Finding a source

Tips for finding a source yourself
Main page: WP:Find your source
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 handle full book scans
  • 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.

New Classical Architecture

An important point in this entry is the difference between New Classical and Neo-Classical, which is not made very clearly. I'm interested in reading the article that is sourced with this footnote and described as An important clarion call was that of Demetri Porphyrios, "Classicism is not a Style," in "Architectural Design" vol. 52, no. 5/6, 1982, and reprinted various places. As far as I know that article is not available online. Thanks. --Bangabandhu (talk) 05:50, 2 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know how to access the article from the OCLC link - or what is meant by the requested wikimail? Is that just a note on the talk page? Thanks. Bangabandhu (talk) 17:21, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Bangabandhu: I don't think the OCLC link above was intended as a response to you, but simply as additional information for volunteers trying to fill your request. Clicking on the number takes one to Worldcat. If one then enters one's location and clicks "Find libraries" it will list libraries that hold the book. Doc Taxon asked on 2 March for you to send an email, which you would have done using Special:EmailUser. They marked the request done the following week, implying that they replied with the article to whatever email address you have set up in preferences > user profile. Double check your email and spam folder for that account on 9 March. Worldbruce (talk) 18:04, 5 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Australian metrication

I am seeing a useful snippet [2] on page 130 of Metrication, the Australian Experience: Proceedings of the North American-Australian Metric Conference that would help improve Australian standard pallet. The complete paper would be good, but if not, just the full citation so I can cite the snippet properly. --SpinningSpark 22:46, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Spinningspark: Here is a link to a list of libraries that have copies of the proceedings.
From the table of contents, p 27 is the start to "Metric Conversion and Standardisation by Mr W l Stewart" -- perhaps the appropriate article? That seems confirmed by a citation "
Stewart, W. I., (1975), Metric Conversion and Standardisation, , Proceedings of the North American - Australian Metric Conference - "Metrication : The Australian Experience"., pp. 27 - 33." in Dr Lloyd J Pilgrim (1999) Metrication: A job to complete?, Australian Surveyor, 44:1, 11-19, DOI: 10.1080/00050326.1999.10441898 To link to this article: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00050326.1999.10441898.

Your Computer (homecomputer magazine 80s)

Hi, I need to check a review published in the UK computer magazine Your Computer from november 1983 for the Spectravideo SV-318 homecomputer article in German Wikipedia. All other issues of that magazine are available online at archive.org but not this particular issue :o( Unfortunately I don't have page numbers. Any help where to find the mag online or a copy of the review would be highly appreciated. --Knurrikowski (talk) 08:44, 4 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Knurrikowski: No real solutions for UK computer magazine Your Computer from November 1983 Volume 3 Number 11 but a few ideas:
  • First, I'm inferring volume/number from this image of the cover from the UK centre for computing history; you could check if they have a research service available to get scans.
  • Alas, I double-checked the archive.org listings for Your Computer and agree this issue is missing; you could email Jason Scott (archive.org staffer who has a personal interest in microcomputer history) to see if they do have a copy waiting to be scanned.
  • It appears that ISSN is 0263-0885 and using the OCLC number, 465364609, you can see a list of libraries that have *some* holdings of this magazine.
  • The British Library runs an on-demand service and that would be a pretty sure way to get a copy.
  • Ulrich's claims that there are two abstracting & indexing services: Construction Research and Innovation (Active) (Print) and Guidelines (Ceased) (Print). That sounds suspicious to me and these are both in print, so I think getting the page number without a copy in front of you or an author's name is going to be difficult.
  • I'd suggest posting at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games and possibly reaching out to folks at the World of Spectrum site.
Good luck & I hope you get ahold of it! Jodi.a.schneider (talk) 16:26, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! Knurrikowski (talk) 16:09, 19 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Modern source for the population of Londinium

I am looking for "Londinium and Beyond: Essays on Roman London and Its Hinterland", John Clark (ed), 2008, the chapter titled "The Population of Roman London" by Williams, T; Swain, H., to get current expert estimates for the population of Londinium. I've tried searching for the chapter itself (since the book is mostly a collection of conference papers) but without luck. --Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 17:18, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Tiptoethrutheminefield: No real answers, but some directions:
  • People can check nearby library holdings in WorldCat; this looks like a special research report of the Council for British Archaeology so I'm not surprised you can't find the chapter itself; UCL has the abstract only (no full-text) publicly available in its repository. First author Tim Williams might be willing to give a copy by email, or the population quote you are looking for; and we find the full citation formatted thus: Williams, T., Swain, H. (2008). The population of Roman London. In Clark, J., Cotton, J., Hall, J., Sherris, R., Swain, H. (Eds.), Londinium and beyond. Essays on Roman London and its hinterland for Harvey Sheldon. (pp. 33-40). York: Council for British Archaeology.
  • At King's College London, there is a module (=AmE course) on Roman London; likely you know the rest of the (older) bibliography there. But perhaps the instructor would be willing to give the figure you need...
Jodi.a.schneider (talk) 16:40, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Might try the emailing the author route you suggest. Would depend on how willing he is to respond to random communications I suppose. Here is the talk page discussion: [3]. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 16:55, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Bests and thanks in advance - LouisAragon (talk) 09:30, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@LouisAragon: Amazon's "Look inside" feature includes the 22 page index. The bulk of the book is 169 pages of lists of governors by province. "Surprise Me!" shows 80-90% of the M to Z portion of those lists. Signing in to an amazon.com account may show more. If you need scans of four or five other specific pages, I can supply them. Otherwise you'll probably need to borrow or buy the book. Worldbruce (talk) 05:10, 25 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Kent James/Nick Name

The new article Kent James is currently in a poorly referenced state and makes no strong claim of notability under either WP:NMUSIC or WP:NACTOR — so technically it's AFDable. However, there is a potential alternative to deletion here: the subject was formerly known by the pseudonym "Nick Name", under which he fronted a band called "Nick Name and the Normals" who had an independent documentary film made about them in 2004. The problem, however, is that because the band broke up over a decade ago, I'm not finding strong sourcing on Google to determine whether converting this into an article about either the band or the film is a viable alternative or not — and in terms of more specialized login databases, I only have access to ProQuest's Canadian media databases (but not to any of its American ones), newspapers.com and EBSCOhost. None of which assisted at all, so shifting the article's focus doesn't look promising at this point, but I still wanted to ask if somebody could run a check on Nick Name and the Normals in other databases (Highbeam? Other ProQuest databases that I don't have access to?) before I officially list this for AFD. Thanks. Bearcat (talk) 19:46, 27 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Global Status of Commercialized Biotech/GM Crops: 2014

Hi. I am trying to update the List of genetically modified crops article with the 2014 area planted. I have done what I can, but am missing a lot of information. I was hoping someone could provide a copy of the ISAAA Brief 49-2014 (ISBN 978-1-892456-59-1), which I think should contain all the additional info I need. Thanks in advance. @Kingofaces43 and Tryptofish: just in case. AIRcorn (talk) 05:44, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have access to the 2014 version unfortunately. Online versions seem to pop up after a few years though, but the best I can do for anything in this decade is a hard copy from our library. If you haven't seen the executive summary for the book, this might be a little bit of help. Kingofaces43 (talk) 16:03, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

inquiry from the de-WP

Dear friends from the en-WP, is this Google Book available in full view and downloadable in the United States? In Germany, this is not the case. The book was published in 1912, and the author Paul Hambruch died in 1933. Therefore the copyright has expired not only in the United States, but also in most European countries, and perhaps Worldwide. Perhaps Google overlooked this. --Ratzer (talk) 20:45, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

1912 is to late, there is rare access. Mostly antil ~1910. Tested with proxy from list in s:de:gbs#Liste aktueller Web-Anonymizer --Franz (Fg68at) de:Talk 13:40, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
But there is a (qualitative better as Google) scan at https://archive.org/details/landeskundevonsc00hamb --Franz (Fg68at) de:Talk 13:49, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Google and HathiTrust both default to a simplistic, safe-for-them approach to copyright, especially for users outside the US. The corresponding HathiTrust record doesn't have a death date for Hambruch, but they will likely be persuaded by the VIAF entry to revise their record. I've just notified them, so we'll see how long they take to respond. LeadSongDog come howl! 16:30, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
HathiTrust knows the death year of Paul Hambruch, see here.--Ratzer (talk) 10:09, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
So he may have two distinct records there, one with just the birth date and another with both. Anyhow, they've replied that the correction is in their work queue; they'll get to it eventually. VIAF and GND show a revision in his authority records just this February, but they do not reveal what that revision was. They have no diff accessible to users. It is likely just a case of needing this to percolate through the copyright administration mill. LeadSongDog come howl! 17:16, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Once I contacted HT, it took them about three months to defrost a book. trespassers william (talk) 21:27, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Bitter Dawn, used in Murder of Anni Dewani

Bitter Dawn
Author: Dan Newling
ISBN: 9781868426249
Publisher: Johnathan Ball
ASIN: B00OYTE3NS
The Murder of Anni Dewani article makes extensive use of Bitter Dawn. The author who's added the refs hasn't targeted them (i.e. no page numbers) and was involved in a vicious content dispute on the article last year (resolved in his favour). I trust him to correctly represent what the book says, but it might be best if someone else confirms that the refs support the statements. Is it possible to get access to the entire book? It has been released in eBook form.[4] Thanks, Bromley86 (talk) 19:40, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Syrett's "The Royal Navy in European Waters During the American Revolutionary War"

Does anyone have access to a copy of David Syrett's "The Royal Navy in European Waters During the American Revolutionary War"? Specifically I'm in need to discover what the "G" reference means.

@Dustuiop: Reference G is specified in the Notes (which I found searching in the Amazon preview for note G). G refers to Sir John Fortescue, ed., The Correspondence of King George the Third from 1760 to December 1783 (London, 1972).
If you still need the book itself, the OCLC number can help people look it up in WorldCat: OCLC 38024028.

Manchester Guardian and Gaskell Society newsletter

I'd like to improve Catherine Winkworth. Two sources would be useful:

"PECCAVI": A Good Story Killed, The Manchester Guardian, 14 February 1936.

and

issue 31 of the Gaskell Society newsletter. March 2001. Skrine, Peter. ‘Peccavi.’ [Catherine Winkworth; R.H. Watts. Gaskell Memorial Tower, Knutsford]. [illus.] p7-9.

Thanks. -- Carbon Caryatid (talk) 12:40, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Gaskell Society says, "If you wish to obtain a back copy of a Newsletter, or a copy of an article, please use the “Contact Us” form with your email address and we will advise on availability and cost." There is a good chance that they would supply a scan of the article free to help Wikipedia. John M Baker (talk) 22:33, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Carbon Caryatid:For the Guardian article -- This is on Page 6 (1 page), if you can find a paper archive. You can find it here in the digital archive of The Guardian (previously known as The Manchester Guardian). Based on Ulrich's info it appears to me that only the Guardian's digital archive will go back to 1936.Jodi.a.schneider (talk) 17:42, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks both! I'll approach the Gaskell Society. Does anyone have access to the Guardian's digital archive? Carbon Caryatid (talk) 17:52, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Carbon Caryatid: It's available on Proquest archiver, which I don't have access to. Hopefully someone else does. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 19:54, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Reference to Lyncoya Jackson in letters of Andrew Jackson

Hi. Could someone let us know what the source is in footnote 10 of page 69 of Adoption: A Brief Social and Cultural History by Peter Conn. Per Reference Desk request [5] by @KAVEBEAR:. Thank you. Lyncoya Jackson. --184.147.128.57 (talk) 15:49, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@KAVEBEAR: Could you clarify exactly what information you would want from this resource? I have access to it and can scan some pages for you, but when I go to the site provided by the IP, there's no footnote 10. ~ RobTalk 16:02, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oh! There is a footnote 10; I didn't have my glasses on. I'll scan the relevant pages for you later this afternoon. Could you send me an email so I can reply with the pdf? ~ RobTalk 16:03, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Evan Thomas Radcliffe : a Cardiff shipowning company

Looking for help to verify image sources. A user has uploaded a ton of images to the article Evan Thomas, Radcliffe and Company tagged as {{PD-self}} that obviously aren't PD-self. Hoping that someone can use the book Evan Thomas Radcliffe : a Cardiff shipowning company ([6]) to see if these images come from there (I have a suspicion they do). If they do, I'd like to add page numbers etc. to verify that the images are the dates and ships they say they are. Thanks! --Calliopejen1 (talk) 20:17, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Luther and his Times [print book]

I saw a citation to: Schwiebert, Luther and His Times, pp. 691 f. The exact edition is not given but they are all of 1950 [7], and I presume the words didn't move much. Anyway it's supposed to be about the devil. If you can send p.691 and a couple of succeeding pages, I'll be grateful.

@BU Rob13: you really did a remarkably generous job scanning all those pages, thank you. But... when scanning the endnotte pages you skipped to the notes to the last chapter, not the requested one. And note 54 seem like just what I wanted :(
If you got it really handy, maybe you can send note 54 for chap. 21. But if not, I'll get to it sometime. Thank you. trespassers william (talk) 23:25, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Danny lost: I never scanned the notes at all, actually; just the pages themselves, index, and TOC. I still have the book, and I'll run to my library in like 15 minutes and scan the notes for chapter 21. Could you let me know one way or the other whether you wanted any other pages based on the index/table of contents for Devil in Christianity? I'll return the book after I do this scan, so this is "final call". ~ RobTalk 23:31, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Looking for sources on nominations for award-type

I am currently working on the Tejano Music Award for Female Vocalist of the Year and have found it rather difficult to locate who was nominated for certain years (1981-1984, 1986-1994, 1997, 1999, and 2006). Currently, these sources can be found on the VHS tapes that can be rented in Texas libaries, and were once available through Google's newspaper archive project before it was shut down in 2011. Possible newspapers to have the information could be the San Antonio Express-News (where the awards are annually held) and the Corpus Christi Caller Times. Thanks, – jona ✉ 23:28, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@AJona1992: I've added a further reading section to the article with six clips from NewspaperArchive.com. They cover 1984, 1986, 1989-1991, and 1994. Some list only the three finalists, rather than the entire pool of nominees, but it's a step in the right direction. Worldbruce (talk) 02:10, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I found something for 1991-1994, 1997, 1999, and 2006. They vary in quality; most are full nominee lists but a couple might not have everyone. ~ RobTalk 15:22, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
