  Hello Etlipman, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to Draft:Peter Lipman has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

  • You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and a cited source. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
  • Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
  • Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. /wia /tlk 22:35, 7 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

SwisterTwister - Thanks for your review and for pushing for more sources. I added a few more including a few computer science text books. Peter Lipman's biggest contribution to computing was at Digital Equipment Corporation - his operating system kernal and memory management work was fundamental and important to today's computing systems, which is why threads like this exist on USENET with people asking who he was. https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.os.vms/c9_quls-Nc8/2VpapWb9hEcJ - I've done my best to answer that question, for example, I spoke with David Cutler - a man who is still alive in this world - and worked closely with Peter at DEC - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Cutler - Peter is metioned in Culter's wiki. .

Peter Lipman was not, however, the spotlight seeking type. There are no Steve Jobs style documentaries focused on him.. However, like the Walter Isaacson Book, "the innovators" attests to, Steve Jobs successes with Apple were built on the notable innovations of people like Peter Lipman.

I should openly admit, the previous copyright violation was a mistake on my part. I added that text inappropriately. It was a copy and paste that I absolutely should not have done. Just a novice mistake from a new wiki contributor.

Perhaps the added sources are enough for you to approve.
