Inter Press Service article

Hi all, I'm looking for the fulltext of "AFRICA-POLITICS: RWANDA'S REVENGE", IPS News Wire, A. Lama, Jul. 11, 1996 as previewed here: [2]. Highbeam offers a 7-day free trial, but a few screens in they casually ask for a credit card number "just in case" - that's usually where I click the X to make screen disappear now. I'm trying to straighten out just what the heck the neologism "Lima syndrome" actually means, so if anyone wants to research the term more generally, excluding the thousands of Wikipedia mirrors, that would be great too.

South African article

[edit]

Can anyone find a copy of what exactly ANC MP Peace Mabe said about runner Caster Semenya? I've tried the South African Hansard, but no luck. One lead might be "The so-called gender machinery in South Africa requires much more attention", 26 August 2009, Cape Times. BrainyBabe (talk) 17:05, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've posted a copy here. Let me know when you've successfully downloaded it so I can remove it. Note that this appears to be an opinion piece (see the disclaimer on the very last line) so may not qualify as a reliable source for what Mabe said. Dr pda (talk) 23:55, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I've downloaded that article, thank you very much, but it doesn't fully answer the question.
...chairperson Peace Mabe (ANC) first made the apt comparison between Saartjie Baartman, prodded at by white, male, European scientists almost exactly 200 years ago, and Semenya, who's been subjected to ostensibly "scientific" gender tests because she does not conform to a certain feminine identity construction.
Mabe indicated that while the media was saturated with this issue, the department's position was not being heard publicly. She also demanded to know whether it had provided any support to the "beautiful young lady". <snip> Afterwards, Mabe told Independent Newspapers political reporter Carien du Plessis that the department should have proactively prevented the tests by sending in lawyers.
"Make a comparison, "indicate", "demand" are all paraphrases, though I have no reason to doubt their accuracy. Any ideas how to get to the direct quotation? BrainyBabe (talk) 16:06, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like this page has what you need. It has a summary of what I think is the same meeting, copies of the documents handed out and even audio of the meeting. I haven't looked in detail at any of these though. Dr pda (talk) 21:35, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You rock! I have no idea how you found that, but well done. The minutes of the meeting are just what I need, short of a transcript. Thank you. BrainyBabe (talk) 22:38, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Citations to and text of mammalian cryonics study from 1957

Would someone with access to JSTOR please help me get a copy of Smith, A.U. (December 17, 1957) "Problems in the Resuscitation of Mammals from Body Temperatures Below 0°C" Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological Sciences, 147(929):533-544 ("14 pages" -- there must be a three page fold out leaf)?

What I want even more than the full text of that article is the the list of citations made in 1990 through 2010 to it from the Science Citation Index/Web of Science. Please leave that list on my talk page if it's too long for you to feel comfortable about leaving here. I am also very interested in the CSI/WoS citations listed in 1990-2010 to Houlé, J.D. and Das, G.D. (September, 1980) "Freezing and transplantation of brain tissue in rats" Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 36(9):1114-5, but I don't really need the full text for that one, as the abstract is good enough for my purposes at present -- not that I would mind having the full text.

Cystic fibrosis

[edit]

Cystic fibrosis, a Featured article, is undergoing review of its featured status, but unfortunately copy editors are not working on prose and style issues before content and sourcing have been addressed. The entire October issue of Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine was dedicated to reviews of cystic fibrosis; MEDRS don't get much better than this, and these articles could really be used to spruce up the article and perhaps save it at FAR. I realize this is a very tall order, but maybe if several editors contribute... Fvasconcellos (t·c) 13:20, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Einstein quote

[edit]
Resolved

Can someone help me find a source that confirms or debunks the following quote, supposedly by Einstein?

"Since the mathematicians have invaded the theory of relativity, I do not understand it myself anymore."

Maybe this can be useful: Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL
Thanks, Waldir talk 13:52, 19 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure what you want. Do you want the original source? It is mentioned in Albert Einstein, Philosopher-Scientist (by Schlipp), but unsourced.--droptone (talk) 17:51, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I also looked into this. The quote with the wording you give appears on page 102 of the 1949 edition of Albert Einstein, Philosopher-Scientist P.A. Schlipp (ed.). This is in an essay by Arnold Sommerfeld entitled "To Albert Einstein's Seventieth Birthday"; according to a footnote this was translated specifically for the book by Schilpp, from "Zum Siebzigsten Geburtstag Albert Einsteins" which appeared in Deutsche Beiträge (Eine Zweimonatsschrift) Vol III, No 2, 1949. Thus there are grounds for believing the English version of this quote can be traced to Schilpp's book. Also, given that Sommerfeld was one of the "invading mathematicians" (according to his Wikipedia article "His mathematical contributions to the theory [of special relativity] helped its acceptance by the skeptics."), I would be inclined to believe it is genuine Dr pda (talk) 20:34, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Many thanks, droptone and Dr pda :) I found this in one of those powerpoint slideshows that get forwarded by email and thought it was very interesting, but doubted its authenticity, especially since I didn't find it in the (rather long) wikiquote page (not even the talk page). I'll add it there, but if you can think of an article here on Wikipedia it could be relevant, please add it as well! Cheers, Waldir talk 20:53, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
update: Actually, it had been added already :) I added the details and links from here, with due credit of course :) About the article on Wikipedia where to add this, there seems to be a perfect candidate: Mathematics of general relativity. What do you think? --Waldir talk 21:30, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure if it would add anything encyclopedic to that article. Dr pda (talk) 23:46, 24 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well, think of it as one of those "did you know" facts: it's true, and it might amuse the reader and hopefully give more incentive to read the article (or the book, or the wikiquote page). We don't have to be oh-so-serious all the time :) --Waldir talk 08:55, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Completion of bibliographic information

As identified on the talk page of NCAT Pavement Test Track, the bibliographic information for about ten sources is incomplete, namely lacking the title and author's name, which should be addressed. We do, however, have page numbers. The creator of the article seems to have left the project immediately after "completing" his educational assignment. Since at least some of the article was copy/pasted, it would also be good to check those sources (those without public web archives) against the original version of the article for copy/pasted text that may not already be out of the article by now.

Would someone be able to access Eusebius's Historia Ecclesiastica, volume VIII, Chapter 11 - "The Martyrs of Palestine", in order to clarify the concerns I've expressed in Talk:Elias and companions? Thanks in advance, Waldir talk 08:38, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Does this work? Twas the only mention I could find of that guy.--droptone (talk) 17:51, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hm, that's strange. I looked up some other sources and they indeed point to chapter 11. Specifically, this got me thinking whether the source could be a different book, by citing it as
"[Eusebius'] account is in b. 11 of his Martyrs of Palestine, trans. and ed. H. J. Lawlor and J. E. L. Oulton (1929)"
However, this one again pointed to his Church History, with the citation in the following form:
"From Eusebius's relation of the martyrs of Palestine, at the end of the eighth book of his history, c. 11, 12. p.346. Ed. Vales"
I'm not sure what to make out of this, but maybe these more specific pointers can help. --Waldir talk 19:48, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently the Martyrs of Palestine was originally a separate work. A longer version now exists only as a Syriac manuscript, but a shorter version in Greek was inserted into the Historia Ecclesiastica. Different manuscripts have it in different places, in some it is between Books VIII and IX, in some at the end of book X, and in one in the middle of Book VIII, ch 13. Some translators include it and some don't. One translation which does include it can be downloaded as a 40 MB pdf nicely converted to text from here, (p743). An earlier edition can be browsed online as a series of page images; the relevant passage starts here. The passage is indeed in chapter XI of the Martyrs of Palestine, which is inserted at the end of Book VIII in these editions. Dr pda (talk) 23:16, 27 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    (Alternatively, this is currently cited to the following reference, which might be give further details as to where exactly the original printing/author is: "500 Years of New Words", by Bill Sherk, Doubleday, 1983, ISBN 0385179022, p. 162.)

On the second, the book does not provide a further citation. "Widely circulated throughout the country arond 1936 was the famous "Parable of the Isms"". Someone will need to chime in on the Sun article.--droptone (talk) 17:34, 4 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I don't have access to The Sun either, however the parable (not under that name) was mentioned in a letter to the editor in the Los Angeles Times, Nov 25, 1938. In the Chicago Daily Tribune, December 3, 1938, p21 the parable is attributed to Silas Strawn in an address at the Economic Club Dinner, November 29 1935. Dr pda (talk) 02:30, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Marvelous! Would that mention be considered a citable source, and if so, any suggestions on how we'd format it? Or does this need to be researched further (and how? do we need to write to the Economic Club of Chicago asking for a transcript?)? Thanks again. -- Quiddity (talk) 20:05, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Major newspapers are usually regarded as reliable sources, so I think it would be fine to cite this for the Chicago Daily Times asserting Shawn as the source. I would be inclined to add the information to the existing text as follows:
Bill Sherk mentions that such lists circulated throughout the country since around 1936 under the title "Parable of the Isms".[7] A column in The Chicago Daily Tribune in 1938 attributes a version involving socialism, communism, fascism and New Dealism to an address by Silas Strawn to the Economic Club of Chicago on November 29, 1935.<ref>"The Class in Political Isms". Chicago Daily Tribune. December 3, 1938. p.12, col.3.</ref>
If you wanted to make a stronger statement, e.g. Silas Strawn used a version involving socialism, communism, fascism and New Dealism in an address to the Economic Club of Chicago on November 29, 1935, then you would indeed have to confirm the details, eg by emailing the Economic Club of Chicago, as you suggest. They may well have a transcript, as their 75th anniversary book on their website has transcripts from many speakers. At the least it should be possible for them to verify the date of the address—pages 163–217 of the 75th anniversary book appear to have a list of Dinner Meetings of the Club (unfortunately this is not online). I've put a copy of the Chicago Daily Tribune column here so you can see what it actually says. Dr pda (talk) 02:22, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Perfect. Huge thanks to you both. I've added it to the article as suggested, and will mark this as resolved. -- Quiddity (talk) 20:08, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Scholarly articles and out of date print publications discussing Swan Song (novel)

[edit]
Resolved

I'm starting a major revamp of the article in question and have identified several possible sources discussing themes, style, etc. in google books and scholar searches. For most of these, I am able to find enough in the google books hits to form my text and citations. I have identified one specific source from a feminism related science publication that is only available via a paid reprint here. I'm hoping someone has access to the article in question and can provide the text that discusses the book and the info I would need to cite it.

Additionally, I would be happy for more detailed info if anyone has access to Science Fiction, Fantasy, or Horror annual reviews from that time period (book was published in 1987 and I've found references to it in these types of publications as late as 1990). I'm interested in anything notable that reviewed the book in general and/or discussed themes and the style of writing. As an example, one literary review I saw in a google search noted that this book shared a theme with several other novels of that time involving evil shapeshifters in horror fiction. The source in question discussed this as being a relatively new theme to the genre at the time. You can see this example here (scroll to reference on page 29).

You can contact me here on wikipedia and also via the "email this user" function. For some reason, I don't always get emails sent to me this way so if anyone attempts to email me, please drop me a line on my talk page to warn me to expect something. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide. Millahnna (mouse)talk 22:45, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Medical applications of rhodocene or its derivatives?

[edit]

I have come across reference to an intriguing paper:

I have not heard before of any medical / biological application of rhodocene, but this paper seems to indicate that there may be such applications. Unfortunately, I don't have access to the paper itself and looking at papers that have referenced it I find they were mostly looking at ferrocenes or ruthenocenes.

Finding referenced information on Singaporean movies is difficult. I have expanded this article as far as I can with web-based references alone. However, I will need newspaper references to expand it further. Around the day the movie was released in cinemas, The Straits Times published an article about the differences between Children of Heaven and Homerun (I could write an entire section comparing the two movies, solely based on that reference). Furthermore, The Straits Times and Channel NewsAsia are likely to provide enough references to write a decent Production section (a neccesity if I ever push the article for GA status). Other newspapers may provide referenced information that I could use to expand the Political satire and Reception sections. Could somebody search LexisNexis, Factiva and/or Newslink for newspaper articles about the movie, and e-mail their full text and citation information to hildanknight(AT)gmail(DOT)com? --J.L.W.S.

Ányos Jedlik and the Dynamo

[edit]
Resolved

The dynamo article has a claim that it was invented by Anyos Jedlik. This has been labelled as dubious. This book,

  • Andrew L. Simon, Made in Hungary: Hungarian contributions to universal culture, p207, Simon Publications LLC, 1998 ISBN 0966573420

makes the same claim and contains in its bibliography the paper,

  • GK Cwierawa, "Ányos Jedlik-wengierski pioner elektrotechniki", Kwartalnik Historiki Nauk i Techniki, No 2, 1971

which I assume is the source of Simon's information. I am not looking for a copy of the whole paper (I don't read Hungarian anyway) merely the citation for Jedlik's original publication of his work (assuming that there is one). Thanks. SpinningSpark 13:32, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There doesn't seem to be a citation in the article.--droptone (talk) 21:02, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for that, please leave it up until user Edison has seen it as well who is also interested. I am surprised you have it in English, presumably that is a translation not the original? SpinningSpark 02:10, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
That's from Made in Hungary..., not the original Hungarian article.--droptone (talk) 07:47, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oh I see, in that case you have misunderstood, I can already read Made in Hungary on google books preview. It does in fact have a source (although not inline in the text, it's on page 404) which I have quoted above. What we are trying to do is trace the source of Simon's claim since we doubt it is true. I am looking for the Hungarian paper he quotes, not the book itself. Even that is not the end of it since a 1971 paper author could not possibly have direct experience of an 1828 event, that paper itself must have had a source which is what I am ultimately trying to establish. SpinningSpark 10:00, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Seems it went unpublished:

His experimental machine made in 1861 had a special feature of technological importance; namely, the principle of self-excitation, in other words, the dynamo principle first appeared in the operating instructions Jedlik wrote for this machine. This machine was only used as a demonstration device, and Jedlik did not publish the new construction.[34]

citing Verebely (1931), "Ányos Jedlik A Hungarian Pioneer of Electricity", Elektrotechnika 24, pp. 213-26 and Singer, H., and Hall, W. (1958), A History of Technology, vol. V, part 2.10, p. 187. Apparently the operating instructions appeared in an inventory for the university. The "1828 event" you mention is i think one of 292 experiments listed in 1829 which concludes: "an electromagnetic wire can create continuous rotating movement around a similarly electromagnetic wire", a DC motor w/ commutator, not a dynamo.—eric 16:17, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
One user has inserted claims in several articles tht Jedlik invented the electric motor, the electric motor with electromagnets for the stationary and rotating parts along with the commutator, the electric vehicle, and several other things. I have asked in the Electric motor talk page for a good reference showing what year he publicly demonstrated and published any such inventions, and have not gotten a satisfactory response. A photo of a museum model is shown in the article, which is claimed to be from 1828, with many modern features, but with uncertain provenance. There are many cases of museums having illustrative models constructed in modern times, but falsely claimed to be the device constructed many years earlier. The above sounds like there was an inventory at the university dating to 1861, which is the first documentation, if not publication. This is a pretty weak claim, given that others had published publicly demonstrated, been written up in the scientific and popular press and taken out patents for "electromagnetic wire rotating around electromagnetic wire" long before 1861. A college teacher could be expected to build demo devices to illustrate what was going on ion the field, and it is too easy to attribute decades of developments to the first year Jedlik did any demo of electromagnetism in his classes, back in 1828 or whenever. It sounds like a backdated claim. More translation of what he wrote, and clear statement of when he wrote it, is essential to understand Jedlik's role. Recent web pages or popular articles which simply assert, without references, that Jedlik "invented the electric motor in 1828" are not convincing when other claimants have lots of public presentation of their work at the actual time of their inventions. Edison (talk) 16:43, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think we need to try and convince anyone here at the library. We just need to say what documents we want them to go find. SpinningSpark 18:23, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
So you are looking for #290 from an 1829 notebook which details 292 experiments used as demonstrations in his classes for the motor, and an 1861 university inventory that contains operating instructions for the dynamo. Or is it enough to show that he did not publish on either?—eric 22:52, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Given the above fulfilled requests I should probably just go away and do some reading. However, still on the subject of roddon, Wossam (1975) p. 93 uses the phrase "Radiocarbon dates of about 2400 years B.C. ..." which is a self-inconsistent phrase.

Caravels

[edit]

I recently noted that out article on caravels is in a sad state for such an important and influential type of ship. I have some paper sources at home, but they are German language, often older, and often pop-sci. If somebody has good sources, I'd be very interested. In particular, I'm looking for a copy of

  • Keith, Donald H. (1992). "Replicating a caravel". Historical archaeology. 26 (4): 21–26.

If others are interested, there is a monumental M.A. Thesis from Texas A&M here and a paper by the same author here. Hints for other sources and help with the article are very welcome! --Stephan Schulz (talk) 00:04, 24 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article "The Board" in Hollywood FL cites various sources, all of which are offline, to support its claims about a certain social organization. Frankly, I am suspicious about whether these sources mention the group "The Board" at all. The sources in question are:

  • Sherif, Muzafer and Sherif, Carolyn W., An Outline of Social Psychology, rev.ed. New York: Harper & Brothers. 1956. OCLC 490079520
  • Becker, Howard Paul and Barnes, Harry Elmer. Social Thought From Lore To Science, 3rd ed. New York: Dover Publications, Inc, 1962. Pp. 743–790. OCLC 423043
  • Hare, Alexander Paul, Handbook of small group research. New York: Macmillan Publishers, 1962. OCLC 318155027
  • McGrath, Joseph E. (1991). "Time, interaction, and performance: A theory of groups." Small Group Research, 22 (2). doi:10.1177/1046496491222001
  • Bales, Robert Freed Interaction Process Analysis: A Method for the Study of Small Groups. MA: Addison-Wesley, 1950. P. 33. OCLC 6998017

If anyone has any of these sources available to them and can find out whether they mention "The Board", I'd appreciate it. Your participation at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/"The Board" in Hollywood FL would be welcome if you have access to these sources. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:10, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, LeadSongDog. Based on contributions by other editors in the AfD, we probably don't need the Becker & Barnes book now, and the McGrath article has definitely been located (and, sure enough, it doesn't mention "The Board"). So at this point, we would only be concerned with locating the Sherif & Sherif book, the Hare book, and the Bales book. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:28, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well, those should be in most major university libraries, but I note that another edition of Hare is searchable on Hathitrust here. A search for "The Board" there finds four pages in that edition, 160, 172, 175 and 376. Searching it for Hollywood finds nothing. Similarly, Hathitrust has this edition of Sherif which, searched, indicates both Board and Hollywood crop up on page 244. LeadSongDog come howl! 05:19, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Turns out p.244 refers to "The Writers' War Board" and to "Hollywood cinema". See [42] and search for Board, then for Hollywood. So no, that's not a source.LeadSongDog come howl! 23:26, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
