Wikipedia:WikiProject Resource Exchange/Resource Request

See also WP:MHL#LIBRARY for military history resources

The Resource Request is where you can request information on a subject or request a specific article, if you lack a source for a Wikipedia article.

Skip to ↓ table of contents ↓   ↓ bottom of page ↓

Fixing references and common medical problems!
Warning: for legal reasons, we must note that the Resource Exchange cannot fix any medical problems. But it can fix references.

Making a request:

• A request may be an open question for more information on a specific subject, or you may ask for a specific article or work where you have a reference but lack the full text. Someone may be able to help you.
• All kinds of sources are possible here: any newspaper or magazine article, searches in a commercial full-text newspaper or journal databases, searches in academic journal databases, encyclopedia articles, court decisions, laws, academic publications or research results, biographies, etc.
• If you are looking for a book, have you tried to access it from Google Books?
• To make a request, either contact directly one of the people who have listed themselves below under Direct contact or folllow the procedure here for making a general request on this page.
• To get email replies without disclosing your email address publicly, configure "My preferences, User profile, E-mail options".
• Start a new section at the end of the 'New requests' section at the foot of this page and sign with your username. Request specific titles, dates, or a combination of search keywords. You also may specify which database or work to search in. Add as much detail as possible, it speeds up the whole process. Try to provide a DOI for an electronic document or an ISBN for a book.
• Keep an eye on your request on this page to acknowledge questions and remarks promptly.
• Once a request has been fulfilled, add a note to that effect to your request so that the work won't be duplicated by others. The {{Resolved}} template is appropriate. The request then will later be moved to the 'Filled requests' section.

Responding to a request

• Anyone may offer advice and fulfill requests. People whose library provides access to a relevant database or to an extensive (academic) archive, or anyone who has a personal collection of resources is particularly well placed.
• Edit any questions and replies into the relevant section of this page. Indicate which part or parts of the request you consider you have answered so others do not duplicate your work.
• If you decide to transfer an electronic document to the requestor this will normally be done either (a) by giving a URL ( http://... ) pointing to a web resource or (b) by email to the requestor.
• (a) Web document. Edit the URL into the relevant section. If the document is not already on a web server you may be able to upload it to one.
• (b) Email, particularly for sending a document as an attachment:

• If you have configured a Wikipedia email address ("My preferences, User profile, E-mail options"), edit the relevant section on this page asking the requestor to email you using "E-mail this user" so you may reply to them.
• Alternatively, and provided the requestor has configured a Wikipedia email address, by going to their user page and clicking "E-mail this user" you can send a text message (but not an attachment) which will give the requestor your own email address. In your message ask the requestor to reply so you will learn their email address. Edit the relevant section of this page to tell other people what you are doing. Reply to the requestor's reply with a second message which includes the relevant attachment.

An Occasional Paper

Hi All,

This one might be slightly difficult. The journal (and occ. papers) exist only as hard copy, and no libraries in my vicinity carry a copy. If anyone has access to it as a hard copy, i would be massively appreciative of a copy, or even just the abstract.

Smith, J.L.B. 1968. Studies in carangid fishes No. 4. The identity of Scomber sansun Forsskal, 1775. Occasional Papers of the Department of Ichthyology, Rhodes University No. 15: 173-184

The University of Kansas catalog shows additional info, e.g. the authors was "Smith, J. L. B. (James Leonard Brierley), 1897-1968", with illustrations by "Margaret M. Smith" (Margaret Mary Smith) Also, the publication date is close to the author's death date, which suggests other investigations. The "Department of Ichthyology, Rhodes University" was renamed after him as "The J.L.B. Smith Institute (J.L.B.S.I.), Grahamstown" in 1968, and is now the "South African Institute for Aquatic Biodiversity". The present publishers of the J.L.B.

Guinness Book of World Records

Anyone with access to the Guinness Book of World Records? Older editions as well which might have listed other items which have since been replaced? I'd like to know what the hottest chili pepper listed circa 1970 is. I would also like to confirm what animal has the largest eyes in proportion to its body size. Thanks in advance for anyone who can help. Lambanog (talk) 20:53, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

From the 1975 edition: "The hottest of all spices is the capsicum hot pepper known as Tabasco, first reported in 1868 by Edmund McIlhenny on Avery Island, Louisiana" (p409, Guinness Book of World Records 1975, Sterling Publishing: NY). Does that work?--droptone (talk) 18:21, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Hello thanks for looking it up! In 1975 they still listed the Tabasco as the hottest? Dang, I should have been more specific earlier about what I was looking for. I'm looking for confirmation that the siling labuyo was listed at one time in the Guinness Book of World Records as the hottest chili pepper. What you gave would have worked otherwise. I've heard lots of anecdotal evidence to suggest it was at one time and if the tabasco was listed I'm pretty sure the siling labuyo was too since it is hotter. In case you or anyone else is still willing to take another look-see it should appear in a year before it starts listing the habanero pepper as the hottest. The animal with the largest eyes relative to its body size should be the tarsier. Thanks again! Lambanog (talk) 18:22, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

The 1971 edition is OCLC 8531369, and the scanned 1962 edition OCLC 615740329 is searchable at Hathitrust. A search of it for "hottest pepper" finds: these pages, but for "siling labuyo" it finds only p.264, which is one of those found for "hottest pepper". For "habanero" it finds nothing. The 1963 edition is OCLC 7898454. As you can see these editions are scattered around libraries in the eastern US. For short queries like yours, it may be worth asking a reference librarian at one to check it for you. An interlibrary loan is unlikely for reference books. LeadSongDog come howl! 19:33, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

The 1989 edition of Guinness says: "The hottest of all spices is claimed to be Siling labuyo from the Philippines"

The tarsier is listed only as having the largest eyes for mammals (2003).JanetteDoe (talk) 05:24, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

The National Police Gazette

I'm trying to figure out if this new Police Gazette is real or not that this user is claiming is still being published. The article previously had it listed as defunct and a new user change it to claim that it is still being published. When asked to source he added references back to the magazine itself. Another user believes this claim might be dubious and maybe a vandal and asked for my help. I'm looking for any "The National Police Gazette" magazine after 1983 and trying figure out if its affiliated with the original at all to prove that is actually not defunct.

Dave Meltzer, Junkyard Dog, and Who Dat?

I have been trying to locate a copy of the following book in order to verify a fact about the history of the Who Dat? sports chant.

• Tributes: Remembering Some of the World's Greatest Wrestlers by wrestling expert Dave Meltzer, ISBN 9781553660859[3]

The Who Dat? chant is now closely associated with the New Orleans Saints, but it has a long and complex history, including, apparently, use by fans of the professional wrestler Sylvester Ritter, aka Junkyard Dog, in the early 1980s. This connection has been mentioned at Talk:Who Dat?, but hasn't been verified in a reliable source and therefore hasn't been added to the article. A Google Books search implies that Meltzer's book includes text that would verify the connection.[4] Unfortunately, the Google Books search result provides only a hint of the text (without even a page number), and according to Worldcat the nearest library copy of this book is 400 miles away from me, so I have been unable to verify the information satisfactorily. I previously asked about this at Wikiproject Professional Wrestling and received no response[5], so this is probably a long shot. But, if anyone here has access to the relevant text and cite, it would be very helpful to the article. Thanks very much.--Arxiloxos (talk) 22:08, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

The Winston Churchill Memorial Trust of Australia. Retrieved on: August 6, 2007.

John Robert Radclive

I'm planning to write an article on John Robert Radclive (also known as Radcliffe) (the first Canadian hangman who also lost his mind after hanging a corpse).

I'm looking for the following pages from official reports/debates of House of Commons,Parliament in Canada. (The OCLC given doesn't seem to be correct.)

• page 1959 of this 1916 book

• page 1764-1766 of this 1915 book which is the same as this one

If possible, also the conversation of Radcliffe, the hangman, published in the Maritime Baptist of 9th October, 1912.

I'm also looking for several articles in in which Radclive/Radcliffe is mentioned:

• a 1906, 1909 interview with the Starr
• a 1906 headline Hangman Radcliffe a Nervous Wreck
• a 1910 interview with the Telegram
• a 1910 editorial with The Globe

I'd appreciate any historic interview/editorials on Radclive...I've searched a few databases myself to no avail=(. Smallman12q (talk) 21:55, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Re the first, at this Hathitrust image we see p.1959 is from volume 2 of 1916 Hansard Debates, and that it is public domain when viewed in the US. Re the second, we see here that pp.1764-6 are from vol 2 of 1915 Hansard Debates. The newspapers should be available at least from microfilm in major Canadian libraries. There is some material on "John Robert Radclive" in google news archives, including this and this. It is clearly a pseudonym, akin to "John Law" though less widely known. He is briefly quoted here as having "said that visions of the prisoners he hanged between 1892 and 1910 'haunt me and taunt me until I am nearly crazy'". The archives at [6] may also be helpful, though you may need to register to use them. Good luck. LeadSongDog come howl! 19:10, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

• a 1910 editorial with The Globe

Smallman12q (talk) 20:51, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Those will likely take someone digging through the microfilmed issues. It would help if we can narrow down the dates.

The 1906 Toronto Star "Nervous Wreck" item is likely the one mentioned as "a few days before Christmas 1906" after a Vancouver, British Columbia hanging in [7]. This is likely to be 1906-12-12 - Robert Styles Featherstone (Victoria, not Vancouver)

The 1909 Brampton mention in the Star is probably 1909-02-11 - Stefan Swyryda

The 1910 Toronto Telegram item would have been published on the day of or in the days following "a Monday hanging" in Ontario. That year there were four in that province. Tues 1910-06-21 – Walter Ross; Thurs 1910-06-23 – Robert Henderson; Weds 1910-07-13 – Archibald McLaughlin; Weds 1910-12-14 – Rufus Weedmark; (days inferred by calendar from dates) from the list at [8]. Hence the Telegram hanging must have been stayed after the news piece was filed.

The 1910 Globe editorial relates to hiring his replacement, can we narrow that date down? LeadSongDog come howl! 16:36, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Kirkus Reviews -- Fledgling Jason Steed

http://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/childrens-books/mark-cooper/fledgling-2/ is being cited to establish notability at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jason Steed (Young adult novels). Can anyone verify that it says what's being claimed? Thanks. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 14:09, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

I have access, and it is a regular full review there, and concludes with the evaluation "Well constructed, full of adolescent wish-fulfillment and almost believable, this is an undemanding page-turner in the spirit of Alex Rider and Co. that will appeal to parents as well as kids. Let the sequels begin." BTW, I consider Kirkus a selective professional book review service, very widely relied on by librarians,and a RS for notability of a book-- in conjunction with another RS review.

The president who proved the medical guidelines wrong — by playing golf

I remember reading about this, not too long ago, but now I am unable to find the details. (I hope WP:RX is an appropriate place for this request).

What I remember is: There was a President of the United States who had had some kind of heart condition for which he received medical attention. Afterwards he was told that he had to refrain from every kind of physical exertion, for a long time, while recuperating, or else it would probably kill him. The advice was along the standard medical guidelines at the time. It therefore really worried his physicians when he completely refused to give up his weekly rounds of golf.
Surprisingly, he did not only survive, but made a remarkable quick recovery. So much so that subsequently the guidelines was changed from warning against physical exercise into, now, encouraging it.

Now I wonder:

1. Which US president was it? (May it have been Gerald Ford?)
2. When did this incident happen?
3. Was he acting or former president at the time?
4. Exactly what was the condition? (a heart attack? bypass surgery?)
5. How long did it take, after the incident, before the official treatment guidelines was changed?
6. Has this story been published in any acclaimed scientific biomedical journal?

--Seren-dipper (talk) 06:06, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

• I don't know exactly what incident you are thinking of. However, Dwight Eisenhower was well-known for playing golf, and he suffered a heart attack while president, on Sept. 24, 1955. He had played 27 holes of golf the day before. However, Eisenhower's doctors did not associate golf with the heart attack, instead saying that Eisenhower's golf habit might have staved off his having a heart attack for years. When Eisenhower returned to the golf course a few months after his heart attack, it was covered in the newspapers as a sign of his recuperation and not presented as a dangerous activity for him to be doing. You can find lots of coverage in the Google News Archive about these events. So if there was a president who was discouraged from playing golf by his doctors, it was probably someone before Eisenhower. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 18:38, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

Well, you may have been unsure about "degree of reliability", but if you were asking for the meaning of the abbreviation: "RS", then:

In Coates (2005) Notes and queries p. 171 [doi=10.1093/notesj/gji207] (which I have a copy of) he cites Bernard E.

Thanks, but unfortunately the nearest are over 40 miles away and in Washington, D.C., meaning they're at least an hour and a half away. I currently live in a rural area in one of the neighboring states. So I was hoping I could get the pdf(s), from someone with an institutional login, and then share them with my very small community here. Not one American university appears on this online publisher's list. A friend I have in England tried but his scientific institution does not pay for access to all the history stuff.

I see a great many US universities listed, including Georgetown, Catholic University of America, and UVa Charlottesville.

Or you might just ask at your public library if they can get it on ILL.LeadSongDog come howl! 07:12, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

The first two you mention are the ones I was referring to in Washington, D.C. By no American universities listed I mean at the online publisher's website, who have the files. Considering it would cost me a whole day going into Washington, getting it all done, and then going out, it will be cheaper to pay for access to one or two of the pdfs, approximately $30 apiece after fees, and leave the rest for later. DinDraithou (talk) 14:45, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

It sounds like an inter-library loan via your local library may be the way to go for your case. If not, it's almost certain that there's a local wikipedian with priviledges at one of those university libraries who could do it for you. Good luck. LeadSongDog come howl! 19:59, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

The allegation is here, and is specific to the point of page number. Google books is not sharing that page. I would be very grateful if anybody could review it and compare the contents to the article so that we can determine if there is merit to the allegation or not.

Pauly-Wissowa: RE, Vol. VII A 2

This goes out to anybody who has access to the University of Michigan Library: I need certain pages from the 8th7th volume (2nd division, Tullius–Valerius) of Pauly-Wissowa's RE. It is this one, the same as this digitised one at Google Books. There are some pages (according to Google pp. 1914 sqq.) with information on the authors of the RE articles which are very hard to obtain. As far as I can see, they don't seem to be in any other specimen of this volume. Being from Germany, I can't take a look at the digitised pages here. If anybody can, please contact me. If somebody knows where the original work can be consulted (the one that was digitised), I will be glad to compensate for any costs if you would be so kind and send me a copy of the pages in question.

Thanks in advance, if not for your help, then for your patience reading this. :-) Jonathan Groß (talk) 19:41, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

No, I don't think any other library will do. Maybe I didn't make myself clear enough: There are thousands of copies of the 7th volume of Pauly-Wissowa's RE in the world. But I need a look at this one copy at Michigan. The extra pages listing the authors (including birth dates) are what I seek, and they seem to be included only in this one copy.

So what I want is to get somebody from Ann Arbor, Michigan to go to the library for me and check out the volume which Google scanned, the one I need, and check it for an alphabetical list of authors (around cols. 1920 sqq.) and make me a copy/scan/whatever of these pages.

Thanks for your time, Jonathan Groß (talk) 16:55, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Ok, that much is clear, you believe that the one copy is for some reason unique. Now then, you've asked in different places for the 8th and for the 7th volume. If you did want the 7th, would not [15] or [16] be the appropriate handles rather than [17] which is evidently for the 8th volume, or did you really want the 8th?

Ok, so here is the U. Michigan library record. If someone has access rights to the content, it is available online. You seek series 2, volume 7, part 2 (or possibly part 1), pages 1914 (or possibly 1920) and sequelia, which you think lists authors. Is that right? I note that someone has checked out ser.2 v.8 pt.2, so it appears as if your original request is being acted upon, rather than the corrected one. LeadSongDog come howl! 22:13, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Music charting information in Finland and Australia

I'm trying to cite charting information for U2's album The Joshua Tree for Australia and Finland (specifically the charting peaks). This has proved difficult, as there do not seem to be reliable sources online for this. I've browsed through a forum with people posting charting histories and statistics (using books as their sources) and have found the relevant information I need. However, I need to cite the books directly and attribute the information to specific pages. I'm actually guessing at what books these users are citing, and they do not seem to be in print or readily accessible in the United States. Can anyone verify the information is in the books and if so, what the page number(s) is?

• Australian Chart Book 1970-1992 by David Kent - need to know the page number that lists The Joshua Tree's charting peak for Australia (I believe that is #3)
• Sisältää hitin : levyt ja esittäjät Suomen musiikkilistoilla vuodesta 1972 by Timo Pennanen - need to know the page number that lists The Joshua Tree's charting peak for Finland (I believe that is #1)

Hadji Ali

Looking for an article in the Daily Express reporting on him just after his death. He apparently died on November 5, 1937, though I have not as yet confirmed the date for sure. In any event, an article in Kingston Jamaica's Gleaner quotes from the Daily Express article and I want to look at the source material for more information. By the limited searches the website allows of non-subscribers, it may be the November 18, 1937 edition. Also, although I am looking for this article in particular, I'll take anything else the paper has on him from other dates.

Would another source with his death be useful? - Bilby (talk) 02:49, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

I have many. Date of death is no longer unconfirmed (November 5, 1937 is right). But the farther away from source material, the more unreliable they become. Some say he died while in Scotland. One says he died during one of his performances when his stomach ruptured. One even says he died while falling off a chair in Paris. When you look at newspaper reports closer to the source though, people on the scene in England, you get the straight dope. But the best source is an interview with his daughter who was with him through his illness, taken just days after his death. Among other things, it is the only place where his age is nailed down well, with all other sources giving circa dates (that are off by four years). As I said, it's from Kingston's Gleaner, but that article expressly says that it's excerpting from a larger article in the Daily Express. I've looked hard for alternatives without result.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 04:04, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

9/1998 issue of Counseling Today ISSN 1078-8719

In particular a number of on-line sources discuss statistics in the article "Creating a safer school for gay students" by M. Bart in that issue, bullying is quoted there at a rate of 26 per day or 1 per 14 minutes without further clarification. This got questioned at gay bullying as being contradictory. While i think it's more likely that it is not contradictory but simply incomplete (perhaps, say, every 14 minutes during the school day), the right thing to do is to get the stat right from the original source, and all roads lead to "[1] Bart, M. Creating a safer school for gay students. Counseling Today, September 1998". Not directly on google scholar (listed but not even an abstract provided), I'm hoping someone has easy access to the material, and can either provide me a copy or, alternatively, the necessarily clarification as well as page number to put a good cite into the article. Worldcat seems to suggest it's available as an internet resource but gives the closest library with said access that I've found so far at about 100 miles from where I am, not clear if online resources would go back to 1998, any assistance appreciated. --j⚛e decker^{talk to me} 19:26, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Wilbert Rideau articles

Hi! An editor of Wilbert Rideau talked about

Does this article exist? If so, may I have a digital copy of it so I can read it?

Thanks, WhisperToMe (talk) 14:51, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

The article exists, its referenced in a New York Times book review from 2010 available here. I couldn't locate the 1975 article in LexisNexis, but it would be much easier to see if I could access it in a different source if I knew the newspaper it was printed in. Dwight Ott appears to be a correspondent for the Philadelphia Inquirer. I don't have access to the Inquirer from 1975, assuming he was even there at the time.

This is going to be a tricky request. LexisNexis only has coverage from the Advocate from 1994 onward and nothing for the Shreveport Journal.

Encyclopedia search for Senkaku Islands

I don't have access to a library with major English sources in the country where I live. On Senkaku Islands, we're trying to determine the correct name to use for the article title (they're part of a political dispute between PRC, ROC, & Japan, all of whom use different names). One of the suggestions given in Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names) to determine the common English name is that we "consult English-language encyclopedias (we recommend Encyclopedia Britannica, Columbia Encyclopedia, Encarta, each as published after 1993)." Is there anyone here that could do that for me? What we would need to know is 1) What is the main entry for the islands titled, and 2) are the other names listed in the article and/or the index? The most likely names that it would be listed under are Senkaku Islands, Diaoyu Islands, Diaoyutai Islands, or Pinnacle Islands. They also may not be listed at all, as they're not all that important to countries outside of those involved. Appreciate any help anyone can provide! Qwyrxian (talk) 23:54, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Couldn't find anything in Britannica's online academic edition under those search terms, sorry. GabrielF (talk) 03:43, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

The advice to use encyclopedia entries as the arbiters is somewhat suspect, atlases or gazetteers might be more useful. Scholarly papers here listed are clearly accepting the ambiguous names, except when these papers are clearly tied to one or the other concerned parties. The US, for one instance, has decided to make a policy of not deciding on the matter. The best approach in such cases may be to follow the Derry/Londonderry example, agreeing to prefer one on the more-local articles and the other on the more-regional articles. Thus in this case a choice of the Japanese name for the group would be tied to a choice of the Chinese name for the individual island articles, or vice versa. This maintains an acceptably neutral POV overall. Of course all the articles should also include the "also known as..." as discussed at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names). LeadSongDog come howl! 20:33, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

I actually did check atlases at a US high quality university library; all 5 that I found (4 by US publishers, 1 by an Italian publisher) that mentioned the islands at all called them the Senkaku Islands; only 1 of the 5 even mentioned Diaoyu/Diaoyutai (in the index, not the map, something in the form of "Diayou=Senkaku"), and none mentioned Pinnacle Islands. Unfortunately, the Derry/Londonderry example doesn't work, because while the smaller islands have names, none of them will ever have their own articles as they simply aren't notable enough. The largest is only 4.32 square kilometers, with no inhabitants (for about 50 years at the beginning of the last century there were about 200 people on only the largest); the smallest is about .0008 square kilometers. They're basically interesting to the three countries out of a combination of national pride, fishing rites, and potential underwater mineral/petroleum resources. The reason I'm trying to find encyclopedia references is because the naming guidelines (see [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names)#Widely accepted name) explicitly says that checking major English-language encyclopedias is a good way to check if there is a widely-held English name.

L.T.C. Rolt, - citation request

There is a non-specific citation at Churchill Machine Tool Company that desperately needs a page number. Ideally, I'd like to see the page for myself but the number would suffice, as per WP:AGF. The book is:

L.T.C. (1965), A Short History of Machine Tools, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA: MIT Press, LCCN 65-12439 . Co-edition published as Rolt, L.T.C. (1965), Tools for the Job: a Short History of Machine Tools, London: B. T. Batsford, LCCN 65-080822 .

The statement refers to Charles Churchill visiting England from the US with machinery for braiding crinoline frames & simultaneously bringing over some machinery for Hiram Maxim. I am confident that the bit about Maxim is wrong ... but it could nonetheless actually be what Rolt said. In which case, his footnotes (if any) would come into play.

I'd hope that there is an index for the book & so it would not take much digging about to find the relevant bit. Long shot, I know, but any assistance appreciated. - Sitush (talk) 00:38, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Oxford Journals Digital Archive + location in 16th century London

I've just come across Ladies Hall, which may have been the first girls' school in England, founded in 1615. Which is potentially quite interesting, but details are sketchy to say the least. Review of English Studies (1970) XXI (84): 472-b-473. doi: 10.1093/res/XXI.84.472-b looks like it may say something interesting - on page 2, which is beyond the free access. It needs a sub to Oxford Journals Digital Archive - anyone? Also if anyone can turn up more on Ladies Hall (also spelt Lady's Hall and other variations) beyond the wretched Cupid's Banishment play, that would be great - Google Scholar doesn't seem to have much of interest. Just a location would be really helpful - it seems to have been in Deptford, somewhere near Greenwich Palace. TIA Le Deluge (talk) 22:08, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Great - thanks a lot Gabriel, that was the one, although it raises more questions than answers! You can take it down now, but I'll leave my wider question open a little bit longer. It seems that there's a fair chance most of the sources calling it a school got the idea from Nichols' Progresses of James I, I'd be interested if anyone has any alternative sources on Jacobean social history that have independent evidence of LH as a school. Le Deluge (talk) 19:04, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

No problem. I did a very quick literature search and found a 2005 article about a letter found by the Folger Shakespeare Library recommending the school. The PDF didn't load for me, but I got the text of the article (which includes a transcription of the letter) and posted it online here. This would seem to be a source completely independent of Nichols - although the letter is undated. GabrielF (talk) 19:39, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks again - but I only see one reference to LH, in the first paragraph, which since it mentions 1617 is probably a reference to the masque mentioned by Nichols. The letter seems to be talking about a school in Windsor, which is the other side of London to Deptford/Greenwich. Le Deluge (talk) 19:55, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Variety/Box office figures c. 1974

I'm looking for box office figures for the Don't Look Now article, since currently there is no information about its commercial reception. The article has a shot at FA but is lacking financial analysis. It was released in New York on December 9, 1973 and went national in January 1974 (October 1973 in the UK). If anyone has any copies of Variety from that period, or has access to box office figures from around that time would they do me a favor and look them up? I don't think there is much hope of tracking down worldwide figures, but I'm hoping to find UK, Italian and US. I think the US will probably be the easiest to find. If it mentions the budget I'd be grateful for that too, since IMDB says it cost $1.5 million, but I have no idea where it got that information so would like a more reliable source.

I'd like to use the quote in Fedspeak.Smallman12q (talk) 01:33, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

1991 article in LA Daily News

Hi, I'm looking for someone who has access to NewsLibrary.com database. I'm looking for the full text of a section called "Film News and Notes" published on 6 December 1991 in Los Angeles Daily News which talks about Academy Award submissions from newly independent countries which were in the end rejected. Here's the link to the item at NewsLibrary. I've tried looking at the Daily News web archive but it only goes back to 1998. I plan using it for reference so I'd need the full text and author name (if there is one credited). I can be contacted on my talk page or via email (the link is there). Thanks a lot! Timbouctou (talk) 07:49, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

I took a look at this via LexisNexis, and found the publication under the name "The Daily News of Los Angeles". Unfortunately LexisNexis only has coverage from January 04, 1997 so no help there - just reporting in case someone else tries looking there. The NewsBank subscription available to me doesn't cover LA Daily News :( Duvin (talk) 09:09, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Well thanks for looking anyway, I appreciate it :) I suppose we'll have to do without it. Timbouctou (talk) 17:26, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Fake aircraft part articles

• "Bogus parts compromise safety of air travel." Arizona Daily Star. December 26, 1996.
• "FBI arrests 32 in sting of stolen aircraft parts." Ocala Star-Banner. September 24, 1993.
• Day, John S. "Cohen derides FAA inspections Senator says thousands of airplanes are built with unapproved parts." Bangor Daily News. May 25, 1995. Start Page 1.

I would like more information for the unapproved aircraft part article Thank you WhisperToMe (talk) 18:20, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

I've put the Bangor Daily News article online for you here. Let me know when you've downloaded successfully so I can remove the link. I only have access to the Ocala Star-Banner from 2002. I SHOULD have access to the Arizona Daily Star from 1990 onwards, however, I can't find the article in Factiva. I've searched a number of different ways and found other articles from that day's issue so I'm not sure why it isn't there. If I have a chance I'll ask a reference librarian what the problem might be. I guess not all articles from a given newspaper are included in certain databases or in every subscription to the database? GabrielF (talk) 16:17, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for getting the Bangor article!

I understand that not every newspaper database has every copy of every newspaper. Try LexisNexis (if you have access to it) and see what it produces... WhisperToMe (talk) 17:20, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

OK, I think I figured out what's going on. The Arizona Daily Star story actually came from the AP, which is probably why it was excluded from Factiva. Newspapers pick their own headlines for AP stories so different versions appeared in different papers. I found a few different versions, the longest of which appeared in the Columbus Dispatch. I've put it online here. I don't have access to the Ocala Star Banner from 1993, but the story was also covered by the Miami Herald, the Sun Sentinal and the Washington Times. I've put those three articles online for you here. GabrielF (talk) 18:32, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for getting the articles!

I'll mark the Arizona Star one as completed, since it's the article I'm looking for

For completeness's sake, I'll keep Ocala unmarked, but I thank you for getting the related articles - They will help me build the unapproved parts article

"santorum" in OED?

Resolved

This is one I should do myself, but I'm being lazy, and hopefully someone has instant recourse to the current OED. Is "santorum" in the OED? Mostly I'm looking for a yes/no, but I'd be interested what the entry says. Wnt (talk) 20:11, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

It is not in the OED. GabrielF (talk) 23:58, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

FWIW, the timeline on the OED website indicates that they added only 28 new words between 2000 and 2004, and none since.   Will Beback  talk  23:02, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

Hmm, I'm not sure that's true. There's a "What's New" page[20] which says that the dictionary is updated four times a year (latest June 2011) and has a list of new words. I think the timeline shows when the words were coined rather than when they were added to the dictionary. (A word might have been first used 50 years ago but only added to the OED this month.) GabrielF (talk) 23:53, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

That makes more sense - it's hard to imagine why they wouldn't keep adding words.   Will Beback  talk  00:11, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

An aside: as someone who studied at Cambridge University and in full acceptance that there is a traditional rivalry between that and Oxford University, the fact that Oxford might be negligent in their scholarship comes as no surprise what so ever. <g> - Sitush (talk) 00:14, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Perhaps so. I think I've figured out the apparent discrepancy. The timeline shows the date of first uses, not the date of addition to the dictionary.[21][22] The words added this year were first used long ago.[23] The newest words are from 2004, though new words coined earlier have been added. The lesson is that they don't add words that are newer than six years.   Will Beback  talk  00:46, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Good detecting. Would be great if they allowed you to add a tag to their pages! - Sitush (talk) 01:00, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Shoku Nihongi

I am looking for a copy of the Shoku Nihongi in translation. Any language except for 8th century kanbun (=the original) is fine. There exist at least (modern) Japanese and English translations of the work. I'd prefer an English translation such as this. In fact I don't need the whole work, but only a very small part of it covering events around the year 740 for an article I am working on. Please let me know if you have access to the book and I would happily direct you to the relevant entries. Thanks. bamse (talk) 19:53, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

It looks like my library has the volumes of the Transactions of the Asiatic Society of Japan that contain the English translation you linked to above. Let me know which parts you want and I should be able to get scans for you. GabrielF (talk) 17:54, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Great, that would be very helpful. I am mainly interested in the year 740 and a little bit interested also in 737, 738 and 741. The Shoku Nihongi is originally in 40 volumes and written like a diary with dates and corresponding events. The years 738 and 740 are in volume 13, the year 737 in volume 12 and 741 in volume 14 (out of a total of 40 volumes). Not sure whether the translation is also separated in volumes/chapters like this. Also, I am not sure whether the translation uses Japanese Nengō dates or western dates, so below I provide both. Ideally, if it is not too long, I would like all of volume 13 (from Tenpyō 10, 1st month, 1st day ("10/1/1") = 25 Jan 738 to Tenpyō 12, 12th month, 15th day ("12/12/15") = 6 Jan 741), and the second half of volume 12, i.e. the one about the year 737 (=Tenpyō 9) plus the one date from 741 listed below. If that's too much, I'd be happy about the following dates (all in vol. 13 unless noted):

• 9/9/28 = 26 Oct 737 (in vol. 12)
• 10/4/22 = 15 May 738
• 10/12/4 = 17 Jan 739
• 12/8/29 = 24 Sept 740
• 12/9/3 = 28 Sept 740
• 12/9/21 = 16 Oct 740
• 12/9/24 = 19 Oct 740
• 12/9/25 = 20 Oct 740
• 12/9/29 = 24 Oct 740
• 12/10/9 = 2 Nov 740
• 12/10/23 = 16 Nov 740
• 12/11/1 = 24 Nov 740
• 12/11/3 = 26 Nov 740
• 13/1/22 = 12 Feb 741 (in vol. 14)

Please let me know if you need help locating those parts. bamse (talk) 22:54, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

I found the two volumes of Transactions of the Asiatic Society of Japan that are referenced on the Berkeley website you listed above. Unfortunately, those volumes only contain books 1 through 6 of Shoku Nihongi. Since they were published in 1934 and 1937 respectively, I can only speculate that the translator's work was permanently interrupted by WWII. I don't see any other English translation in our collection. There are a number of Japanese versions, however. One is online here. I don't even know enough Japanese to recognize if the version is 8th century script or not. Maybe you can search through the card catalog for Shoku Nihongi and let me know if you find anything that might work for you. I can also inquire with the Harvard-Yenching Library. GabrielF (talk) 23:24, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Too bad. Thank you for taking the trouble to look it up and for your offer to help more. Apparently there is no complete English translation of the work, so I'll have to find a (modern) Japanese one (if it exists). The book you linked to unfortunately looks like old Japanese (can't say whether it's 8th century) with a few later (at least 9th c.) annotations in katakana. Will need to keep on looking for a source which I can make sense of. bamse (talk) 00:57, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

I found a possible source: [25], which is available at your library. The first volume of this three volume edition contains the years in question (="Source1"). Not sure how the book is organized in chapters. Possibly they have separate chapters for each of the original volumes. "Source1" should contain the first 14 books/volumes of the 40 volume Shoku Nihongi. If that is the case, I'd need (parts of) the last three chapters of "Source1" and definitely the second last chapter (=vol. 13 of Shoku Nihongi). Alternatively you could look out for "天平12年" or "天平十二年" which means the year 740 in Japanese. Please let me know if you have difficulties locating the sections. bamse (talk) 20:47, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

May I add a second (and last) request? Anything about Fujiwara no Hirotsugu's rebellion from this book. In the old 1992 edition that would be around page 61ff. bamse (talk) 21:55, 14 July 2011 (UTC) Second request has been fulfilled. bamse (talk) 16:55, 8 October 2011 (UTC) I'd still be happy if somebody could get the Shoku Nihongi in translation (English, modern Japanese,...). bamse (talk) 02:04, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

I will try to get this. To clarify, you still need all the dates above, in volumes 12, 13, and 14? JanetteDoe (talk) 15:27, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

That would be great. Yes, I'd need all of the dates above (which should not be too much since entries are generally short). Also, if there are any footnotes, it would be good to have those. Ideally, I'd have it in any non-Japanese (non-Chinese) language, but as far as I am aware it only exists in 8th century Japanese (which I have and don't need) and modern Japanese translation (see source above). Please let me know if you need any help in locating the dates. bamse (talk) 17:12, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

1950s Canadian train crash documents (hard request)

This is a toughie, but I want to throw it out to the 'munity and see what the Wiki can do! Looking for the (1) "Accident Investigation" and (2) the court transcript related to the Canoe River train crash.

• Accident Investigation: Report issued 22JAN51 by the "Board of Transport Commissioners" concerning accident that occurred on 21NOV50 at Canoe River, British Columbia between "Passenger Extra 3538 West" and "CNR Train No. 2, the Continental Limited".

• Court transcript: manslaughter trial of Alfred John "Jack" Atherton, Supreme Court of British Columbia, prelim hearing on 13MAR51, trial on 09-12MAY51.

P.s. Thanks in advance. Think this will be tougher than just checking Lexis-Nexis (although I lack access so we could start there).

TCO (reviews needed) 18:09, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

The first just might be included or summarized in the 1950 or 1951 issue of this serial, the board's annual reports.

The latter may be hinted at by this Jan 17 or this May 14 newspaper report. It would appear the trial was in Prince George. I tried searching here, but it seems they only have recent cases. The longer description here is intriguing too. Good luck with the hunt.LeadSongDog come howl! 20:19, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Oops, I see now the article is way ahead of me... LeadSongDog come howl! 21:05, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Is your last comment in regard to the first request or the second? For the first request, I can get the 1951 volume of the Report of the Board of Transport Commissioners although I'm not sure if that will contain what you're looking for. There's also a different serial called "Judgments, orders, regulations, and rulings." from the Board of Transport Commissioners for the same time period. GabrielF (talk) 22:17, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

Let's check it. If it has the report itself, great. If there is other content (e.g. summary or actions taken or really anything) please let know as well. I guess a photocopy or a scan or whatever would help. Interested to see what you get!TCO (reviews needed) 22:29, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

(edit conflict)

It was in regard the Diefenbaker link, which is already present in spades in the wp article. I'm purely guessing as to whether that report is included in the 1951 volume. It could very well be the case that investigations were not included in such annual reports. I'd suggest asking a librarian to give it a quick application of an eyeball to the table of contents before going to any great trouble to get it. I suppose there's also a possibility that Dief's collected papers wound up as an archival fonds somewhere (likely either in Ottawa or in Prince Albert). Those might include more details on the case. LeadSongDog come howl! 22:34, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

I've got the "Forty-Seventh Report of the Board of Transport Commissioners for Canada for the Year Ended December 31 1951", unfortunately it only has very general statistics about accidents - tables listing the number of employees or passengers killed or injured per type of accident and per rail company, that sort of thing.

At the moment I'am doing some research about the decolonization in Indochina and the Belgian Congo, which means that I need the years 1945-1949 and 1960-1965. Is it possible to download a whole book as single PDF file? As the versions published before 1927 should be in the public domain, I had the idea to upload those old ones on Commons...--Antemister (talk) 12:45, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

Sorry for my absence. The last few months have been very busy. I've uploaded a zip file with Indochina from 1945-1949 and the Belgian Congo from 1960-1965. You can get it here. Please let me know when you've downloaded successfully and I'll take down the link. Note that for some years the Belgian Congo is listed as a subsection of Belgium and French Indochina is a subsection of France. GabrielF (talk) 17:21, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

Got it, but articles contained only a few data I needed. I use the SYB to create infoboxes for historic conutries At the moment, boxes for the following countries are in construction or planned:

• Republic of Cochinchina/State of Vietnam, due to the war, the SYBs from 1945 to 1949 contain only prewar data, perhaps the ones from 1950 to 1955 have newer figures
• Federation of South Arabia/Protectorate of South Arabia/Federation of Arab Emirates of the South/Aden Protectorate, the german equivalent to the SYB, the Fischer Weltalmanch for the time from about 1958 to 1965, when major political changes took place
• Katanga/South Kasai (1960-1963, does the SYB contain Katanga and Kasai?) and Biafra/Benin (1967-1970) will be my next ones--Antemister (talk) 09:17, 2 October 2011 (UTC) [copied from my talk page by GabrielF (talk) 16:18, 2 October 2011 (UTC)]

I've added Indochina (included under the French Union) and Vietnam from 1950-1955 and Aden/Federation of South Arabia (included under the British Commonwealth) from 1959 - 1965. For some reason when I try to load the British Commonwealth for 1958 I get an error message. There is no separate entry for Katanga or Kasai. There is no entry for Biafra or the Republic of Benin (the short-lived one in Nigeria rather than the one formerly known as Dahomey). I've included the sections on Nigeria (under British Commonwealth) for 1967-1970. You can download the new zip file here. Note that it is 60MB.

Duffy's Irish Catholic Magazine

This is the first column of the first article in the series I am looking for.

I am looking for three articles which appeared in this short-lived magazine. They appeared in the issues for March, April, and May 1847, all about ecclesiastical architecture and all by J. J. McCarthy (leading Irish architect of the Gothic revival) but these articles were not signed (the authorship was revealed in a later issue). I am not aware of any digitizations of this magazine but at least following libraries have it:

• National Library of Ireland, Dublin
• Trinity College Dublin
• University College Dublin
• Xavier University Library, Louisiana
• National Library of Scotland, Edinburgh
• University of Manchester, The John Rylands University Library

I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for. There aren't distinct entries on Europa World for each of the above. Are you looking to see text that references these governments? Perhaps you can search the book at Google Books to see which entries you want and I can provide you with the full text if the Google Books preview is insufficient.

The Europa World Year Book is an almanac published (bi)annualy since 1926. It is very likely that http://www.europaworld.com/pub/ has digitalized versions of the old version (I do not know it, as I have access only to the start page page). I do not know if there are separate entrys for those unrecognized country (data for them is not easy to find - that's why I ask), perhaps you find the data for Biafra in Nigeria's entry during the years from 1967 to 1970 and those for Katanga in the entrys for Congo-Leopoldville from 1960 to 1965.--Antemister (talk) 20:22, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

[44] New light on James Weddell master of the Brig Jane of Leith in Scottish Geographical Magazine, Volume 81, Issue 3, 1965, the article is by A. G. E. Jones on pages 182-187. Link to the right is an online version but I'm afraid I don't have access to Taylor and Francis online. Bit of an obscure one to get a hold off but if anyone has access I would be most grateful.

Pigot's National & Commercial Directory 1832-1834

Resolved

Hello, can anyone help me with a reference, and ideally text, for mention of stage coaching from the "Swan Inn" in Sturry, Kent, UK, to Herne Bay, Kent, in Pigot's National & Commercial Directory 1832-1834? Though, anything about this Swan Inn from Pigot's would be good. I was pointed to Pigot's after seeing it cited here. Thanks in advance. Nortonius (talk) 16:23, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

[45] Is that the sort of thing you were looking for? Google Books is your best bet. Wee Curry Monster talk 16:33, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the rapid response! Yes, that would be exactly the kind of thing, terrific - except I searched Google Books before coming here, and drew a blank for Kent (i.e. the Swan Inn you found is in Worcestershire). Hm! Thanks anyway. Nortonius (talk) 17:11, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

Ah sorry, I checked again and drew a blank for Kent. Has it ever changed its name? Wee Curry Monster talk 22:54, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

I think I may have an explanation. It looks like different editions of the directory had different counties in them. This 1834 edition which is online does not have Kent. This edition from 1839 has Kent but its not online. I could request the 1839 edition and scan the relevant page, but probably not until after the 1st of the year. GabrielF (talk) 23:17, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks again Wee Curry Monster, but no, it's been "Sturry" since at least the 7th century! And GabrielF, that makes sense. Getting a scan for me would be wonderfully kind, and early next year would be soon enough! Forgive me if I'm stating the obvious, but of course I'd be grateful too if a scan were accompanied by the usual publication details, since it's not online. I'll be keeping an eye out here in case you manage to do that for me. Lovely. Nortonius (talk) 23:54, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

GabrielF, do you still mean to "scan the relevant page" from the 1839 edition of Pigot's for me? I don't mean to be a pest, but gawd knows I find it all too easy to lose track of things over the Xmas-New Year holidays, and I wouldn't blame you if you had too! :) Cheers. Nortonius (talk) 15:31, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Would Historical Directories 1750–1919 be of any help? I have never used this web site before so I am unable to determine how good it is. I attempted to search within Kent for Sturry and although it seemed to return 88 hits, I was unable to make sense of the first few. If you succeed in making sense of this site, do let me know, as this site may be a useful resource for my own articles --Senra (Talk) 15:18, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Senra, that is an excellent site and I have used it quite a bit. Linking is slightly tricky but it can be done to the PDF of a directory page once you have located it. - Sitush (talk) 15:40, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Yes, it looks like that to me too! Thanks for the tip, though I've not yet found mention of coaching in the way the earlier suggestion did for an inn in Worcs.; and, I'm finding searching the site a right pain! Otherwise, very useful. Nortonius (talk) 16:13, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Nortonius - sorry for the delay. I requested the book from the depository and should scan it in the next couple of days. GabrielF (talk) 20:37, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Ah, that's great, thanks again GabrielF - hopefully, with a look at Pigot's, I'll be able to set stage coaches running through northern Kent again, if only in the world of WP! :) Nortonius (talk) 22:08, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

I've scanned the sections on Canterbury and Herne's Bay in Pigot's 1939 edition covering Kent, Surrey and Sussex. The Canterbury entry includes Sturry. There is a Swan tavern listed in Sturry, but it is not listed as an Inn. There is a fairly long list of stagecoaches and vans, but no vans that go to Herne Bay seem to originate in Surrey as opposed to Canterbury. Here is the link: [46]. Its a 31MB file, I chose to scan at high quality because the print is small and 19th-century quality.GabrielF (talk) 20:58, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks so much for the super duper scan GabrielF, you got that spot on! And for giving me your digest of what to look for! Dowloaded now with humble and heartfelt thanks. If you want to throw a job my way, that I might be able to help with, be my guest! Mark this one as done. Nortonius (talk) 00:36, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Collected works of Sir. Henry Vane the younger

I am looking for access to the collected works of Sir. Henry Vane the younger.

Where in the State of Washington can I obtain access?

I believe a collection was donated to Harvard and Cornell University by President of Harvard, Jared Sparks in the 1840's as a public trust. However, repeated requests to Harvard have not gotten a response.

Rob Miles bridgexplorer@gmail.com

(Added by User:Bridgexplorer to Henry Vane prefix:Wikipedia:WikiProject Resource Exchange/Resource Request/Filled requests.)

Searching Hollis by author for "Vane, Henry, Sir, 1612?-1662" (the "official" version of his name according to the Library of Congress "Authorities" database) shows up a considerable number of works. It appears they catalogued them individually, rather than as a single "collected works" entry. Perhaps you can narrow down what specific work you are looking for. Searching WorldCat also has many finds, some of which are available online. Searching the Internet Archive has many scanned texts which may help. I suspect that you refer to this one, edited by Jared Sparks. Annexed at pp.401-403 therein is found the list of all twenty five published works which Sparks understood Vane to have authored.

I don't suppose there'll be too many, but it looks very important for little old Reculver - thanks in advance! Nortonius (talk) 17:36, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Ok - I want to add another one! Judging by worldcat.org it's rare, but there was a copy on my shelf in a job I had until 2002...!

Montreal Gazette from 1981

Hi,
For some articles on Quebec political parties, I am looking for this article : Hubert Bauch, "Chasing votes on the political fringe," Montreal Gazette, 28 March 1981, p. 25. It is a Quebec newpaper. I did not found the ISSN, but you can have the information about thw newspaper there : The Gazette (Montreal). Thank you very much! — Riba ^(talk) 21:43, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

The Gazette is the English-language paper of record for Quebec. It will be held on microfilm in most major public or university libraries in Canada. Library and Archives Canada - Amicus #39168168, Library and Archives Canada - Amicus #39736664, Library and Archives Canada - Amicus #26920798 all pertain, but OCLC 19417411 is probably the most useful.

Electronic versions may not exist, you know. For example, my library's ProQuest goes back only to 1985, and when I try the example search on Eureka.cc's free search, specifying the Montreal Gazette between 1980 and 1987, the title (sans quotes) turns up nothing. --Gwern (contribs) 16:08 26 January 2012 (GMT)

Two sources for Taddle Creek (magazine)

• The anthology The Journey Prize stories #18

World Cat listing What I need is the notes section that says the story "The eclipse" is from the magazine Taddle Creek. Then that page can be used as a reference for a Taddle Creek story being long listed for the Journey Prize.

• NOW magazine (of Toronto) vol 23 no 9 from October 30, 2003

This issue contains the yearly Best of Toronto. There is an online archive but I can't figure out how to get from this contents to the actual page that supposedly declared Taddle Creek best Lit Mag Cloveapple (talk) 08:38, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

For the first source, this Google search should be sufficient. Here is a snippet. Goodvac (talk) 09:11, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

I agree that that search ought to produce a snippet that works, but oddly the snippet that results doesn't contain the needed combination of the story name and magazine name. I'm not sure I can get away with using the search page itself as a reference. Cloveapple (talk) 06:37, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

I just looked at the search again, and this anthology came up. It must have been recently indexed by Google. It's a primary source though.
As for the Google search page, I think it's safe to assume that "The Eclipse 82 (from Taddle Creek)" should be sufficient verification. Here are some snippets: 1, 2. Goodvac (talk) 05:59, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

If those two pages are critical it looks at OCLC 318280808 that most university libraries will have it.

Ancient Tahiti by Teuira Henry (Tahiti aux temps anciens in French)

Does anybody know where I can get the rest of Ancient Tahiti by Teuira Henry (Tahiti aux temps anciens in French)? I need the rest of this chapter in the book, which I was only able to see snippets of from google book, and also any other information on Queen Teriitaria II of Huahine (aka Ariipaea Vahine) from that book.

"Trance of Arii-Paea-Vahine"
Early in the beginning of the nineteenth century, before Christianity was embraced in Huahine, the young queen of that island, named Teri'itaria (Queen-carried) or Ari'e-paea-vahine (Wife-of-sovereign- elect) had a strange experience. One afternoon while enjoying the breezes with her maids in waiting, as they sat upon a mat spread out beneath the shade of a breadfruit tree upon the lawn of her beautiful dwelling place in the village of Fare in Huahine, the queen sank back in a stupor, lay prostrate as though asleep for a few moments, and then stopped breathing, to the great consternation of her maids and finally of all her subjects, who supposed her to be dead. In a trance she lay wrapped in scented tapa during four weeks without showing the least sign of life. Meanwhile the ceremonies for the royal dead were performed over her, which ended by bearing her in state to the great marae of Point Manunu at Maeva (p. 148), and placing her upon an altar on the marae grounds, under a roof and covered over with a net. Here she was left, in charge of the clergy, to await her final burial, which, from affection for her, was indefinitely postponed. While thus entranced Ari'i- paea-vahine was conscious of nothing around her, but her spirit roamed. She thought she was travelling over the islands in company with other spirits, visiting places familiar and unfamiliar to her, till she met a spirit lover who carried her in his bosom to his home — a beautiful place with a large house, where two sisters also dwelt with him...

Here is the Oxford English Dictionary's South-Africa specific definition of burgher:

Hope that helps. GabrielF (talk) 16:11, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Ah, thanks again GabrielF, you've found the right burgher(!) but actually it's the use of the word "citizen" here that I'm trying to penetrate, in connection with burghers: it seems anachronistic to describe 18th century burghers in the Cape Colony as citizens, since they were on "company land" belonging to the Dutch East India Company. I'm wondering if they might have been enfranchised as citizens by the company somehow, or perhaps they were contracted to the company, rather than, at an opposite extreme, perhaps merely tenants, at the company's whim. All help gratefully received! :o) Nortonius (talk) 16:29, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! :o) Nortonius (talk) 14:16, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

I skimmed the book and it looks like this was a somewhat complicated question and van der Merwe starts out using the term "free burgher" on page 1 without explicitly defining it. It looks like the free burghers lived under some stringent restrictions - the company defined what they could and couldn't grow, what prices their crops would sell for, etc. As to your specific question about land ownership, van der Merwe says on page 51:

“ The first free burghers at the Cape received in full ownership as much land as they could bring under cultivation within three years. The company fairly faithfully pursued this principle of allocating private land intended for agriculture until the end of the seventeenth century. Such land was later surveyed and mapped, and the owners could lease it, sell it or bequeath it. The free burghers, however, kept livestock as well as practiced agriculture. Naturally, they could not maintain their livestock on their small individual farms, yet the government had made no provision for private grazing. In imitation of the common pasturage system, so familiar in Europe and also in vogue in certain parts of Holland, it was declared that the colonists could use the "entire country" as grazing land. ”

I've uploaded the first 60 pages of the book here. Note that its 100MB. That should give you a much better sense of the chronology and the specific rights of the burghers. There's a lot of stuff, especially in the first 12 or so pages, about the company trying to prevent burghers from doing anything other than agriculture and about the burghers really struggling to make a living under the restrictive rules. Also note that the English translation was published in the 90s but the original material is from the 30s.GabrielF (talk) 21:55, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Many websites boast about May being International Masturbation Month in which, among other activities, people are encouraged to get involved in masturbate-a-thons, various forms of self-loving, and mutual sexual play. Additionally, there are a plethora of internationally-based websites that discuss everything from female and male masturbatory techniques to the best kinds of sex toys to use during sexual self play....

History Scotland magazine

I'm looking for an article appearing in volume 2, number 2, of History Scotland, a magazine published in 2000. The particular article appears on pages 17-22, titled "Glorious victory? The Battle of Largs, 2 October 1263", authored by Derek Alexander, Tim Neighbour, and Richard Oram.

In 2005, Oram stated that the article is "the most recent detailed analysis of the [Battle of Largs]". This article would be useful to me with the various medieval Hebridean-Manx articles I'm working on.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 11:14, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

A Free Ride

This is urgent. This article is currently a Featured Article candidate. I need information from two scholarly journals from this google scholar search. The references are this and this. I need only that portion which discusses this 1915 film A Free Ride. Thanks in advance! --SupernovaExplosion ^Talk 15:01, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

I've uploaded the articles: here and here. Please let me know when you've downloaded successfully and I'll remove the links. Best of luck with your FAC. GabrielF (talk) 19:08, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Soomaspis

I would like to create a new article on Soomaspis, the only genus of the Liwiidae without an article. I hope that someone can help me to a copy/free access to: R.A. Fortey and J.N. Theron (1994). A new Ordovician arthropod, Soomaspis, and the agnostid problem. Palaeontology 37(4): 841-861.[115].
Thanks in advance! Dwergenpaartje (talk) 17:17, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

This article is available free online here. It looks like the archives for Palaeontology from 1958 to 1998 are available free online. GabrielF (talk) 19:14, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
