Untitled[edit]

Hi! I saw the name of German sexologist "Rolf Gindorf" listed under your page "Notable Sexologists" but no details linked. So I thought I'd help by furnishing the official bio as given on his/his society's website: www.sexologie.org/topf/e_gindorf.htm (= same as www.online-club.de/~rp10524/topf/e_gindorf.htm) If in doubt you might have this confirmed by himself: rolf.gindorf@sexologie.org

Best regards, Wolfgang Gindorf

There's no doubt that this is his official bio, but it doesn't belong here in its present state. 1) It's not properly written for an encyclopedia article. 2) It's probably a copyright violation. We can fix the writing, potentially, but if it's a copyvio then we should delete it and start over. I will write a note to the address listed and see if the text can be released under the GFDL (essentially a public-domain license). -Willmcw 21:33, August 26, 2005 (UTC)

Rolf Gindorf has not received the note mentioned. So what should be done to get the article to conform to WIKIPEDIA standards? - WG December 15, 2005

The article in its current for may be a copyvio (criteria for deletion), and is difficult to read in gereral. Please refer to the Wikipedia Manual of Style for more information on making the article more readable. You may also refer to other biographies on Wikipedia for an idea of what we are looking for. Thanks! — TheKMan^talk 12:11, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I beg to disagree. No copyvio (could be easily checked with Rolf Gindorf), not difficult to read. But any concrete improvement suggestions would be welcome. -- WG, July 13, 2006

Section removed[edit]

I removed the following section because it needs reliable sources, not just the names of the people. These could be put back in if someone can find sources.

Leschnei, I'm afraid the whole thing was a copyright violation – please see below. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 14:04, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
