I guess the link will not be long term stable but can certainly be argued as fair use so long as not stored directly at Wikipedia since it does not meet Wikipedia non free fair use. If you don't want to host it, I can migrate a copy to Flickr in my public account. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 19:31, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Did you try the Google OCR to see if you could pull any text over?

Invitation to take part in a study

I am a Wikipedian, who is studying the phenomenon on Wikipedia. I need your help to conduct my research on about understanding "Motivation of Wikipedia contributors." I would like to invite you to Main Study. Please give me your valuable time, which estimates about 20 minutes. I chose you as a English Wikipedia user who made edits recently through the RecentChange page. Refer to the first page in the online survey form for more information on the study and me.cooldenny (talk) 03:55, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

I got the two articles. Thanks, Gabriel :) WhisperToMe (talk) 23:10, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for adding the missing title at Southeast Asia Treaty Organization. I'm not sure how that happened. Guoguo12--Talk--  03:01, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

No problem, I also expanded and clarified the discussion of SEATO as a "route" for US military intervention, since it wasn't clear to me what that meant on first reading. Good luck with the Good Article nomination. GabrielF (talk) 03:07, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

Operational Security

The page i'm trying to edit "386th Air Expeditionary Wing" is a huge violation of Operational Security and endangers the lives of countless military members and compromises mission capability. I would like to have it removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ngoetz7885 (talkcontribs) 06:23, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

Document search

Hi, some time ago you managed to get hold of a document for me. It was one of several that I was in need of at the time but right now I cannot recall whether the one you found was a Wiley or Sage resource. They were all useful, including which ever one it was that you got for me!

If it was Sage that you had access to, would it be too much trouble to get another for me, please? I'm watching here - no need for TB. - Sitush (talk) 00:09, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure what kind of access I have to Sage publications but I'd be happy to try. I just posted the Enterprise & Society document you requested over the resource exchange? Is this a different article? GabrielF (talk) 02:34, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
Grabbed the Ent & Soc one, thanks very much. Yes, this is a different one: I'm trying to sort out an article where the subject is notable but it has come over from the German WP and the refs are thin on the ground/in German. The Sage article is here - no worries if you cannot get it, as I'll list on the exchange. I know someone has given me something from Sage before & offered to help in future. Your offer must have been for Wiley (and I'll make a note of it now so as not to pester you unduly again!) - Sitush (talk) 02:38, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
Got the paper, you can download it from here. Looks like I have access to at least the Sage political science collection and probably more of their stuff. Feel free to ask for any publisher in the future. I am still learning exactly which databases I have access to but our collection is very extensive. Good luck with the article. GabrielF (talk) 02:54, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
Grabbed it. A nice surprise at 0400! The article will not be great but will be better for this. Someone else who knows more about the subject should be able to take it further than I'll be able to do. Thanks again for your help, and the ongoing offer. - Sitush (talk) 02:59, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Journal of Economic History

My thanks yet again for finding a journal article for me. I've now got another one on my list for the same WP article but I think that the problem this time is merely that we in the UK only have snippet view access to stuff that people in the US can see in full view. These situations are soooo irritating. I dread to think how I would cope if I lived in an area with even more content restrictions, eg: China.

I'm not sure if you are in the US or not, but if you have time could you let me know if you can see all of this, please? If people in the US cannot then presumably Google have digitised it for later full release as and when the copyrights expire, but I rather think that US educational output is PD in the US. - Sitush (talk) 09:36, 22 May 2011 (UTC)
