Conflict of interest at Afro-Surrealism

Hello, Afrosurreal. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Afro-Surrealism, 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 and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, 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);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted.

In particular, you have been writing promotionally about yourself and your work, at the article Afro-Surrealism, and rewriting the article, without sufficient independent reliable sources, to suit your own person vision of the genre and its history, which has much to do with why it has been flagged with an "essay-like" warning/cleanup template. You are recommended to stop directly editing the article and to instead use the "request edit" template to suggest any further changes to the article.
