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.
• If you are requesting multiple sources, numbering them (1, 2, 3..) can help to keep the subsequent discussion clear.
• 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, provided it is legal for you to do so. Be sure to respect copyrights and terms of services of any online services you use. Copyrighted articles from print publications or copies obtained through online databases (e.g. JSTOR) may not be uploaded for unrestricted distribution via open websites.
• (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.

No, but these numbers did not come in. Don't know why.

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.

Lepidoptera of Greenland

I am, from time to time, working on creating lists of Lepidoptera species by country. A lot are done (for those interested, see my sandbox User:Ruigeroeland/Sandbox3 for the progress). To make a list for Greenland, I am looking for access to the following publications, especially the first one. Please note, that I only need the names of the species (including the species authority), so if this publication is not available digitally and someone would be willing to scan it, please only scan the list of species which is probably included, although I am not sure (it seems the publication includes 52 species whereof 5 butterflies):

• "The Lepidoptera of Greenland", Wolff, N.L., Meddelelser om Grønland. 159 : 11, C.A.Reitzels Forlag, Copenhagen. 1964. 74 pp plus b/w 21 plates, distribution maps to all species.

Verification of reliability

The article on Jayne Mansfield has the following content.

First marriage

In May 10, 1950, a pregnant 17-year old Jayne married 22-year old Paul Mansfield at Fort Worth, Texas. One biographer, Raymond Strait, wrote that she married Paul publicly in May 6, had an earlier "secret" marriage in January 28, and her first child was conceived after the secret marriage. Some sources cite Paul as the father of the child, while others cite it to be a result of date rape. The marriage certificate of Jayne and Paul lists their date of marriage as May 6, 1950.

Can someone verify the following part of it?

The marriage certificate of Jayne and Paul lists their date of marriage as May 6, 1950.

If the marriage certificate is true, then almost all the biographers are wrong. That's serious.

I don't have access to the certificate and have no clue of its credibility.

References

BTW, I have already posted this to help desk, village pump, and Wikiprojecr Fact and Reference Check... no success so far. Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 03:36, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

• I don't have access to archives.com. I do have access to ancestry.com, but I could not find a marriage record. Reading through ancestry's guide to Texas marriage records, it seems that statewide Texas records begin in 1966, which casts some doubt on the cited source, but it is possible that ancestry just doesn't have as much in its database as archives.com. It would be helpful if the user who found this record could produce a PDF that I could look at. Generally, wikipedia would not use a primary source document like this, even if it contradicts other sources. If this is just a textual record, rather than a scan of a document (as is very likely) than it is very possible that there was a typographical error in typing up the document.

Well, this and this suggests that a "braille curtain" is also called an "Austrian drape" or a "Vienna curtain", after the design in the Imperial Opera House there, so used in Wagner, Mahler and many other composers' operas. LeadSongDog come howl! 19:45, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Original Source for Greenspan remark

I'm looking for the original sources of these two quotes by Alan Greenspan:

• "If you understood what I said, I must have misspoke", businessweek source
• "If I made myself clear, I have misspoken.", U.S.News & World Report source

Smallman12q (talk) 23:13, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

• • Seen quoted here and here dated 22 Feb 2005, citing "from the archives" without saying which archives. LeadSongDog come howl! 22:38, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

I found an article from 1995, which states "Its chairman, Alan Greenspan, is notorious for his ability to speak at length without saying anything intelligible. He even jokes at congressional hearings about his opacity, saying, in effect, 'If you understood me, I must have misspoken .' " I've also found it quoted by yahoo, washington post, financial express. I'd still like to get the original sources...they're excellent quotes=P.Smallman12q (talk) 01:27, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

The fact that the St. Petersburg Times article says that Greenspan said "in effect, 'If you understand me, I must have misspoken.'" leads me to believe that Greenspan never actually said those words and that someone later misinterpreted the article and thought it was a direct quote. FWIW I searched LexisNexis and the Congressional Record for anything containing Greenspan and "misspoke" or "misspoken" and that was the first reference that St. Petersburg Times article was the earliest reference that came up. GabrielF (talk) 02:04, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

I've done a bit more digging. Numerous sources indicate that Greenspan made the following statement: "I guess I should warn you if I turn out to be particularly clear, you've probably misunderstood what I said." in 1988 during a speech to the Economic Club of New York. The NPR show Marketplace played an audio clip of Greenspan saying those words on January 30 2006 You can listen by following this link and clicking on "Saying goodbye to Greenspan" [17] There is a document of a June 14 1988 speech to the Economic Club on the St. Louis Fed's website [18]. It doesn't contain the quote - I'm guessing that it wasn't part of his prepared remarks, just something that he said to warm up the audience. GabrielF (talk) 03:16, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. I've also looked at wikiquote:Alan_Greenspan#Misattributed so it may be that the others are misattributed. This document references the quote to "Eggins, Suzanne, and Diana Slade. Analyzing Casual Conversation. London: Cassell, 1997."

A 2005 NYT article mentions "I guess I should warn you, if I turn out to be particularly clear, you've probably misunderstood what I said." It's nice that you found the sound clip, as it means he actually said it. An original source would still be best.

Wikiquote also mentions "Since becoming a central banker, I have learned to mumble with great incoherence. If I seem unduly clear to you, you must have misunderstood what I said." If the original source for that could be found for that, that'd be great. Smallman12q (talk) 13:11, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

I would be very grateful if someone could get hold of a hard-copy of the book, scan the pictures and upload them to wikipedia. Regards, Huldra (talk) 22:06, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

I've uploaded a copy of the book from Google here [37]. (11MB). This PDF does have images but the quality may not good enough for Wikipedia's purposes. GabrielF (talk) 22:44, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

Goldman Sachs Economics Paper No. 93

Well, there's listings for that serial under OCLC 649101471, OCLC 42858675, and OCLC 723630865 with slight variations in the cataloguing data. One of those might be near you. The specific article is under OCLC 249539554, which is only shown as held in Kiel, Germany, but the whole series is available at one of the other libraries, e.g. NY Public Library. Don't expect to be able to take it out though, it'll be just for use in the library. LeadSongDog come howl! 20:55, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

William Howard Taft: An Intimate History by Judith Icke Anderson

Does anyone know where I can get a free online copy of this book? Thank you. Futurist110 (talk) 08:03, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

The book's description contains a note that it was based on the author's doctoral thesis at UCLA. I've uploaded the thesis here. Since the book was published in 1981 and is still in copyright I don't think there's a way to get a free copy online. However, if there are particular chapters or pages that you need it shouldn't be too difficult to get scans. GabrielF (talk) 15:31, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

How long will this book's copyright last? Futurist110 (talk) 00:29, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Also, I just clicked on your link. It appears that the contents of this whole book are there. I have a question--is it legal for me to download her thesis, as long as it is for personal use only? Also, are there any differences between her thesis and this book? Thank you. Futurist110 (talk) 02:51, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

The book's copyright will last 70 years after the death of the author - probably well beyond our lifetimes. Yes, I know that's ridiculous. I would imagine that there are significant differences between the thesis and the book - she finished the thesis in 1973 and published her book in 1981. I have no idea what those differences are. Your question about the legality of downloading her thesis is a somewhat tricky point and, as I'm not a lawyer, I really don't know precisely. The thesis is in an academic database (ProQuest Theses & Dissertations). My institution pays a subscription to access this database, so it is perfectly legal for me to download the thesis. The point where things get a little tricky is whether I can share it with you. ProQuest's Terms and Conditions of use state the following:

You and your Authorized Users may provide to a third party colleague minimal, insubstantial amounts of materials retrieved from the Products for personal use or scholarly, educational or scientific research use in hard copy or electronically, provided that in no case any such sharing is done in a manner or magnitude as to act as a replacement for the recipient's or recipient institution's own subscription to either the Products or the purchase of the underlying Work.

I believe that by sharing a small number of articles to users who are engaged in scholarly and educational work (namely writing and editing an encyclopedia) and who do not otherwise have access to these databases, I am not abusing these terms and conditions. I don't believe you can purchase this thesis, so the last clause wouldn't apply here, but you can see why scanning a few pages or a chapter would be less problematic than scanning a whole book. GabrielF (talk) 04:03, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Thank you very much, Gabriel. I will download this thesis since it appears to be okay for me to do so. I will also look over this thesis (or at least parts of it) and see if there is anything in it that I could use anywhere on Wikipedia. Forgive me for asking, but I'm just curious--what institution are you attending right now? Again, thank you very much for downloading this thesis and posting it here.

Immigration to Israel (1957) by Moshe Sicron

I think I want the sections of this book:

that give the exact aliyah numbers for Jews from various countries before 1948.

Samoan Parliament

Template:Samoan elections has a gap of 75 years, and I want to complete it. It seems to be that there is one book conataining the neceassary data

• Leota L. I. Ale: Samoan Fono a Faipule (Legislature), 1873-1993: Composition and Changes in a Hundred-and-Twenty Years. Apia 1995

This book is a PhD thesis, thus making it hardly avaiable, WorldCat does not show us any library having that book, but it can be found at the University of Auckland, were the thesis was written[43], maybe also in other libaries in Australasia. It is enough if I have only the years the elections took place. Lists of MPs or statistical data is optional.--Antemister (talk) 08:25, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Did you try to use The Statesman's Yearbook?--Shrike (talk)/WP:RX 09:28, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Yes, of course, but there is little information about that native parliament in those old issues.--Antemister (talk) 11:34, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

I've uploaded an article: "Political Development in Western Samoa" from 1948 that you might find useful. It doesn't seem to me that the Samoan Fono a Faipule was much of a legislature so much as an advisory body. Elections in this era also seemed to be very limited in terms of who can vote. I don't know what your standards are for deciding what constitutes an election.GabrielF (talk) 22:48, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

I already knew about that article, I know as well that the Fono was only an advisory body. A request to a German national living in Samoa answered most of the question: There were no western-style election there, but rather discussions among the matai to choose representative. Do not really need that book for the elections project.--Antemister (talk) 19:00, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

Nadar Hermaphrodite book

[Moving this over from the talk page to make it easier for me to keep track of. GabrielF (talk) 18:31, 14 August 2012 (UTC)] Is there something, like the RX, for requesting book sources, perhaps scans or another editor to use the work to expand an article? I'm considering bringing Hermaphrodite (Nadar) (caution, NSFW) to FA class, and there is a book from Creaphis which looks to be useful. However, ordering it where I live would set me back close to 60 dollars (which is, quite frankly, not something I'll spend) and libraries here would most certainly not hold it. It's held in several libraries, like Stanford, but that's way out of my reach. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 04:26, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

This garden or gardens are mentioned in several Wikipedia articles, including Jamaica and George Samuel Jenman, and Google gives several results, but the problem is that there are variations on the name, sometimes two in the same article. So, which of the following six variations is the actual name of the garden?

• Castleton Garden
• Castleton Gardens
• Castleton Botanic Garden
• Castleton Botanic Gardens
• Castleton Botanical Garden
• Castleton Botanical Gardens

Once I have the formal name, I can make it consistent within English Wikipedia. --DThomsen8 (talk) 18:09, 21 August 2012 (UTC)

Whole medical systems

I'm trying to find the context of the use of "whole medical systems" in this article: [48]. Can someone provide a few sentences around it so I can see the usage (fair use amount)? IRWolfie- (talk) 20:05, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

The medical system forms an indissoluble and hierarchical whole in which healing acts are closely linked with ideas about disease causation and models for classifying disease. The whole is oriented toward the problem of effectively dealing with illness. From this viewpoint, healing is not the outcome of diagnostic acts, but the healing function is active from the outset in the way illness is perceived and the experience of illness organized.

--Shrike (talk)/WP:RX 08:29, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

is there any part where they use the specific phrase "whole medical system". IRWolfie- (talk) 10:07, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

Yes in footnote."Alland (1970) attempts to compare whole medical systems in his evolutionary framework. General comparisons of Asian, African and Western medical systems are found in: Robin Horton, 'African Traditional Thought and Western Science. I', Africa, Vol. 37.(1967), No. 1, p. 50; Pierre Huard, 'Western Medicine and Afro-Asian Ethnic Medicine', in F. N. L.

I think you should ask this question in WP:RD/E --Shrike (talk)/WP:RX 16:43, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Appreciate the quick reply, there is a dilemma though the few sources for such a "list" online are in discussion forums and they contradict each other or are incomplete (a certain team has none on one list and 2 or 3 on another!?!) so although group knowledge or anecdotal experiences may help, the big question remains does WB/Scranton only get blacked out for Eagles or also for Steelers and that editor says Jets too . . . its not really a consensus thing since tens of millions of dollars are riding on it and the League office (NFL) does enforce them completely along with the networks. An official list is really the only thing that matters with a question like this since the 100 or so satellite cities/micrometros on RD/E could be or couldn't be and there are league subparts to the rule (i.e. flex scheduling) that can make it appear that Scranton is Steelers when it is simply the Eagles play later in the day and it's only "territory" claim is solely Eagles. Or is it Jets and Eagles? Personal experience and anecdotal is what is available on Google and is leading to increased confusion. To be open on this I did post the question there but again without it in black and white officially and completely can be tons of confusion. Marketdiamond (talk) 17:02, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Maryana Marrash - Bint fikr (1893)

Hello everyone! I'm looking for this book: link 1, link 2. This book by Maryana Marrash was published during her lifetime, and the reference page from Googlebooks says her name is "Maryana bin Fath Allah bin Nasrallah bin Butrus Marrash", but I would like to see the real title page to make sure, or someone to confirm that, if possible, for I don't have access to either link, perhaps because I don't live in the US. Only seven or eight sources from Googlebooks from the 1990s and 2000s mention that name "Butrus" (which would be that of her great-grandfather, according to the rules of the traditional Arabic name). The problem is that she had a relative called Butrus, "son of Nasrallah", mentioned in the article, who might have been an uncle (since his father was Nasrallah), or—and only this source could make that hypothesis more plausible—her great-grandfather.

A JSTOR one

Resolved

JSTOR 1878971 please? I'm hoping to use it to round up the bio of Jozo Tomasevich. The obit I cited for most of the bio was very enthusiastically praising just about everything Tomasevich did, so I am a bit suspicious about. Hopefully this multi-book review puts his work in perspective. It's also written by a National Humanities Medal recipient. Tijfo098 (talk) 13:27, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

Email me and I'll send it back to you as an attachment, Special:EmailUser/Ryan Vesey. Ryan Vesey 16:03, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

In case there is a snafu with e-mail, let me know. I have uploaded the file, and can post a link on your talk page. Also, obits are always non-neutral by social convention. Churn and change (talk) 17:00, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

JSTOR paper

JSTOR 3614249 I want to check whether it contains something usable for the article Wieferich prime. -- Toshio Yamaguchi (tlk−ctb) 15:45, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

Email me and I'll send you the PDF in an attachment as a response. Special:EmailUser/Ryan Vesey. Ryan Vesey 16:02, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

If there is a snafu with e-mail, let me know. I have uploaded the file, and can post a link on your talk page. To answer your implied question, yes, it says 1093 and 3511 are the only Wieferich primes less than a million. There is a proof for 3511 but that is not useable here; pure primary source. Churn and change (talk) 17:09, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, got it. I don't exactly understand what you mean regarding the usability of the proof. I think it is desirable to use peer-reviewed papers published in scientific journals as sources, such as this one. The fact I mentioned from the paper in Wieferich prime#History and search status is that Guy published a second proof of 3511 being a Wieferich prime. If you think there is a problem with that, please let me know on my talk page or (perhaps better) at Talk:Wieferich prime. -- Toshio Yamaguchi (tlk−ctb) 13:13, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

Please take the discussion to WP:RSN. Churn and change (talk) 15:22, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

What link did you send? Ryan Vesey 15:36, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

Typically I upload the file to a Google docs folder and mark it accessible to those who have the link (a dropbox folder or any site would do). I then post the link on the user's talk page. The moment I receive a "done" response, I take the file off the web. Not everyone may want to use email. Churn and change (talk) 15:55, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

Yes, it is solved! Google Docs is an excellent way to share! I have 100+ GB space in Google Docs (I have used only a fraction of it), so never delete anything there (I have not stored your file's copy), so Google Docs is the best choice for me! Very helpful! --Tito Dutta (talk) 05:39, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Amazing speed! However, the article seems to be strangely truncated on the sides which makes it a bit difficult to read. It may be the original is like that but could you try taking a look and seeing if there was some problem when getting it from the source? Thanks a lot!!--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 20:30, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

The problem is with the original scanned version at Brill Online Journals. I don't see any other scanned version online with my institutional subscription. You can either wait for somebody to manually scan a paper copy, or just fill in the missing letters at the edges (I think that can be done). Churn and change (talk) 21:19, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

I can get a new scan within a week or so. GabrielF (talk) 21:24, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

Great, thank you, no rush. I will try to use the truncated version meanwhile as I may be able to put in the missing text with a bit of imagination. Thank you all for your help!--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 06:18, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Oh, it reads great, but I am afraid it is a different article (the title is similar, hence the confusion I suppose)...--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 20:45, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

Farris Heavenly Warriors

The resource exchange was very helpful on a previous request, that helped a lot for writing this article. I now started to write about another rebellion and would need everything (ca. 10 pages) on the Fujiwara no Nakamaro Rebellion from this book. Google books does not show much, but I believe the relevant pages would start on page 69 and go at least to page 75, but the index also mentions page 108. Likely there will be footnotes in the text, so a scan of the relevant footnotes would be helpful as well. Thank you. bamse (talk) 22:12, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

The Archaeology of Syria

If anyone has access to this resource and is willing to share it, I'd be forever grateful. The book is probably the most detailed study on Syrian archaeology, and would go a great deal in helping to populate articles on the subject.

• The Archaeology of Syria - From Complex Hunter-Gatherers to Early Urban Society, ca. 16,000-300 BC, Akkermans, P.M.M.G.;Schwartz, G.M. (2003), Cambridge University Press (Link)
