Making a request

[edit]

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

[edit]
  • 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.

1906 article in Arts and Crafts

[edit]
  • Maryon, Herbert (March 1906). "Metal Work". 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.

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]
Comparing earlier mentions of Arts and Crafts in The Globe with https://archive.org/details/artscrafts01londuoft confirms that the publisher is Hutchinson & Co. The listing in the catalog of the National Library of Scotland indicates that this is v. 4, no. 22.
My request "has been cancelled by ILL staff for the following reason: Unable to find supplier / The only library that owns this particular year has it as an electronic subscription and they do not have the license to lend it."
I've replied to ask if they can at least provide metadata, as well as sending them a list of libraries that seem to have it in print, narrowed down to Queen's, NLS, and Cambridge, which say they have vol. 4.
Solomon Ucko (talk) 16:10, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Usernameunique: Is this still needed? A few of my friends are attending Queen’s in the fall, and I could ask them to see if they can get it. Barring that, I can try an ILL, but again, that’ll have to wait until fall. ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 06:13, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I can request this from Queen's. ILL here is usually pretty quick and the librarians are wizards, so I've got some hope. -- asilvering (talk) 13:48, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mosler Bullion

[edit]
  • A History of Mosler. Mosler, Inc., Form 9983-5M-1099. 1999.


United States Bullion Depository cites this source to claim that the vault doors used the latest torch-and-drill-resistant material of the time. However, it doesn't include a date, and I'd like to verify this claim.

This is OCLC 2900302, apparently held only at the Cincinnati Public Library and the Miami University Libraries. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 23:56, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Brookfield53045: You seem to have added this citation to the article; can you help us out by providing any clarification about the source, such as any additional metadata, or any information about where/how you found/accessed it?
In particular, here are some things I'm confused by:
  • Other references I've found to something titled "History of Mosler" (e.g. OCLC 2900302, 7166046, [2], [3], [4]+[5], [6], [7], [8]) agree on the following:
    • It was published in March 1973 — not 1999
    • It was written by Robert Rosberg
    • It is 42 pages long
    • It was published as a special issue of Mosler Safe Company's bimonthly magazine Mpulse — I haven't tried too hard, but I haven't found any information about this magazine in any other context so far
    • The subtitle is "manufacturers of fire and burglar proof safes, vaults, locks, etc."
      • One reference says the title is "Mosler, Bahmann & Co."
    • This results in the following consensus citation: Rosberg, Robert (March 1973). "History of Mosler: manufacturers of fire and burglar proof safes, vaults, locks, etc". Mpulse. Mosler Safe Company.
    • Do you know if any of this information is correct?
  • I couldn't find anything related to "Form 9983-5M-1099"; where does this come from, and what does it mean?
  • FTR, I tried searching for "The most famous, if not the largest, vault door order", the first few words of the quote you added, in Google, Google Books, HathiTrust, Internet Archive, ProQuest (access through the Wikipedia Library and through my university), and Gale (likewise), and the only matches I found were a few websites and articles that appeared to be copying from Wikipedia. So most likely this is just a rare item that either hasn't been digitized or perhaps is only available in some obscure database.
Any thoughts?

Looking for one book

[edit]

Looking for one book. I only remember the beginning of the piece. Some guy found a derelict computer, sat down at it and started doing something, and then he saw a man with a gun walk up to the desk, they looked at each other in silence for a while, then the guy mechanically pressed the Enter button and the man shot him back. The work was read in the 1990s or very early 2000s. The piece appeared no later than the 1990s (probably earlier). I also remember that the guy was doing something enthusiastically on the computer: at first he typed without looking at the screen, but the message on the computer monitor made him do his work more slowly and carefully. The phrases went something like this. The message on the computer screen made him work more carefully. Behind the desk stood a man with a gun in his hand. The guy had never seen a real gun, except in the movies, but he knew immediately what it was. The guy's hand dropped mechanically to the Enter button, and the same second the black muzzle of the gun burst into flames, ending his life.

December 1964 Chicago Tribune article

[edit]
  • "Henning Gets International Swim Post". Chicago Tribune: 155. December 17, 1964.

Trying to sort out the copyright status of File:HenningHaroldDr.Swimmer.png to determine whether it can be used in Hal Henning. The file's uploader states the photo comes from the article "Henning Gets International Swim Post" that appeared on page 155 of the December 17, 1964, issue of the Chicago Tribune, but there was no attribution. Since the Tribune copyrighted all of its 1964 issues, an original photo taken by a Tribune staff photographer would most likely be under copyright protection until 2060. A search of "Henning Gets International Swim Post" for December 1964 on newspapers.com, however, gets 35 matches, and this might mean the story was a wire story picked up multiple papers, one of which might attribute the photo. I don't have a newspapers.com account, but perhaps someone who does can take a look to see whether any of those 35 matches (minus the Tribune) actually show the same photo and attribute it in some way, or whether the article itself has a by-line.

Thanks, -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:27, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW if you search with quotation marks around the phrase (exact match search), you only get 3 results, with all 3 being Chicago Tribune. I checked a couple results from your query and a couple results from "Dr Henning"/"Harold W. Henning"/a quote from the Chicago Tribune article + Dec 1964 and I don't see that photo anywhere else.

page layout of article in The (Weekend?) Australian

[edit]

For You've Never Seen Everything.

This article contains multiple reviews back-to-back, split over multiple lines with no separators and no labels. I have access to the full text of this article through the 3 providers I linked, but they're all formatted as plain text with confusing layout, rather than page scans. Factiva tries to group some lines together, but their choice of how to split up the reviews doesn't match what makes sense to me.

The container is cited as The Australian by Factiva, The Weekend Australian by Nexis Uni, and both by EBSCOhost. Through the Wikipedia Library, we have access on ProQuest to both The Australian ("1 Edition") and Weekend Australian ("1 - All-round Country Edition") for this date, but neither of them seems to include this article, and the articles there are formatted as text rather than images anyways.

Does anyone have access to a hard-copy or an actual page scan of this? NewsBank might be useful for this if someone has access to it.

Thanks, Solomon Ucko (talk) 15:43, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just to clarify it a little: there is The Australian newspaper. Its Saturday edition includes the insert magazine titled The Weekend Australian Magazine. June 28, 2003 was Saturday. That said, though, the article about the newspaper says that "Saturday lift-outs include 'Review', focusing on books, arts, film, and television", so I think that's the newspaper itself (The Australian), not the magazine.

Kriegszeit, Liechtenstein 1939 bis 1945

[edit]

For Liechtenstein in World War II. This book has two editions, and goes into detail about Liechtenstein's experience during World War II, I would like to use this to be able to expand it and make it it's own article. If anyone has a university or something that has either of these editions and can can get me a digital copy of some kind I would highly appreciate it. It costs 70 euros to buy a physical copy, which is a hefty sum.
