The user below has a request that an edit be made to Martin Scherer. That user has an actual or apparent conflict of interest.
The requested edits backlog is very high. Please be extremely patient. There are currently 894 requests waiting for review.

Please read the instructions for the parameters used by this template for accepting and declining them, and review the request below and make the edit if it is well sourced, neutral, and follows other Wikipedia guidelines and policies. Remember to set the |answered= parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input.

i previously worked as a research associate at the Departement of General Practice and Primary Care at University MedicalCenter Hamburg-Eppendorf. I no longer have a professional affiliation with the department or Martin Scherer. I am editing under a pseudonym, independently and without payment. I am disclosing this possible conflict of interest before proposing changes.

The English article contains outdated information and some promotional wording. I propose the following changes:

Update the lead to state that Scherer served as president of DEGAM from 2019 to 2025 and is now a past president.
Update the biography to note that Eva Hummers succeeded him on 1 October 2025 after his two terms as president. Source: https://www.aerztezeitung.de/Medizin/Eva-Hummers-zur-neuen-DEGAM-Praesidentin-gewaehlt-460474.html
Change “President” to “Past President” in the memberships section. Source: https://www.degam.de/praesidium
Replace promotional wording such as “important questions” and “was able to publish a high-ranking RCT” with neutral descriptions of the research.
Add the 2026 honorary award of the Saxon Society of General Practice. Source: https://doi.org/10.1007/s44266-026-00552-9

I will not remove the maintenance templates myself. After the article has been reviewed and improved, could an uninvolved editor please determine whether either template remains necessary? Lmd 2026 (talk) 10:38, 3 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
