:@[[User:Drmies|Drmies]]: This journal seems to be available in quite a number of German libraries, although not in mine, unfortunately. I recommend you ask at [[:de:WP:BIBR/A]], the German equivalent of this site.
:Hint: there’s definitely a typo in the title: it should be ''verschollener'' (lost). Also, ''Geschichtsblätter'' should be rendered ''…blaetter'' when the Umlaut is not available.

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.

Finding a source

Tips for finding a source yourself

Note that sites like LibGen and Sci-Hub offer direct, free access to a very large range of publications, but there are legal questions around their use and neither the Wikimedia Foundation nor the Wikipedia community endorses them.

Making a request
  • A request may be an open question or you may ask for a specific journal, article or work
  • All kinds of sources are possible here: newspapers, magazine article, databases, encyclopedias, court decisions, laws, books, etc.
  • We cannot perform full book scans requests due to copyright
  • You may contact research helpers directly or make a request on this page
  • To receive email without disclosing your email address publicly, configure your email in Special:Preferences
  • Provide as much detail as possible: a full citation with author, title, publisher, and date or identifiers like DOI, ISBN ISSN, PMID, etc.
  • Once a request has been fulfilled add the {{Resolved}} template.
  • Filled requests are archived.
  • Requests unfilled after three months will be archived

Fulfilling a request

  • Anyone may offer advice and fulfill requests.
  • Indicate which part or parts of the request is being handled so others do not duplicate your work.
  • Notify (mention) the requester using {{ping|REQUESTER_USERNAME}}
  • You can point to a pre-existing electronic document by giving its URL ( http://... ). You can share scans of pages or documents using a file-sharing service, provided it is legal, or by emailing the content to the requester.
  • You can email a link or plain text to a requester using the Special:EmailUser feature but for attachments, you need to ask them to mail you first so you can reply.

Copyright tips:

  • Respect copyrights and terms of services of any online services you use.
  • Share content in a limited manner that is targeted at as few individuals as possible to achieve a specific improvement on Wikipedia. All content is shared under a presumed non-commercial, educational, fair use purpose in order to conduct research about topics on Wikipedia and/or to improve Wikipedia content.
  • Share copies privately rather than with a publicly accessible link whenever possible. Copyrighted articles from print publications or copies obtained through online databases should not be uploaded for unrestricted distribution via open websites. Preferably, do not share login access codes for entire websites; rather, share only an individual copy of a resource.
  • Remember that you take on the individual risk when sharing content, and act in a way that is comfortable and safe for you. Individual editors are solely responsible for sharing copyrighted content and assume all legal risks.

'Pioneer of the Dutch Film Poster: Dolly Rudeman 1902-1980' by Paul van Yperen

A link is here. I'm working on an English article for Dolly Rudman (it's here, in a very embryonic state! -which also demonstrates the paucity of sources in English general.) There's an article on the nl.wiki, but the machine translation is v poor. Any help appreciated :) --O Fortuna!...Imperatrix mundi. 17:41, 15 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi: What part of this book do you need? Note that we can't handle full book scans. We could send you a table of contents and allow you to choose where to go from there. ~ Rob13Talk 19:32, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, thanks very much BU Rob13, got that- well. I don't really know; since it's something I have zero-knowledge on, I was thinking just a few pages covering relevant periods- early years, major works, later years. Something like that. Se, the article is never going to be much more than start class (by me anyway!) but it would be good to flesh it out a bit. How easy is it for you/s? O Fortuna!...Imperatrix mundi. 19:35, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi: This book appears to be exceedingly rare. See WorldCat. The only two copies in the United States are in a university in New York (where it's part of a special collection - unlikely to be eligible for interlibrary loan) and a research institute in Los Angeles (unlikely to engage in interlibrary loan at all). I happen to be likely to travel close to one of those areas in the somewhat near future, so I'll see what I can do. This one will likely take a while, though. It could be as far away as summer before I manage it. ~ Rob13Talk 19:41, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much BU Rob13, that's very kind- but please don't bother. If it's as rare as that- WP:RSN probably? In any case, no point in going to that much trouble for something like this. Does Drmies do translations I wonder ;) *scratch chin* O Fortuna!...ImpFortuna Imperatrix Mundieratrix mundi. 19:56, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Not right now, but remind me tomorrow or this weekend. Drmies (talk) 22:57, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi: Its definitely a reliable source. The reason it's so rare is that it was produced only to accompany one specific exhibition as a sort of extended program in a sense, from what I can tell. When the exhibition was finished, most copies were probably lost or destroyed. It doesn't appear it was ever publicly made available, so libraries didn't have a chance to grab it unless donated (as in the case of Binghamton). Certainly an interesting history attached to this item. ~ Rob13Talk 01:32, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
A couple of libraries in Chicago have the Dutch version. The entire book's only 71 pages including illustration, so maybe the biography section is a manageable length for copying/translation. BlackcurrantTea (talk) 02:35, 18 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oops, forgot the Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi part. BlackcurrantTea (talk) 03:48, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@BlackcurrantTea: thanks very much for the information. That errainly sounds more manageable than I expected- but it could still be a helluva translation project! Which I wouldn't expect anyone to undertake; the .nl article is one thing- <250 words- but that could be something else :o Thanks again though! O Fortuna!...Imperatrix mundi. 14:03, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It's the weekend- is Drmies still around...?  ;) — O Fortuna! Imperatrix mundi. 17:24, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Great stuff! Thanks very much Drmies, I'll have a go at that then. Much appreciated. — O Fortuna! Imperatrix mundi. 18:08, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Absolutely. I may get back to this later today--translating/paraphrasing that bit from that book is no big chore, and I'm going to leave the cleanup to you. :) Drmies (talk) 18:12, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Noting for the record that this is still being looked into. Please do not archive. ~ Rob13Talk 21:57, 23 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Currently working on this. ~ Rob13Talk 23:15, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi: Sadly, not going to be able to do this one after all. The university I thought I could get access at holds this in their rare books section which has all sorts of restrictions on scanning texts. Sorry! ~ Rob13Talk 05:26, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@BU Rob13: No problem. Thanks for trying- and more to the point, not forgetting! (unlike me). That's a common stumbling block of course, and one I'm somewhat surprised you don't encounter more often with all the esoterica you get asked for here  :) Take care, and thanks again. (Pinging Drmies (for the second time today, apologies) for 'closure' on this). — O Fortuna semper crescis, aut decrescis 11:08, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
User:Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi, I've asked a Dutch connection. Drmies (talk) 20:55, 13 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the late reply, I was touring. In the above link, it says the copy was originally from "the University of Virginia". Since I am unwilling to go so far, is it accessible for anyone here? --Kailash29792 (talk) 11:41, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Two Russian books

  1. Antonov, V. V.; Kobak, Aleksandr B. (2003). Святыни Санкт-Петербурга: христианская историко-церковная энциклопедия (in Russian). Liki Rossii. p. 380. В здании находился штаб ПВО, а после войны - мастерская декораций театра музыкальной комедии.
  2. Многонациональный Петербург: история, религии, народы (in Russian). Iskusstvo–SPB. 2002. p. 232. ISBN 9785210015495. Екатерины служила мастерской, где создавались декорации для Театра музыкальной комедии. Лишь в августе 1992 г. церковь была возвращена армянской общине, а в марте 1993 г. состоялось первое богослужение...

Both were digitized by the University of Michigan. So if anyone has access, please send me those pages. Thanks. --Երևանցի talk 09:05, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Országos Széchenyi Könyvtár has a record for what may be an earlier edition of the first book, from 1994-1996, three volumes. (Note that library entries in Hungary use ISO 9 transcription for Russian language titles and names.)
Svâtyni Sankt-Peterburga : istoriko-cerkovnaâ ènciklopediâ v treh tomah / V. V. Antonov, A. V. Kobak
Sadly the book is not available for reading. The number of pages in the three volumes are 287, 324, 390. Do you know the volume number and page number to copy from that? If so, ping me (because I might not be watching this page) and I'll ask them if they can photocopy it. – b_jonas 14:38, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I can get a circulating copy of the book, which is likely easier, so  Doing... ~ Rob13Talk 18:27, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Article from the journal カナノヒカリ

I'm interested in the article マライゴカナガキ~アン, which was published in the journal カナノヒカリ in 1943 (issue No 264) (information will be used for the expanding an article about Malay language).--صلاح الأوكراني (talk) 21:52, 2 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Old article from Pakistan's The News International

  • I'm looking to verify the following reference:Martial laws badly affected literary activities. The News International. 14 April 2002. It's been used extensively in an article which has had multiple problems with its sourcing, including making misleading use of sources: the page Ehsan Sehgal.

--Landscape repton (talk) 09:19, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Also: Khan, Mushtaq A. (9 October 1995). "Readers Enchanted by Ehsan Sehgal's The flight of imagination". Times of Karachi. Landscape repton (talk) 09:47, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Times of Karachi was a short-lived English language paper and there are enough notable English papers who certainly will write something whenever something notable thing happens. Times of Karachi is unreliable due to its notability and can't be a credible source. Thanks, Greenbörg (talk) 11:22, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Without expressing an opinion on the reliability of Times of Karachi, see [2]. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:41, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dallas Morning News articles

Dallas Public Library customers have free access to the Dallas Morning News archive here. Articles: Cavalry Group Officers to be Sworn in Tuesday, 11 March 1947 Reservists Head for Camps, Ships, 6 June 1948 Reserve Roster Filled By 10,000 Hereabouts, 15 June 1947 War Veteran Asks Election to Congress, 23 May 1948
300th Armored Cavalry Regiment --Kges1901 (talk) 09:09, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Attention Wikipedians in Dallas: (BaronNishiMahlawatMbrstoogeSwisterTwister) Can any of you Texans help a fellow editor by emailing him these four newspaper articles to improve 300th Armored Cavalry Regiment? If you have a public library card you should be able to access them free through here. --Worldbruce (talk) 16:29, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Kges1901: Do you have page numbers/authors for these? ~ Rob13Talk 18:28, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@BU Rob13: No, but snippets of the clippings can be found when searching "300th Cavalry Group" here. Kges1901 (talk) 19:35, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. Without page numbers, I can't ask for these as scan and deliver via interlibrary loan, unfortunately. A search will need to be done on microfilm (if we can obtain microfilm). I'll try that via interlibrary loan, but chances of success are probably on the low side. ~ Rob13Talk 20:40, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

I'm in need of the following articles, which are not to obtain from German libraries:

  • Diesel Balaam: Two Cheers for the Anti-Gay Gay Movement. In: Gay and Lesbian Humanist, Vol. 16, No. 2, Winter 1996/7, pages 9-13, ISSN 0953-8763
Note: Gay and Lesbian Humanist archive is not accessible, with HTML error code 403. The printed edition is on stock at the British Library, for example. Unfortunately, I have lost my library card. In 1992, or so. And I'm not prepared to visit European non-EU countries. Can't wait till Theresa has thought it over ...
  • Capital Gay, July 5th, 1985, pages 9 and 11, and the surrounding pages, if they deal with the striking miners' presence at London Pride in 1985, OCLC 952386189 (Online, with Gale Cengage access) and OCLC 724040251 (print).
Note: a few German libraries keep this magazine, but not the number in question. I have seen that Bishopsgate Library has it.
  • Anonymous (?): Queer ICONS: Capital Gay. In: The Pink Paper, 12th July, 1996, issue 438, page 43, OCLC 786453370 for an electronic version (sorry, I couldn't get access through my library account), and printed volumes with OCLC 499864256 and OCLC 30618725. OCLC 724026813 lists the German National Library only, but they don't have the number in question. For the print version: ISSN 1472-3662.
Note: just got a message from my library, not available in Germany. But the next request is free ...

General note: Thank you for your efforts. And feel free to visit your German partner page. I take part in the resource exchange there, and would be pleased in helping foreign authors looking for something not available in their home country. Have a nice day, --Cimbail (talk) 13:26, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Cimbail: Email me for the first source. For the third one, I'm having difficulty even finding information on "The Pink Paper". Do you have an OCLC or ISSN number for it? Alternatively, any webpage with additional information? ~ Rob13Talk 09:55, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Rob13: - Thank you for caring. I have added OCLC numbers and an ISSN number above. Here in Germany we have a well-doing journal catalogue, and I usually don't care about OCLC numbers. Sorry, I will post complete requests in the future. Mail is out within minutes. --Cimbail (talk) 10:35, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
No worries, Cimbail. I don't usually need an OCLC number to find something, but a title as generic as "The Pink Paper" has apparently been used many times before. I was finding loads of results, but not the right one. Looking now. ~ Rob13Talk 10:53, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
 Doing... Third one via interlibrary loan. Fairly confident I can get that one. The second one is available at the New York Public Library in their Manuscripts department, but it may be difficult to get an actual copy. They certainly wouldn't allow photocopying in the traditional sense. ~ Rob13Talk 11:03, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
First paper received, thank you, --Cimbail (talk) 11:43, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@BU Rob13:, had a look into the ToC, actually it seems that this book is more (or less...) a book on the topic of parliamentary governemnt with special reference to Guatemala than the Guatemalian parliament itself (a problem I encountered not the first time while doing research on that topic. It seems that only page 51-59 deal with the history the Guatemalian parliament, and actually the bibliography turns out to be much more useful here, as it includes several title that could be interesting and are easily available. As you seem to be able to read spanish, could you have a look at the pages mentioned, if they contain years or references?--Antemister (talk) 16:14, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The East Anglia BGS Regional Geology Guide

Experts are divided on the dating of the Red Crag Formation, and I have corresponded about it by email with an expert. He approved the wording "The East Anglia BGS Regional Geology Guide, published in January 2016, dates the Red Crag to 3.1 to 2.5 million years ago, but the start and end are poorly defined due to the general paucity of age-diagnostic stratigraphic indicators and the fragmentary nature of the geology." This is unreferenced as he did not want his name used (and email correspondence is presumably not an RS anyway). I do not have access to the The East Anglia BGS Regional Geology Guide, and I should be grateful if someone who does could check whether it supports the above wording, and supply a page number. The book is shown here but the 2016 edition does not appear to be on Worldcat. --Dudley Miles (talk) 20:58, 25 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This appears to be an official publication which has an invalid isbn and is not listed by the British Library and Worldcat. I have emailed the British Library about it. Dudley Miles (talk) 12:44, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Dudley Miles: The WorldCat entry is here under a slightly different name. ~ Rob13Talk 14:53, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks very much. I have emailed the British Library with this information. According to Worldcat my best hope is Hertfordshire inter-library loan! Dudley Miles (talk) 15:20, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You'd prefer to get it from a bloke in America? ;) — fortunavelut luna 15:28, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Inter-library loan would probably take ages to come through, but you are right. I should try it. It is the first book I have ever found which does not appear to be available in the British Library. Dudley Miles (talk) 15:46, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that's really wierd, esp since the Scot nat Library would appear to have it. Do you have access to BL? — fortunavelut luna 15:59, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Dudley Miles: Well, here's a .pdf of a review of the work, so at least gives full titles etc. Note the difference with world Cat- closer to your original one, it seems. — fortunavelut luna 16:23, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Dudley Miles and Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi: The only reason for the WorldCat discrepancy is because they regarded "British Regional Geology" as the series name, and so it's in amongst publisher information, etc. instead of in the title. ~ Rob13Talk 16:40, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
And I did not track it down because there was a typo in the isbn in the details of the copy I found. Thanks to @BU Rob13 and Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi: for your help. Yes I do have access to BL. Anyone can get a reader's card, but of course you have to live in or visit London to take advantage. I am also a member of the London Library, which is expensive but brilliant, although not for science. They will post out books on loan, but not outside Europe. Dudley Miles (talk) 17:35, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nice one Dudley Miles, was just checking as I will be at BL on Thurs- might have been quicker than Wiltshire :) take care! — fortunavelut luna 17:44, 27 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

New York Times lookup

This article John Serry Sr. has a lot of off-line references to the New York Times. I am wondering if these are reviews or upcoming event listings. I would appreciate any help to link these online, or in finding out if they are advertisements or legitimate journalistic work. I don't have a subscription to use the search, or a title to use a Google search. --—Anne Delong (talk) 19:12, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Anne Delong: The two NYT citations from the 1930s are advertisements that identify an orchestra, leader, and venue, but don't mention Serry. Searching for "John Serry" returns only one NYT news story (as opposed to display ad) that is cited in the article: "Diseuse in Debut Here", 1 March 1942, p. 36. It makes a passing mention of Serry: "Assisted by Lou Cooper, pianist, and John Serry, accordionist, ..." Email me if you would like a copy. Let me know how far you would like to pursue citations to pages that don't mention Serry or advertisements that do mention him. --Worldbruce (talk) 20:05, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Worldbruce. I think that the ads should be removed, especially ones that don't mention the subject. I've put a note about that on the talk page and I'll wait a few days to see if anyone objects.—Anne Delong (talk) 21:05, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Ms. Delong - Thank you in advance for your thoughtful analysis. The references in question (i.e. to the New York Times) might actually serve a useful purpose for prospective researchers of the future. Consequently I would advise against removing these references without first considering the following analysis. While there can be no doubt that the presence of an "advertisement" does not unequivocally substantiate the occurrence of a historical event in the same manner that a reference from a newspaper article, it is equally clear that its presence in an authoritative source such as the The New York Times does serve to increase the probability of a correct citation for the subject matter described in the article. It would seem highly unlikely that noted professional musicians and the promoters at professional concert venues such as Radio City, the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel or the Plaza Hotel in New York City would allocate substantial time and resources in order to advertise concert performances on specific dates and times in an authoritative source such as The New York Times in a fictitious manner, while actually scheduling another performance on exactly the same date and time at another concert venue, or perhaps even more improbably --failing to schedule a concert performance at all. In addition, the administrators of such noted professional schools of the era (such as the Biviano Accordion Center) could hardly be expected to advertise their course offerings and the noted musicians on their faculty for purely frivolous reasons. In addition, while these references may not actually cite the name of each of the artists performing within the orchestral ensembles cited in the article, they do serve to substantiate and document the existence of the musical ensembles in question during the time period referenced within the article. In addition, one could hardly expect an advertisement to provide a compete listing of the members of an entire orchestral ensemble during this period of time (1930's - 1940s) i.e. before the advent of the Web. In so far as these references serve to document and substantiate the existence of the orchestral ensembles cited within the article, they provide a useful function by providing credible documentation for the contextual framework of the article itself. In the "ideal world" such citations would provide the specific names of the artists and perhaps even a critical review of the performance itself. One should keep in mind, however, that during while World War II raged in the late 1930s and 1940s, resources

were scare and the allocation of space within periodicals was limited. Consequently, as researchers we must be grateful for the citations and references which we are able to salvage under such unique circumstances. With these observations in mind, I would encourage you to refrain from deleting such useful reference citations in the days ahead.

Re-entering request for chapter of book

I ordered a cheap copy of "The Italians" by C. J. Shane on Abebooks, and closed my previous request. Then I was notified that my order had been cancelled, and when I went back to Abebooks, suddenly the price of all the copies of that particular book had gone up. My life doesn't depend on writing this article, and I refuse to spend more than $10 on an old book.
