Conflict of Interest on BETT
When a username linked to EMAP is found removing sourced criticism of one of EMAP's own events, this is both vandalism and a conflict of interest. The Guardian article is legitimate criticism, and the rest of the article is factual. I would point out that it also would not reflect very well on EMAP itself were it to be known that, if you are indeed Keith Clifford of EMAP, that its marketing manager is attempting to remove such sourced criticism from such articles. Please restrict your editing to articles not relevant to EMAP. Thanks, Black Kite 18:00, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments Black Kite. The article in question is over a year old and is not related back to the last BETT which was held in January 2009. I would later have gone on to link the page to comments about the most recent show. Keithclifford (talk) 18:59, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
 * That's fine, but the Guardian piece is talking about the concept of BETT as a whole, although it was written after the 2008 version. I know that the concern voiced in the Guardian piece is relevant (there was a similar piece in TES last year) but whilst it is best to make the article balanced it is only a single reference - I wrote the rest of the article neutrally.
