Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted (if it hasn't already).

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on. Again, welcome! Vianello (talk) 20:47, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of IN THE EYES OF A DIABETIC
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article IN THE EYES OF A DIABETIC, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process
 * this is a personal essay or original research, not an encyclopedia article.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

I'm sorry, TODAYANDNOW, your essay is interesting and obviously heartfelt, but it isn't suitable for an article in an encyclopedia. One of Wikipedia's three key content policies is that it publishes No Original Research - our articles are only summaries of things that have been published elsewhere. You can find out more at the Five Pillars and the guide to writing Your First Article. One other tip: when writing something on the Internet it's not a good idea to do it all in capitals - that's considered the equivalent of SHOUTING. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 20:55, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
