Looks like a copy of http://www.sap.com/company/executives/apotheker/index.epx too me --217.85.89.31 23:26, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

How can he be 'Belgian-born' and 'born ... in Aachen, Germany' ?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.186.241.28 (talk) 21:47, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

There are still outstanding WP:COPVIO issues:

Birobidzhan

An interview in The Economist (2010) states that: "After the Nazis invaded Poland, Mr Apotheker’s parents fled all the way to the Russo-Chinese border." The Jewish Autonomous Oblast was established in the Soviet Union in 1934, on the border with China. Did the parents go to Birobidzhan, or did they just happen to reach the "Russo-Chinese border" somewhere else? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.194.149.252 (talk) 18:00, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

Biography?

Two editors now have removed an external link to what appears to be a publicity website for a proposed "biography project" on the subject of this article. The individual who says she is writing this biography has reverted now three times to reinsert the link to her website. I have yet to find anything that indicates the biography is authorized or that it even has a publisher. When I asked the editor on her talk page for some sort of reliable sourcing at least indicating that she is indeed writing the biography, she responded with what you see below (note that none of those pages provide any actual reliable sources) and then reinserted her link again. jæs (talk) 15:13, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

Start with google.com (or any other Google, all around the world - .de, .ca, .fr, .ch, .com.au, .com.sg) Project Around the Globe

Then enter "Leo Apotheker" into the search box - Google propose "leo apotheker my life"

On the website, you may find About the Biography

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I must slip away for a face-to-face with my audience.

I really have no idea if this is legitimate or simply a hoax, quite frankly. ("I must slip away for a face-to-face with my audience" at three o'clock in the morning her local time? Seriously?) Regardless, even if Walter Isaacson showed up at Steve Jobs and tried repeatedly inserting an external link to the publicity website for his book, I think it would still be spam. In any event, it looks like the "author" is entirely prepared to edit war to keep her link in the article, so I'm going to bring this up at wp:an3. jæs (talk) 15:13, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
