 * The text you removed was not a copyright violation.
 * Original reads: "For Collins, life in the city's most grim neighborhoods was a fishbowl of gang wars, with a father in prison and gunshots taking the life of his best friend at 16."
 * Article reads: "His upbringing in Chicago was difficult, with a father in and out of jail and gang life all around him. He lost his best friend to gunfire at the age of 16"
 * Text restored.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 04:20, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I removed the copyright violation again. Look at this source. It contains identical wording for the sentence I removed. I apologize for not listing the particular source in the first place. The contributor of that particular sentence has a history of copying/pasting extensively. VernoWhitney (talk) 15:16, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
 * The proper thing to do is to reword and WP:PRESERVE. Deleting is wrong. I will reword and readd.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 01:22, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Not to get too snippy, but per WP:PRESERVE: "Libel, nonsense and vandalism should be completely removed, as should material that constitutes a copyright violation" (emphasis added). Beyond that, I've been digging copyvio out of a couple hundred articles by this one editor, so I'm glad you're rewording it and preserving the information, but I'm afraid I'm not going to take the time to do that for every single copyright violation I see.
