COI Verification
, There are no registered COI's on Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard or on Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard associated with this article. Per Wikipedia:Plain_and_simple_conflict_of_interest_guide:  You may have information I do not. However, with the lack of sourcing, notifications on either of the above boards, and no COI noted on any active user page previous to your January 2016 edit for the editor(s) previous to January 2016, I can not support the addition of this tag. Please add supporting material. If supporting material is not provided, tag will be removed again. I have no association with this page or anyone mentioned in it. Your editing statements have the appearance of unknown source material or a personal grudge. I do not know which is true. I am trying to help you maintain the the appearance of impartiality. MainlyTwelve, you were incorrect in your statement, "...COI disclosure not required for this tag". Please see Template:COI. You failed to open a discussion on the "Talk page". If you do have private information, I'd be happy to have an arbitrator review it per WP:OUTING. If the information is public, and I missed the fact in reviewing active users and the COI and BOLP noticeboards, I'd be happy to discuss that.

Template:COI
When to use Use this tag to alert readers that the article may be biased by a conflict of interest, and to request help with an article that is biased or has other serious problems as a direct result of the editing done by the subject of the article or by a person with a close connection to the subject (e.g., public relations employees). Do not use this tag unless there are significant or substantial problems with the article's neutrality as a result of the contributor's involvement. Like the other tags, this tag is not meant to be a badge of shame or to "warn the reader" about the identities of the editors. Do not use this tag if you can quickly solve the problem, e.g., by removing peacocking and puffery or by reverting the blanking of well-sourced criticism. Do not use this tag to notify readers that an article appears to be partially or wholly autobiographical. If this is the case, please use the more-specific autobiography tag.

Like the other neutrality-related tags, if you place this tag, you should promptly start a discussion on the article's talk page to explain what is non-neutral about the article. If you do not start this discussion, then any editor is justified in removing the tag without warning. Be careful not to violate the policy against WP:OUTING users who have not publicly self-disclosed their identities on the English Wikipedia. Note: COI is an abbreviation for Conflict Of Interest, see WP:COI. Do not use the Conflict of interest template, which is a navigation box.

When to remove

This tag may be removed by editors who do not have a conflict of interest after the problem is resolved, if the problem is not explained on the article's talk page, and/or if no current attempts to resolve the problem can be found.

Haitian Coffee
There has not been a time since it was introduced to Haiti that Haiti has stopped producing coffee. There was a period of time that the quality of coffee had declined and it was mostly used locally. However there were international aid projects to improve it before Carmichael got there.RichardBond (talk) 20:14, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

I should add that the same thing is true of Haitian Rhum Agricole the tradition of using fresh cane juice for rum. It is a cottage industry with more than 500 producers. There is a problem with inconsistent quality some clarins are good some are bad. There are other people in the American and French liquor industry who have been involved in trying to get consistent high quality before Carmichael got there.RichardBond (talk) 20:21, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
