IAUC 9277[edit]
I'm seeking to add information about the ongoing nova eruption of V5669 Sagittarii to List of novae in the Milky Way galaxy however the circular for it requires a paid subscription. Can anyone link it here? --201.53.53.234 (talk) 20:21, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
Bull Arab (dog) encyclopaedic reference[edit]
I am looking for encyclopaedic reference on the Bull Arab, an Australian dog. They are typically described as comprised of 50% English Bull Terrier, 25% Greyhound and 25% German Short Pointer. The breed is not yet registered but has become very popular in Australia. I don't have easy access to a library full of dog books, but seeking assistance from someone who does who could check the literally dozens (if not hundreds) of dog reference books and find references.AWHS (talk) 09:53, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
- Can I add that I have trawled Google and found virtually every online reference, newspapers, etc. The chief problem is that most are not encyclopaedic references, so little detail like height, weight etc needs to be supported. AWHS (talk) 00:02, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

- Dr Lol, thanks for the effort on sending me the copy of pages of the article from Bungeishunju, although seems to I made a mistake with the pages, due to the article might begin in a few previous pages, I do not know exactly, but you can think the same if look at page 86: it has not a title. Can you please see if I am right and begins before? If yes, would it be possible to obtain them? Thanks. --Zerabat (talk) 04:04, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Weik article and Florida Bicentennial Trail[edit]
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)
- 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)
- 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)
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)
- Okay, I noted earlier this week that it was a preview and not the full article. SciGal (talk) 16:15, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
- Personally, I would like to have the full article, please. SciGal (talk) 16:33, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
- @SciGal: I've revived this stale request. I've sent the Ethnogenesis article on October 14th 2015. I also unremoved the striked out second reference because you have not received the Tampa Tribune article. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 19:49, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
- Personally, I would like to have the full article, please. SciGal (talk) 16:33, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
Overview or reference works or articles on Jews as an ethnic group[edit]
I am seeking shortish pieces, along the lines of encyclopedia or dictionary articles, relating specifically to how Jews are described or defined in terms of ethnic groups and ethnoreligious groups. Yes, I know there are a lot of such articles, and any and all would be welcome, to help provide an indicator of how other reference sources deal with the topic. Two specific sources which might be particularly relevant include the articles in the Harvard Encyclopedia of Ethnic Groups and Ethnic Groups of Europe: An Encyclopedia, but any other similar works of a similar focus would be particularly useful.
This request is being made pursuant to an existing comment at WP:NORN#Definition of Jews. Gross original research/WP:SYNTH violation regarding complaints about the lead of the article on Jews. John Carter (talk) 17:02, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
- John Carter, are you looking for more general pieces, such as the Oxford English Dictionary entry and the Britannica article, or are you looking for more focused sources, such as the two you cite? John M Baker (talk) 19:54, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
- The two specifically mentioned might be the most useful, given their focus. But, at the same time, any other encyclopedic type works like like Encyclopedia Britannica or any other works of a roughly encyclopedic nature regarding the topic might help indicate how they structure their lede section, which seems to be the basis of the problem here.John Carter (talk) 19:56, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
- John Carter, I've emailed you the "Jew" articles from Britannica, the OED, Merriam-Webster Unabridged, The Oxford Companion to the Bible, and A Concise Companion to the Jewish Religion. John M Baker (talk) 22:08, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
- John Carter, I've emailed you the article on "Jew" from Encyclopaedia Judaica and the article on "Jews and Judaism" from Encyclopedia of Race and Racism. John M Baker (talk) 20:19, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
- @John M Baker: Thank you, sir. If at any point I can reciprocate in any way, please let me know. John Carter (talk) 21:03, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
- John Carter, I've emailed you the article on "Jew" from Encyclopaedia Judaica and the article on "Jews and Judaism" from Encyclopedia of Race and Racism. John M Baker (talk) 20:19, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Robert Ira Lewy[edit]
Can someone verify the claims, at Robert Ira Lewy, that he published:

TIA,LeadSongDog come howl! 20:43, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
- @LeadSongDog: Google Scholar doesn't mention either of these articles under his page, but NYU says yes. I also found them referenced here on Google Books (Reference #71 and #64). I'd say yes that he published them, but I'd like to get access to these journal articles to be 100% sure. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 21:10, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
- @LeadSongDog: Update: I've found these references cited in another article by him in Immunology of Silicones which confirms the above Google Books linkC. (see references section). However, I don't have access to either of these journals nor the Immunology of Silicones book.--MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 23:53, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, thank you, it seems odd that we can't find a PMID nor a DOI for these papers, unless they have since been retracted? LeadSongDog come howl! 06:53, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
- @LeadSongDog:That could be possible. Are you looking for the actual articles, or just confirmation that he wrote these articles?--MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 21:58, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
- Confirmation that they were published. The suspicion is that they were incorrectly cited in the book, but there are other possible explanations.LeadSongDog come howl! 07:34, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

@Zigzig20s: That obituary is locked on the Times website. However, I've found a article from Sept 9 2009 that includes a brief obituary of him. Would you like this article? --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 03:44, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
Rusty Tailed Flycatcher[edit]
I have recently taker pictures of a small bird, I think is a 'Rusty Tailed Flycatcher' Has anyone else seen them in Cyprus. I have pictures but I can not add them to this request.
- If I'm understanding your question you are asking if that bird is known to exist in Cyprus. If that is what you are asking this unfortunately is not the place for such questions. The Resource Exchange is for people looking for specific references: journal articles, old newspaper articles, etc. to use to edit Wikipedia. If you have a general question the place to ask it is the Wikipedia:Reference_desk Go there and navigate to the page for science. If I'm not understanding your question please say a bit more about what you are looking for. --MadScientistX11 (talk) 15:46, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
- Also, have you checked this article: Rusty-tailed_flycatcher? It has some info on the habitat. --MadScientistX11 (talk) 15:48, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
- For what it's worth, I don't think there is any chance of this species occurring in Cyprus, Spotted Flycatcher is more likely, but you won't get a definitive answer until you upload your images. When you do, let me know and I'll comment again Jimfbleak - talk to me? 16:13, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

Photos of Fan Noli from book[edit]
Founding a Balkan State: Albania's Experiment with Democracy, 1920-1925 (google books, worldcat). Looking for the photo on page 85 of Fan Noli, which may or may not be the same photo as File:FAN NOLI.jpg. If it is the same, could you add that source to the Commons image page, so the photo isn't deleted? If it's not the same, could you scan and upload it? (It would be PD-US given that he was living in the US at that time.) The photo on page 86 would also be good if you are able to scan/upload (1922 from Boston, PD-US). There may be other photos that are pre-1923 that are not PD in the country of origin (Albania) and could be uploaded to en.wikipedia but not Commons. Thanks, Calliopejen1 (talk) 17:30, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
Request for book review[edit]
Hi, I am trying to get a copy of book reviews for The Ex-Wives, a novel by Deborah Moggach first published in April 1993. Specifically I am after the reviews from the Sunday Times and the Daily Telegraph, excerpts of which are provided on http://www.deborahmoggach.com/index.php/the-ex-wives I suspect the reviews will date from around April 1993. I am writing an article on the novel and am trying to populate the Reception section, Thanks GrahamHardy (talk) 17:48, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
- GrahamHardy, I can forward you the Sunday Times review if you enable email on your Wikipedia account. Alternatively, you can email me and I'll reply with the review. John M Baker (talk) 19:34, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

- @GrahamHardy, Daily Telegraph ISSN 0307-1235 – will likely require manual lookup, so would be helpful to have a specific date/page czar 21:03, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
@Czar: The book was published in April 1993, so it could be during or after April 1993. That's my best guess. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 01:04, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
- Right, but I think the burden is on the requester to pull a more specific citation before sending someone to skim through multiple months of newspapers. czar 03:21, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
- @Czar: True, but there isn't a specific date based on the above link. This is a rough guess. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 03:57, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
- Right—I'm saying that this request has next to no chance of being fulfilled unless someone (the requester?) finds the full citation, including the date czar 04:05, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
- I have no date as per the original quote from the Deborah Moggach website, never mind, Thanks GrahamHardy (talk) 08:43, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
- @Czar: I checked Gale group which has Nov. 2000 - present, and it wasn't there. I've asked @John M Baker: for some help. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 15:47, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
- Sorry, but if I could have gotten this review I would have done so when I got the Times review. I only have access to the Daily Telegraph from October 2000. John M Baker (talk) 16:12, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
- @John M Baker: @Czar: So that means it should be somewhere between April 1993-October 2000. At least it narrows it down a bit. What date did you find the Sunday Times article? I'd assume that the other review would be around the same time too. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 18:28, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
- The Times review was April 23, 1993. John M Baker (talk) 03:56, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

Note that google scholar will find you a pdf but that is only an excerpt.
This link says so-called "Tibetan singing bowls" are a Western invention from the 1960s, in which case singing bowl is almost a hoax article. The link is a personal website from an anthropology student, so hardly good enough, hence the call for the primary reference it quotes.
Any related material from reputable sources is appreciated, of course.

Looking for articles from The Grand Rapids Press, unsure of date[edit]
Have hard copies of these articles, but am unable to find online links that I can cite them too. Articles are are cut out from full newspaper pages, so not all information is accessible.
1) Titled "Owner of sport Center proves that a career change can pay off"
Author: Robert Trost Publisher: The Grand Rapids Press Quote from first Paragraph: "The 1936, 10 1/2 pound, Detroit-made Clarke Troller hanging on a wall near the front entrance to Van's Sport Center at 1855 Alpine St NW is dwarfed by the 1992, v-6, 150 horsepower Evinrude outboard motor displayed below."
2) Title: "Van's Specializes in repairs"
Author and publisher unknown Quote: "With 11,000 square feet indoors and 2 1/2 fenced acres outdoors, Van's Sport Center has plenty of room to store and repair marine equipment"

- Greeting Molly. Just FYI: you don't have to have an online version to use it as a Wikipedia reference. It is best if you do but its not a requirement. Although, you do need some basic info such as the name of the paper, magazine, etc. where the reference was published so IMO number 2 is not a legitimate reference. I searched for both but couldn't find them, perhaps someone else will have more luck. Also, if you are going to be editing I suggest you establish a Wikipedia user ID rather than using your IP address. It just takes a second and it makes it easier to collaborate with other Wikipedians. Cheers. --MadScientistX11 (talk) 17:09, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Sources for The Life and Death of 9413: a Hollywood Extra[edit]
I'm working on The Life and Death of 9413: a Hollywood Extra (MrLinkinPark333 (talk · contribs) has already helped me get one source as requested above). While I think it will be close to GA-worthy status soon, there are a few sources I'd like to get my hands on so I can eventually bring it up to FA. Most of these sources I've seen used as references in other sources that I was able to access. But the ones below I have not been able to get, so I'm hoping to see if anyone can help me get some or all of them.

Linkin Park album reviews[edit]
Hello. I am currently looking for reviews of Linkin Park's albums Hybrid Theory and Meteora:
- NME January 13, 2001 p. 35. Might be the same as this archived review on their website. I would like to compare them and see if they are the same or not.
- Q Magazine January 2001 p. 111. There might be a typo in the article of the lead singer's name. It's Chester Bennington, not Chester Bellington.

Shirnengiin Ayuush[edit]
Hello.
I'm having trouble finding relilable sources for Shirnengiin Ayuush. I'm not quite sure if this is a real person or not. The references given don't seem to mention him, but I'll like to double check before nominating for deletion.
- Studies on Mongolia: proceedings of the First North American Conference on Mongolian Studies Volume 1978 by Henry G. Schwartz (1979)
Mongolia: a profile by Viktor Porfirievich Petrov (1970) p. 131Culture and the Asian tradition by J. F. Conceicao (1974) p. 95.
Searching via the given Google Books links doesn't mention him. His last name may be Ayush or Ayusi, but I'm not getting anything. There is also a link to an Encyclopedia Britannica that mentions his name, which could mean there's an article in there about him. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 05:52, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
- The Britannica article on Mongolian Literature mentions in passing that a Shirnengiin Ayush (Ayusi) died during the purges of the late 1930s. John M Baker (talk) 02:08, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- I did see that. I thought because he was mentioned briefly in the article, there might be a full article in the encyclopedia on him as well. Guess not. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 02:47, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- No other references in Britannica to Ayusi, Ayush, or Ayuush. John M Baker (talk) 06:00, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- Alright, I crossed out that part. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 20:06, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- Just looking at what is available on Google Books for the references cited in our article, I note that Conceicao mentions him (as S. Ayush) and Petrov mentions his opera, Princess Dolgor and Arat Damdin (mentioned in our article as Arat Damdin and Princess Dolgor). There is apparently a reference to the opera in Schwarz, too, although I can't tell what it says. So it appears to me that this was a real person. John M Baker (talk) 01:18, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
- Did you look using those links provided in the references? I see no mentions of his name in any of the Google Books. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 01:31, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, using those links I searched for the three spellings of his name (there may be others I don't know about, since it's a transliteration of whatever they speak in Mongolia), and I searched for "Dolgor," with the findings mentioned in my previous post. John M Baker (talk) 03:05, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

Mirror Neurons May Help Songbirds Stay in Tune
Greg Miller
In work published this week, researchers describe mirror neurons in songbirds that fire when a bird sings or hears another bird sing a song similar to its own, a finding that may pave the way to insights into how songbirds learn and maintain their complex songs.

Request for document cited multiple times in International Crimes Tribunal (Bangladesh)[edit]
Hi, I'm looking for Haq, M. Zahurul (5 August 2011). M.N. Schmitt, Louise Arimatsu, T. McCormack, ed. Yearbook of International Humanitarian Law - 2010 (1st ed.). Springer. p. 463. ISBN 978-9067048101. which is cited multiple times in International Crimes Tribunal (Bangladesh). Based on what I found online (no access to the full document) the original publication doesn't run more than 400 pages so at a minimum I think that needs to be fixed. More specifically, I'd like to know if the source confirms that the UN initially supported the tribunal and whether the US offered assistance, which the citation is used to justify in the entry. Thanks!--Bangabandhu (talk) 07:06, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
- @Bangabandhu: If this is the right one on Springer, the book is almost 700 pages (including the reports, schemes, and bibliography). The article you need starts on p. 462 in the chapter named Correspondents reports. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 19:12, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
- @Bangabandhu: I was able to find the relevant page online here, and have added the url to the citation in the article. I haven't checked it word-for-word, but at first reading it seems to support the statements where cited. Worldbruce (talk) 06:43, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
- @Worldbruce: Thanks for the link. I think I was confused by an incomplete listing of the table of contents which excluded the "Correspondent's Report" section. Bangabandhu (talk)
- @Bangabandhu: Are you looking for the actual article itself, or confirmation that the article supports the reference? --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 21:10, 28 December 2015 (UTC)
- My main concern was the accuracy of the citation, which I'll accept as confirmed. I would like to read the article, though I sense from the list of queries on this page that there are other, more pressing requests. Thanks for your help. Bangabandhu (talk) 05:44, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

- William Afong Kaipo Kuamo'o (2006). The History of My Kuamo'o-Sun Family of Hilo & Honolulu, Hawaii. Scottsdale Arizona: OroViejo Publishing.
Is this a real source?--KAVEBEAR (talk) 22:33, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
- @KAVEBEAR: I don't think so. I see hits on ancestry sites, but I don't believe it's legit. I've also found another source attributed to him:
- William Afong Kaipo Kuamoo (April 2010). "The PoʻoKahuna Prince Who Would be King of Hawaii: The Battle of Kuamoo". Oʻiwi: The Native Hawaiian Journal (University of Hawaii Press) 4.
If I look at volume 4, his name isn't there. He also claims that it's located in one of the libraries at the University of Hawaii, but a search on the university's library catalog gives nothing. Also note: this supposed author has been vandalizing talk pages using different IP addresses. See here and here. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 00:11, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
Yeah, I tried searching "OroViejo Publishing" but found nothing and wonder if he just made that up. --KAVEBEAR (talk) 20:16, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

Paradise of the Pacific[edit]
I am trying to find information about the publisher, the publishing location, the volume number and issue number for the April 1956 issue of Paradise of the Pacific.
- @KAVEBEAR: It should be Vol 68, No. 4. And if i've located the right one in Worldcat, it was published by E.A. Langton-Boyle in Honolulu. The magazine was renamed to Honolulu magazine in 1966. I'll keep looking. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 22:01, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
- @KAVEBEAR: A search of the University of Honolulu's catalog confirms it. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 22:16, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
- I am still not sure about the publisher since that magazine seem to switch publishers a few times during its existence. Why does the worldcat link says 1935?--KAVEBEAR (talk) 22:21, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
- That was one of the issues I found on worldcat of the magazine.
I didn't find that specific issue though besides ebay and other auction sites.I did find Vol 68, No. 5 at Hawaii State archive catalog, and it says Press Publishing Co., Honolulu. But I'm not sure if that's it. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 22:25, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
