COI notice

I have been an employee at Tableau Software, and have done contract work there several times, and may do so again. From time to time I upload graphs created with the company's data visualization software. Credit (or blame) is mentioned on the file's description page; e.g. File:USA annual VMT vs deaths per VMT.png. Please let me know if you feel there is a conflict of interest problem. Cheers! --Dennis Bratland (talk) 03:07, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
