Resource Request

How to use this 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

Before asking volunteers to look for your source, try finding it yourself with the tools at your disposal.

In particular, eligible editors can use the Wikipedia Library, which gives access to content provided by numerous academic publishers.

  • Though we would prefer you to ask for a specific journal, article or work, we will accept open-ended questions. You can ask for all kinds of sources here, either on this page or by writing directly to an active user.
  • Provide as much detail as possible: a full citation with author, title, publisher, date and identifiers like DOI, ISBN, ISSN, PMID, OCLC, etc. Indicate which article you need this for.
  • Due to copyright restrictions, we cannot send you full book/thesis copies. Narrow down your request to a specific chapter or page(s).
  • Add the {{Resolved}} template when your request is completed.
  • Filled requests are archived. Requests unfilled after three months will also be archived.

Fulfilling a request

  • Anyone may offer advice and fulfill requests, in full or in part. When fulfilling a part of a request, tell others which one so that they don't have to do the same work.
  • Notify (mention) the requester using {{u|REQUESTER_USERNAME}}.
  • You can:
Copyright tips
  • Respect copyrights and terms of services of any online services you use.
  • Limit sharing content online that the copyright holders have restricted access to to the minimum level: only to the individuals who need it, only to the minimal degree necessary to fulfil the request and only to improve Wikipedia. We share content under a presumed non-commercial, educational, fair use purpose to improve our articles or create new ones.
  • Whenever possible, share copies privately. You should not upload copyrighted copies from print publications or online databases for unrestricted distribution via open websites.
  • Individual editors are solely responsible for sharing copyrighted content and assume all legal risks. Check the laws of your jurisdiction to make sure you are comfortable and safe giving access to it.

Multiple fossil cat-related requests

These are a series of scientific articles I am unable to access online. I have checked the Wikipedia Library as well as Google Scholar. Most of these are unlikely to be in English. Two of them (the ones by Bakr) I suspect are rare outside of Pakistan.

@SilverTiger12, Are you sure about the publication information you cite for number 6? I'm looking at what I think is volume one issue 4 and just can't find that article. Also the link you provide is to a november issue, issue 4 is from April. Eddie891 Talk Work 19:53, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately, no, I'm not certain about the publication information; I tracked it down as a potential source second or third-hand a while ago. Doing a search again, I can't track down where the issue 4 part came from, just that it is in volume 1. My apologies. SilverTiger12 (talk) 21:15, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I will look through volume 1. Unfortunately it has no real page numbers. But I will do my best, and ping you when I track it down. Eddie891 Talk Work 22:55, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@SilverTiger12: Please clarify what portions of this request are complete and what portions are still outstanding. The tradition method is to strike the list items that you no longer need. Next week I'll be at a library that has 3, 4, and 6, but am reluctant to spend my limited time there scanning hundreds of pages if you may not still need them. --Worldbruce (talk) 19:34, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Worldbruce: I have done so. Only 3, 5, and 6 are still needed. Unfortunately I don't think I can narrow down the needed page ranges in 3 and 6. Although for 3 the most needed part is the section on felids (cats), Miomachairodus in specific, if you only have limited time. And for 6, close to the same: section on felids, Epimachairodus zwierzykii in specific. Happy editing, SilverTiger12 (talk) 19:43, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
SilverTiger12, email me for #3. --Usernameunique (talk) 18:46, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Received. Thank you! SilverTiger12 (talk) 14:59, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
In case it helps at all, here are some URLs for #5:
Let me know you think if it would be useful for me to request an interlibrary loan (which can be physical or digital) for chapter 105 of "Proceedings of Fourth Pakistan Congress of Zoology" through my university. The second WorldCat link says that University of Minnesota, Twin Cities has a copy, and both it and my university are in the Big Ten Academic Alliance, so it should be more likely to be accepted and should be processed faster, compared to it being at some unaffiliated institution.
Solomon Ucko (talk) 02:15, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
A lead! Thank you! I've had a hard enough time finding this source to say yes, please request the interlibrary loan. I think that might actually be what I'm looking for. Happy editing, SilverTiger12 (talk) 18:45, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Perfect! I've requested an ILL for it; I'll let you know when I get updates on its status. Solomon Ucko (talk) 20:08, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@SilverTiger12: I've received the scan. It's short enough that I'll just transcribe it here:

[...]

105. On a Collection of Siwalik Carnivora
Abu Bakr
Department of Zoology, University of the Punjab, Lahore

In the Department of Zoology, Punjab University, the total number of the speciments of fossil Carnivora is eighteen. More collection was made last year. The total number of species that discovered is sixteen. Of these four i.e. Vishnucyon nagriensis, Sivaonyx minor, Lycaena felina and Panthera dhokpathanensis are new. The other speciments also given additional information about the known species. The work has been carried out under Pakistan Foundation, Project No. P-PU/Bio (102).

— p. 51
This is page 51, and https://search.worldcat.org/title/62447645 says the book is 51 pages in total, so this is presumably the last page, so that's it.
Solomon Ucko (talk) 20:05, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hm, so I'm still looking for the monograph itself. Thank you though. SilverTiger12 (talk) 21:57, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh right, hmm... Should I try requesting an inter-library loan and see if my university's librarians can figure something out, perhaps borrowing it or getting a scan from the National Library of Pakistan? Solomon Ucko (talk) 01:08, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's a long shot, but I'd appreciate it. SilverTiger12 (talk) 01:37, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Makes sense. I've submitted a request for it. I'll let you know when I get any updates. I'm required to give a deadline, so I gave them about 6 months, since this could be slow. Solomon Ucko (talk) 07:01, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To editor SilverTiger12: Issues of De Ingenieur in Nederlandsch Indie are readable here. I didn't find that article, though I didn't look very hard. Maybe that collection is incomplete or maybe the volume or issue is wrong. Alas there is no search engine. Zerotalk 02:18, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@SilverTiger12: Article #6 is in volume 1, issue 11, a pdf of which can be downloaded here. It's on pages 21-40 of the pdf, in print they're numbered IV 185 - IV 202. --Worldbruce (talk) 07:47, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, TompaDompa. Can you add copy to this request the full cites for the ones you still need? I haven't looked yet, but suspect my library has at least some of them given that it had the first one. --Usernameunique (talk) 21:46, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Certainly. TompaDompa (talk) 21:54, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1906 article in Arts and Crafts

For Herbert Maryon

According to the below article, The March number of "Arts and Crafts" is, as usual, full of articles which are intended to provide students and art workers with useful information on a variety of subjects in which they are interested. The most important of these articles are "Various Methods of Finishing Oak," by Mr. W. Daniell; "Metal Work," by Mr. H. J. Maryon; "Practical Talks about Wood-Carving," by Mr. H. Turner; "Inlaying," by Mr. A[rthur] C[awdron] Horth; and "Bookbinding," by Mr. F. Sangorski and Mr. G. Sutcliffe. Among the more notable illustrations are reproductions of drawings by Henner, E. Detaille, and Feyen Perrin.

The starting point is to figure out what journal this is—a task not helped by its generic name. There's a good chance that this is a small journal that didn't last long. The article would be Maryon's second published work that I'm aware of, five months after "Early Irish Metal Work", in another small journal. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Usernameunique (talk) 01:42, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Based on the location, maybe [1]? Eddie891 Talk Work 02:18, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks very much for that, Eddie891. I think you're right. I sent an email to a library that looks like it has a copy of the issue in question, but didn't receive a response. I've now submitted an ILL request, so hopefully that will both prove you right, and get the article. --Usernameunique (talk) 05:53, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
How's this going? If you're having trouble with the ILL, I should be able to request an ILL for OCLC 225804755 pretty easily, as my university is within the Big Ten Academic Alliance, and so is one of the libraries that has it. If you received it but it's not the right magazine, if you send me the full newspaper article that prompted your search, I can try to figure out what else it might be. Solomon Ucko (talk) 06:24, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Sollyucko. Would you mind giving it a go? My library claims that the ILL was unsuccessful; I could try submitting it again, but perhaps you would have better luck if a copy is already within your system. --Usernameunique (talk) 20:19, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, it looks like University of Minnesota, Twin Cities doesn't have that issue, but it looks like the following libraries have it:
Two of these are academic libraries in the US, so I think there's a decent chance of success. My university's ILL department is a bit busy currently, but I'll submit it in a few days and see what happens. If you contact me via Special:EmailUser, I'll send you the scan I receive, if it's successful.
Solomon Ucko (talk) 21:16, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've submitted an ILL request myself. It might be more complicated than I originally thought, but hopefully they can figure it out without too much difficulty... I'm just confused how issue and volume numbers correspond with months and years... Solomon Ucko (talk) 13:58, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Citations from old Art and living magazines

Hello. I'm trying to determine whether there are enough sources to save Richard Whitney (artist). At present the article has no citations at all, but it does quote from Town & Country (magazine) and Fine Art Connoisseur, though without detailed citations. The subject has provided me with more useful citations, but I can't find those articles online (I can find the issue of Fine Art Connoiseur in archive.com, but not the article). I can't see a resource in WP:LIBRARY that looks promising. I've put all the information I have in the citations: I realise it's incomplete, and I will be asking the subject for more info (see WP:HD#Author request deletions on my Gallery at Richard Whitney (artist)). Anybody got access to either of these?

For #1, I've put in a request for an interlibrary loan for the article in OCLC 62778816; I'll let you know when I get any major updates on its status. If you contact me via Special:EmailUser, I'll email you it if and when I receive it. Solomon Ucko (talk) 06:37, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have received a scan of the "The Fine Touch", but the only mention I see of Whitney is in a similar list: "As tempting as it is to highlight them, this highly selective survey bypasses the giants of the field whose work is so familiar to most readers: Among them are [...], and Richard Whitney. Having weathered the relatively lean years of the 1950s-80s, these huge talents have attained varying degrees of celebrity, inspired several generations of younger artists, and found their rightful places in museum collections. Several have been profiled in this magazine already, and others are scheduled for the months ahead." (p. 56) Solomon Ucko (talk) 17:09, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Here are some more sources I found that might be useful beyond a trivial mention; many of them are available publicly or though the Wikipedia Library; let me know if you can't access any of them and I'll see what I can do. I'm not sure to what extent they're independent of the subject and the Wikipedia page, though... Make sure to check the footer, since at least one of them says they copied text provided by him, without any editing or vetting.

Looking for articles about "École allemande Humboldt" in newspapers in Quebec

For Alexander von Humboldt German International School Montreal

Hello! I'm trying to find any historical newspaper articles that give in-depth coverage to the school (known as "École internationale allemande Alexander von Humboldt" in French) in Montreal. This is for a relevant articles for deletion on FRwiki. I noticed Montreal Gazette had archives on Newspapers.com but I havent found other archives of English newspapers.

Thanks, WhisperToMe (talk) 13:29, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WhisperToMe, have you tried searching the Bibliothèque et Archives Nationales du Québec (BanQ)? They have pretty extensive archives over there. Szmenderowiecki (talk) 15:48, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Not yet. Lemme see what I can find there today. Thank you for the tip! WhisperToMe (talk) 15:51, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
From my first search result I found a good primary source: an international agreement on the operations of the school. It's not the secondary sources that I had looked for, but it's compelling and would be a good further reading entry. WhisperToMe (talk) 19:57, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
WhisperToMe, what's the progress on this request? Szmenderowiecki (talk) 15:02, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Szmenderowiecki: The good news is that the FRwiki article survived its AFD due to other sources I found in English (and one in French). It's no longer critical to find these, though it may still be nice if a French speaking Wikipedian knew of additional resources and stumbled upon this request. WhisperToMe (talk) 20:16, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Well I speak some French but I'm not based in Quebec so that's about everything I can offer.
You may try to look into archives of some Montreal newspapers, look here for possible candidates. Szmenderowiecki (talk) 13:12, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Books about Le Touquet in French

For User:Szmenderowiecki/sandbox/Touquet, particularly WWII and post-war reconstruction - will be thrown directly into Le Touquet article

The first article is available through OpenEdition, but The Wikipedia Library access to it is broken, hence my request. The second and third books are very likely offline, and I don't have relevant pages, so I'd appreciate someone with ILL (buying ILL vouchers). Obviously I cannot and will not request everything, but I need some info about what was happening, how many Germans were living in that city, what they were doing there, what did they do with the women, elderly and children who remained in the resort, preparations for the Atlantic Wall as relevant to the city and the reason why Le Touquet was so densely mined even though it had little intrinsic military value. Any relevant excerpts that will reflect on this issue will be welcome. I want to make a text that's max 2 paragraphs, beginning from the internment order of enemy males under 60.

Bird name synonym

For Aldabra fody, as I am doing a major expansion of the article and I cannot figure out who the first author to use the synonym Foudia eminentissima aldabrana was; I think it was most probably Moreau, but I need confirmation (strangely, no taxonomic database I have visited has mentioned this name, but it is brought up by the IUCN and others without making it clear who used it first). If not here, Birds of the World, which I also cannot access, may have some information.

Thanks, Bruce1ee, unsure why I couldn't find it there. Sadly, it does not use the name F. e. aldabrana, but it does state that the bird is most likely conspecific with a different fody. Unsure where to go from here. Anonymous 18:06, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It is Ridgway as given on the article. Added a ref there for the original description. Its placement as a subspecies of eminentissima does not change the taxonomic authority. Shyamal (talk) 07:56, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@User:Shyamal, but Ridgway described it as a full species. It was then described by later authors as a subspecies (now considered a species again), but I can't figure out who first did this. Anonymous 18:06, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In the article you linked, I don't see a mention of "eminentissima", but Figure 2 on p. 34 is captioned "Foudia beaks"; #7 is "aldabrana (Aldabra)". It cites https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/partpdf/52121 from 1894, which refers to "Foudia aldabrana".
Searching my university's EBSCOhost subscription, I found citations to Frith, C. B. (1976). "A twelve-month study of the Aldabran Fody Foudia eminentissima aldabrana". Ibis. 118: 155–178. in:
That cited article is in the Wikipedia Library: https://onlinelibrary-wiley-com.wikipedialibrary.idm.oclc.org/doi/epdf/10.1111/j.1474-919X.1976.tb03064.x. The oldest citation I see in there is to the article you asked for. Benson 1963 doesn't seem to mention this species, but Benson 1967 does, searched with the help of HathiTrust: it describes the species starting on p. 87; on pp. 102-103, it says that it's a subspecies; and there are some additional matches.
I know basically nothing about zoology, but I hope this helps?

IEEE paper on control data encoded in audio streams

I'm working on a project to improve Wikipedia with information about film technology, including accessibility features in film, special film technologies such as motion control and 4D film, and the preservation of the associated technical data along with the film. Some of this data is encoded inside the film's audio stream and then processed by an external decoder. This is a very specialized process for which I've had a hard time finding reliable, technical sources.

For Digital Cinema Package (and other related articles), I need additional technical sources regarding the packaging of external control data inside digital audio streams. Other examples of the work I've done so far on these topics include the D-Box & Accessibility sections of the DCP article, as well as D-Box Technologies#Movie theatres, Accessibility#Hearing impairment, Hearing loss#Management, Sign language#Technology, Brazilian Sign Language#In film, Sign-language media, Movie theater#Accessibility, and Audio description#Operation.

I have an IEEE source I've been using for these article already which is open access (https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9161348), however I need an additional IEEE source which is not. I have tried several online resources, including through my local library & EBSCOhost, and I have not been able to find access for this publication. I had access to HighBeam previously, however that program was shut down. Is this paper available to Wikipedians through a library or research partner?

For Adventures of a Boy (Azerbaijani folktale). The Hungarian language tales are translations of part of a collection made in the early-20th century by Henafi Zeynalli, and recently published as a joint work between Hungarian and Azeri scholars.

Persian/Iranian tales:

For The Wonderful Sea-Horse (Iranian folktale), which was a tale provided by Masdi Galin Hanom. I already have a translated version printed in 1950 - which I will be going over -, but the German book contains the German translation (which I suppose is a more faithful translation of her tale) and notes by Ulrich Marzolph. Tale nr. 2 is another Iranian variant of tale type 314, but a summary cannot identify which is which.

I've attempted to request an inter-library loan for #1–3. I'll let you know when I get any updates on its status. Solomon Ucko (talk) 03:58, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I recently noticed that my ILL request for the chapters of "Százegy azerbajdzsáni népmese" was unfortunately "Cancelled by ILL Staff" because they were "Unable to find supplier", and they didn't notify me, just silently disappeared it. (I found a way to see a list of all my cancelled requests, and there thankfully aren't any others.)
The only library listed on WorldCat for it (https://search.worldcat.org/title/1014571845) is the "Library and Information Centre of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences". I guess they don't do ILL for universities in the US?
Please let me know if there's anything else you'd like me to try for that book. If you find some way my university can get it, let me know and I'll let my library staff know.

Varieties and usage of kimchi

  • 손, 경희 (1991). "김치의 종류와 이용". 한국식생활문화학회지 (in Korean). 6 (4): 503–520.

For Kimchi. I've been looking for ages for this paper. The journal's online archives do not have this paper (page numbers for volume 6 only go up to 464). The journal does have an ISSN (1225-7060), but they've only had that since 2014. They have no doi for papers this old. I've checked koreascience.kr and DBpia to no avail.

Here are Google Scholar links to citations to this paper: "Variety and use of kimchi" (cited by 6), "Classification of kimchi and its use" (cited by 5), "Kinds and usage of Kimchi" (cited by 5), "The sorts and use of kimchi" (cited by 4), and "김치의 종류와 이용" (the original Korean name of the paper, cited by 26).

The best chance I think is if someone has access to the physical edition of volume 6 of 한국식생활문화학회지 (Journal of the Korean Society of Food Culture) and is able to find this paper and scan it.

Need a microfilm from St Pancras, London (British Library)

I need a London resident willing to go to the British Library at St Pancras and scan the microfilm of a 1965 Evening Standard article.

(The article is not available on Newspapers.com; see my previous WP:RX request here [2].)

Relevant details:

  • Evening Standard
  • Title appears to be: "IT'S THE GHOST OF LILLIE LANGTRY - AS QUEER THINGS HAPPEN IN HER OLD HOME".
  • Date of the article is April 2, 1965.
  • One exact quote I've seen attributed several times to it is "Langtry's ghost appeared one day".

I need a copy of the article in full (it has been excerpted in at least one book and a few news articles), which is why I need the microfilm. I also need the page number.

Article being improved: Lillie Langtry

My email address is softlavenderwiki@gmail.com

Type it on the book search bar. Type Haber-awal and you will see it. Here is the direct quote from page 9
“ A third clan with a presence in Awdal is the Isaaq, particularly the Haber-Awal sub-clan.
Though they have relatively little historical presence in the region, the Isaaq are playing a growing role in two areas of Awdal.” Hawkers994 (talk) 20:15, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Still can't find it and I typed it aswell on the search function. Besides the information you provided doesn't match the content you wrote on the article that they live there as a community. What does growing role mean, that doesn't mean they inhabit the region? Especially considering every other source contradicts it. Can you show on the source clearly that they are a community that live in the region? Growing presence and trade doesn't mean anything.

MustafaO (talk) 20:30, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

your prejudice to deny a whole community that lives in this region cannot be overlooked. As stated before on page 9 it clearly states whats on the actual Awdal article itself word for word. Hawkers994 (talk) 20:49, 18 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No need to call me prejudiced, Im asking for the content that states they inhabit the region clearly and in no uncertain terms. I don't know why but when I type it in the search function nothing comes up. Do you have any other source that can back it up that is actually accessible. Anyway I'll leave it here. There is clear no benefit in this back and forth and would like to see if anyone can corroborate the source and see if it says what you've stated. Otherwise bring another clear citation.

Shankar Raman, have you tried asking folks over at WikiProject Queensland? By random chance alone there isn't much chance anyone's going to be from Brisbane, but it's much higher there and maybe they could go to the state library or, if they are outside Brisbane but still in Queensland, do an ILL, which is free for Queensland libraries.
Not a very active WikiProject but it could help.
Newspaper Archives do not cover that article, Newspapers by Ancestry do not cover Queensland at all. Szmenderowiecki (talk) 12:29, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the suggestion--will look it up. Shankar Raman (talk) 05:21, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
FWIW, a couple of Google Books results ([12], [13]) indicate that the title of the article might simply be "Erythrina resupinata", but I'm not sure.
I could try requesting an interlibrary loan through my US library in March, when they don't have as much to do, since this might be difficult for them; let me know at some point if you'd like me to attempt that then. I'd encourage you to first try asking WikiProject Queensland, as Szmenderowiecki said, or perhaps better WikiProject Australian biota, such as by putting a message on the WikiProject's talk page.

I've been working on the Besanosaurus article for a while now, and have seen this publication listed as important for this taxon in the literature (namely in Maisch, 2010); however, I have been unable to find any trace of it or its journal online beyond citations, so I unfortunately cannot give any further pointers on where a copy could be found.

In this case, I suspect the tale is an Iranian variant, since Mirza and Bibi are the names of the characters in other Iranian-language variants. Anna Rozenfeld was a Tajik Iranist, and in the "Preface" she might have indicated the source for the tale.

For Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven

The first source is a book that discusses the development of Canadian music in the early 2000s. This chapter in particular talks about Godspeed You! Black Emperor, including the album Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven. While I can somewhat access it on Google Books, it does not have page numbers, and not all the pages are available. The footnotes from the book I have added to the article in question are guesswork because I do not know the exact page numbers and would like a stable copy for verification and ease.

The rest are reviews of the album taken from either the review score sidebar already in the article or the album's entry on Metacritic. I have applied on the Wikipedia Library to access Rock's Backpages, but there's no guarantee I will find them there.

I'm asking for the summary first, since there are two tales about a queen giving birth to the shell prince, and I need to better locate the version (which appears to be ca. pp. 38ff), and to see the context of where the tale is depicted in murals.

Thanks, KHR FolkMyth (talk) 14:11, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

According to HathiTrust, "Suwannasang" appears on pp. 38-42; Google Books shows snippets on pp. 38, 39, 41.
According to HathiTrust, "Conch" appears on pp. 29, 38, 42; Google Books shows snippets on all three of those pages.
Should I try requesting an interlibrary loan scan from OCLC 15488774, putting "[references to Suwannasang and conch]" as the chapter title, and "chapters w/ pp. 29, 38-42" for the pages? If needed, I could try requesting the physical book to look through myself, but that tends to take forever to ship.

Material to confirm release date of "Gabriel Knight" video game

Hi, can anyone access this entire collection of archived press releases from Sierra? If not, could you retrieve the specific press release found in this newspaper article titled (preferably dated) "Supernatural software debuts" somewhere online? I need it to find the exact release date for The Beast Within: A Gabriel Knight Mystery.

Thanks, Venky64 (talk) 00:41, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Venky64:, here is a search query on Archive.org with the game title and some publications. Period of release seems to be late-1995, early-1996, judging by the dates of magazines with either a review or a preview. KHR FolkMyth (talk) 03:36, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The newspaper you linked to is dated 25 December 1995, and says "just announced the release to retailers". https://search.worldcat.org/title/38344600 and https://search.worldcat.org/title/34269048 just say 1995. It looks like the first link you provided has some extra gunk on the end; this one should work: https://archives.museumofplay.org/repositories/3/archival_objects/9118.

HathiTrust says that the front matter and pp. 10, 11, 12, 13, 83, 85 mention "Griffith". I'm happy to request a scan of the front matter and pp. 9-14, 82-86 via interlibrary loan if you'd like, but I'm against requesting the whole introduction unless you can provide justification for it.

For "Volcanic Hazards on the Alaska Peninsula and in the Aleutian Islands", the abstract is publicly visible, but the author has passed away, so I think the best bet for getting anything beyond that would be to contact his colleagues, but I'm not sure how likely that is to succeed. Should I give it a try, though?
For "The 1931 eruption of Aniakchak Volcano, Alaska", the abstract is likewise publicly visible. There's an email address for the first author listed in the abstract, and I found one for each author in https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0377027311002204. Should I try emailing them to ask them if they have anything they can send beyond the abstract? However, I did find Nicholson's very closely related M.S. Thesis publicly available here: https://scholarworks.alaska.edu/handle/11122/6306. Is that enough?

Greetings, has someone access to Icelandic Volcanoes in Medieval Sagas, Chronicles, Annals and in Modern Scholarly Literature ? For Eldgjá

Thanks, Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 17:30, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

According to Google, 200 RUB is just 2.21 USD (and apparently https://ras.jes.su/history/s207987840027707-6-1-en has it for just half that), so I would be happy to even pay for it myself, but I don't feel comfortable putting my credit card information into a Russian website...
I could attempt to request an interlibrary loan, but I'm having trouble finding a good WorldCat entry to reference... Searching for journals with ISSN 2079-8784, I see OCLC 1404284894, which is a digital and held solely by the Marshall Center Research Library in Germany, and OCLC 1404363057, which is also digital, and held by no-one, but links to Elsevier Scopus, which only has metadata, abstract, and references. I can give it a try if you'd like, in about a month when ILL demand is at its lowest.

Large-Scale Traps of the Great Basin

Greetings, has someone access to "Hockett, Bryan, and Eric Dillingham. Large-Scale Traps of the Great Basin. Texas A&M University Press, 2023."? For Neopluvial

Thanks, Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 17:30, 10 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Here's the text that seems to me (as a layperson) to be relevant, extracted by searching Google Books:

Between 3,500 and 4,000 years ago, Elko Series points replaced [(page break?)] Gatecliff and Humboldt points as the dominant projectile point style in many areas of the Great Basin. The eastern Sierra Nevada region also saw the production of a variety of Martis projectile point styles, including corner notched, side notched, and contracting stem, the latter of which has characteristic nods to the Gypsum point style more common in the southern reaches of the Great Basin (e.g., Elston 1971). This marks the Late Middle Archaic period. This period is associated with at least two different climatic phases. Between 2,800 and 3,800 years ago, the climate was cool and wet. Dubbed the Neoglacial or Neopluvial, these relatively cool and wet conditions fostered increases in marsh habitat, particularly in the western Great Basin (Rhode 2016). The largest aboriginal residential houses in Nevada were constructed at this time (e.g. McGuire et al. 2017). Sometime after 2,800 years ago, and particularly between about 2,000 and 2,750 years ago, the climate turned xeric. This climatic phase, known as the Late Holocene dry period or Late Holocene drought (Mensing et al. 2013), [...]

Yes, please. There is not enough information on glaciation on Ampato and Coropuna otherwise. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 07:55, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's also rather long, so I'm hesitant to request a scan of the whole thing... Should I try contacting the author via the email address listed in https://journals.openedition.org/quaternaire/3362, or via the form at http://seblamadon-photos.com/contact/?
Alternatively, are these enough? If there are any that you can't access (check the Wikipedia Library if direct access doesn't work), let me know and I'll send you it.

I only need this one. Granted, the problem is that most of these sources discuss the Hualca Hualca-Sabancaya-Ampato massif in general, often focusing on Hualca Hualca, and not on Ampato. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 08:02, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like the full-text for that one is available through the ResearchGate link I provided. Are you unable to access it, or do you not trust it to be accurate?
Meanwhile, I also found the following, mostly from searching my university's ProQuest subscription for (Sabancaya OR Ampato OR Coropuna) glaciation, but I know basically nothing about geology, so I'm not sure how useful they are:
If what you can access is insufficient, and there's any of these that you think might be relevant but you can't access in full (note: ProQuest appears to provide 24-page previews for at least some theses, at least if logged in via the Wikipedia Library), send me the links and let me know whether you can at least see the metadata. If not, I'll first send you the metadata so you can try to find it yourself. If you can't find a good way to access it, let me know and I'll send you the relevant parts.

For me, searching Google Books (Samalas, 1257) gives me snippets but not page numbers. It looks like the last snippet is of the index, which lists only page 214 for Samalas. I don't have the page numbers, so I don't think I can request a scan, but I could request the whole book.

1978 articles from the United Kingdom

I'm requesting for the following articles:

  • Freeman, Sue (September 1, 1978). "Danger Ahead!". The Sun. London, England.

This will be used to add a relevant citation in the C. D. Darlington article. I'm aware that the community at large actively discourages the use of The Sun (physical and digital versions) as a reference per a 2019 discussion among other related dialogues within this site; however I would like to request that particular article to compare and contrast and to use the latter article to scour for similar content (aside from the former and the biography written by Oren Solomon Harman) that isn't from deprecated or blacklisted sources.

Sollyucko I appreciate you and your help so much. And thanks for catching the spelling error. Seems likely that whatever the name of the article is in the 2nd source it starts on page 134 and goes to 137. The other pages are probably the table of content and the indices entries, but I'm obviously not sure.

I think the set of libraries that have the correct issue of each is limited, and judging from the processing history, those that do might be less convenient to borrow from. I think they're working on them, though; the last log entry for each was 4 days ago, and it seems they sent a request and are waiting for a response.

I don't have access to the book myself, but it's in the Big Ten Academic Alliance, so if I request an inter-library loan for specific pages, I should get a scan in a couple of business days. According to HathiTrust, Chowking appears on pp. 87, 226, 231-233, and Kuan appears on the front cover, pp. 3, 6, 226, and the back cover. I'm also adding a page on each side for context, and merging nearby page ranges.

Tennis anyone?

For Susan Wakhungu-Githuku: I am trying to ascertain information about the tennis career of Susan Wakhungu. Our article on the Kenya Open says she won the women's singles title in 1984 and our article on Tennis at the African Games says she won bronze in the 1987 ladies doubles. (There are other wins, but I have sources for them.) This article says she won gold in the 1987 All-Africa doubles, so I have conflicting information. Barrett's for 1987 lists her sister Judy, but not Susan (I searched both Wakhungu and Githuku because she married in 1986). I cannot find anything about 1984. Various blogs/databases give Barrett's World of Tennis as a definitive source, so I have listed it above. I've also listed other snippets I have found that might help, but as I cannot see the articles, am unable to give complete citations. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Weekly Review says bronze: https://books.google.com/books?newbks=0&id=VyrUAAAAMAAJ&dq=%22Susan+Githuku%22%2C+1987&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=Jane

Thanks Sollyucko I cannot see that in the snippet I get from Mexico's version. (It automatically changes the .com link to .MX *sigh*) I'm willing to take your word for the 1987 bronze, but I still need info on 1984. SusunW (talk) 20:42, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What happens if you search for Jane? Even for me (at a large public university in the US), some searches that should work instead give me blank pages, random locations on the page, or entirely missing results.
The relevant text I see is:

Judy Wakhungu, pairing with Louisa Wekesa, and Susan Githuku with Jane Davies-Doxzon, also lost their women's doubles semi-finals clashes, only managing to win bronze medals for Kenya.

— p. 45
I'll also try searching the databases I have access to through my university and my local public libraries when I get a chance.

Thanks Sollyucko I appreciate the quote. I totally get that information in the mid to late 20th century is hard to find as it is rarely digitized or if it is, is still in copyright so not available. Then there is the whole issue of information availability differences in various markets, which complicates things further. It truly often takes a village to write an article and I genuinely appreciate the help. SusunW (talk) 14:07, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jennifer Lynne Michael: The Ring of Voices

I'm interested in Jennifer Lynne Michael: The ring of voices. Rounds from Anglo-American tradition. Dissertation. Thesis (M.A. in Folklore)--University of California, Berkeley, Dec. 1988. As far as I can see, this book is only available in some U.S. libraries: Berkeley ([29]), Mississippi ([30]). However, GoogleBooks has it ([31]) and HathiTrust has it ([32]).

I am interested in the whole book if possible, but especially in everything concerning the song (catch, round): Hey ho, nobody home and its variations: "Hejo, spann den Wagen an" (German) as well as "Nose, nose, nose, nose" resp. "Rose, rose, rose, rose" and "Ah poor bird".

The request is for the German article de:Hejo, spann den Wagen an but could also be useful for an English article about "Hey ho, nobody home".

Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be on ProQuest. Based on Google Books and HathiTrust searches for all of those titles, it looks like the relevant pages are: iv, 6, 31, 71-74, 238, 243, 248, 252, 255, 258, 262, 302, 346. If no-one else can do it for a few days, ping me and I'll try to request a scan via interlibrary loan of pp. "iv,6,31,70-75,237-263,302,346" (there seems to be a 30-character limit).

I'll try to poke a little with the search results, maybe I can provide a promising selection.Mautpreller (talk) 11:59, 17 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
