Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to History of technology may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s and 1 "<>"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Thanks,

Just a quick note on Wikipedia's Conflict of Interest Policy

welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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

. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;

propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

Thank you.

I've had to think about this. There are six places mentioned in the text, including "of Byzantium" but counting Bavian and Khinnis as one. I have visited them all. Of the people listed in the references, there are 18 who are (were) alive in my lifetime, not including newspaper journalists. Of these I know (knew) 14: I have worked for three, got drunk with five, am related by blood to one and by marriage to another. I am happy for my contributions to be viewed in that light.
