I just edited this article by delivering a translation of the German article. As an employee of Rittal I sure have a conflict of interest, but I wasn't aware that a translation is seen as such, sorry! It would be nice if someone could have a look at my translation ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Rittal&oldid=812542531) and if it is okay publish it. Thanks and sorry again, -- Manuel Funk ( talk) 13:34, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

Below you will see where text from your draft has been quoted and individual feedback related comments have been inserted underneath each major proposal.
Regarding the Awards section, I apologize for asking for better references from you for these, which you did indeed provide in some cases. I really shouldn't have though, because in the end, these types of sections are usually problematic even with references. Industry related awards are, like many award systems in the business sector, based on a highly subjective set of criteria. This criterion and the standards and methadology used in its awarding is not usually disclosed here for people to see, keeping the contents and conventions of these particular awards and those who bestow them hidden from view. Perhaps what I should have asked for were references stating how and why these awards are significant to this industry. This along with references for the products and sponsorships is all that is needed now.

The list is shown above. You can see that the list is half-done, and yet it still remains compact in size even when uncollapsed. It autohides here on the talkpage only. In the article space its behavior would be to default open. However, if it is felt that auotocollapsed must be done, there are additional steps which can be taken. For now, you'll need to just finish the list. FYI the formatting may be difficult as far as the numbering of alotted spaces, if you're not familiar with this kind of table. When it's completed open a new edit request template and I can then move it to the article space. Spintendo ᔦᔭ 10:40, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
This version still requires at least one reference each to be placed in the products, locations [a] and sponsorships sections. As this version is perfectly minimalistic, I will accept references coming from the company itself. Those are the only obstacles left before having this version finally replace the current standing article. Spintendo 19:33, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
Notes
One additional point to clarify. Under Locations it states "Production takes place at 13 facilities, including the following:" It then lists several cities of locations. Does production take place in all of these cities? If this is a list of production facilities then the list needs to be focused on only production facilities. Please clarify.

"The list contains all of our subsidiaries and production facilities and most of our sales and logistics centres.If you could just add that to the draft version and maybe explain briefly the differences. I'm trying to proactively address any concerns other editors might likely have with this list, and making sure we describe what this list is "listing" is a good idea. Thanks Spintendo 06:57, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
This looks good. The only thing we need now are references for this information. I will implement the list of factories and the sponsorships, as those are things which traditionally have been allowed for the company itself to reference. If you can think of any other references those would be helpful. Thank you! Spintendo 13:13, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
