Novem Linguae, the third (Columbia Journalism Review) is available through Gale Academic Onefile, which you should be able to access through The Wikipedia Library. In answer to how I found it, I just Googled "A bad case of the '80s" Columbia Journalism Review, and the first result (of only three total) was the Gale page; believing that Gale is included in The Wikipedia Library, I went there and pulled it up to be sure. --Usernameunique (talk) 04:40, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I'm looking for a September 12, 1961 Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada article for my draft on Donald Strathearn Rawson. GBooks has a snippet view but I would like to see if the full text has anything that would be useful.

Thanks! MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 03:20, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@MrLinkinPark333: The Internet Archive has the 1961, Vol. 18 Index of the Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada. According to it, the obituary of Rawson is on page 479 of issue 8. —Bruce1eetalk 06:27, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
According to Canadian Science Publishing, Rawson's obituary is in the Volume 18, Number 4, April 1961 issue of Journal of the Fisheries Research Board of Canada. The page numbers (479–482) tie up with the Internet Archive index linked above. A search for "Donald Strathearn Rawson" confirms that this is Rawson's obituary. —Bruce1eetalk 07:26, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Bruce1ee. Is there a way to possibly combine them into one link that could be used in a Template:Cite news. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:47, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Marchjuly: There isn't a way to reference Newspapers.com clippings from different pages with a single url. And as far as I can see, the cite template suite only accepts one url per citation, although you may be able to get by also using one of these parameters: article-url, chapter-url, contribution-url, entry-url or section-url, but I've never tried that. The only solution I can think of is to use two citations, the first one with "title=Gulf Plant Here Biggest in U.S. page 1" and the page one url, and the second one with "title=Gulf Plant Here Biggest in U.S. page 2" and the page two url. —Bruce1eetalk 12:25, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the clarification. I figured that might be the case. I thought about two citations, but at the same time a link isn't needed per WP:SAYWHERE. Newspapers.com is really the original source anyway, but it's more of a convenience link that I usually specify using the |via= parameter.

IFPI Global Music Report 2020 edit

For de:Italienische populäre Musik

I asked this already one year ago, sadly without getting a reply. But I still need the report and can't find it anywhere. Apparently, there is a number of libraries in UK and US that have the report, so maybe someone can access it (but: the IFPI only allows citing if the institution got an external-use license). I need the section about Italy. Would be highly appreciated!

Thanks, XanonymusX (talk) 13:18, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

XanonymusX, I tried ILLing this without any luck. I also reached out via online chat to the NYU and Harvard libraries, which have the report (Harvard doesn't have 2020 yet), but are only providing them to current affiliates at this time. The Harvard librarian suggested a) reaching out to the IFPI directly, as they *might* be willing to spot you one page (they might be even more likely if an older page would work, like from the 2019 report), and b) reaching out to the Berklee College of Music librarian listed here, as they have the current report and, again, *might* be willing to send you a page.
There are enough well-known institutions with electronic and/or hard copies of the report (NYU, Harvard, USC, Stanford, etc.), that another possibility would be finding a current affiliate of one of those institutions; many if not most of them could likely either access it online via a database, or have their school scan and email it. One option would be to reach out directly to people listed at:
Category:Wikipedians by alma mater: Harvard University
Category:Wikipedians by alma mater: New York University
Category:Wikipedians by alma mater: Stanford University
Category:Wikipedians by alma mater: University of Southern California
The caveat is that most of these are likely to be alums who no longer have the access they once had. (Looking through the userpages might give you a better idea of who's an alum and who's a current affiliate.)
A third suggestion would simply be to chat up more librarians at the libraries listed on WorldCat. Perhaps the answer 9 times out of 10 will be that only current affiliates have access, but if that's the case, it only takes asking 10 times before you find what you're looking for.
Fourth, there might be a better chance of ILLing this once the world returns to normal. --Usernameunique (talk) 20:44, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the effort! I have just sent an email to the Berklee librarian (from my student email account, maybe that helps). Will try some others if this one doesn’t work. The music industry isn’t exactly the best ally of free knowledge, so asking the IFPI directly seems hopeless to me. Of course the issue is that the data would need to be updated every year with the new report, so an easy way to have “permanent” access would be ideal. Let’s see what I’ll achieve! Regards, XanonymusX (talk) 21:11, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
XanonymusX, any luck? --Usernameunique (talk) 19:03, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I have indeed not received the ping! The Berklee librarian has answered after two weeks, but unfortunately same issue there, only for registered students. I have not yet decided which institution to try next, maybe I’ll give the UK ones a try next week. —XanonymusX (talk) 20:57, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ijmusic, I see you are at Berklee. Is there any chance you might be be able to help out? The report can be accessed at this link, by clicking on "2020 Report" under the heading "IFPI's Global Music Report". Cheers, --Usernameunique (talk) 03:20, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@XanonymusX: Requested via ILL because there is no reason not to, but I doubt I'll have any more success than Usernameunique did. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 19:34, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome, glad you finally got it, XanonymusX. May as well keep an eye on Berklee's page; no harm in asking for the pages from 2021 report also, when it comes available. In any event, marking this as resolved. --Usernameunique (talk) 23:31, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

1978 article in Human Events edit

For Mass killings under communist regimes I have not been able to find the following: Todd Culbertson, "The Human Cost of World Communism," Human Events, August 19, 1978, pp. 10-11 (cited here). The website for Human Events has very little archived, as far as I can tell. The closest I have come is this hardbound edition of back issues from 1978 at Amazon, which is unavailable. Does anyone know a way to locate a digital version or how to maybe obtain a copy from the Library of Congress or elsewhere through an interlibrary loan? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, AmateurEditor (talk) 07:29, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't meet the reliable sources standard required for that article as this is not a peer-reviewed journal and the author is not a qualified historian (or demographer); instead he is a "member of the Editorial Page staff of the Richmond Virginia News Leader". (t · c) buidhe 07:33, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
User:buidhe, the source is cited by Benjamin Valentino, a Dartmouth College professor, in a source directly about the topic. See the links provided. I am interested in independently confirming its contents. AmateurEditor (talk) 10:45, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Being cited by one otherwise reliable source does not make this a RS for the subject. Anyway, figures from forty years ago are not reliable given that the Soviet archives later revealed many earlier estimates to be totally off base. (t · c) buidhe 21:47, 21 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I agree it is not a reliable source for the current state of knowledge. Any advice on locating it? AmateurEditor (talk) 02:37, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Volunteer editors here are unlikely to help you if it is not suitable to cite in an actual Wikipedia article. The purpose of this board is only for concrete improvement to Wikipedia articles not general edification. If you cannot show that the source is reliable, then why is anyone going to spend time getting it for you? (t · c) buidhe 14:08, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Buidhe: Oh, I see. While it is not a reliable source for the current state of knowledge, it is the most reliable source for its part of the history of the topic and would be used specifically to make a 1978 entry in the bulleted timeline of published numbers of people killed by communist regimes in the "Estimates" section in the Wikipedia article. According to Valentino, the source includes a statement that communist regimes have killed "perhaps 100 million" people, which preceded any other source I am aware of in reaching that number. Arguably, the Valentino source could be cited for the Culbertson 1978 estimate instead of the Culbertson source itself, but it's valuable to verify the context of that quote in the source itself before adding it to Wikipedia. AmateurEditor (talk) 04:58, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Most ProQuest subscriptions, including TWL's, have Human Events only back to 1998. But digital full text is supposedly available all the way back to 1944 for institutions that license their "Periodicals Archive Online Collection 2" or "Periodicals Archive Online Foundation Collection" - probably the larger research university libraries. --Worldbruce (talk) 05:51, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

May 1958 Ladies' Home Journal article edit

Article in a 2003 issue of TV magazine Radio Times edit

  • (can't figure out how to do a citation here) - the article seemingly titled "monster magic" on pg. 38 of the 6 November 2003 issue (issue no. 4156) of Radio Times; it seems to be an article about this TV series and since sources are hard to come by, will probably be useful. It exists as per these; 1, 2.

For Sea Monsters (TV series)

Thanks, Ichthyovenator (talk) 13:56, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Ichthyovenator, how confident are you in the page number? I asked for pages 37–39, and my library claims they couldn't find it in the page range. The first link you provided says "Monster magic: page 38", but it also says "Appears in: Issue 4156, 6 November 2003, Page 78". It seems as if the text on the website is a transcription of (part of) what appears on page 78 of the 6 November 2003 issue. Do you understand "Monster magic: page 38" to be referring to another page in the same issue of Radio Times? Considering that it follows a reference to "(S) BBC BOOK: Sea Monsters, now available price £17.99", could "Monster magic: page 38" be referring to a page of the BBC book instead? --Usernameunique (talk) 09:19, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ichthyovenator, after looking into this further, it appears my library is missing this issue, and scanned the following issue (covering 15–21 November) instead. So it may indeed be on page 38 of issue 4156 after all. I'm trying to ILL it and will follow up. --Usernameunique (talk) 00:29, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Usernameunique I am so sorry for not responding to your earlier response more than a month ago - I don't know how I managed to miss it. I am very thankful for your efforts to attempt locating this quite obcure source. As for the page number, your guess is as good as mine if it's correct, I'm just going off based of what the site says (though I'm fairly confident that it's not from the BBC book and indeed from an article titled "Monster magic" in the magazine - no heading or section by that name exist in the book to my knowledge). Ichthyovenator (talk) 13:09, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Usernameunique: You said you'd try to ILL it again; any word? —Compassionate727 (T·C) 19:19, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Compassionate727, it's "Awaiting Unfilled Processing" as of February 26, which means that the first library they tried can't fulfill it. They might try another library—seems like the issue is held by a number of them—but I'm not sure. I'll let you know when i hear more. --Usernameunique (talk) 19:23, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Compassionate727 & Ichthyovenator, no luck, unfortunately. After sending the request out for a second time, my library cancelled it, saying they were unable to find a library with it. --Usernameunique (talk) 18:09, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Usernameunique Considering how difficult it appears to be to track down this magazine article perhaps I could retract my request for it here (not sure how the process works)? I have no idea what they wrote about the TV series in the magazine and any reliable source would be helpful in beefing up the Wikipedia article further, but I'm not sure if whatever they wrote is going to be worth your efforts and seemingly needlessly (it appears the source truly has gone up in smoke) wasting your time. Ichthyovenator (talk) 19:52, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Ichthyovenator: If you would like to withdraw your request, just tag it with {{Withdrawn}}. But perhaps you should wait to see if Usernameunique has any other ideas. —Bruce1eetalk 20:46, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ichthyovenator & Bruce1ee, I've sent an email to the BBC Genome team, asking if they can provide any more information about what exactly appears on page 38; I doubt they'll be able to send a scan of the page itself, but hopefully that can say whether it is an article, blurb, or something else. After that, my next thought would be to reach out to libraries directly and ask them to check their holdings. And no worries about the effort involved—I've gone to great efforts myself to track down information that barely warrants a footnote in an article, so empathize with the desire to find this. --Usernameunique (talk) 21:27, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Usernameunique As long as you're fine with continuing the search you're welcome to do so; here's hoping the source will actually be useful if you manage to find it! It's clearly difficult to track down - if you run into a dead end or feel like stopping just let me know and we can call it off. Ichthyovenator (talk) 17:16, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ichthyovenator, here's the BBC's response: The piece “Monster Magic” on page 38 of that issue of Radio Times is a very short piece about the Walking with Dinosaurs special “Sea Monsters”, promoting the programme as something the family could watch together. There is not a great deal of information, some of it is information taken from the BBC book “Sea Monsters” about the creature Dunkleosteus, together with a Radio Times offer to buy discounted copies of this book. Let me know if that sounds useful. If so, I can try to ILL this again when the world settles down a bit more; the University of Washington says it appears to have a copy, although its ILL department is currently closed, and probably will be for at least a few more months. --Usernameunique (talk) 14:27, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Usernameunique I am sorry if I have wasted your time but per that response it doesn't sound as if there is a whole lot of information to glean from the text. The information from the book will not really be anything new and the offer to buy a discounted book does not sound like something that could be meaningfully incorporated in the article on the series. I was gunning for something akin to a review in order to beef up the "reception" section in the article - as it is now, that section gives the impression that reception to the series was mixed whereas most online reviews (blogs, imdb etc.) are highly positive (but cannot be cited per WP standards). Ichthyovenator (talk) 15:04, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, Ichthyovenator. And it's not a waste of time at all. Given the above, are you comfortable marking this as {{resolved}}? If you do want to take a look at it to be sure, give me a heads up in a month or two and I can give the University of Washington another try. --Usernameunique (talk) 20:58, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Usernameunique, I'm marking it as resolved right away. A anticlimactic end to the search to be sure, but I am very impressed with the lengths you went to in order to track down a source as obscure as this. Ichthyovenator (talk) 21:09, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Romanian Review edit

For Second Battle of Oituz

The google preview (at least via the search) yields a text beginning

November 10 is the date of the second great battle of Oituz , right in the area of action of the mentioned group . The fights lasted until November 15 , 1916 , and the initiative belonged to the Romanian army . During November 11 , 12 , and 13, the strategic detachments of the “ Oituz " group attacked the enemy on all six main directions , in order to provoke heavy losses and to prevent them from transferring any other reinforcement from that point to other sectors of the front. The adversaries attacked and counterattacked constantly , until November 16 , when the " Oituz " group switched to a strategy of defence , on the entire front line . After more than one month of continuous military actions , the defenders of the pass of Oituz practically locked up this region , and defeated the enemy ' s plans to pierce the Romanian front towards the South of Moldavia . (page 123) The valley of Olt was also taken into account by the enemy HQ , as a possible piercing point through the Carpathian barrier , as the region had a huge traffic potential , in favour of the troops rapidly advancing on the highway and railway. Moreover, the valley offered good conditions for actions of encircling particularly on the valleys open towards the Olt . The " Krafft " group was created for this mission , and it consisted of 20 battalions and 16 artillery batteries . Its main mission was to resume the attacks on the route of Curtea de Arges - Piteşti . The area was defended by the 1st Romanian Army Corps , namely by the 13th and 23rd infantry divisions , the 1st cavalry brigade , 33 infantry battalions , 6 cavalry squadrons , and 28 artillery batteries . There was a machine - gun ratio with the enemy of 2 . 2 to 1 , and they had a machine gun for each of their combat unit , besides its 12 mountain artillery batteries . The Romanian troops , though , had only 3 mountain artillery batteries , and no machine - gun . On October 14 , the Romanian troops were on defending positions , with the 23 infantry division placed east of the river Olt , 2 km west of the Negoiu peak and the town of Cîineni . The 13th infantry division stood west of Olt , and was spread until the Pietrosul peak . The 1st Army Corps had one squadron and 3 pioneer companies as reserve . In its first stage , the offensive plan of the German and Austrian - Hungarian troops was to open the pass of Turnu Roşu and to penetrate the territory up to Curtea de Argeş , through a front attack , and to outflank on both sides the 1st Romanian

on p. 122–123. This is clearly about this battle, but I am unable to see anything further. I'd like the have the given page, and any subsequent/preceding pages that refer to this as well.

@Usernameunique: Somehow I missed the ping. I tried, but apparently, despite me explicitly asking for citation information, the request was misconstrued as a request to make this available for online view... So nothing on that front so far, although I have sent a clarified request and am awaiting a response. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 16:27, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@RandomCanadian: Any word? —Compassionate727 (T·C) 19:50, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Compassionate727 & RandomCanadian, just FYI, my library said they would retrieve their copy and take a look; I'm reasonably confident that I'll be able to get this one. --Usernameunique (talk) 20:13, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Compassionate727: I tried but got the same response again so don't think it's worth pursuing there. @Usernameunique: Thanks! Tell me when you have further news. Cheers, RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 20:19, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
RandomCanadian, turns out my library is missing the issues in question—seems like it's in issue 1, 2, 3, or 4—but it has put in an ILL request. --Usernameunique (talk) 19:58, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • RandomCanadian, i sent you wikimail, please check it. If you want another pages, let tell me. Sorry for my English. --Jim Hokins (talk) 08:47, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    @Jim Hokins: Thanks. Seems like it's all the info I can get from there, then [if you can get me page 121 just to confirm, that'd be nice). Doesn't solve the problem I have, which is that I don't have all the information necessary to cite this (author; article title; ...). Can you find the table of contents or, better, just the full citation for this article? Thanks, RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 13:32, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    RandomCanadian, page 121. Name of article. For full citation you may request google-books. --Jim Hokins (talk) 14:42, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    @Jim Hokins:The table of contents is unreadable at the resolution given as a preview by Google (if you can however give me the relevant pages at a decent resolution, they might have all the information I need). I just need to fill in a couple more blanks in the citation template, here (everything that is between [square brackets]):
    • [Last Name of author], [First Name] (1996). "The Battles for the Mountain Passes". Romanian Review. 51 (5/6). Europolis Pub.: 116–128. ISSN 0035-8088. OCLC 5350807. {{cite journal}}: |last1= has generic name (help)
    As I said I tried google with nearly that exact question but it keeps getting misconstrued. Cheers, RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 17:39, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    1) All the previous pages I provided were collected by me from Google snipshots. The resolution is exactly the same. 2) Assembling one page takes about an hour. I do not want to waste my time, insofar as I do not know on which page to look for the name of the author of the article. --Jim Hokins (talk) 18:32, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you very much for your efforts; then. I guess I'll wait on User:Usernameunique see if there's anything that comes out of the ILL request. Cheers. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 18:33, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    RandomCanadian, email me for pages 116 to 131. --Usernameunique (talk) 16:25, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    RandomCanadian, sent. --Usernameunique (talk) 16:32, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      Received. Plenty of useful information for other articles. Not marking as resolved yet: incomplete table of contents information; but that's probably asking for too much by this point. Cheers, RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 16:49, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    RandomCanadian, sent table of contents. --Usernameunique (talk) 20:16, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    Very odd; no author listed there... @Jim Hokins: Last ditch: can you get me page 5 (that's the introduction; most logical place for an author to be listed). Otherwise I'll improvise something for the necessities of {{sfn}}. Cheers, RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 20:43, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
RandomCanadian, the author of some chapters/articles of this journal is Costică PRODAN, but his name not available on page 5. But, if you really need it, I can still try to get the content of page 5 for you. But for this I need your help: I myself cannot find a single clue to this page. If you provide me with a link to any one snapshot containing meaningful text from this page, I will probably be able to pull out all the other snipshots. --Jim Hokins (talk) 21:21, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I suspect that this is the page 5 in question, although because the scanned volume contains multiple issues, there are multiple pages numbered 5 in the work. --Usernameunique (talk) 21:30, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Jim Hokins: In that case the other candidate would be p. 108 ("The Central Powers Counterattack (October-November 1916)"). But I'm willing to take the Prodan name; seems to be associated with other works on the topic such as this. So feel free to ping me if there's a name on p. 108, otherwise this is pretty much {{resolved}} RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 21:55, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Works Entwisle, Barbara edit

Good day. To work on The old-age-security hypothesis, I need these Brown University theses:

  • Entwisle, Barbara (1975), "The effect of pension programs on fertility: a replicative study"
  • Entwisle, Barbara (1980), "Education, pension programs, and fertility: a cross-national investigation, with special reference to the potential held by education and pension programs as fertility reduction policies"

--Vyacheslav84 (talk) 10:35, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Linking to two previous requests to prevent duplication: 2019, 2020. Vyacheslav84, have you tried reaching out to Brown through any of the emails at their dissertation guide? Their archivist (Jennifer Betts), or the "archives@..." email address, might be good points of contact. --Usernameunique (talk) 14:26, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Usernameunique Thank you, I wrote there and there. --Vyacheslav84 (talk) 05:52, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, Vyacheslav84. Any word back? --Usernameunique (talk) 20:25, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No. --Vyacheslav84 (talk) 06:04, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Usernameunique More precisely, they sent a request to the library website, I wrote it and sent it, after which there was silence. --Vyacheslav84 (talk) 10:08, 8 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Usernameunique They sent a scan of the table of contents itself, but the whole work itself was not. --Vyacheslav84 (talk) 07:13, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Vyacheslav84, are they able to scan any portions of them? --Usernameunique (talk) 21:57, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Usernameunique Yes, but I suspect not all work. --Vyacheslav84 (talk) 07:41, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Vyacheslav84: I have requested #2 via ILL. I would like you to convince me that #1 meets RS requirements before I order it, because master's theses as a rule do not unless they demonstrably had "significant scholarly influence." —Compassionate727 (T·C) 19:55, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Compassionate727: Thank you so much! Well, I'm not sure if it will be useful, but maybe it will be useful. --Vyacheslav84 (talk) 09:51, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Vyacheslav84: Regarding #2, I don't find "maybe it will be useful" sufficiently compelling. Per WP:SCHOLARSHIP, the burden is on you to demonstrate that the source is not merely useful but clearly reliable, as demonstrated by its being widely cited. In the meantime, #1 has arrived. However, the dissertation turns out to be almost 300 pages, a number which I cannot legally scan, and frankly don't want to, either. Please email me, and I will send you the table of contents so you can identify which sections will be most helpful. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 20:13, 12 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Compassionate727: Ok, send the content of the work. How many pages do the conclusions from the work take? Can only send the conclusions themselves? --Vyacheslav84 (talk) 10:08, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Compassionate727: I had another idea: maybe you yourself will supplement the article The old-age-security hypothesis based on the work of Entwisle? Then you will not violate copyright and will be able to use the work to the fullest. --Vyacheslav84 (talk) 11:57, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Vyacheslav84: Sorry, but I definitely do not have time to read and summarize a 300-page dissertation for you. Also, I cannot email attachments through Special:Email, so I need you to email me via that function and then I can reply with the attachment. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 16:29, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Compassionate727: Done. --Vyacheslav84 (talk) 07:21, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Vyacheslav84: Oops, forgot to notify you I   Sent it. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 23:15, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Compassionate727: Thank you received! --Vyacheslav84 (talk) 11:25, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Vyacheslav84: I was expecting you would reply which sections you wanted (using the table of contents I sent to help you decide). Do you still want the conclusion section, or does something else interest you? —Compassionate727 (T·C) 15:11, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Compassionate727: I still have urgent things to do at work in real life. I will write later. --Vyacheslav84 (talk) 11:25, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Vyacheslav84: Well, okay. But I need to return that thesis in a couple of weeks, so make sure you give me enough time to scan what you need. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 13:59, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Compassionate727: I sent you two letters with the required pages. --Vyacheslav84 (talk) 08:21, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Vyacheslav84: Received. I will make the scans when I have some moments to spare. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 17:49, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
