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)

Hi. I've deleted the article discussed above. If you would like to recreate it (but this time keeping within the Wikipedia guidelines), I would recommend a title that conforms to our Article naming conventions, such as "Florida A&M Concert Choir". But if you want to work on a draft before you have it ready, please do so in your own user space. Deb (talk) 14:26, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
