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.

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.

page layout of article in The (Weekend?) Australian

[edit]
  • Shedden, Iain; et al. (June 28, 2003). "Dark Side of the Mon". Review. The (Weekend?) Australian (1 - Preprints / Saturday Preprints ed.). Saturday Preprints Edition. p. B12. EBSCOhost 200306281B12584535. Factiva austln0020030627dz6s00020. Nexis Uni 4900-TCM0-015G-P12J-00000-00.

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.

Tropical Cyclone Report (could be from PAGASA)

For 1977 Pacific typhoon season and User:Tavantius/Typhoon Thelma (1977)

Thanks, Tavantius (talk) 15:04, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Tavantius: Is this what you are looking for? Zerotalk 04:33, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No. The one I'm looking for is published by PAGASA's TC Division. Tavantius (talk) 11:20, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Tavantius:  Doing... I sent an e-mail to information@pagasa.dost.gov.ph asking a request. I hope they reply with a good sign, since I can't find a catalog entry in NLP, UP Diliman Tuklas, Rizal Lib, and Quezon City Public Library. If you'd like anything more, kindly tell me. RFNirmala (talk) 12:32, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Have you received an email from PAGASA yet? Tavantius (talk) 13:14, 13 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
None, sadly. I also tried calling their phone number from PAGASA (dost.gov.ph) and no results. I could walk-in to their office as a last resort, but it would be at most a month before I have the free time to do so.
I sent an e-mail on October 7, and a follow-up on October 12 and today. I also included your request for the 1965 report. RFNirmala (talk) 00:35, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Tavantius, I have bad news. PAGASA provides no response. I've been calling their trunklines multiple times, but they (the local lines themselves, not necessarily the data) are "unavailable" from what I received. I was being directed to different departments, then eventually the data specialists of "1122" line. When I call their local line, I receive that their line in unavailable at the moment. The best I can advise is send an email yourself and be as detailed as possible (e.g. your info: name, organization, which they asked from me). You can ask again in WP:TAMBAY. For me, it would be very unlikely I'll send the cyclone report this month (or year, even). I'm sorry. RFNirmala (talk) 03:04, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
At the very least, thanks for trying! Tavantius (talk) 04:10, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Tavantius: The original is from Cornell University, and I believe the catalog entry is this one. There's a list at the top of the page listing resources editors have access to. One of them mentions they have access to Cornell's collection, so you could try asking them. ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 18:02, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Monograph of the genus Hypericum

[edit]

Hello all, I'm a specialist who's done a lot of work on the genus Hypericum, but my recent work has been stymied because I can't access a source. The main corpus of work on this genus was done by Norman Robson, who produced a monograph over the latter half of the 20th century. The first few volumes are freely available, but I've been unable to find the later volumes anywhere. If anyone has access to these papers or knows where to find them I would be incredibly grateful:

  1. Studies in the genus Hypericum L. (Hypericaceae). 5(2). Section 17. Hirtella to 19
  2. Studies in the genus Hypericum L. (Hypericaceae) 5(1). Sections 10. Olympia to 15/16. Crossophyllum
  3. Studies in the genus Hypericum L. (Hypericaceae) 9. Addenda, corrigenda, keys, lists and general discussion
  4. Studies in the genus Hypericum L. (Clusiaceae). Section 9. Hypericum sensu lato (part 3): Subsection 1. Hypericum series 2. Senanensia, subsection 2. Erecta and section 9b. Graveolentia
  5. Studies in the genus Hypericum L. (Guttiferae) 4(1). Sections 7. Roscyna to 9. Hypericum sensu lato (part 1)
  6. Studies in the genus Hypericum L. (Guttiferae). 6. Sections 20. Myriandra to 28. Elodes
  7. Studies in the genus Hypericum L. (Guttiferae) 8. Sections 29. Brathys (part 2) and 30. Trigynobrathys

And any others you might be able to find! Thank you in advance, being able to access these works will unlock my ability to comprehensively cover this fascinating genus. Fritzmann (message me) 13:29, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Fritzmann2002: #4 is available here through WP:TWL. I've requested the rest via my library and should hopefully have them in the next 24 hours! Bsoyka (t • c • g) 16:33, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Fritzmann2002: Just got a physical copy of #6, and it's 142 pages long. Would it be alright if I share the table of contents and you select the sections you want?

For ObsCure II. A French survival horror game from 2007 and a sequel to the 2004 horror game ObsCure. Dropped the perma-death mechanic the first one became known for. I don't know what the actual review titles are, so I just insterted the game's title based on region to avoid messing up the templates.

The "cladodont level" sharks of the Pennsylvanian black shales of central North America, 1985

[edit]
Cladodont, Stethacanthus, Phoebodus, Symmorium, Elasmobranchii, Symmoriiformes, Fish jaw

I already have access to the 1979 thesis version of this article in full, via this [3] ProQuest link, however I do not have access to the final published draft. This article redefines the Cladodont sharks and provides the initial description for the order Symmoriiformes and significant information on Cladoselache, Stethacanthus, Phoebodus and Cobelodus, as well as many taxa that do not yet have finished articles due to the lack of reliable sources. Additional information is provided regarding the evolution of Elasmobranchii and the evolution of fish jaws, which can also be added to these articles. I am under the impression that theses are not suitable citations for Wikipedia, and I assume a significant amount of revision took place between the publication of the thesis and the final article. I'm not able to provide a paywalled link to the article's 1985 version, nor a DOI.

Huge thank you to anyone who manages to track this down! Gasmasque (talk) 19:02, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requested a digital copy through my library. Not sure if they'll go through with it—I know they have page count limits for what they're allowed to share digitally. If that doesn't work, I have access to a physical copy and can scan at least a few parts myself. Bsoyka (t • c • g) 17:58, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! I know it's a pretty huge paper, so it might not be reasonable to ask you to scan the whole thing. I really appreciate the help, and here's to hoping you can get ahold of the whole thing. Gasmasque (talk) 18:17, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
They just sent me the 1979 copy from ProQuest... I'll grab the physical copy in around a week, following the holiday. Bsoyka (t • c • g) 04:05, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The Proquest copy seems to be the only digitized version. Worst case scenario I can use that, it doesn't seem to be all that different from the final draft, but I'm hugely appreciative that you're willing to get ahold of/scan in the physical version yourself. Hopefully it all works out, and thank you for offering the help! Gasmasque (talk) 07:09, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I had hoped they would scan the physical copy (or have another library do so), but I've found they get confused sometimes with differing years of the same article. I'll definitely get the physical copy when I can! Bsoyka (t • c • g) 17:14, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Creston saxophone sonata

  2. Hulsebos, Mark (1989): "Cecil Leeson : the pioneering of the concert saxophone in American from 1921 to 1941". Ball State University (DA thesis). Worldcat. (Should have a section based c. 1930–1940 with references to Creston).
  3. Liley, Thomas (1988): "A teacher's guide to the interpretation of selected music for saxophone". Indiana University (DMus thesis). IUCAT. (Should have a section on the Sonata).
  4. Rascher, Sigurd (1968): "Music for the Saxophone, Part 1". The Music Journal, Vol. 26, Iss. 4. Proquest. (Around page 30).
  5. Sibbing, Robert (1970): "An analytical study of the published sonatas for saxophone by American composers". University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (DEd thesis). Proquest, Worldcat. (Section on Creston starts at page 53).

I'm drafting an article offline on Paul Creston's saxophone sonata (will transfer to my sandbox soon) and came across these references in multiple sources. I've tried to be as specific as possible with pages, etc., but cannot access the ToC for several of these. Priority is Hulsebos, Frigo and Sibbing, but any help is much appreciated.

Icons of Black America: Breaking Barriers and Crossing Boundaries

[edit]

Hello

Does anyone have access to Icons of Black America: Breaking Barriers and Crossing Boundaries. ISBN 0313376433, 9780313376436. It's in 3 volumes. The reason I'm asking is because the Hattie McDaniel page, says: "In 1908, she entered a contest sponsored by the Women's Christian Temperance Union, reciting "Convict Joe", later claiming she had won first place." This is referenced to Icons of Black America (plus another link which doesn't seem to lead anywhere). If I Google it, there are websites which state that she did win this prize (ie https://collections.new.oscars.org/Details/Archive/70043581). I'd like to know if there is a story behind this so-called "claim" to have won a contest - it's an odd way of describing it, if she did in fact win. If anyone can access this, and find something about Hattie McDaniel reading this poem, I would be very appreciative. Thanks, Blackballnz (talk) 04:53, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Checking for a page of The Law of Inheritance in the Republics of Syria and Lebanon

[edit]
  • Ibrahim A. Khairallah (1941). The Law of Inheritance in the Republics of Syria and Lebanon. American Press. pp. 173-174. Loi des Vilayets of 1867

For Vilayet Law

This is an English language source which refers to the law's French name. I'm trying to see if the law is discussed in its Ottoman context at the time, whether the law is discussed in a French Mandate of Syria context (assuming the French mandate took the laws from the Ottoman Empire), or both.

Newspaper articles from Stars and Stripes and Nippon Times about an abacus contest

[edit]

The article on soroban describes a contest that took place in 1946 between an abacus operator and an electric calculator operator. The article currently states that it took place on November 12, 1946, but I have found evidence that it actually took place on the 11th; I'd like copies of the newspaper articles quoted in the current version of the article to see if they have more information, one from the Stars and Stripes (presumably a Pacific edition) and one from the Nippon Times. The articles aren't named or dated, but searching on or around November 12 should hopefully work. Arcorann (talk) 12:25, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think you know that a Pacific American 11th November evening is a Japanese 12th November morning? – Doc Taxon • Talk • 23:22, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Arcorann: For the newspaper articles:
The Nippon Times published an article on page 2 titled "Matsuzaki Fingers His Way to Victory In Abacus-Calculating Machine Contest" on Wednesday, November 13, 1946. The first sentence mentioned Monday, which was the 11th:

Civilization, on the threshold of the atomic age, tottered Monday afternoon as the 2,000-year-old abacus beat the electric calculating machine in adding, subtracting, dividing and a problem including all thee with multiplcation thrown in, according to UP.

The Stars and Stripes (Pacific) published an article on page 1 titled "Abacus Expert Downs Calculating Machine Surrendering Only In Multiplication Race", by Lawrence Stern, on Tuesday, November 12, 1946. The first sentence mentioned yesterday, which was the 11th :

The machine Age took a step backward yesterday at the Ernie Pyle Theater as the abacus, centuries old, dealt defeat to the most up-to-date electric calculating machine now being used by the United States Government.

Please send me an email for a scan of the Nippon Times article. The article from The Stars and Stripes is accessible via TWL through Ancestry.com. The proxy search function is broken, but after playing around with it, I found the direct link, which should work: here ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 23:34, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Analysis of Italian cycle of the Search for the Lost Husband (ATU 425)

[edit]
  • Aprile, Renato (2000). Indice delle fiabe popolari italiane di magia (in Italian). Vol. 2. Leo S. Olschki. pp. 664-779 (AT 425 Amor e Psiche). ISBN 9788822248558.

For Animal as Bridegroom and the Italian variants. The pages seem too much, but I'm asking for types AT 425A, AT 425B, AT 425D, AT 425E, and AT 425L:

  • Subtype AT 425A is "King Crin" (heroine's journey, gifts from helpers, bribe of false bride for three nights)
  • Subtype AT 425B is "The Golden Root" and "The King of Love" (heroine's tasks for witch, "quest for casket" and "visit to second witch", as Hans-Jörg Uther describes in the international index)
  • Subtype AT 425D is about the heroine founding/building an inn and getting information about her missing husband from passersby
  • AT 425E is "Lo catenaccio"/"The Padlock" (heroine discovers padlock on her husband's body and opens it; heroine's expulsion and refuge in castle; husband comes at night and sings lullaby with clues to disenchant him)
  • AT 425L is related to Greek tale "Filek-Zelebi" (heroine's expulsion and refuge in third sister-in-law's castle).

If the page range exceeds the limit, I could dispense the section about AT 425D.

Sorry to jump in like this, Dreykop, Bruce1ee. I've gone ahead and also clipped the articles from Newspapers.com.

I think the ProQuest ones would be better for you to use to build the article from, since they're probably more legible than these, but these clippings are better, imo, for using as the actual references in the article, since any reader can view them, unlike with the subscription required for ProQuest.
