Dear MarioGom,

I am writing to respectfully request reconsideration of the

tag you placed on the article Wolfgang Löscher in January 2022.

After thorough investigation using Wikipedia's own tools (XTools, Page Information, Revision History), I have discovered that the factual basis for this tag does not exist:

Key findings:

1. The article was NOT created by Andcentra. According to IP contributions and XTools, the article was created by IP 175.101.144.171 on February 4, 2020. Professor Löscher has confirmed under signature that he personally created this article himself.

2. Andcentra's total contribution: 1 byte (0.007%). XTools Authorship data confirms Andcentra does not appear in the top 10 contributors. His only edits were on February 25, 2020: renaming the page from "Wolfgang Loscher" to "Wolfgang Löscher" (adding the German umlaut) — a purely technical correction.

3. The article passed AfC review. Editor Bkissin independently reviewed and approved the article on February 12, 2020, before Andcentra ever touched it.

4. Comparison with Andcentra's actual paid work: When Andcentra performed genuine paid editing, his contributions were typically thousands of bytes (e.g., Richard John Pentreath: +6,935 bytes; Ardem Patapoutian: +1,785 bytes). His 1-byte rename on the Löscher article bears no resemblance to paid editing activity.

5. The Sockpuppet investigation archive (Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Andcentra/Archive) does not mention Wolfgang Löscher as a paid article.

Current situation:

• Professor Löscher posted an appeal on Talk:Wolfgang Löscher in June 2025 — it has received zero responses for 8+ months
• A formal OTRS request was submitted over one month ago — no substantive response
• The warning banner has been viewed by approximately 3,200 visitors over 4 years, causing ongoing reputational damage to a scientist ranked #1 worldwide in epilepsy research (ScholarGPS 2025)

Request:

Given that:

• The subject created the article himself
• Andcentra contributed only 1 byte (a technical rename)
• The article passed independent AfC review
• No evidence links Professor Löscher to any paid editing

I respectfully request that you remove the

tag from this article, or explain what additional evidence would be required to justify its removal.

You stated on the Talk page that the tag could be removed after "thorough review ensuring notability, due weight, neutral language, and use of reliable sources." The article contains 20 unique references and has been assessed by 6 WikiProjects. I believe this standard has been met.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

• Hi MarioGom – I see from your contribs that you haven't edited in nine months, but on the off chance you see this, OleksiiAgent has also started a discussion at WP:BLPN#Unjustified undisclosed paid editing tag on Wolfgang Löscher — subject created article himself. There's some more discussion there. Caeciliusinhorto-public (talk) 10:48, 17 March 2026 (UTC)
