Wall Street Journal edit

  Resolved
 – Many thanks to Commander Keane

Hello, I'm looking for the following

  • quote="Where [The Epoch Times] and [NTDTV] are controversial is in their unwillingness to identify themselves as having any association with the group, despite ample evidence to the contrary."
  • author=Susan V. Lawrence
  • title= Falun Gong Adds Media Weapons In Struggle With China's Rulers
  • work=Wall Street Journal (Eastern edition)
  • date=April 14, 2004
  • page=B.2I

So far I looked at google for the content and for the title

I emailed wsj.com and got the following response: "Wall Street Journal Online subscribers can access WSJ.com articles that have appeared within the past 2 years. Through the advanced search feature, WSJ.com subscribers can browse past print and online editions via Factiva; there is no charge to view headlines, and a charge of $2.95 to view articles. WSJ print articles going back to 1979 and WSJ.com articles to November 8, 2006, are available. Please visit wsj.com. Current print subscribers receive a discounted Wall Street Journal Online rate of $49.00 for the first year.

Factiva provides access to The Wall Street Journal print edition database via a Factiva subscription. Visit Factiva at http://www.factiva.com for subscription details or call 1-800-369-0166."

So I searched factiva, see here.

And now I'm a bit lost, because all the searches show that this article does not exist, yet, it is repeatedly inserted again: this source, reinserted here and here, after notifying the author.

Could anyone help me on this, and check if this publication exists? Thank you in advance. --HappyInGeneral (talk) 08:10, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have a subscription to Factiva (via a university). The article does exist on there, 540 words. I can easily email it to anyone who needs it.--Commander Keane (talk) 08:30, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Great, thank you! Could you please email it to me and to Peter.guan, he asked about this source here? Thank you again! --HappyInGeneral (talk) 21:03, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
BTW, I just got a trial subscription on http://iworks.factiva.com , which will work for 7 days, but I'm not quite sure how to look in the archives. Do you have a bit of advice on that? Thank you! --HappyInGeneral (talk) 21:04, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not really sure about that version. For the usual version there is a search bar, so to bring up the article i put in the full title "Falun Gong Adds Media Weapons In Struggle With China's Rulers" and it popped up as the only entry. The search works on exact phrases so to combine phrases I use "AND". For example "Falun Gong AND media" is a search that will probably bring up relevant articles. I don't use the inverted commas in any of the searches.--Commander Keane (talk) 07:09, 14 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
