Conflict of interest - removed a lot of cruft

Hi. I recently removed a ton of non-cited information promoting the museum as a non-profit. This information came from someplace, and I assume possibly someone affiliated with the museum. If you are involved with the museum, please state so on your personal Wikipedia page, per the WP:COI policy. It's also highly frowned upon for users to edit Wikipedia articles about subjects they are affiliated with. Adding information that is non-encyclopedic, and not sourced with reliable secondary sources is also frowned up. Adding entire board lists isn't really relevant, for example, unless the board members have Wikipedia articles themselves and reliable secondary sources (WP:RS) are used to back up the information. Anyway, thanks for understanding and please come out about any COIs and keep your editing as boring as humanly possible, backed by proper sources. Thanks.
