The page Donald Kreider has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appeared to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appeared to be a direct copy from https://math.dartmouth.edu/publicity/general/kreider-obit.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition has been be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion Review — Diannaa (talk) 03:52, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
Response to article deletion
[edit]I have considerably expanded and revised this article to avoid direct copying, in so far as possible, of material in obituaries for Donald Kreider. I am in the process of obtaining copyright permission for the photograph of Kreider from his partner Bill White, who took the photo and supplied it to Dartmouth for use in the obituary.
I would like to include a link to an oral history in the Rauner Special Collection at Dartmouth. My preferred link (www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiUkqG1u_L0AhXRTN8KHd-WCwIQFnoECAcQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dartmouth.edu%2Flibrary%2Frauner%2Farchives%2Foral_history%2Foh_interviews_pdf%2FKreider_Donald.pdf) to an on-line copy of the history was rejected because the site at Google was on a blacklist. I can supply a link to the catalog entry for the history in the Rauner Collection, but it is not possible to read the oral history by following that link. How can I make the history readable on-line? 21:44, 20 December 2021 (UTC)SJGarland
Managing a conflict of interest
[edit]
Hello, SJGarland. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Draft:Donald Kreider, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

[edit]I'm still beating the Dartmouth article into shape, but I think it's starting to stabilize now. I'd now like to separate out Structured BASIC. Do you have any resources from that era? There's practically nothing about it on the 'net, unless my google-fu is failing.
Has IEEE or ACM or any of those interviewed you about this era? It would be nice to have this down somewhere.
