message: I was curious about the book used as a reference in the article, so I had it lent to my local library and consulted it there. The two authors, Kappler and Steiner, are/were public relations managers at Schott. The book is published by Schott AG. It describes the history of the company in broadly positive terms and is largely self-serving. This is definitely a primary source, and I would say, not one of the best kind.
For the anecdote, the book is binded with a plate of Ceran glass by Schott. It contains dozens of illustrations copied from Wikimedia Commons, all vaguely attributed but without mention of a license. -- Ariadacapo (talk) 19:17, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello, thank you very much for your feedback! I have replaced the references to the Kappler/Steiner book with better sources. Hopefully this is an improvement to the article. While doing this, I've also collected some additional information and sources relating to the company's history during and after WW2 which I would also like to incorporate in the next couple of weeks.

thread_title:  Book about Schott by Kappler & Steiner: primary source 

message: Per Spencer's request (see above), I would like to propose a couple of changes that I had made previously to the article, but were reverted for procedural reasons: 
# Updates to corporate facts (employee and revenue numbers): https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Schott_AG&diff=prev&oldid=1141140325
#  To address the templates regarding too many primary / self-published sources, I added a number of secondary sources to the history section and also made small textual edits where the new sources provided relevant information: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Schott_AG&diff=1151825163&oldid=1141140325
It would be great if someone could restore my edits. I feel that my edits are supported by credible secondary sources, and overall that they contribute to improving the article. If you have any questions or concerns, I am happy to discuss!

replies: text: It's been one month since this request was first replied to. It appears that some changes were made, and then these were reverted. If new changes are requested to be made, then these should be placed into a new request, which is easier than asking to revert older changes. thank you!  Spintendo  20:04, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposed Changes for Review 

message: Hello editors, I've worked on the products section to improve the lack of references and marketing tonality, as well as to provide a better overview of the products and applications. This new draft should address these issues and is meant to replace the existing section:
Thank you in advance for taking a look at these changes! Elisabeth at SCHOTT (talk) 10:30, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  Revised products section 

message: Hello editors, I noticed that the current article has predominently historical photos. I thought it would be an improvement to add some pictures to illustrate the products. I'd suggest adding the following pictures to the products section. Let me know what you think!
