Hi there!

I noticed you've put some serious effort into your article, but it looks like you might have accidentally posted this one twice.

Would you mind please removing one of the duplicates? To do so, you just need to navigate to your user dashboard, click edit beside the article, and you should have the option to unpublish it in the editor.

Thanks a bunch!
