Your edits to Physicians for Human Rights
I undid your edits to the above page because they seemed ton consist largely of copy-paste additions from the organization's own webpage. This is bad for a few reasons. Most obviously the pronouns are first person--Wikipedia is written from an encyclopedic, objective stance: material from the organization's own page in their own words, particularly when they're describing themselves, is almost always inappropriate in tone for an encyclopedia article. Secondly, there are copyright issues: we can't accept verbatim text from most sources like that. Finally, information like this is not particularly useful. If people want to read the organization's own PR blurb they can do that on that organization's website. We're here to write an encyclopedia, not serve as a secondary hosting website for various organizations.

If you want to add material in the proper tone, and from an objective stance, you're welcome to do so, but please don't copy paste content from outside sources (this is almost never acceptable on the encyclopedia) and please try to remember the tone and content should be encyclopedic. Wikipedia readers are often quite sophisticated too... they can quickly tell when an article's tone is too sunny. That's why keeping tone and content from an outside perspective is important.
