The Resource Request is where you can request information on a subject or request a specific article, if you lack a source for a Wikipedia article.

Click here to create a new request
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:

  • A request may be an open question for more information on a specific subject, or you may ask for a specific journal article or work which has been cited but you lack the relevant text. Someone may be able to help you.
  • All kinds of sources are possible here: any newspaper or magazine article, searches in a commercial full-text newspaper or journal databases, searches in academic journal databases, encyclopedia articles, court decisions, laws, academic publications or research results, biographies, etc. (but note that requests for full book scans will not be handled)
  • Be aware that you are perfectly entitled to send a message to the [lead] author(s) of scientific research papers to ask for a copy of their paper directly.
  • If you are looking for a book, have you tried to access it from Google Books? (Be aware, however, that many books in Google Books cannot be entirely consulted online, and in many cases just a few pages can be accessed.) Your local library may also be able to acquire it through interlibrary loan.
  • To make a request, you may either contact directly one of the people who have listed themselves below under Direct contact or follow the procedure here for making a general request on this page.
  • To get email replies without disclosing your email address publicly, configure "My preferences, User profile, Email options".
  • Start a new section at the end of the 'New requests' section at the foot of this page and sign with your username (four tildes). Request specific titles, dates, or a combination of search keywords. You also may specify which database or work to search in. Add as much detail as possible as this speeds up the whole process, including as full of a citation as possible instead of just a weblink. Try to provide a DOI for an electronic document or an ISBN for a book.
  • If you are requesting multiple sources, numbering them (1, 2, 3..) can help to keep the subsequent discussion clear.
  • Keep an eye on your request on this page to acknowledge questions and remarks promptly.
  • Once a request has been fulfilled, add a note to that effect to your request so that the work won't be duplicated by others. The {{Resolved}} template is appropriate. The request then will later be moved to the 'Filled requests' section.

Responding to a request

  • Anyone may offer advice and fulfill requests. People whose library provides access to a relevant database or to an extensive (academic) archive, or anyone who has a personal collection of resources is particularly well placed.
  • Edit any questions and replies into the relevant section of this page. Indicate which part or parts of the request you consider you have answered so others do not duplicate your work.
  • Mark the request using {{ping|REQUESTER_USERNAME}} so that the requester is notified.
  • If you decide to transfer an electronic document to the requester this will normally be done either (a) by giving a URL ( http://... ) pointing to a web resource or (b) by email to the requester.
  • (a) Web document. Edit the URL into the relevant section. If the document is not already on a web server you may be able to upload it to one, provided it is legal for you to do so. Be sure to respect copyrights and terms of services of any online services you use. Copyrighted articles from print publications or copies obtained through online databases (e.g. JSTOR) may not be uploaded for unrestricted distribution via open websites.
  • (b) Email, particularly for sending a document as an attachment:
  • If you have configured a Wikipedia email address ("My preferences, User profile, Email options"), edit the relevant section on this page asking the requester to email you using "Email this user" so you may reply to them.
  • Alternatively, and provided the requester has configured a Wikipedia email address, by going to their user page and clicking "Email this user" you can send a text message (but not an attachment) which will give the requester your own email address. In your message ask the requester to reply so you will learn their email address. Edit the relevant section of this page to tell other people what you are doing. Reply to the requester's reply with a second message which includes the relevant attachment.

More book reviews for De l'un au multiple: Traductions du chinois vers les langues européenes

For De l'un au multiple: Traductions du chinois vers les langues européenes --WhisperToMe (talk) 06:11, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I sent both, but page 382 in Xiuying appears blank to me. I tried downloading twice from ingentaconnect, but same result. --Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 06:44, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
What's really strange is that I also have access to this journal through the ALJC, but for this issue it ends on p. 381! And thirdly I have access through EbscoHost, but it only goes back to Feb. 2003. P. 382 of that issue is the only page of this journal going back to Jan. 2000 which I do not have. --Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 07:09, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I wonder if that page is intentionally blank (the phrase in 381 starts "Ces titres en témoignent de l’objectif: non pour élaborer une théorie de la traduction mais pour mettre en" and in 383... "l’original, en particulier pour la littérature chinoise, mais à séduire le public, ainsi a-til cherché avant tout l’élégance du texte traduit.") ? It would be good to wait for other editors to download from other sources. Thank you for your help WhisperToMe (talk) 07:41, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
My French is subpar, but that sentence doesn't read like sensible French to me: She's saying the titles show the objective of the work, which is not "to elaborate a new theory of translation, but to...", but using "pour mettre en ... l'original," to finish the clause just doesn't make sense to me (set the original?), nor would it with the rest of the sentence. Also, note that the next paragraph then starts: "La troisième partie"; well what happened to the second part? I'm guessing the first word on 382 is "avant" (i.e., "put forward" [a thesis]). --Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 08:55, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. In that case one page definitely is missing. I wonder if somebody with access to another database will be able to get a complete version of this essay WhisperToMe (talk) 18:06, 10 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Avicenna in "Arabic alchemy"

Hi, "Georges C. Anawati (1996), "Arabic alchemy", in Roshdi Rashed, ed., Encyclopedia of the History of Arabic Science, Vol. 3, p. 853–885 [875]" is used as a reference twice in the Avicenna article, once to provide a list of four works by Avicenna, once to support the statement: "Among his works on alchemy, Liber Aboali Abincine de Anima in arte Alchemiae was the most influential, having influenced later medieval chemists and alchemists such as Vincent of Beauvais". Please could someone send me the article, or if that's too much, the relevant pages on Avicenna / Ibn Sina. One of the things I'm interested in is whether Avicenna actually wrote the works listed in the Avicenna article, as another Anawati reference I found said Avicenna did not write three of four works attributed to him. Thanks. --Merlinme (talk) 17:30, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sent. I hate it when sources are misrepresented. Anawati on 375–6 is explicit in saying that he agrees with Ruska that De anima is a fake. --Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 21:41, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I'm afraid the misrepresentation of the source is not exactly a surprise, this is part of the WP:Requests_for_comment/Jagged_85 cleanup. Still clearing up his mess nearly four years later. --Merlinme (talk) 09:35, 17 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
@Merlinme: Thank you for pointing out that case to me. Anecdotally I have noticed such "boosterism"; I guess I'm not the only one. People who take part in such an activity may think they are improving the reputations of their favoured groups, but when their activity is discovered, their groups' reputations are harmed because the groups become associated with this dishonest behaviour. Also, the level of trust about claims on the topic is diminished: If such behaviour were ubiquitous for a topic, then people would simply ignore everything said about the topic, because they wouldn't trust any of it. The topic would become ignored entirely: The exact opposite of what the boosters might hope. And then there is the real harm: The people who have more than a passing interest in the topics start by being misinformed, but then—when they go on to read more on the topic—they become confused due to the conflicting reports, and their whole progress in understanding the topic is retarded. --Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 04:34, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
@Atethnekos:The Jagged_85 case is in a class of its own. I sincerely hope we never see anything like it again. What made his edits so damaging was that they looked like they were well sourced. A lot of editors don't check references; very few indeed check references which are not available online, and Jagged_85 frequently used hard to check sources with incomplete references. This was made far worse by his prodigious output, at one point he was in the top 100 editors by number of edits. He would copy the same bad material with bad references into a dozen articles. Not only does the boosterism cause confusion and perhaps even a backlash against the exaggeration, it's immensely damaging to Wikipedia's reputation. Wikipedia references are supposed to be how you know an article is well-sourced; if you can't trust what look like good references to scholarly articles, Wikipedia is nearly useless. Some of his mistakes have been used as examples in newspapers to show how unreliable Wikipedia is. I was never quite sure if they were mistakes; at the very least, he made definitive statements about things he didn't understand. Sometimes what he wrote was so ridiculous (Avicenna was the first to describe the lever was one of my favourites) then he must surely have known that he was essentially making it up.
It can take 100 hours work to clean-up even one article, given how time consuming it is to track down all the references. It also requires a fair amount of understanding quite difficult sources. One of his favourite tactics was to use an article that mentions X and Y to say that X invented Y, and you have to understand what the article actually does say before you can correct his edit. I did a philosophy degree and I'm happy skimming scholarly articles to get the required information, but I can understand why few others have the understanding and patience to get involved. The time I have available is fairly limited, although I have a bit more at the moment. If you feel the urge to get involved, I'm sure your help would be much appreciated. --Merlinme (talk) 18:38, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

John Lovelady living persons bio

I would very much appreciate some help in finding how to help Jimmartin15 with reliable sources for John Lovelady's biography, as C.Fred has said he knows Mr. Lovelady in person, and has been in contact with the webmaster of a website with a section about Mr. Lovelady, but has had trouble finding if he can even include it without violating WP:COPYRIGHT. Many thanks, Zenvalharo (talk) 04:46, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Zenvalharo - I don't think Jimmartin15 can include the text of or a summary of the text of tgscoaster.com/cast/john-lovelady in Wikipedia since an "Original Fan Website Dedicated To The Great Space Coaster" probably does not meet WP:RS, even if WP:COPYRIGHT can be addressed. It is a good source to use to look for reliable sources. Some source to look at: New York Times pre-1981 search; John J. O'Connor (February 18, 1981), "TV: 'Great Space Coaster,' New Children's Show", New York Times, p. C31; March 13, 1992; November 5, 1995; August 4, 1989; March 18, 2013. -- Jreferee (talk) 19:58, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Cook PVIs

I'm looking for a reliable source for 2010 Cook PVIs for U.S. House districts, i.e. those based on the 2004 and 2008 presidential elections and using the congressional districts that existed prior to redistricting mandated by the 2010 census (rather than those for the districts created after redistricting, which were first used in the 2012 elections). This archived page contains links to the data which presumably worked when it was published in April 2009, but no longer do (though perhaps they work for Cook subscribers)? The information is to be used in the state-by-state articles in Category:United States House of Representatives elections, 2010. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 02:46, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As an example, I believe that you are looking for an online source having a table that includes the 2010 Cook Partisan Voting Index for each of the seven districts mentioned in United States House of Representatives elections in Alabama, 2010, where the Cook Partisan Voting Index itself uses the 2004 and 2008 drawn districts for the 2010 Cook Partisan Voting Index. -- Jreferee (talk) 14:17, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Right. By way of comparison, here's the 2012 chart, which is based on the 2004 and 2008 presidential elections but uses the districts that came into effect in 2012 rather than those used in 2010. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 04:14, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Federico Zeri visiting professorship

I am editting Federico Zeri. His Literary executioner write in bio he had been a visiting professor at Harvard and Columbia. I can't find a more objective source for exactly that. A 1966 report from Villa I Tatti put him as a guest there, (Newsletter I - January 1966.pdf (PDF), retrieved 2014-01-12) but that means staying up to a month. A letter at Harvard Crimson, mentions he had a "lectureship" sometime before 1974 [20]. On a book, Christiane L. Joost-Gaugier mentions him as her first "mentor" in Harvard, where she studied from the late fifties to 1961.[21]. What firmer Harvard (and Columbia) documents can be consulted? --trespassers william (talk) 21:28, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Dictionary of Art Historians, which appears to be RS, mentions that he was a visiting professor at Harvard and Columbia, but does not say when or give any other details. Perhaps some of the sources there cited would be helpful. The school catalogs from the period likely would be primary resources, although those are probably available only at the schools themselves.

United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine

A request at the Help Desk Wikipedia:Help_desk#In_WP_terms raised an issue of whether the language "Lord Curzon, who later succeeded as foreign secretary, wrote" was supported by the source or did the source support "Lord Curzon, a British cabinet member, wrote." The editor PLNR wrote: "Considering that at the time his view was a minority view, which was voted down, and later when he came into the position of foreign secretary, his view haven't effected the British policy in that regard. So basically it used to misleadingly imply that what he wrote had more significant impact that what it did." The language "Lord Curzon, who later succeeded as foreign secretary, wrote" is in the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine article and was added 29 November 2012. The cited reference was The Arabs page 174. The citation reference now is The Arabs pp. 172–175. Please look through pp. The Arabs 172–175 and revise the Lord Curzon sentence in the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine article to reflect a summary of that source. Thanks. -- Jreferee (talk) 14:23, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The exact wording of the source (p175) is "Lord Curzon, who later succeeded Balfour as foreign secretary, wrote in a memorandum". The same emphasis appears in the source on page 188: "As Lord Curzon, who succeeded Balfour as foreign secretary in 1920, said openly in the House of Lords on 25 June 1929:". So this way of characterising Curzon is supported by the source. Zerotalk 06:53, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sterculia khasiana

I am looking for Debbarman's article about Sterculia khasiana In: Assam Forest Records. Botany. Calcutta, India 1: 5, t. 3. 1934 [Jul 1934] (as Stercula khasiana). Unfortunately this work is not available in German libraries but maybe in England or in India. Is someone here who could help me to get this article? Many thanks in advance --Melly42 (talk) 20:26, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is going to be a tough one. WorldCat lists Assam Forest Records. Botany. (OCLC #3994939) as only being available in four institutions: Harvard, the Smithsonian, Oxford, and the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University. You might have to contact an editor who has access to one of those libraries. Gamaliel (talk) 19:15, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Shyamal. I know that source. But it seems that there are two scientific descriptions by Debbarman. The first one (in Assam Forest Records, 1934a) and the second (1934b in Flora of Assam). My question is how can I contact the people who have access to the contemplable libraries. --Melly42 (talk) 11:10, 16 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Melly42: I have posted the request to a Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/indianflora/ will be quite difficult unless there is a motivated Wikipedian who lives in Guwahati, Assam willing to help - I am sure the library of the Assam Forest Department will have a copy.

Lo Nuestro Awards missing nominations

Currently, me and Jaespinoza are looking for nominations for the Past Lo Nuestro Awards as he's getting the category lists to FL. We've managed to get most of them, but we are missing the nominations for the years 1989, 1990, 1992, 1994, 1995, and 2000. For 1989, I could only find the nominations for the Pop Artists field on Google Books and for 2000, I could only find a partial list on both the web, books, and Google newspaper. I've searched everywhere online on Google (including Books and Newspaper), but with no luck. With little choice left, I decided to see if Newsbank possibly has them and it seems they do based on search results, but I do not have the money to purchase the articles or become a member. I do not know how to link the articles I want to see on Newsbank, but I'll post the names of them (I'm assuming they have the nominations).

1989: UNIVISION LAUNCHES LATIN MUSIC AWARDS (Miami Herald), PREMIO PARA ARTISTAS HISPANOS (Nuevo Herald)

1990: AWARDS MAKING CROSSOVER 500 MILLION TO WATCH HISPANIC 'GRAMMYS' (Miami Herald), Latin Music Awards 3 Houston acts earn nominations (Houston Chronicles), ESTA NOCHE, ENTREGA DE PREMIOS LO NUESTRO (Nuevo Heradld)

1992: PREMIO Local artists to highlight awards show By Jim Beal (San Antonio Express-News), La Mafia earns music award nominations (Houston Chronicle),

1994: Luis Miguel candidato a premios Lo Nuestro (Fort Worth Star Telegram), LO NUESTRO, BILLBOARD HONOR LATIN SINGERS (Miami Herald), 'PREMIOS LO NUESTRO': UN PREMIO Y DOS CAMINOS (Miami Herald),

I couldn't find a complete list for those years in a Newsbank search, but that doesn't mean they aren't in a Newsbank article or in some other database somewhere.

According to our article on List of American Aero Squadrons, the 169th Aero Squadron was established on 15 December 1917. It was a planned American Expeditionary Force squadron from 4 March 1918 to May 1919. It trained as an Observation Squadron in England, but never entered combat. It was demobilized in May 1919.

Verification of Japanese Wikipedia's source stating that the perpetrator in Sasebo Slashing having been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome

ISBN-13: 978-4062130417 [22]

I mention this on the article's talk page: [23]

Unfortunately, this book is out of print; while used sources are available, they are hard to have delivered (and expensive) when you live outside of Japan. Apparently, the editors at the Japanese Wikipedia are satisfied this source satisfies the statement that the perpetrator was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome, but I am told that is not good enough for the English Wikipedia. The source appears to be reliable and of high-quality, written by an investigative journalist and published by Kodansha, a major Japanese publisher. An editor of the English Wikipedia would have to verify for themselves the source.

Could an editor here take a look at and verify the source again for the purposes of the English Wikipedia, so the statement may be written in the article Sasebo Slashing?--Beneficii (talk) 22:31, 23 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
