Book reviews of works by Akemi Kikumura Yano

To see if I can start an article about Encyclopedia of Japanese descendants in the Americas; an illustrated history of the Nikkei

From http://www.discovernikkei.org/en/journal/series/encyclopedia/ I found the book being reviewed here is also published in Japanese as:

  • 『アメリカ大陸日系人百科事典―写真と絵で見る日系人の歴史』 (明石書店, 2002). - I'll see if there are more book reviews of it

For: New Worlds, New Lives: Globalization and People of Japanese Descent in the Americas and from Latin America in Japan

The review of The Japanese in Latin America by Evelyn Hu-Dehart mentioned both of these books as being produced by International Nikkei Research Project with James and Lane Hirabayashi and Akemi Kikumura-Yano, all anthropologists, leading the efforts. Hu-Dehart stated that the Japanese American National Museum "spearheaded" the project.

Times Literary Supplement article: How the Light Came In by Jonathan Israel

  • Israel, Jonathan (21 June 2013). "How the light came in". Times Literary Supplement. (Article location: Link)

I'm trying to obtain a copy of an article in the Times Literary Supplement archives, but I do not have access to their database. The article is How the Light Came In by Jonathan Israel, published on June 21, 2013. It was a review article for the book THE ENLIGHTENMENT And why it still matters by Anthony Pagden.

Weik article and Florida Bicentennial Trail

I have been working on a couple of articles over in the Geography section, and I have encountered a couple of sources that I would like to use, but I do not have access to.

1.) I found that the article "The Role of Ethnogenesis and Organization in the Development of African-American Settlements: an African Seminole Model" by Dr. Terrance M. Weik, which was published in the International Journal of Historical Archaelogy June 2009 edition (Vol. 13, No. 2), contained information about the area that I have been editing. I registered with JSTOR's Register & Read program, but the article is not accessible with my type of account. I am an alumna of a college, but I am not a member of the alumni association.

2.) I came across a few excerpts from the Tampa Tribune article "Sumpter Countians Ambush State on Bicentennial Trail" (published February 16, 1976) on the SeminoleWar blog. I would like to access the article. (Note: Sumpter also could be spelled "Sumter" in the article's title as "Sumter" is the correct spelling of the county's name.)

Could I please have access to these two? SciGal (talk) 17:36, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Guy from Tampa here. This is from memory so it may be wrong, but it's my understanding that the Trib is only available electronically back to the 1990s, and to go back further would require microfilm. However, the nearby St. Pete Times is available on Google News back to the 19th century, so you might find a similar article there. Gamaliel (talk) 18:15, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the suggestion. I wasn't able to find the exact article, but I was able to find an article from the Ocala Star-Banner people asking the Sumter County commissioners about cleaning Dade Battlefield in 1976 and a St. Pete Times article about the fight over the removal of a fence at the park. (Pardon the informal title for the park; I know people from Sumter County, and that is one of two ways I have heard residents refer to the park.) SciGal (talk) 20:05, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

May I ask a question? Within the last two weeks, I found a copy of the Weik's article on Scribd. Can I use that? SciGal (talk) 16:49, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I noted earlier this week that it was a preview and not the full article. SciGal (talk) 16:15, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Personally, I would like to have the full article, please. SciGal (talk) 16:33, 3 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Variety archives

There are a couple of articles about John Barrymore in the Variety archives from 1 June 1942 (a couple of days after his death). I think one was on the front page, one on page 4. There was also another article in the 2 June edition (page 4?). If anyone could obtain these I'd be much obliged! Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 19:07, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Verifiable source for Patrick McKeown

Hi, could you people help with verifiable sources of participation of Patrick McKeown in the following:

For more info please see poorly referenced and therefore deleted parts of Patrick McKeown on April 11,2014, (Revision history);

  • Any reliable sources of his participation in studies of asthma, rhinitis, sleep apnea, snoring, facial orthotropics, clinical trials internationally.

Also I found that his book is cited here (see ref#7), but not sure if it would be enough: http://www.asthmacare.ie/pdfs/Buteyko-Eygpt-Trial.pdf. It seems to be a lot of work, huge thank you for that.

Geografía de El Salvador

Hi there guys. I have no way here in Chile to access a book named "Geografía de El Salvador", published in 1986 by Dirección de Publicaciones, Ministerio de Cultura y Comunicaciones (of El Salvador). I know it is available in several university libraries, including that of Virginia, so I would like if any of you could find in page vii "Augusto Ramírez Camilo" and send me everything that goes with his name. I'd be really thankful. This is to improve El Puerto (Pichilemu), and possibly may result in the creation of Augusto Ramírez Olivares and Augusto Ramírez Camilo. (And Augusto Ramírez Salazar, deputy of El Salvador)

Reculver

I'd be very grateful if someone would consult the following in connection with the article for Reculver:

  • Ward, D.J. (1978), The lower London Tertiary (Palaeocene) succession of Herne Bay, Kent, H.M.S.O, ISBN 978-0-11-884052-1

It's only 12 pages long I believe, so I think any scanning or photocopying of multiple pages might be an infringement of copyright...? If so, I just need page numbers to support the statements referenced "[115]" in the following quotation from the article: the statements concern a) the Thanet Sand Formation forming the base of cliffs in the Reculver and Herne Bay area, and b) the highest cliffs there having a cap of London Clay.

Nearby Herne Bay is the type location for the Thanet Sand Formation, a fine-grained sand that can be clayey and glauconitic and is of Thanetian (late Paleocene) age.[114] It rests unconformably on the Chalk Group[114] and forms the base of the cliffs in the Reculver and Herne Bay area.[115] Above the Thanet Sand are the Upnor Formation, a medium sandstone,[116] and the sandy clays of the Harwich Formation at the Paleocene/Eocene boundary.[117] The highest cliffs, rising to a maximum height of about 115 feet (35 m) to the west of Reculver,[118] have a cap of London Clay,[115] a fine silty clay of Eocene age.[119]

Masclet, Jean Claude: «Droit électoral»

I need the aforementioned work to complete the Spanish Wikipedia's article es:Derecho electoral, and if necessary, the article Election law here. [ Google Books does not have at least snippet view], then it is useless. I will thank you if can find this source. I need mostly the first chapter, but can help to get more. --Zerabat (talk) 14:13, 25 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There are several OCLC records for that work listed here. (The several variations in capitalization, hyphenation, and use of accents in both the title and the author name lead to distinct OCLC records, eventually these should get resolved by redirects to one merged master record, likely at OCLC 19262262.) It would seem that this work is distinct from the smaller related work he issued in 1992. Altogether there are only 107 libraries listed as holding the 1989 work, which marks it as a bit obscure. Even french-language law schools don't all hold it, but the largest ones seem to. I doubt if it is available in digital form (too old for born-digital, yet far too new for scanned PD). You may have to actually go to a listed library. LeadSongDog come howl! 16:03, 25 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Then I need to take an airplane to get physical access to one of these libraries, because I live far from most of those places. Anyone have access to the book and can pass me a few scans? --Zerabat (talk) 23:56, 25 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am almost sure that libraries in my area do not have access via Interlibrary loans. What must I do to make a request to Harvard? --Zerabat (talk) 15:24, 3 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It depends on if Harvard is willing to inter-library loan to your area library, but another idea is to use Reddit's Harvard subreddit or find a Wikipedian attending Harvard or who lives in the Boston, Massachusetts area. I got the scans of the Chizuko Watanabe thesis from a CSULA student on Reddit. You can go to http://www.reddit.com/r/harvard and check with Redditors there.

(EC) I do not know exactly how many pages I need because I have never seen inside the book, but maybe if I would get the index, I could know exactly the pages I need.

Source review from Lexis Nexis and ProQuest

I use a few Lexis Nexis and ProQuest citations in Deathrow (video game), which is up at FAC: Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Deathrow (video game)/archive1. Can someone with access do a quick review that the prose accurately reflects those sources? (Newyorkadam?) czar ♔ 04:13, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Czar: Out of the two ProQuest sources, I have access to one, "The Grand Old Game vs. Down-and-Dirty Combat". I can't find the other in my search but I'll keep trying. I'll sourcecheck the one I found with the article later. -Newyorkadam (talk) 12:00, 1 May 2014 (UTC)Newyorkadam[reply]
Czar Why don't you just save copies of the two sources as PDFs, stick them in a dropbox, and link to them at the FAC? That's certainly easier on the reviewers. Sven Manguard Wha? 21:28, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Architecture thesis request

I'm looking for a copy of a thesis that is at the University of Vermont. It is "Blueprints for progress : General Houses, Inc., and the modern prefabricated house, 1932-40 / by Douglas K.

I first became aware of Royalty's work through the involvement to restore the House at 130 Mohegan Avenue - which is a GA of mine.

I'm not 100% clear on what you're requesting – might it be the following quotation? "Cana was a strategically vital center on the Roman road from Ptolemais (Akko) on the Mediterranean to Magdala on the Sea of Galilee (Josephus Life 16 §86)." That seems to be the only mention of a road between those settlements, but there's more in-depth discussion of the them and of Tiberias on pages 36–8.

At Swazi language, the phonology section was both incomplete and, according to basic descriptions of the language in other sources, incorrect.

Italian source needs verifying

Hi, I am working on improving the Italian invasion of France article. An editor (who is quickly developing a bad reputation) has claimed that the below source states the following "Italy's limited incursion into south-eastern France had been, despite initial setbacks, relatively successful from a military, strategic and political point of view." (pulled from the article, so not a direct quote although considering some of this editors comments it maybe).

Source: Zamagni, V (ed), Come Pedere la Pace e Vincere la Guerra, Il Mulino, Bologna, 1997

I do not have access to this source and from what I have found online, using google translate, the intro states that the book is an economic history of the 1940s and 1950s with six essays from six different economic historians. The editor has refused to provide any additional information, and considering the editors problems and the fact that the majority of historians disagree with what the source apparently states, this information needs to be verified.

The editor claims that the above information is on page 53. If anyone has access to this source, can they please clarify:

  • If the above is actually stated on page 53
  • If so, why (what is the greater context)?
  • If so, which of the six historians actually makes this claim

Regards, --EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 21:28, 11 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like the title was wrong, if the reference is to

Proquest article request

Looking for this article from the Hartford Courant for Willie Hoppe, available from Proquest, for verification purposes and possibly expansion.

@John M Baker: Ah, thanks much. Shows how careful you must be in your assumptions to not engage in original research. Billiards? Yes. Pocket billiards? Highly unlikely – but the person who sourced this probably doesn't know the difference. At least "probably" was kept in, which was a good hedge in the source, but wrong because he was not the only billiards player to give an exhibition at the white house, and if I remember, Ralph Greenleaf did as well.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 22:42, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

News archive search requested and possibly Lexis/Westlaw for Minnesota Fats article

Google News Archive being useless, lo now these many, many months, is really painful. Regarding Minnesota Fats, a source I've come across writes that Wanderone actually sued Tevis and possibly Twentieth Century Fox, or vice versa, whereas most sources just state that a lawsuit was threatened. It says the "court battle made front page news across the nation for several weeks in 1962". I want the skinny on this lawsuit, if it existed, for the article. A newspaperarchive.com or similar search would be great, maybe pegging 1962 and using tevis wanderone as the search grist; a Lexis/Westlaw search would be great as well, especially if there's an opinion (though even if there was a lawsuit, it's not unlikely it never made it to the appellate level).--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 23:13, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Fuhghettaboutit: I'm skeptical that there was a lawsuit brought by Rudolf or Rudolph Wanderone (our article and your source say "Rudolf," but the newspaper articles all seem to say "Rudolph"), the man who claimed that the fictional character "Minnesota Fats" was based on him. There was nothing relevant on Westlaw, although I wouldn't necessarily expect there to be even if a suit had been filed. More to the point, searches of ProQuest Historical Newspapers and Newspaper Archive found a few articles, in 1961, 1962, and 1964, that referred to a suit brought by Wanderone, but these are just passing references, obviously based on statements by Wanderone and lacking basic information such as the court and the name of his lawyer. A 1966 article, written under the assumption that Wanderone was the original Minnesota Fats, said, "When Gleason came out as Minnesota Fats, the genuine article cried foul and there was talk of law suits, but there also was a lot of free publicity and now things couldn't be better." Clifton Terry, Minnesota Fats, Chicago Tribune (Jan. 2, 1966). That sounds to me like the suit never got past the talking stage. In any case, it's obviously untrue that the court battle made front page news across the nation in 1962. If you want the articles, email me and I'll reply with PDFs. John M Baker (talk) 13:14, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@John M Baker: Hey John. Got your message. A bit weird: I wrote a response to you here weeks ago and thought I saved it but obviously not – probably got a "loss of session data" message. Anyway, thanks for the searches! You've confirmed my suspicion that the outlier source got it wrong and that it was just threatened. I would have loved to see that lawsuit if it had been brought. Wanderone would have put on a three ring circus.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 23:42, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sauropodiformes paper

Resolved

The paper I request is entitled The complete anatomy and phylogenetic relationships of Antetonitrus ingenipes (Sauropodiformes, Dinosauria): implications for the origins of Sauropoda and might be very important to improve both Sauropoda and Antetonitrus, although also probably Sauropodomorpha. This paper was published this year, and will be very good to expand multiple articles with. If anyone can get a full text and somehow allow me to read through it, that would be greatly accepted and appreciated. Thanks - IJReid (talk) 04:05, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Request for citation regularly used on Wikipedia

(Supplement to the Explanation of the Preliminaries of the Life Entrusting [Ritual]) (rgyal chen srog gtad gyi sngon 'gro bshad pa'i mtshams sbyor kha bskong),) Collected Works, New Delhi: Chopel Legdan, 1973), VII.517-532, 520.

Is the article I am looking for. It is cited in the article http://dalailama.com/messages/dolgyal-shugden/ganden-tripa/the-shugden-affair-i , which is used as an authoritative source for a couple of points that are damning to a third party. It is very hard for me to believe that some of the quotes are accurate and I cannot find the cited book anywhere and am starting to doubt its authenticity. I would love any help in trying to access it or help on where I could do this. Thank you SO much to anyone who can help :)

This particularly pertains to the Dorje Shugden Controversy, Dorje Shugden, and Western Shugden Society pages. --Prasangika37 (talk) 03:08, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is not my area at all, but I poked around WorldCat and I think that book does exist. I found a bunch of records for a 1973 series published by "Chophel Legdan", the Collected Works of "Pha-boṅ-kha-pa". These records contain little information, only that this series was "Tibetan, Reprod. under the guidance of the Ven. Khri-byaṅ Rin-po-che from the surviving mss. and prints from the Lhasa blocks" and that they are owned by the Bavarian State Library. Gamaliel (talk) 04:02, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Prasangika37: Okay, I found the WorldCat US records for this series, it's OCLC # 4991610. (For unknown reasons, books in Germany and the US turn up frequently under different records in WorldCat.) Since your user page says you are in New England, the closest library with this series is likely either the Tibetan Collection of the Widener Library at Harvard University: http://hollis.harvard.edu/?itemid=%7Clibrary/m/aleph%7C002656852 or Yale University's Library Shelving Facility (offsite overflow storage, sounds like): http://hdl.handle.net/10079/bibid/10128087.

Jezreel—Where Jezebel Was Thrown to the Dogs

David Ussishkin, "Jezreel—Where Jezebel Was Thrown to the Dogs", Biblical Archaeology Review July / August 2010 [11]

Need to verify some information on Jezreel (city). Specifically I'm looking to verify:

"The fortress enclosed an area of almost 11 acres (45,000 m2). It was 860' long and 470' wide, and defended by a steep slope to the north and a moat 20' deep and rampart on the other three sides."

The editor @Gil72: asked me for help in trying to verify this information, and while I was able to find an online source, the article is behind a paywall. Apparently the article is not on HighBeam, which was the only resource the first person I asked for help had access to. --Zell Faze (talk) 02:13, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dragon issue #427, page 3 -- requires a paid subscription to D&D Insider

Hi. Trying to create a web citation for a factoid using an online-only article available behind a paywall at www.wizards.com (Wizards of the Coast). I know it exists because it is discussed and quoted in many forums and blogs (non-WP:RS) within the D&D community. Specifically I am looking for the editorial/announcement from Chris Perkins entitled "Going Dark" which is on page 3 of this online magazine issue.

World Christian encyclopedia

  • source: World Christian encyclopedia: a comparative survey of churches and religions in the modern world, Volume 1, David B. Barrett, George Thomas Kurian, Todd M. Johnson Oxford University Press, 2001, p. 78 (not sure about the page number)
    • quote: "In 1903, in the part of Armenia controlled by Russia, Armenian Orthodox churches and schools were forcibly closed and church property confiscated. The clergy resisted, and Russian police occupied Holy Echmiadzin."
  • article: Etchmiadzin Cathedral

I'd like to take a look at the page where this quote comes from. The claim of Russian police occupying the cathedral is a very strong one, which I see for the first time. If it's not possible to send the entire page, can you please check if it comes from a piece written by an author other than the main authors/editors? And is supported by an external source? Thanks in advance. --Երևանցի talk 05:17, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
