[edit] Hello. I wanted to let you know that your recent edit(s) to Visionary art have been removed because you cited the information you added to another Wikipedia article or an external wiki. As discussed at WP:CIRCULAR and WP:SPS, Wikipedia and other wikis should not be used in citations because they are not considered reliable sources. You are welcome to re-add the information using a different reference, perhaps from the article you originally linked to. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Also, Cliff McReynolds has nothing to do with the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism.

Managing a conflict of interest
[edit] Hello, MrFoxMBA. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Visionary art, 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 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 WP:Spam);
- 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. You have uploaded File:Landscape With Hand Grenade.jpg, described as "Landscape With Hand Grenade by Cliff McReynolds 1972 oil on panel", with "Source: Own work". My conclusion is that you are the same person as Cliff McReynolds, & to add information about yourself is a clear conflict of interest. Also, you do not have the same influence as Hilma af Klint, Hieronymous Bosch, William Blake, Morris Graves (of the Pacific Northwest School of Visionary Art), Emil Bisttram, or Gustave Moreau, & to place yourself in that list is inappropriate.
