above all wish to avoid stepping on proverbial toes or engaging in any type of editing conflict. I aim to be straightforward in the goals of Schloss Elmau and my own goals, and welcome any questions or points of feedback that can help me improve Wikipedia through improving our company's page. Thank you in advance for taking this request in good faith!

We at Schloss Elmau have been looking at our company image on the Web, and wish to close the gap in the amount of content in the respective English and German articles about the hotel. The first step to this would be to translate the content in sections of the German page into content for new, corresponding English sections. Are any editors on Wikipedia particulary good at translating German-English text? If so, I would love your help with this interesting and important project! As an alternative, I would be happy to try to translate the text myself, and post it here for others to edit and add to the site.

German page (permalink): http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Schloss_Elmau&oldid=120222109

This is my first foray into editing at Wikipedia, much less editing under a conflict of interest. Any help with suggestions or edits for this project are greatly appreciated! Thank you again for your time.

Please read Requesting a translation, though you would probably be better-off hiring a translation service, as Wikipedia does not really provide this as-a-service. But there are editors that take an interest in translating articles, usually to hone their skills. CorporateM (Talk) 16:21, 30 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Leading hotels of the world edit

"It is among The Leading Hotels of the World"

sounds like marketing, hence my change to make it clear that the hotel belongs to a group of that name.

Edits needed in History Section edit

Some of this section needs a tidy-up in terms of citations, layout and grammar - especially the bit about location! I'll try to fix some of it myself when I have time and have checked some of the info. I question whether location information even belongs under the "History" sub-heading? 95.150.59.128 (talk) 12:46, 26 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
