@Valerievalpal: Hello, another problem with the article is that large amounts are copied directly from internet sources, including her official page. That makes its inclusion here a copyright violation. Crow^Caw 21:47, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It is not a copyright violation if the ownership is of Valerie Smith & Liberty Pike music company, "Valerie Smith Touring" and owner of web-site, http://www.valeriesmith.net. Thank you for your help. I am learning the details of writing appropriate information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Valerievalpal (talk • contribs) 21:51, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
