Hi there. Thanks for editing Wikipedia. I am the former Wikipedian in Residence at the Smithsonian Institution Archives, and I wrote the articles for a large portion of the Smithsonian museums. I've had to revert your changes to the National Museum of African Art article. First - it appears that you might work at the Smithsonian- if you do, you cannot edit the article about your museum. You are welcome to contribute much needed content about subjects in your museum to their articles (i.e. African Art), but, you can't edit about your own subject. This is because of Conflict of Interest policies we have. Also, any content that is uncited, or uses unreliable sources (i.e. not third party sources), can be removed. So sadly, I had to revert your edits. If you do have some changes you'd like to see happen, please comment on the talk page of the article. Just simply click the "New Section" button towards the upper right corner and type your request, then when you are done type four tildes (~) to sign your post and we'll get to it. Thanks!
