January 2014 edit

John Lovelady living persons bio edit

I would very much appreciate some help in finding how to help Jimmartin15 with reliable sources for John Lovelady's biography, as C.Fred has said he knows Mr. Lovelady in person, and has been in contact with the webmaster of a website with a section about Mr. Lovelady, but has had trouble finding if he can even include it without violating WP:COPYRIGHT. Many thanks, Zenvalharo (talk) 04:46, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Zenvalharo - I don't think Jimmartin15 can include the text of or a summary of the text of tgscoaster.com/cast/john-lovelady in Wikipedia since an "Original Fan Website Dedicated To The Great Space Coaster" probably does not meet WP:RS, even if WP:COPYRIGHT can be addressed. It is a good source to use to look for reliable sources. Some source to look at: New York Times pre-1981 search; John J. O'Connor (February 18, 1981), "TV: 'Great Space Coaster,' New Children's Show", New York Times, p. C31; March 13, 1992; November 5, 1995; August 4, 1989; March 18, 2013. -- Jreferee (talk) 19:58, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Inner Seven edit

This is not online in its entirety as far as I can tell, but it would be extremely useful if anyone has a copy or access through a library etc: Oliver, William E.; Lorenz, Dwight L. (1999). The Inner Seven: The History of Seven Unique American Combat 'Aces' of World War II and Korea. Turner Publishing Company. ISBN 978-1-56311-504-2. (specifically pages 68, 73, 74, 77, 79, and 81). Thanks, ~HueSatLum 02:49, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Journal of theological studies edit

  Insufficient information

articles on ways to view the trinity with regard to Christian Science. There is an article in the Journal of theological studies. Can you access that?--Simplywater (talk) 04:48, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Can you provide more specific information about this article, such as the title? Thanks. Gamaliel (talk) 16:53, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Echinodermata edit

Can I get ahold of "Echinodermata" by D. Nichols 1979 [1] please? Thank you in advance.--Mr Fink (talk) 20:55, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Which page do you want it? This book falls under reference so I can't borrow it. OhanaUnitedTalk page 19:52, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
If you'll forgive me for being vague, it's the pages about or mentioning the Parablastoidea.--Mr Fink (talk) 17:05, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'll see if I can take photos of those pages. OhanaUnitedTalk page 18:26, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Cook PVIs edit

I'm looking for a reliable source for 2010 Cook PVIs for U.S. House districts, i.e. those based on the 2004 and 2008 presidential elections and using the congressional districts that existed prior to redistricting mandated by the 2010 census (rather than those for the districts created after redistricting, which were first used in the 2012 elections). This archived page contains links to the data which presumably worked when it was published in April 2009, but no longer do (though perhaps they work for Cook subscribers)? The information is to be used in the state-by-state articles in Category:United States House of Representatives elections, 2010. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 02:46, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As an example, I believe that you are looking for an online source having a table that includes the 2010 Cook Partisan Voting Index for each of the seven districts mentioned in United States House of Representatives elections in Alabama, 2010, where the Cook Partisan Voting Index itself uses the 2004 and 2008 drawn districts for the 2010 Cook Partisan Voting Index. -- Jreferee (talk) 14:17, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Right. By way of comparison, here's the 2012 chart, which is based on the 2004 and 2008 presidential elections but uses the districts that came into effect in 2012 rather than those used in 2010. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 04:14, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Lenin and the Cheka edit

I am currently expanding the article on Lenin in the Spanish Wikipedia and would like to check:

Could someone get a copy for me? I could find any online... Thank you in advance.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 14:46, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's ISSN 0039-6192. Do you have an issue number? Four issues were published in 1979 - no. 106,107,108 and 109.GabrielF (talk) 07:53, 19 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Proquest has an archive of the Economist covering this period but it doesn't seem to include this item. I think the reason is that what you found is an advertisement. Not all magazine archives include advertisements. I'm also dubious that they pass WP:RS. Zerotalk 01:01, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting. It could be used as a primary source but that's it. WhisperToMe (talk) 01:03, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Does anybody have access to the catalogue of this exhibition? Unfortunately I cannot find it in European libraries.[3][4] I have written an article about Marija Feliksovna Bri-Bejn in the German Wikipedia.

Federico Zeri visiting professorship edit

I am editting Federico Zeri. His Literary executioner write in bio he had been a visiting professor at Harvard and Columbia. I can't find a more objective source for exactly that. A 1966 report from Villa I Tatti put him as a guest there, (Newsletter I - January 1966.pdf (PDF), retrieved 2014-01-12) but that means staying up to a month. A letter at Harvard Crimson, mentions he had a "lectureship" sometime before 1974 [7]. On a book, Christiane L. Joost-Gaugier mentions him as her first "mentor" in Harvard, where she studied from the late fifties to 1961.[8]. What firmer Harvard (and Columbia) documents can be consulted? --trespassers william (talk) 21:28, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Dictionary of Art Historians, which appears to be RS, mentions that he was a visiting professor at Harvard and Columbia, but does not say when or give any other details. Perhaps some of the sources there cited would be helpful. The school catalogs from the period likely would be primary resources, although those are probably available only at the schools themselves.

United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine edit

A request at the Help Desk Wikipedia:Help_desk#In_WP_terms raised an issue of whether the language "Lord Curzon, who later succeeded as foreign secretary, wrote" was supported by the source or did the source support "Lord Curzon, a British cabinet member, wrote." The editor PLNR wrote: "Considering that at the time his view was a minority view, which was voted down, and later when he came into the position of foreign secretary, his view haven't effected the British policy in that regard. So basically it used to misleadingly imply that what he wrote had more significant impact that what it did." The language "Lord Curzon, who later succeeded as foreign secretary, wrote" is in the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine article and was added 29 November 2012. The cited reference was The Arabs page 174. The citation reference now is The Arabs pp. 172–175. Please look through pp. The Arabs 172–175 and revise the Lord Curzon sentence in the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine article to reflect a summary of that source. Thanks. -- Jreferee (talk) 14:23, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The exact wording of the source (p175) is "Lord Curzon, who later succeeded Balfour as foreign secretary, wrote in a memorandum". The same emphasis appears in the source on page 188: "As Lord Curzon, who succeeded Balfour as foreign secretary in 1920, said openly in the House of Lords on 25 June 1929:". So this way of characterising Curzon is supported by the source. Zerotalk 06:53, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sterculia khasiana edit

I am looking for Debbarman's article about Sterculia khasiana In: Assam Forest Records. Botany. Calcutta, India 1: 5, t. 3. 1934 [Jul 1934] (as Stercula khasiana). Unfortunately this work is not available in German libraries but maybe in England or in India. Is someone here who could help me to get this article? Many thanks in advance --Melly42 (talk) 20:26, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is going to be a tough one. WorldCat lists Assam Forest Records. Botany. (OCLC #3994939) as only being available in four institutions: Harvard, the Smithsonian, Oxford, and the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University. You might have to contact an editor who has access to one of those libraries. Gamaliel (talk) 19:15, 5 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
What do you mean with editor? I don't think that the editors who participated at the 1934 issue are still alive. --Melly42 (talk) 05:58, 6 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Melly42: If a secondary source is enough, you can try this Shyamal (talk) 04:10, 14 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Shyamal. I know that source. But it seems that there are two scientific descriptions by Debbarman. The first one (in Assam Forest Records, 1934a) and the second (1934b in Flora of Assam). My question is how can I contact the people who have access to the contemplable libraries. --Melly42 (talk) 11:10, 16 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Melly42: I have posted the request to a Facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/indianflora/ will be quite difficult unless there is a motivated Wikipedian who lives in Guwahati, Assam willing to help - I am sure the library of the Assam Forest Department will have a copy.

Verification of Japanese Wikipedia's source stating that the perpetrator in Sasebo Slashing having been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome edit

ISBN-13: 978-4062130417 [9]

I mention this on the article's talk page: [10]

Unfortunately, this book is out of print; while used sources are available, they are hard to have delivered (and expensive) when you live outside of Japan. Apparently, the editors at the Japanese Wikipedia are satisfied this source satisfies the statement that the perpetrator was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome, but I am told that is not good enough for the English Wikipedia. The source appears to be reliable and of high-quality, written by an investigative journalist and published by Kodansha, a major Japanese publisher. An editor of the English Wikipedia would have to verify for themselves the source.

Could an editor here take a look at and verify the source again for the purposes of the English Wikipedia, so the statement may be written in the article Sasebo Slashing?--Beneficii (talk) 22:31, 23 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if independent sources (and any others would likely be WP:COI) simply do not exist, there is nothing to find. And that in itself is evidence of non-notability.

Canadian Art circa 1951–1952? edit

There is a review of Southern Cross by Laurence Hyde in an issue of Canadian Art, circa 1951–1952.

Google Books shows a snippet of the review, but I can't tell which issue it is—the result is a package of Volumes 8 through 10 lumped together.

I'd appreciate it if I could get ahold of this review, or if someone could assure me there's nothing i the reivew worth adding got the Southern Cross article. Thanks, Curly Turkey (gobble) 23:32, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Masclet, Jean Claude: «Droit électoral» edit

I need the aforementioned work to complete the Spanish Wikipedia's article es:Derecho electoral, and if necessary, the article Election law here.

I need mostly the first chapter, but can help to get more. --Zerabat (talk) 14:13, 25 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There are several OCLC records for that work listed here. (The several variations in capitalization, hyphenation, and use of accents in both the title and the author name lead to distinct OCLC records, eventually these should get resolved by redirects to one merged master record, likely at OCLC 19262262.) It would seem that this work is distinct from the smaller related work he issued in 1992. Altogether there are only 107 libraries listed as holding the 1989 work, which marks it as a bit obscure. Even french-language law schools don't all hold it, but the largest ones seem to. I doubt if it is available in digital form (too old for born-digital, yet far too new for scanned PD).

Reculver edit

I'd be very grateful if someone would consult the following in connection with the article for Reculver:

  • Ward, D.J. (1978), The lower London Tertiary (Palaeocene) succession of Herne Bay, Kent, H.M.S.O, ISBN 978-0-11-884052-1

It's only 12 pages long I believe, so I think any scanning or photocopying of multiple pages might be an infringement of copyright...? If so, I just need page numbers to support the statements referenced "[115]" in the following quotation from the article: the statements concern a) the Thanet Sand Formation forming the base of cliffs in the Reculver and Herne Bay area, and b) the highest cliffs there having a cap of London Clay.

Nearby Herne Bay is the type location for the Thanet Sand Formation, a fine-grained sand that can be clayey and glauconitic and is of Thanetian (late Paleocene) age.[114] It rests unconformably on the Chalk Group[114] and forms the base of the cliffs in the Reculver and Herne Bay area.[115] Above the Thanet Sand are the Upnor Formation, a medium sandstone,[116] and the sandy clays of the Harwich Formation at the Paleocene/Eocene boundary.[117] The highest cliffs, rising to a maximum height of about 115 feet (35 m) to the west of Reculver,[118] have a cap of London Clay,[115] a fine silty clay of Eocene age.[119]

Italian source needs verifying edit

Hi, I am working on improving the Italian invasion of France article. An editor (who is quickly developing a bad reputation) has claimed that the below source states the following "Italy's limited incursion into south-eastern France had been, despite initial setbacks, relatively successful from a military, strategic and political point of view." (pulled from the article, so not a direct quote although considering some of this editors comments it maybe).

Source: Zamagni, V (ed), Come Pedere la Pace e Vincere la Guerra, Il Mulino, Bologna, 1997

I do not have access to this source and from what I have found online, using google translate, the intro states that the book is an economic history of the 1940s and 1950s with six essays from six different economic historians. The editor has refused to provide any additional information, and considering the editors problems and the fact that the majority of historians disagree with what the source apparently states, this information needs to be verified.

The editor claims that the above information is on page 53. If anyone has access to this source, can they please clarify:

  • If the above is actually stated on page 53
  • If so, why (what is the greater context)?
  • If so, which of the six historians actually makes this claim

Reference work articles on Soka Gakkai edit

By which I mean about SG itself, not about any particular members, leaders, etc. Such articles available to anyone who has one or more of the databank subscriptions in particular would be most welcome.

News archive search requested and possibly Lexis/Westlaw for Minnesota Fats article edit

Google News Archive being useless, lo now these many, many months, is really painful. Regarding Minnesota Fats, a source I've come across writes that Wanderone actually sued Tevis and possibly Twentieth Century Fox, or vice versa, whereas most sources just state that a lawsuit was threatened. It says the "court battle made front page news across the nation for several weeks in 1962". I want the skinny on this lawsuit, if it existed, for the article. A newspaperarchive.com or similar search would be great, maybe pegging 1962 and using tevis wanderone as the search grist; a Lexis/Westlaw search would be great as well, especially if there's an opinion (though even if there was a lawsuit, it's not unlikely it never made it to the appellate level).--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 23:13, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Fuhghettaboutit: I'm skeptical that there was a lawsuit brought by Rudolf or Rudolph Wanderone (our article and your source say "Rudolf," but the newspaper articles all seem to say "Rudolph"), the man who claimed that the fictional character "Minnesota Fats" was based on him. There was nothing relevant on Westlaw, although I wouldn't necessarily expect there to be even if a suit had been filed. More to the point, searches of ProQuest Historical Newspapers and Newspaper Archive found a few articles, in 1961, 1962, and 1964, that referred to a suit brought by Wanderone, but these are just passing references, obviously based on statements by Wanderone and lacking basic information such as the court and the name of his lawyer. A 1966 article, written under the assumption that Wanderone was the original Minnesota Fats, said, "When Gleason came out as Minnesota Fats, the genuine article cried foul and there was talk of law suits, but there also was a lot of free publicity and now things couldn't be better." Clifton Terry, Minnesota Fats, Chicago Tribune (Jan. 2, 1966). That sounds to me like the suit never got past the talking stage. In any case, it's obviously untrue that the court battle made front page news across the nation in 1962. If you want the articles, email me and I'll reply with PDFs.

Anyway, thanks for the searches! You've confirmed my suspicion that the outlier source got it wrong and that it was just threatened. I would have loved to see that lawsuit if it had been brought.

Hey John. Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it. A bit disappointing, though, that it turned out to be an SSDI listing rather than an obituary (after all, it was published by Union-News). OscarL 00:26, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, there was also an obituary, of sorts, in the Union-News, but there wasn't much to it, so I didn't think you would be interested. As I look at it, though, I see it states a different birth year, which would certainly be relevant to longevity research. Here it is. John M Baker (talk) 14:11, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Associated Press or New York World Telegram from 1956 edit

A quote from AP in 1956 is sourced in a number of articles and has been discussed at Talk:Expulsions_of_Egyptian_Jews_(1956)#Proclamation_re_Jews_and_Zionists. It is an important quote because it appears to contradict other public statements from the Egyptian government at the time (this was during the Suez Crisis). The secondary sources which provide reference to the primary newspaper sources are not themselves WP:RS, hence the need to review the newspaper articles.

The quote:

  • "all Jews are Zionists and enemies of the state"

The sources:

  • AP, (November 26, 1956)
  • New York World Telegram, (November 29, 1956)

Does anyone have searchable access to the archives for these sources? --Oncenawhile (talk) 19:13, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Oncenawhile: I don't have access to the New York World Telegram or to the AP wire itself, but I do have access to archives of newspapers that frequently ran AP stories. None of the AP stories include this quotation, although there are AP stories about the expulsion of Egyptian Jews, which was big news at the time. John M Baker (talk) 05:26, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks John. Perhaps these archives are just not available. It would make a big difference to find the source because this quote is the only known support for the idea that the Egyptian government targeted Jews per se (i.e. rather than targeting British nationals, French nationals and Zionists, which is what other evidence suggests).

Since there seems to only a very few copies at a very few universities, the chance of this getting resolved is rather low unfortunately.--Kmhkmh (talk) 11:41, 21 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Kmhkmh, I've sent you "Morphological Characteristics of the Diatom Flora of Lake Waiau" and "The Diatoms of Contemporary and Ancient Sediments from Lake Waiau" by mail. Also, regarding the thesis, in case you wish to request a copy from the author, here is the contact information. Regards, - NQ (talk) 12:01, 21 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Newsweek, November 2, 1964 edit

The "Life and Leisure" column of the 2 November 1964 issue of Newsweek is about Dmitri Borgmann. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to print the microfilmed version came across long ago, and my notes are proving incomplete. Could someone send me a copy of this article? (Also appreciated would be the follow-up letter to the editor about this article, which appeared in a subsequent 1964 issue.) —Psychonaut (talk) 10:19, 28 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I managed to track down a photocopy of the 2 November 1964 "Life and Leisure" column myself. I'd still be interested in the subsequent letter to the editor if anyone has it. —Psychonaut (talk) 11:16, 5 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

San Jose Mercury -- 1981 article edit

  Resolved
 – [20] - NQ (talk) 16:08, 21 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I need an as-yet unidentified article on page 45 of the October 30, 1981 issue of the San Jose Mercury. The author is Murray Frymer, and the article mentions runner Harold Abrahams and (presumably) the film Chariots of Fire. NOTE: I need the entire article, so if it jumps to or from another page, I need both sections/pages.

I cannot access the article from where I live, and the SJ Mercury digital archive only goes back to 1985.

Articles being improved: Harold Abrahams and Chariots of Fire. (This SJM article by Frymer was the sole source of a widespread internet rumor that Abrahams converted to Catholicism, a falsehood that perennially gets repeatedly placed in these articles, even though this rumor has been refuted by Abrahams' official biographer. I need to read the article to see what the heck it says and why.) Thanks so much magical wiki people!

@Softlavender: Page 54 or 45? Here it mentions the article being on page 45. - NQ (talk) 18:09, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oops, you're absolutely right. And that online Jump Cut review/webpage is where the rumor started from. I will edit my request accordingly. Thanks for checking -- you are awesome! Softlavender (talk) 23:19, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

chromatography training edit

  Not done

Does anyone know where I may find some online training in HPLC chromatography? --67.98.26.252 (talk) 13:58, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't really the place to ask that. This notice board is for people editing wikipedia who are looking for specific reference materials to verify or add references. I think you want the general reference help desk: Wikipedia:Reference desk and then pick the category from that page that most closely matches whatever HPLC chromatography is. --MadScientistX11 (talk) 14:45, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Argyreia nervosa seed constituent articles edit

I would like the following articles to add more details to the seed constituent section of Argyreia nervosa I've created. Various searches have been to no avail on finding these, and the amount of detail included by other papers citing them is minimal from what I can see.

  • Biswas, B., L. D. Tiwari, and S. Dutt. "Chemical composition of the fixed oil from the seeds of Argyreia speciosa." Indian Soap J 13 (1947): 51-4.
  • Batra, A., and B. K. Mehta. "Chromatographic analysis and antibacterial activity of the seed oil of Argyreia speciosa." Fitoterapia (1985).
