If you want to leave a message, please do it at the bottom, as a new section, for better formatting. You can do that by simply pressing the plus sign (+) or "new section" on the top of this page. And don't forget to sign your messages with four tildes, like this: ~~~~

Attention: I prefer to keep discussions unfragmented. If you leave a comment for me here, I will most likely respond to it on this same page—my talk page—as an effort to keep the entire conversation in one place. By the same token, if I leave a comment on your talk page, please respond to it there. Remember, we can use our watchlist to keep track of when responses are made. At the same time, feel free to send an alert to me on this page about a comment you have left elsewhere.

Thank you!

Paid editing

Hello Matthias! An action of yours came up on my watchlist and, not recognising your username, i came here to take a look. I notice that on your userpage you reveal that you are paid by Bertelsmann to edit here at WP; that you are complying with the requirement of the notification is fantastic. I would like to point out to you, however, another part of the guideline which you many not have noticed: [Y]ou are strongly discouraged from editing affected articles directly; [and] you may propose changes on talk pages by using the {{request edit}} template or by posting a note at the COI noticeboard, so that they can be peer reviewed. i think that you are currently not editing in line with these, as you have edited Bertelsmann, Thomas Rabe (manager), and maybe others. I am not saying there is anything wrong with your edits ~ to be entirely honest, i have not yet looked at the edits themselves ~ i am merely concerned that there are editors in the community who might well take your actions as a red flag and try to prevent or discipline you. My concern is that you not give anyone the opportunity to complain and, to that end, i do suggest that you only edit talk pages, making suggested edits, as WP:PE recommends. I hope i am not coming across as too negative and, really do hope you feel welcome; if i can help in any way whatever, please let me know, here or at my talk page. Happy days ~ Lindsay^Hello 11:13, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
