Problematic editing...
Several times, you have edited the article titled American Academy of Health Behavior‎ which have introduced text which is not of a tone or content appropriate for an encyclopedia article. Your text reads like advertising copy, which is not what we do here. Please stop, and try learning a little more about the style of writing appropriate for Wikipedia, also the proper way to research and provide sources for your text would also be something you should look into. -- Jayron 32 23:51, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

We made one major edit to the page, which was rejected. Then yesterday we made another edit, very minor, which we thought followed the same style as other wikipedia entries from the same type of non-profit academic organizations. Appears we have been rejected yet again. Can't really work out why, I don't think it reads like advertising copy. Not really sure what to do.


 * Well, one problem is that the quoted portion is word-for-word a copy of content located at https://aahb.org/About_the_Academy. We do not permit copyright violations here; that quote is not fair use of copyright content. You'll need to write using your own words.  General Ization  Talk  22:25, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

We tried editing the article based on the feedback but keep getting rejected. I have replied to the discussion but don't really know what to do.

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Stevendrowe. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI 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, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * 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 must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Neil N  talk to me 23:15, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for your feedback. All this has put me off editing on Wikipedia. I will see if I can get someone else to pick it up.
