Pachamama

Hello Wilhelmy, welcome to Wikipedia. You added an image to Pachamama apparently depicting the "eyes of Pachamama" in Machu Picchu. Searching the inernet, I could not find any website or book even mentioning "ojos de Pachamama" or "eyes of Pachamama". Therefore I removed the image from the article. If you want to keep the image in the article, you must add evidence for your statement. Tourist guides often give incorrect information that sounds interesting to tourists, and I am afraid this could be true also in this case. -- PhJ (talk) 21:44, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I have forwarded this question to the Department of Culture of the Peruvian Embassy who answered that the Peruvian historian and archaeologist Federico Kauffmann Doig interprets the sculpture as "Water Mirrors for observing the sky" in his book "Machu Picchu - Inca Treasure" which is cited on his Spanish Wikipedia page as "Machu Picchu. Tesoro Inca, Editor Cartolan, Lima 2005". - Wilhelmy (talk) 15:54, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I have had mail contact to the above mentioned Mr. Kauffmann Doig. Here his answer:

I am glad to inform you that ISBN of my book Machu Picchu is the following: 9972-40-341-6. Concerning the interpretation of the "Water Mirrors" as "Eyes of Pachamama" maybe it is right or it is wrong. It is only an interpretation of several. But it has some means because Pachamama is always waiting to be fertilice by the water of what I call the Water God, the most important divinity in all Peru materialiced in the Apus or sacred mountains. My interpretation is limited. I think the Water Mirrors are there for the cult of the water and as mirrors, maybe to vaticine the wether. Something very important for the farmers because the permanent climate changes done by the El Niño phenomen that are vividly present throught the History of Peru. Congratulation for your interest in the past of my country. Federico Kauffmann Doig

So I propose to add to picture published now in "Macchu Picchu": Some tourist guides also talk about the "Eyes of Pachamama (Mother Earth). Do you agree? --Wilhelmy (talk) 18:12, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, the privately financed Klung Wilhelmy Science Prize

https://www.klung-wilhelmy-wissenschafts-preis.de/en/preis/index.html

honors outstanding scientists in chemistry and physics. There are no other personal, scientific or economic contacts with me beyond the award ceremony. Wilhelmy (talk) 17:58, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify for transparency, given your username, are you Dr. Wilhelmy of the Dr. Wilhelmy Foundation? For Wikipedia, a COI doesn't imply bias: WP:COINOTBIAS. -Kj cheetham (talk) 21:50, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's correct: I'm the Wilhelmy of the Prize, who also takes care of Wikipedia (Otto Klung has been dead for many years). By the way, Monika Aidelsburger will receive the award on November 18, 2021. She already has a more detailed entry on Wikipedia in English than in German. Great!
