Hi. You've probably noticed that I deleted your article on the history of the Florida A&M Concert Choir. This is because you copied it word for word from some other source. That's not allowed; it's a violation of copyright.

You're welcome to write a fresh article about the Choir, but please make sure to do it in your own words.

Sorry for the inconvenience. DS (talk) 16:27, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
