Positive affirmations

Wikipedia is not a self help guide - I originally PRODded this, as no CSD criteria could be applied, so I am bringing it here. — neuro^(talk) 18:58, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The part that bothers me is at the end, where it says "Copyright 2009". Either someone has posted copyrighted material or, just as possibly, thinks that they can get a copyright on their work by tacking on some magic words. Either way, the GFDL rules boil down to nothing on Wikipedia is copyrighted-- we don't put copyrighted material on unless the GFDL authroizes its use, and we can't post our own creation on Wikipedia and then protest if someone copies it. Even this wasn't copyrighted in 2009, it's an essay that doesn't fit the encyclopedic style. Mandsford (talk) 19:16, 24 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
