Thank you for your contribution of the page "Writers beware". However, as you may have noticed, it has been nominated for deletion. This is because it does not meet Wikipedia's criteria for being encylopedic, because it is of an instructional nature and isn't presented from a neutral point of view. You may want to check out the page What Wikipedia is not for more information on what generally is and isn't included in Wikipedia.

However, please don't let this discourage you from continuing to contribute to Wikipedia. We welcome your encyclopedic contributions and the deletion process is in no way meant to discourage or reprimand you. Also, instructional matter is generally acceptable for the Wikibooks project, so you might consider contributing there as well.

If you have any questions about this or anything else about Wikipedia, please don't hesitate to leave a message for me on my talk page. Thanks again for your interest in Wikipedia. –Sommers (Talk) 19:32, 21 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the reply you left on my user talk page, but as I explained above, there's no need to apologize or feel discouraged. As for how encyclopedia articles differ from articles in general, if you're still interested in contributing to Wikipedia (and I hope you are), you might want to check out the list of Wikipedia's featured articles for good examples. Again, if I can answer any specific questions, please let me know, and any instructional or advisory material may be suitable for inclusion at Wikibooks. Thanks. –Sommers (Talk) 06:56, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
