Wikipedia:WikiProject Resource Exchange/Resource Request

See also WP:MHL#LIBRARY for military history resources

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.

Skip to ↓ table of contents ↓   ↓ bottom of page ↓

Making a request:

• A request may be an open question for more information on a specific subject, or you may ask for a specific article or work where you have a reference but lack the full 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.
• To make a request, either contact directly one of the people who have listed themselves below under Direct contact or folllow 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, E-mail options".
• Start a new section at the end of the 'New requests' section at the foot of this page and sign with your username. 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, it speeds up the whole process. Try to provide a DOI for an electronic document or an ISBN for a book.
• 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.
• If you decide to transfer an electronic document to the requestor this will normally be done either (a) by giving a URL ( http://... ) pointing to a web resource or (b) by email to the requestor.
• (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. For example http://ifile.it allows documents to be uploaded even if you do not have a registration there.
• (b) Email, particularly for sending a document as an attachment:

• If you have configured a Wikipedia email address ("My preferences, User profile, E-mail options"), edit the relevant section on this page asking the requestor to email you using "E-mail this user" so you may reply to them.
• Alternatively, and provided the requestor has configuted a Wikipedia email address, by going to their user page and clicking "E-mail this user" you can send a text message (but not an attachment) which will give the requestor your own email address. In your message ask the requestor 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 requestor's reply with a second message which includes the relevant attachment.

An Occasional Paper

Hi All,

This one might be slightly difficult. The journal (and occ. papers) exist only as hard copy, and no libraries in my vicinity carry a copy. If anyone has access to it as a hard copy, i would be massively appreciative of a copy, or even just the abstract.

Smith, J.L.B. 1968. Studies in carangid fishes No. 4. The identity of Scomber sansun Forsskal, 1775. Occasional Papers of the Department of Ichthyology, Rhodes University No. 15: 173-184

OCLC 623732 says Library of Congress or University of Kansas only. Anyone nearby those that can check? LeadSongDog come howl! 17:02, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

The University of Kansas catalog shows additional info, e.g. the authors was "Smith, J. L. B. (James Leonard Brierley), 1897-1968", with illustrations by "Margaret M. Smith" (Margaret Mary Smith) Also, the publication date is close to the author's death date, which suggests other investigations. The "Department of Ichthyology, Rhodes University" was renamed after him as "The J.L.B. Smith Institute (J.L.B.S.I.), Grahamstown" in 1968, and is now the "South African Institute for Aquatic Biodiversity". The present publishers of the J.L.B. Smith ichthyological bulletin as here may also be able to assist. LeadSongDog come howl! 21:27, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Interview with Michel Amours (gay adult film actor)

The text of this source, "Interview: Michel D Amours by Erik Milford". Manshots 10.2. November 1997. OCLC 30846924 would be handy to substantiate the article. Any other interview details to support biographical data would be welcome. Ash (talk) 13:23, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Guinness Book of World Records

Anyone with access to the Guinness Book of World Records? Older editions as well which might have listed other items which have since been replaced? I'd like to know what the hottest chili pepper listed circa 1970 is. I would also like to confirm what animal has the largest eyes in proportion to its body size. Thanks in advance for anyone who can help. Lambanog (talk) 20:53, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

From the 1975 edition: "The hottest of all spices is the capsicum hot pepper known as Tabasco, first reported in 1868 by Edmund McIlhenny on Avery Island, Louisiana" (p409, Guinness Book of World Records 1975, Sterling Publishing: NY). Does that work?--droptone (talk) 18:21, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Hello thanks for looking it up! In 1975 they still listed the Tabasco as the hottest? Dang, I should have been more specific earlier about what I was looking for. I'm looking for confirmation that the siling labuyo was listed at one time in the Guinness Book of World Records as the hottest chili pepper. What you gave would have worked otherwise. I've heard lots of anecdotal evidence to suggest it was at one time and if the tabasco was listed I'm pretty sure the siling labuyo was too since it is hotter. In case you or anyone else is still willing to take another look-see it should appear in a year before it starts listing the habanero pepper as the hottest. The animal with the largest eyes relative to its body size should be the tarsier. Thanks again! Lambanog (talk) 18:22, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

The 1971 edition is OCLC 8531369, and the scanned 1962 edition OCLC 615740329 is searchable at Hathitrust. A search of it for "hottest pepper" finds: these pages, but for "siling labuyo" it finds only p.264, which is one of those found for "hottest pepper". For "habanero" it finds nothing. The 1963 edition is OCLC 7898454. As you can see these editions are scattered around libraries in the eastern US. For short queries like yours, it may be worth asking a reference librarian at one to check it for you. An interlibrary loan is unlikely for reference books.

The National Police Gazette

I'm trying to figure out if this new Police Gazette is real or not that this user is claiming is still being published. The article previously had it listed as defunct and a new user change it to claim that it is still being published. When asked to source he added references back to the magazine itself. Another user believes this claim might be dubious and maybe a vandal and asked for my help. I'm looking for any "The National Police Gazette" magazine after 1983 and trying figure out if its affiliated with the original at all to prove that is actually not defunct.

Dave Meltzer, Junkyard Dog, and Who Dat?

I have been trying to locate a copy of the following book in order to verify a fact about the history of the Who Dat? sports chant.

• Tributes: Remembering Some of the World's Greatest Wrestlers by wrestling expert Dave Meltzer, ISBN 9781553660859[2]

The Who Dat? chant is now closely associated with the New Orleans Saints, but it has a long and complex history, including, apparently, use by fans of the professional wrestler Sylvester Ritter, aka Junkyard Dog, in the early 1980s. This connection has been mentioned at Talk:Who Dat?, but hasn't been verified in a reliable source and therefore hasn't been added to the article. A Google Books search implies that Meltzer's book includes text that would verify the connection.[3] Unfortunately, the Google Books search result provides only a hint of the text (without even a page number), and according to Worldcat the nearest library copy of this book is 400 miles away from me, so I have been unable to verify the information satisfactorily. I previously asked about this at Wikiproject Professional Wrestling and received no response[4], so this is probably a long shot. But, if anyone here has access to the relevant text and cite, it would be very helpful to the article. Thanks very much.--Arxiloxos (talk) 22:08, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

John Robert Radclive

I'm planning to write an article on John Robert Radclive (also known as Radcliffe) (the first Canadian hangman who also lost his mind after hanging a corpse).

I'm looking for the following pages from official reports/debates of House of Commons,Parliament in Canada. (The OCLC given doesn't seem to be correct.)

• page 1959 of this 1916 book

• page 1764-1766 of this 1915 book which is the same as this one

If possible, also the conversation of Radcliffe, the hangman, published in the Maritime Baptist of 9th October, 1912.

I'm also looking for several articles in in which Radclive/Radcliffe is mentioned:

• a 1906, 1909 interview with the Starr
• a 1906 headline Hangman Radcliffe a Nervous Wreck
• a 1910 interview with the Telegram
• a 1910 editorial with The Globe

I'd appreciate any historic interview/editorials on Radclive...I've searched a few databases myself to no avail=(. Smallman12q (talk) 21:55, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Re the first, at this Hathitrust image we see p.1959 is from volume 2 of 1916 Hansard Debates, and that it is public domain when viewed in the US. Re the second, we see here that pp.1764-6 are from vol 2 of 1915 Hansard Debates. The newspapers should be available at least from microfilm in major Canadian libraries. There is some material on "John Robert Radclive" in google news archives, including this and this. It is clearly a pseudonym, akin to "John Law" though less widely known. He is briefly quoted here as having "said that visions of the prisoners he hanged between 1892 and 1910 'haunt me and taunt me until I am nearly crazy'". The archives at [5] may also be helpful, though you may need to register to use them. Good luck. LeadSongDog come howl! 19:10, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

The president who proved the medical guidelines wrong — by playing golf

I remember reading about this, not too long ago, but now I am unable to find the details. (I hope WP:RX is an appropriate place for this request).

What I remember is: There was a President of the United States who had had some kind of heart condition for which he received medical attention. Afterwards he was told that he had to refrain from every kind of physical exertion, for a long time, while recuperating, or else it would probably kill him. The advice was along the standard medical guidelines at the time. It therefore really worried his physicians when he completely refused to give up his weekly rounds of golf.
Surprisingly, he did not only survive, but made a remarkable quick recovery. So much so that subsequently the guidelines was changed from warning against physical exercise into, now, encouraging it.

Now I wonder:

RS reviews - Fledgling: Jason Steed

Could someone please help by suggesting where to look for RS reviews of this new Young Adult book. It has been reviewed positively by Kirkus, but needs at least one other RS review. As I'm not sure what RS means, I am a bit stuck. Is this one any good? [6] It seems to be an independent website full of teen book reviews - good, bad and indifferent - rather than a blog.--Itshayfevertime (talk) 06:06, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Well, you may have been unsure about "degree of reliability", but if you were asking for the meaning of the abbreviation: "RS", then:

Thanks, but unfortunately the nearest are over 40 miles away and in Washington, D.C., meaning they're at least an hour and a half away. I currently live in a rural area in one of the neighboring states. So I was hoping I could get the pdf(s), from someone with an institutional login, and then share them with my very small community here.

I see a great many US universities listed, including Georgetown, Catholic University of America, and UVa Charlottesville.

Or you might just ask at your public library if they can get it on ILL.LeadSongDog come howl! 07:12, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

The first two you mention are the ones I was referring to in Washington, D.C. By no American universities listed I mean at the online publisher's website, who have the files. Considering it would cost me a whole day going into Washington, getting it all done, and then going out, it will be cheaper to pay for access to one or two of the pdfs, approximately $30 apiece after fees, and leave the rest for later. DinDraithou (talk) 14:45, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

It sounds like an inter-library loan via your local library may be the way to go for your case. If not, it's almost certain that there's a local wikipedian with priviledges at one of those university libraries who could do it for you. Good luck. LeadSongDog come howl! 19:59, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Pauly-Wissowa: RE, Vol. VII A 2

This goes out to anybody who has access to the University of Michigan Library: I need certain pages from the 8th7th volume (2nd division, Tullius–Valerius) of Pauly-Wissowa's RE. It is this one, the same as this digitised one at Google Books. There are some pages (according to Google pp. 1914 sqq.) with information on the authors of the RE articles which are very hard to obtain. As far as I can see, they don't seem to be in any other specimen of this volume. Being from Germany, I can't take a look at the digitised pages here. If anybody can, please contact me. If somebody knows where the original work can be consulted (the one that was digitised), I will be glad to compensate for any costs if you would be so kind and send me a copy of the pages in question.

No, I don't think any other library will do. Maybe I didn't make myself clear enough: There are thousands of copies of the 7th volume of Pauly-Wissowa's RE in the world. But I need a look at this one copy at Michigan. The extra pages listing the authors (including birth dates) are what I seek, and they seem to be included only in this one copy.

So what I want is to get somebody from Ann Arbor, Michigan to go to the library for me and check out the volume which Google scanned, the one I need, and check it for an alphabetical list of authors (around cols. 1920 sqq.) and make me a copy/scan/whatever of these pages.

Thanks for your time, Jonathan Groß (talk) 16:55, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

You seek series 2, volume 7, part 2 (or possibly part 1), pages 1914 (or possibly 1920) and sequelia, which you think lists authors. Is that right?

Music charting information in Finland and Australia

I'm trying to cite charting information for U2's album The Joshua Tree for Australia and Finland (specifically the charting peaks). This has proved difficult, as there do not seem to be reliable sources online for this. I've browsed through a forum with people posting charting histories and statistics (using books as their sources) and have found the relevant information I need. However, I need to cite the books directly and attribute the information to specific pages. I'm actually guessing at what books these users are citing, and they do not seem to be in print or readily accessible in the United States. Can anyone verify the information is in the books and if so, what the page number(s) is?

• Australian Chart Book 1970-1992 by David Kent - need to know the page number that lists The Joshua Tree's charting peak for Australia (I believe that is #3)
• Sisältää hitin : levyt ja esittäjät Suomen musiikkilistoilla vuodesta 1972 by Timo Pennanen - need to know the page number that lists The Joshua Tree's charting peak for Finland (I believe that is #1)

In any event, an article in Kingston Jamaica's Gleaner quotes from the Daily Express article and I want to look at the source material for more information. By the limited searches the website allows of non-subscribers, it may be the November 18, 1937 edition. Also, although I am looking for this article in particular, I'll take anything else the paper has on him from other dates.

Would another source with his death be useful? - Bilby (talk) 02:49, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

I have many. Date of death is no longer unconfirmed (November 5, 1937 is right). But the farther away from source material, the more unreliable they become. Some say he died while in Scotland. One says he died during one of his performances when his stomach ruptured. One even says he died while falling off a chair in Paris. When you look at newspaper reports closer to the source though, people on the scene in England, you get the straight dope. But the best source is an interview with his daughter who was with him through his illness, taken just days after his death. Among other things, it is the only place where his age is nailed down well, with all other sources giving circa dates (that are off by four years). As I said, it's from Kingston's Gleaner, but that article expressly says that it's excerpting from a larger article in the Daily Express. I've looked hard for alternatives without result.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 04:04, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Mariner's Mirror 1926

(Directed here from a helpful editor at refdesk/humanities.) I'm attempting to transcribe a few articles from Google Books Snippet View, and having apparently run out of bits of text that I can get, I was wondering if anyone might happen to have the journal in question on paper, or in some other form that would enable me to get the missing words.

The first and third sections are complete; I'm looking to fill the lacuna in the second section (at the beginning before "frigate").

I'll re-state here, as I state there, that this is a temporary project, so that I can use the complete articles as references to expand/improve Action of 8 December 1669 - unless I find out that the articles are public domain, I do not intend to put them in article namespace.

Dictionary of Business Biography and Who Was Who

N - no point in cluttering this page with the outstanding requests any longer. The article got GA status without the info, & I can live with that. - Sitush (talk) 00:05, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

I am trying to track down biographical information for the article on Churchill Machine Tool Company and would be grateful if anyone has access to either or both of the Dictionary of Business Biography (ed: David J Jeremy, Butterworths 1984-86, 5 volumes, isbn for the first is 0406273413) or really old copies of Who Was Who could see look into any available entries for:

* Sir Greville Simpson Maginness (born 1888)

• Arthur Chamberlain (d. circa 1941 - not his father, who had same name and who died in 1913) - sorted, thanks to user:Smallman12q
• Herbert Chamberlain (1845-1904)
• Walter Chamberlain (b. 1847)
• Charles Churchill (b. 1838, USA - d. Feb 1916)
• John William Wright Gabriel (b. 1860)

All of the above were directors of Charles Churchill & Co Ltd and/or The Churchill Machine Tool Co Ltd. & they mostly had fingers in many pies.

Also, the article on Maginness in the periodical Sheet Metal Industries, volume 25 (1948) p. 1997 - there is a snippet view here [15]. Long list, sorry, but thanks for any assistance. Sitush (talk) 05:48, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

9/1998 issue of Counseling Today ISSN 1078-8719

In particular a number of on-line sources discuss statistics in the article "Creating a safer school for gay students" by M. Bart in that issue, bullying is quoted there at a rate of 26 per day or 1 per 14 minutes without further clarification. This got questioned at gay bullying as being contradictory. While i think it's more likely that it is not contradictory but simply incomplete (perhaps, say, every 14 minutes during the school day), the right thing to do is to get the stat right from the original source, and all roads lead to "[1] Bart, M. Creating a safer school for gay students. Counseling Today, September 1998". Not directly on google scholar (listed but not even an abstract provided), I'm hoping someone has easy access to the material, and can either provide me a copy or, alternatively, the necessarily clarification as well as page number to put a good cite into the article. Worldcat seems to suggest it's available as an internet resource but gives the closest library with said access that I've found so far at about 100 miles from where I am, not clear if online resources would go back to 1998, any assistance appreciated. --j⚛e decker^{talk to me} 19:26, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Wilbert Rideau articles

Hi! An editor of Wilbert Rideau talked about

• "Dwight Ott, "The Wordman of Angola: Stranded in 'The Jungle,' He Writes..." October 5, 1975, Section One, Page Two.</ref> "

Does this article exist? If so, may I have a digital copy of it so I can read it?

Thanks, WhisperToMe (talk) 14:51, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

The article exists, its referenced in a New York Times book review from 2010 available here. I couldn't locate the 1975 article in LexisNexis, but it would be much easier to see if I could access it in a different source if I knew the newspaper it was printed in. Dwight Ott appears to be a correspondent for the Philadelphia Inquirer. I don't have access to the Inquirer from 1975, assuming he was even there at the time.

I would also like for someone to check to see if the following exist:

• "Angola: Louisiana's Sore That Won't Heal," and "Imprisonment: Steel, Concrete Jungle," and "Veterans in Prison are Nation's Orphans," all July 2, 1975 in the The Shreveport Journal

And if so, what are the page numbers? WhisperToMe (talk) 21:59, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

I would also like to have:

• "Inmate plagiarism suit dismissed." The Advocate. February 13, 1991.

WhisperToMe (talk) 22:08, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

This is going to be a tricky request. LexisNexis only has coverage from the Advocate from 1994 onward and nothing for the Shreveport Journal. Your best bet may be to ask a wikipedian in Louisiana to get these off microfilm. Looks like LSU or the New Orleans Public Library have microfilm for the Shreveport Journal for 1975 per the Library of Congress. GabrielF (talk) 16:31, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Encyclopedia search for Senkaku Islands

I don't have access to a library with major English sources in the country where I live. On Senkaku Islands, we're trying to determine the correct name to use for the article title (they're part of a political dispute between PRC, ROC, & Japan, all of whom use different names). One of the suggestions given in Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names) to determine the common English name is that we "consult English-language encyclopedias (we recommend Encyclopedia Britannica, Columbia Encyclopedia, Encarta, each as published after 1993)." Is there anyone here that could do that for me? What we would need to know is 1) What is the main entry for the islands titled, and 2) are the other names listed in the article and/or the index? The most likely names that it would be listed under are Senkaku Islands, Diaoyu Islands, Diaoyutai Islands, or Pinnacle Islands. They also may not be listed at all, as they're not all that important to countries outside of those involved. Appreciate any help anyone can provide! Qwyrxian (talk) 23:54, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Couldn't find anything in Britannica's online academic edition under those search terms, sorry. GabrielF (talk) 03:43, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

The advice to use encyclopedia entries as the arbiters is somewhat suspect, atlases or gazetteers might be more useful. Scholarly papers here listed are clearly accepting the ambiguous names, except when these papers are clearly tied to one or the other concerned parties. The US, for one instance, has decided to make a policy of not deciding on the matter. The best approach in such cases may be to follow the Derry/Londonderry example, agreeing to prefer one on the more-local articles and the other on the more-regional articles. Thus in this case a choice of the Japanese name for the group would be tied to a choice of the Chinese name for the individual island articles, or vice versa. This maintains an acceptably neutral POV overall. Of course all the articles should also include the "also known as..." as discussed at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names). LeadSongDog come howl! 20:33, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

I actually did check atlases at a US high quality university library; all 5 that I found (4 by US publishers, 1 by an Italian publisher) that mentioned the islands at all called them the Senkaku Islands; only 1 of the 5 even mentioned Diaoyu/Diaoyutai (in the index, not the map, something in the form of "Diayou=Senkaku"), and none mentioned Pinnacle Islands. Unfortunately, the Derry/Londonderry example doesn't work, because while the smaller islands have names, none of them will ever have their own articles as they simply aren't notable enough. The largest is only 4.32 square kilometers, with no inhabitants (for about 50 years at the beginning of the last century there were about 200 people on only the largest); the smallest is about .0008 square kilometers. They're basically interesting to the three countries out of a combination of national pride, fishing rites, and potential underwater mineral/petroleum resources. The reason I'm trying to find encyclopedia references is because the naming guidelines (see [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names)#Widely accepted name) explicitly says that checking major English-language encyclopedias is a good way to check if there is a widely-held English name.

Time Magazine Article from 1959 and Health Physics 1961, one more time

L.T.C. Rolt, - citation request

There is a non-specific citation at Churchill Machine Tool Company that desperately needs a page number. Ideally, I'd like to see the page for myself but the number would suffice, as per WP:AGF. The book is:

L.T.C. (1965), A Short History of Machine Tools, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA: MIT Press, LCCN 65-12439 . Co-edition published as Rolt, L.T.C. (1965), Tools for the Job: a Short History of Machine Tools, London: B. T. Batsford, LCCN 65-080822 .

The statement refers to Charles Churchill visiting England from the US with machinery for braiding crinoline frames & simultaneously bringing over some machinery for Hiram Maxim. I am confident that the bit about Maxim is wrong ... but it could nonetheless actually be what Rolt said. In which case, his footnotes (if any) would come into play.

I'd hope that there is an index for the book & so it would not take much digging about to find the relevant bit. Long shot, I know, but any assistance appreciated. - Sitush (talk) 00:38, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Oxford Journals Digital Archive + location in 16th century London

I've just come across Ladies Hall, which may have been the first girls' school in England, founded in 1615. Which is potentially quite interesting, but details are sketchy to say the least. Review of English Studies (1970) XXI (84): 472-b-473. doi: 10.1093/res/XXI.84.472-b looks like it may say something interesting - on page 2, which is beyond the free access. It needs a sub to Oxford Journals Digital Archive - anyone? Also if anyone can turn up more on Ladies Hall (also spelt Lady's Hall and other variations) beyond the wretched Cupid's Banishment play, that would be great - Google Scholar doesn't seem to have much of interest. Just a location would be really helpful - it seems to have been in Deptford, somewhere near Greenwich Palace. TIA Le Deluge (talk) 22:08, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Great - thanks a lot Gabriel, that was the one, although it raises more questions than answers! You can take it down now, but I'll leave my wider question open a little bit longer. It seems that there's a fair chance most of the sources calling it a school got the idea from Nichols' Progresses of James I, I'd be interested if anyone has any alternative sources on Jacobean social history that have independent evidence of LH as a school. Le Deluge (talk) 19:04, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

No problem. I did a very quick literature search and found a 2005 article about a letter found by the Folger Shakespeare Library recommending the school. The PDF didn't load for me, but I got the text of the article (which includes a transcription of the letter) and posted it online here. This would seem to be a source completely independent of Nichols - although the letter is undated. GabrielF (talk) 19:39, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks again - but I only see one reference to LH, in the first paragraph, which since it mentions 1617 is probably a reference to the masque mentioned by Nichols. The letter seems to be talking about a school in Windsor, which is the other side of London to Deptford/Greenwich. Le Deluge (talk) 19:55, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Variety/Box office figures c. 1974

I'm looking for box office figures for the Don't Look Now article, since currently there is no information about its commercial reception. The article has a shot at FA but is lacking financial analysis. It was released in New York on December 9, 1973 and went national in January 1974 (October 1973 in the UK). If anyone has any copies of Variety from that period, or has access to box office figures from around that time would they do me a favor and look them up? I don't think there is much hope of tracking down worldwide figures, but I'm hoping to find UK, Italian and US. I think the US will probably be the easiest to find. If it mentions the budget I'd be grateful for that too, since IMDB says it cost $1.5 million, but I have no idea where it got that information so would like a more reliable source.

Public Law 86-90

I'm looking for an official (.gov) for the original text of Public Law 86-90 which was a proclamation by Eisenhower in 1959 establishing Captive Nations Week.Smallman12q (talk) 12:10, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

Not sure about that but JSTOR 126589 may be of some use, as may [17]. I'm sure you're already aware of this collection. At this transcript of the 22 July 1959 Eisenhower press conference, it includes

Now, as far as the resolution about the captive nations, this was a resolution by the Congress, asked me to issue a proclamation, which I did; and asked the United States to conduct ceremonies in memory of the plight of such peoples. 1

1 The Joint Resolution (S.J. Res. 111), designating the third week of July as "Captive Nations Week," is Public Law 86-90 (73 Stat. 212). On July 17 the President issued Proclamation 3303 "Captive Nations Week, 1959" (24 F.R. 5773), urging the people of the United States "to study the plight of the Soviet-dominated nations and to recommit themselves to the support of the just aspirations of the peoples of those captive nations."

Accordingly, we might try a search for "73 Stat. 212" or "24 F.R. 5773". The former finds this book which has LBJ's consequent proclamations. It also finds JSTOR 2203718 which mentions it in passing under the title "Repealing the Cold War". Hope some of this helps.LeadSongDog come howl! 23:25, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

I found the same link while googeling earlier, but I'm afraid that's not the correct journal. Thanks anyway. P. S. Burton (talk) 14:36, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

JSTOR no help either, brings up the same as in the link given above- that is, that the Provincial Medical Journal existed under various extended names from 1840 through to 1852, then merged with the London Journal of Medicine. sonia♫ 21:36, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Perhaps [18]? The volume/year seem about right, as shown here. See also OCLC 20878918 which may be the same one as shown here. Sound right?LeadSongDog come howl! 22:48, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Great. That seams to be it. How do I go about to get a hold of a scan or copy? P. S. Burton (talk) 17:45, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Several options exist. It should be available by Interlibrary Loan from the Center for Research Libraries at this entry to any member institution. This includes nearly all major university research libraries in the US, as listed here. A user of any of those institutional libraries should be able to request a PDF of the paper at no charge.

Volcanology in New Mexico

Resolved

Hi, I'm looking for a paper that is referenced in our article on the geologic formation Shiprock in New Mexico.

• Steven C. Semken, The Navajo Volcanic Field, in Volcanology in New Mexico, New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science Bulletin 18, p. 79-83, 2001. ISSN 1524-4156

Can someone provide me with a scan of those five pages please? TIA --h-stt !? 08:47, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Hmmm, I see a similar work cited on p.124 of this book, which might relate to this paper, but you are more likely looking for OCLC 49875944, also catalogued as OCLC 612106352. It seems to be fairly widely held. LeadSongDog come howl! 21:46, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Yes, the last two OCLC-signatures are the book from where I would need this one article. Thanks for the search. Someone around with access? --h-stt !? 12:19, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

Perhaps this is available directly to you? LeadSongDog come howl! 13:02, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

Place your request at the German couterpart of this page: de:WP:BIBA. Both the magazine and the book are held by German libraries and will be delivered to you within short time. --тнояsтеn ⇔ 17:41, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

I did not mention that the Munich copy is unavailable, maybe lost at the library where it is recorded. Of course I tried to get it myself there first before making requests here. On this attempt I spent about half an hour with a librarian in a charming little library just off a balcony that is overlooking some mounted dinosaurs. While the librarian tried to locate the publication and did not find it, I browsed through early editions of Darwin's Origins of Species and Descent of Man. I love libraries and I know my way around them. Please deal with this request and me as a capable, long term Wikipedian and avid contributor to the corresponding Germany counterpart of this page. I do know what I am doing and I know why I am asking here. Again: I am looking for a scan of a short excerpt of a fairly widely available publication, can someone please help me get it? --h-stt !? 13:12, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Don't get me wrong... I'm a German Wikipedian as well and I didn't want to push you off. The magazine is held at Frankfurt University, the book at FU Berlin and TU Freiberg. So I thought, you could be able to get the scan quite fast over there. If that's not possible we'll have to wait for someone resolving this for you here.

Abraham Reuel

The article Abraham Reuel is currently up for deletion (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Abraham Reuel. Its a very interesting biography with a very small number of English-language sources. One source is a book of Jewish anecdotes which gives the following citation:

• February 1970 issue of "Jewish Digest", pages 47-48

Does anyone have access to this publication?

Additionally, if someone has access to a database of Hebrew-language periodicals from the 60s and 70s, could you search for Reuel Abraham? If this individual is notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia than I'd expect that at least some Hebrew-language sources would exist. Thanks! GabrielF (talk) 03:22, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

1991 article in LA Daily News

Hi, I'm looking for someone who has access to NewsLibrary.com database. I'm looking for the full text of a section called "Film News and Notes" published on 6 December 1991 in Los Angeles Daily News which talks about Academy Award submissions from newly independent countries which were in the end rejected. Here's the link to the item at NewsLibrary. I've tried looking at the Daily News web archive but it only goes back to 1998. I plan using it for reference so I'd need the full text and author name (if there is one credited). I can be contacted on my talk page or via email (the link is there). Thanks a lot! Timbouctou (talk) 07:49, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

I took a look at this via LexisNexis, and found the publication under the name "The Daily News of Los Angeles". Unfortunately LexisNexis only has coverage from January 04, 1997 so no help there - just reporting in case someone else tries looking there. The NewsBank subscription available to me doesn't cover LA Daily News :( Duvin (talk) 09:09, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

Well thanks for looking anyway, I appreciate it :) I suppose we'll have to do without it. Timbouctou (talk) 17:26, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Fake aircraft part articles

• Day, John S. "Cohen derides FAA inspections Senator says thousands of airplanes are built with unapproved parts." Bangor Daily News. May 25, 1995. Start Page 1.

I would like more information for the unapproved aircraft part article Thank you WhisperToMe (talk) 18:20, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

I've put the Bangor Daily News article online for you here. Let me know when you've downloaded successfully so I can remove the link. I only have access to the Ocala Star-Banner from 2002. I SHOULD have access to the Arizona Daily Star from 1990 onwards, however, I can't find the article in Factiva. I've searched a number of different ways and found other articles from that day's issue so I'm not sure why it isn't there. If I have a chance I'll ask a reference librarian what the problem might be. I guess not all articles from a given newspaper are included in certain databases or in every subscription to the database? GabrielF (talk) 16:17, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for getting the Bangor article!

I understand that not every newspaper database has every copy of every newspaper. Try LexisNexis (if you have access to it) and see what it produces... WhisperToMe (talk) 17:20, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

OK, I think I figured out what's going on. The Arizona Daily Star story actually came from the AP, which is probably why it was excluded from Factiva. Newspapers pick their own headlines for AP stories so different versions appeared in different papers. I found a few different versions, the longest of which appeared in the Columbus Dispatch. I've put it online here. I don't have access to the Ocala Star Banner from 1993, but the story was also covered by the Miami Herald, the Sun Sentinal and the Washington Times. I've put those three articles online for you here. GabrielF (talk) 18:32, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for getting the articles!

I'll mark the Arizona Star one as completed, since it's the article I'm looking for

For completeness's sake, I'll keep Ocala unmarked, but I thank you for getting the related articles - They will help me build the unapproved parts article

A History of Ancient and Early Medieval India: From the Stone Age to the 12th Century

Trying to resolve a content dispute which involves pages 558 & 559 of the above book, here at GBooks. I cannot see those pages in the preview.

Author is Upinder Singh (Pearson Education, India) & the ISBNs are 813171120X & 9788131711200. Can anyone get hold of scans for the relevant pages please? I realise that this is a long shot. Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 13:26, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

I can get a scan for you in a couple of days. In case the page numbering for my library's copy is different - you want the section "The Far South" in the chapter Emerging Regional Conflagrations, c. 600-1200 CE, right? GabrielF (talk) 17:05, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Great! Yes, it is the two pages prior to the heading "Religious and political symbolism in the Tanjavur temple", in the section you refer to. As far as I can tell, there is only one edition but let's hope that is correct - I wouldn't want you to be going on some needle/haystack hunt. The entire farrago escalated to ANI today & resulted in a temp block + a two day page protection, so the timing will be perfect. There are a few people thinking that something may have been taken out of context. Me? I just try to resolve sourcing issues in this area, I feel as if by now I must owe you a brewery, let alone a beer. - Sitush (talk) 17:15, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
