Additional dissertation on Dollfuss

Stuck

I would like to get a copy of the following dissertation on Engelbert Dollfuss for the Spanish Wikipedia article on him I am currently expanding:

  1. Austria under the chancellorship of Engelbert Dollfuss, 1932-1934

Thank you in advance!--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 10:14, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

@Rowanwindwhistler, this 1958 dissertation has not been digitized, so you'll likely need to either order a print copy or visit Georgetown or Brigham Young. Marking this thread as Stuck unless someone can do some magic czar 03:05, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
Hmmm, pity. I will try the first option and see what the cost may be. Thank you for trying to locate it anyhow.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 05:59, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
@Rowanwindwhistler, I haven't done this myself, but I remember hearing somewhere that when an older dissertation is ordered, the printing company digitizes the dissertation at the same time and puts it online (which is to say that it isn't cost-effective to digitize an older dissertation unless someone pays for it)—not sure, though czar 00:13, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
Last time I asked the Spanish National Library for one they brought a paper copy all the way from some US university to Spain but it is rather cumbersome. You have to pay for the shipping and then you cannot borrow it, you have read it in the library premises, which happens to be rather far away from home. We will see, I may decide to forget about this one and limit myself to the sources I have at hand. Thank you all the same for looking it up.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 09:56, 17 December 2015 (UTC)

Kent James/Nick Name

The new article Kent James is currently in a poorly referenced state and makes no strong claim of notability under either WP:NMUSIC or WP:NACTOR — so technically it's AFDable. However, there is a potential alternative to deletion here: the subject was formerly known by the pseudonym "Nick Name", under which he fronted a band called "Nick Name and the Normals" who had an independent documentary film made about them in 2004. The problem, however, is that because the band broke up over a decade ago, I'm not finding strong sourcing on Google to determine whether converting this into an article about either the band or the film is a viable alternative or not — and in terms of more specialized login databases, I only have access to ProQuest's Canadian media databases (but not to any of its American ones), newspapers.com and EBSCOhost. None of which assisted at all, so shifting the article's focus doesn't look promising at this point, but I still wanted to ask if somebody could run a check on Nick Name and the Normals in other databases (Highbeam? Other ProQuest databases that I don't have access to?) before I officially list this for AFD. Thanks. Bearcat (talk) 19:46, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

Your Computer (homecomputer magazine 80s)

Hi, I need to check a review published in the UK computer magazine Your Computer from november 1983 for the Spectravideo SV-318 homecomputer article in German Wikipedia. All other issues of that magazine are available online at archive.org but not this particular issue :o( Unfortunately I don't have page numbers. Any help where to find the mag online or a copy of the review would be highly appreciated. --Knurrikowski (talk) 08:44, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi @Knurrikowski: No real solutions for UK computer magazine Your Computer from November 1983 Volume 3 Number 11 but a few ideas:
  • First, I'm inferring volume/number from this image of the cover from the UK centre for computing history; you could check if they have a research service available to get scans.
  • Alas, I double-checked the archive.org listings for Your Computer and agree this issue is missing; you could email Jason Scott (archive.org staffer who has a personal interest in microcomputer history) to see if they do have a copy waiting to be scanned.
  • It appears that ISSN is 0263-0885 and using the OCLC number, 465364609, you can see a list of libraries that have *some* holdings of this magazine.
  • The British Library runs an on-demand service and that would be a pretty sure way to get a copy.
  • Ulrich's claims that there are two abstracting & indexing services: Construction Research and Innovation (Active) (Print) and Guidelines (Ceased) (Print). That sounds suspicious to me and these are both in print, so I think getting the page number without a copy in front of you or an author's name is going to be difficult.
  • I'd suggest posting at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games and possibly reaching out to folks at the World of Spectrum site.

Modern source for the population of Londinium

I am looking for "Londinium and Beyond: Essays on Roman London and Its Hinterland", John Clark (ed), 2008, the chapter titled "The Population of Roman London" by Williams, T; Swain, H., to get current expert estimates for the population of Londinium. I've tried searching for the chapter itself (since the book is mostly a collection of conference papers) but without luck. --Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 17:18, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

@Tiptoethrutheminefield: No real answers, but some directions:
  • People can check nearby library holdings in WorldCat; this looks like a special research report of the Council for British Archaeology so I'm not surprised you can't find the chapter itself; UCL has the abstract only (no full-text) publicly available in its repository. First author Tim Williams might be willing to give a copy by email, or the population quote you are looking for; and we find the full citation formatted thus: Williams, T., Swain, H. (2008). The population of Roman London. In Clark, J., Cotton, J., Hall, J., Sherris, R., Swain, H. (Eds.), Londinium and beyond. Essays on Roman London and its hinterland for Harvey Sheldon. (pp. 33-40). York: Council for British Archaeology.
  • At King's College London, there is a module (=AmE course) on Roman London; likely you know the rest of the (older) bibliography there. But perhaps the instructor would be willing to give the figure you need...

@Tiptoethrutheminefield: Are you still looking for this chapter? Doc Taxon (talk) 07:54, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
@Doc Taxon: Yes I am, or at least the article is, since Londinium still does not have data on the current accepted estimates for the population. There is an editor on the Londinium article, Dr.K, who insists on using the older and now invalid population estimates you still find reproduced in general non-academic sources, so a modern specialist source is needed.

ToC for A Study of Cahamana Inscriptions of Rajasthan

Does anyone have access to the table of contents of this book?

I've been trying to get hold of this book to improve Chahamanas of Shakambhari, but it is out-of-stock on online shopping sites such as Amazon and Flipkart. If I can see the table of contents (the list of inscriptions), I can at least look for the descriptions of these inscriptions in alternative sources. utcursch | talk 04:18, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

@Utcursch: If someone could get hold of the ToC, would it help if you could then request pages based on the table of contents? I can request this book out of storage, but whether you want additional scans after the ToC will affect how I request access to this book (either via scans or a copy of the book itself). ~ Rob13Talk 05:25, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
@BU Rob13: Thanks for responding. At this point, I don't really know which page in the book contains what. So, yes, it'd help if I am able to request some additional pages based on the table of contents.
What I need is a list of inscriptions issued by the Chahamana kings, including find-spot, the reigning king, and the year of issue (e.g. "Anvalda pillar inscription of Someśvara V. @. 1234"). Once I have this list, I can find more details about those inscriptions from other sources that I've access to (unfortunately, those sources do not contain a systematic list of all the available inscriptions).
Google Book snippets suggest that such lists of inscriptions are available on pages 252-253 and 312-? (Bibliography section) of the book. utcursch | talk 14:39, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

The Ibis

Can anyone source for me the additional detail I need to make this citation transparent:

"Unknown Title". The Ibis. British Ornithologists' Union: 422. 1887.

That is, the source is a journal and I believe the cite is to a collection of articles, so I would hope someone could look at page 422 (I am using a detail I can see in Google snippet view from it), and then tell me name of the article it comes from, all author names, and the date, volume and issue no. of The Ibis it originally appeared in.

@Fuhghettaboutit: p. 422 is from: Wray, Richard B. (October 1887). "On the Structure of the Barbs, Barbules, and Barbicels of a Typical Pennaceous Feather". The Ibis. 29 (4): 420–423. Wiley has it but a free version of the journal is held on the Internet Archive.

Verification of alleged fake star name in celestial atlas

Title: "Atlas coeli Skalnaté Pleso II.: Katalog 1950.0"
Author: Antonín Bečvář
Publishing: Přírodovědecké Vydavatelstrí
Year: 1951
Page: 286

A rather common vandalism act consists in adding fake names to star articles in the Wikipedia (more information here). I have found a probable fake name for Delta Aquilae, "Denebokab" or "Deneb Okab", about which there is no reliable source prior to its addition in the mentioned Wikipedia article. Most probably, if not vandalism, the alleged fake name is due to a confusion with Epsilon Aquilae and Zeta Aquilae which are both named similarly ("Deneb el Okab", having reliable sources both).

However, upon my "citation needed" request, a user has recently added a citation, in theory reliable, but very difficult to verify. Therefore I ask for collaboration to check this name. I am almost sure the name such name is not in any book (also because such a name is nonsense: "deneb okab" means "tail of the eagle", an this star is not the tail but the chest of the eagle).

Here is an English version of the same book, although it is not the edition added as source in the article. --Eynar Oxartum (talk) 16:42, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

@Eynar: The book is available on GBooks. If you can't access it, I can send a PDF of the page. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 02:02, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
@Eynar and Lithopsian: The Google Books snippet view doesn't help because the book hasn't been indexed for searching (perhaps because it's almost entirely tables of numbers). The cited page number is also incorrect. The citing editor may have mistakenly entered the number of pages the book has (286 is the last numbered page), rather than the page number that supports the statement.
Email me for a scan of the relevant page (p. 277). It is the first page of the second table in the "Tables" appendix, titled "TAB. II. JMÉNA HVĔZD.", and below that "Названия звезд — Names of the stars." Five names in the table begin with "Deneb", including Deneb Okab, which is listed as being in constellation δ Aql with GC 26816 (GC being defined in the introduction as "čislo v Bossově General Catalogue"). --Worldbruce (talk) 18:53, 10 November 2016 (UTC)

Katie talk show 5/30/2013

In one of the articles here on Wikipedia about a living person, Jacob Barnett, there is in the article and in the latest Afd for the same article listed a link for a Katie Couric talk show where she interviews the aforementioned person. In the article (as of today December 4th 2016) the link provided is this: katiecouric.com/ whereas the link in the Afd is given as this: katiecouric.com/2013/05/30/living-with-autism/

The latter link would suggest an air-date of May 30th 2013, and this seems to be confirmed by a listing of the show on www.tv.com: Katie Couric chats with 14-year-old genius The title of this specific show/segment could be: "The 14-Year-Old Living with Autism Who Could Win a Nobel Prize".

Hi. I'm working on a destub for Josephine Apieu Jenaro Aken and I would like to know if she appears in:

  • Arop Madut Arop (2006) Sudan's Painful Road To Peace: Founding and Development of SPLM/SPLA, ISBN 1-4196-1153-4.

A brief notice in Engineering of 1932

Resolved

For Reed water tube boiler, I would be very grateful for a copy of a brief notice in Engineering of the death of Joseph William Reed, the boiler's creator. It's available on Google Books, which reports the volume as being number 133 of 1932 and the page as 374, but I'm only seeing snippet view, so it might start on p. 373 or extend to p. 375. I would also be grateful for a copy of the volume's title page, or confirmation of the volume number and year. TIA. Nortonius (talk) 14:34, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

@Nortonius: Via search only on the Hathi Trust, I can confirm the snippet is only on p374, and is found in v133 of 1932 (published in the first half of the year, Jan-Jun). I don't have access beyond the Google Books snippet, though. ~ Rob13Talk 16:29, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
That's a great help BU Rob13, thank you very much! I'll hold on in case anyone can get me a full copy though – GB won't let me see the whole thing, and for now what I can see is rather tantalising! Cheers. Nortonius (talk) 16:37, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

Battle of the boilers

Resolved

For Reed water tube boiler, or indeed any related topic, I'd be very grateful for a full copy of "Battle of the boilers". It appeared in Journal of the American Society of Naval Engineers, volume 67, issue 1,[9] but according to that source it was reprinted there from The Engineer, where it first appeared on 16 & 23 July 1954, presumably in two parts. A copy from either source would be more than fine. TIA. Nortonius (talk) 13:39, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

Another I haven't actually seen (incredibly slow connection, arrgh): Try 16 July and 23 July. BlackcurrantTea (talk) 00:12, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
That's it, perfect! Thanks so much – again! Sorry you have such a slow connection, which makes it even kinder of you to bother... It looks like I must learn how to search Grace's properly: searches I've made have been frustratingly arduous so I've been put off. Maybe there's something I've missed. Thanks again.

Ilka Agricola - Reliable Third Party Sources

I have searched and searched and couldn't find much, so any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Looking for details about her life; i.e., was born on this day, received PhD here, etc. I have a source already providing these details but it isn't as reliable (and it might not even be a third party source). --Heather.nerd (talk) 16:13, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

@KAVEBEAR: I have access, but do you know how many pages the sections before the first chapter will be? This is relevant to how I'm able to access the text. ~ Rob13Talk 01:45, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
@BU Rob13: This http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip0724/2007031494.html says page 8. So I need everything up to page 8. Thanks.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 03:22, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
@KAVEBEAR: Sorry, not sure I was clear. I've got the start/end page numbers, it's just unclear how many pages are in between due to the Roman numeral page numbering. Do you happen to know? I would typically request that the library scan the pages for me and just send me the copy, given the facility this book is held in, but there is a limit to how much they're willing to scan. If the foreward and notes are long enough, I may have to instead request that they transfer the book to a facility I can access. Do you have a ballpark estimate of the total number of pages that would be covered by requesting i to 8? ~ Rob13Talk 04:25, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
@BU Rob13: From what I can tell the Roman numerals end at xv. So it should be around fifteen pages for the foreword plus eight pages for a total of 23 pages. If that is too much the range can be shorten to iv to 8, since the Roman numerals before are table of content pages that I don't necessarily need.
