Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Overeating has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by some search engines, including Google. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Nja 247 (talk • contribs) 08:19, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to add promotional material to Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. ''The text you continue to add to the article appears to be promotional in nature and advertises the book linked to as a reference. Please review policy and do not re-add the information unless it's made to comply with our neutral point of view policies. Nja 247'' (talk • contribs) 08:28, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you use Wikipedia for advertising, you will be blocked from editing. PLEASE see the links I've added at the top of your talk page to review policy on advertising and promotion. Nja 247 (talk • contribs) 08:50, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Overeating
In response to your query regarding the removal of your addition:

1) The text you entered had marginal context to the article itself. It was a generalised statement and read as wholly un-encyclopeadic. 2) The text was also a copy/paste from http://www.centralhome.com/Emotional-Eating.htm.
 * 2a) Not only is that not encyclopaedic, but further a potential copyright violation.
 * 2b) Further it makes the addition appear to be promotional in nature in favour of the website of Amy Parker.

This is why your text was removed by two editors. The policies outlined above, which you said you have read, should have clearly identified these problems. Hopefully my reasoning explains why the text did not belong on Wikipedia. I suggest carefully re-reading everything on this page if anything is still unclear. Good luck with future edits.
