Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Brian Heap. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Brian Heap, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Gaia Octavia Agrippa ^Talk 22:52, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

Dear Octavia Agrippa I think I understand your point about COI and suggest a factual statement such as :

In 2012 he launched with David Bennett and Bernie Jones Biosciences for Farming in Africa in four African countries: Ghana, Tanzania, Nigeria, and Uganda <www.B4FA.org> In 2014 the Smart Villages Entrepreneurship Initiative was launched with Bernie Jones and John Holmes. Regional workshops, technical reports and case studies <www.e4sv.org> have been published <Van Gevelt et al. (2018) Achieving universal energy access and rural development through smart villages. Energy for Sustainable Development 43: 139–142>.

I hope this meets your requirement and I apologise for any self-promotion Brian Heap (talk) 14:35, 6 December 2019 (UTC)
