References and weblinks largely point to the same sources. I suggest this redundancy should be taken out. One link each to those pages in one WP article should suffice. --Gwyndon (talk) 10:20, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
This article appears to have been written by Ulffkotte himself, or one of his (few) subjects. Does every ex-jounalist now deserve they own Wikipedia page? I recommend this for deletion. The fact that Ulffkotte is a sectarian hater, a (fired) populist writer and possibly a racist does not make this person noteworthy. 78.94.33.52 (talk) 23:24, 25 April 2012 (UTC)
It seems that the fact he is, beside his vices, an anti-American agitator, pisses off most of the people. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.245.1.175 (talk) 08:29, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
Whether or not he is a nice guy is hardly relevant to his worthiness for inclusion. He seems to have a reasonably high media profile because of this Bought Journalists book, and he was the editor of one of Europe's most prestigious newspapers. The article needs improved, not deleted. Liamcalling (talk) 03:32, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
He appears to have published many more books than are listed here. There are more on the German wikipedia page and still more on amazon. Could a German speaker look at these and either list them or indicate in the article that there are more and on this page indicate the selection criteria. 31.48.7.210 (talk) 00:29, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

He is regularly called "Dr." Ulfkotte yet I see no substantiation so far. What I DO see is a history of truth-bending, as called out by various sites, including comments here. so either get more factual info or delete his article. I'm a former journalist with other careers that "could" be seen by some as page-worthy, yet I have no desire for a page here, nor do I know any other journalist who does - forget the talking TV heads and "pundits"~!~!~!. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.145.23.210 (talk) 17:19, 11 July 2016 (UTC) PS I don't know how to source the translation of the german wikipedia article which I have adde. Perhaps someone who has a great grasp of german can translate more relevant parts of that article. Agree with the person who said this page sounds like self-promo.
Self promo for a dead person?--Crossswords (talk) 01:57, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
Using blogs like dialoginternational.com as a reference for real? Just read a few lines from a few articles about him and it was totally one sided. There were statements based on lies as well like a made up connection about his notability and RT & Ukrainian crisis, while the agitators 'contributing' to this page already attacked him personally as early as 2012... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.21.99.195 (talk) 23:09, 14 January 2017 (UTC)
A Quote from Der Spiegel had previously included ellipsis where part of the quote was omitted. I completed the quote and removed the ellipsis. This was reverted as “unsourced”. Can anyone make sense of the reason? Here is the full quote:
Der Spiegel noted that "Ulfkotte's book was published by Kopp, a melting pot for conspiracy theorists. Kopp publishes works by ufologists, and by authors who claim the Americans destroyed the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center themselves in 2001. Ulfkotte's book was on the bestseller lists for months. "Bought Journalists" is the bible of all those who have renounced their faith in the German media. Ulfkotte's critics see the book as a vendetta against the FAZ, which he left on bad terms." Burrobert (talk) 18:01, 9 February 2020 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians! The references to the two Kopp blog posts where Ulfkotte allegedly claims that Obama ordered the burning of Bibles, and that African athletes would slaughter whites if allowed into Germany, return 404 error message. Does someone have a screenshot or the like to prove that he really did make those monstrous claims? If not, I'm afraid we need to remove the statements that he did. Sincerely,Nikolaj1905 (talk) 09:18, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
why such demagoguery here?
he isnt a conspiracy theorist, but he documented how the western (not-free) demagoguery press works ahh, i forgot why ... bcs terrorists of cia, gchq who have also the strategy to defame people all clear — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:A61:A9C:7A01:385D:953E:5914:B4AF (talk) 00:47, 25 February 2022 (UTC)
you should also include other "reliable sources" that claim the exact oppositeThis is obvious bullshit. --Hob Gadling (talk) 08:58, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
Ulfkotte is presented as "assistant editor" of FAZ which sounds a bit heavy. He was one of a few dozend employed journalists, working in the department of politics. Kipala (talk) 19:37, 10 April 2022 (UTC)
