User talk:Pozzitive
Welcome!
Hello, Pozzitive, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- Introduction - gives a brief outline of how to edit Wikipedia.
- The five pillars of Wikipedia - five important things to know about the project.
- Manual of Style - how to format an article correctly. Another good way is to check out our Featured and Good Articles.
- Referencing for beginners - all information on Wikipedia should be verified by other sources, and referencing facts properly prevents original research creeping into articles.
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Most of all, don't be nervous about editing, be bold!. Everybody was new here once, and there will always be somebody around if something isn't right. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.
To help us identify you, please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ~~~~, which will automatically produce your name and the date. Again, welcome!

The article Strap In - It's Clever Peter! has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Non-notable radio program, fails WP:GNG.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ukexpat (talk) 16:34, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Thanks A Lot, Milton Jones!, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.youtube.com/user/PozzitiveComedy.
It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.
If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 11:58, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
Your draft article, Draft:Thanks A Lot, Milton Jones!
[edit]
Hello Pozzitive. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled "Thanks A Lot".
The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, copy this code: {{subst:Refund/G13|Draft:Thanks A Lot, Milton Jones!}}, paste it in the edit box at this link, click "Save page", and an administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. JMHamo (talk) 23:24, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
Please use only one account
[edit]Hi Pozzitive, your message to User talk:Ukexpat mentions that you have added information to Strap In – It's Clever Peter!, but the most recent edits to that article by your account are from 2012 (when you removed the proposed deletion tag). However, some edits were made to the article earlier today by User:DHM24 ; is that another account you are using? If so, please make sure that you stick to one account only. While it is not forbidden to have more than one user account as long as the accounts are not used to edit deceptively (and I don't think for a moment that you have any such intentions), it is usually frowned upon when editors use more than one account. There are legitimate uses for alternate accounts but since "Pozzitive" appears to be the name of your company, you should not use this name as your user name at all, per this policy. So if you are in fact using both accounts, please stop editing under this name and use only the other one. You can post a notice on your user page pointing at the other account if you want, to reduce confusion. Cheers, --bonadea contributions talk 12:29, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
- Hi again, and thanks for your message. You said that "there was an existing company login which my old assistant had set up, the Pozzitive one (which is indeed my production company)". You can't have a company login, I'm afraid - Wikipedia accounts cannot be used by companies or groups, and each individual account has to be associated with one individual person. Please use your personal account instead. Sorry about all the hoops.
- Since you are editing articles associated with your production company, you also need to read the conflict of interest guideline and take a look at the FAQ for organisations. Thank you! --bonadea contributions talk 14:17, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
Yes, sorry, I meant I'd asked her to set it up to help me post articles, as I find the syntax and stuff very fiddly and difficult, so she helped me - she was a bit of a whizz at it all!
I have now read those articles you suggested, and am totally clear on this now, thanks.Pozzitive (talk) 14:22, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
