Conflict of interest disclosure — Rowan Smith / Green Team Australia

Hello. I'm making a conflict-of-interest disclosure regarding this article.

My name is Rowan Smith (username Kwyo). I was co-founder, a director, and Creative Director of Green Team Australia, so I have a conflict of interest here.

I should disclose that about a month ago, while logged out, I edited the "Green Team Australia" section to add a sentence noting my role alongside Heather Rose. I did that before I understood Wikipedia's conflict-of-interest guidance. I'm now disclosing it properly and bringing it to the attention of uninvolved editors.

I also want to flag a sourcing issue myself, in the interests of accuracy: the citation currently attached to that passage (ref [5], the Daily Telegraph article by Carrie LaFrenz) supports Heather Rose's role and the existence of Green Team Australia, but it does not actually name me, so it does not directly verify the clause about my involvement. The information is accurate — it is also consistent with the Heather Rose article and other records — but I recognise it is not yet independently sourced to a publication that names me. I am in the process of locating such a source and will provide it when I have it.

I'd be grateful if an uninvolved editor would review the passage and keep, adjust, or temporarily trim the clause about me as you judge appropriate pending a proper source. I'll follow your judgement, and from here I'll raise any further suggestions on this talk page rather than editing the article about myself directly.

Thank you.
