First article is in vol. 10 special issue (1994) and not the regular vol. 10 (June 1995). Second article is in vol. 12 (Aug 1995). I don't have access to print issues of this journal this far back, I used HathiTrust to confirm this. RoseCherry64 (talk) 13:28, 18 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

For Benjamin Arsanis. I don't know quite how to cite this but I'm looking for an article that appeared in an issue of the Soviet (?) journal/magazine Asia and Africa Today in 1978. According to Google Books the relevant portion (concerning Benjamin Arsanis) only takes up one page (which Google Books numbers 61). I can't view the full page on Google Books but it says that the magazine was digitized by the University of Minnesota, which in their database have an issue from 1978 if that is helpful. I don't know the precise issue of the magazine more than the year, nor the title of the article.
Just to clarify, Asia and Africa Today (ISSN 0134-451X; 1961 - 1992) appears to be a (now-discontinued) translation of Azija i Afrika segodnja: ežemesjačnyj, naučnyj i obščestvenno-političeskij žurnal (ISSN 0321-5075; 1961 -). I can't help with this, unfortunately; from where I currently am, I only have access to the Russian original of the 1978 volume. — Pajz (talk) 02:41, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Young, J (August 17, 1995). "Bob'S Head Soup". Herald Sun.
For James Robert Baker, as the article is currently undergoing a FAR. This is one of our more troublesome sources, and unfortunately we don't have any more to go on than this. I wish I could give a page number or edition to narrow it down, however checking the article history provides no such information. I'd check with the editor who added the information, unfortunately they are deceased.
I've tried checking the various newspaper archives through LIB, and it seems as though the Herald Sun is not archived in any. Nor is this piece archived on the Herald Sun's website. As it's an Australian publication and given the age of the citation, it may require a trip to a library with a microfilm archive. The State Library Victoria website states that issues from October 1990 to June 2014 are available in the Newspapers and Family History Reading Room, though due to my unfamiliarity with how that library stores and presents its archives, I cannot find the specific reel or collection this issue is in. Even if someone could get me images or a PDF of the 17 August 1995 edition of the paper, I'm happy to search through that to find the specific article.

I'm looking for the new introduction and/or end notes which is cited in the Japanese wiki article. This is in a few international libraries, even if you don't read Japanese, finding the right pages might still be doable. It's just a few pages according to the National Diet Library.
Doing... Not sure if I can get it. I will try to get it through one of my fellow researchers who works at University of Tokyo. It may takes two-three weeks. --Gazal world (talk) 09:56, 2 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@RoseCherry64: Hi. Sorry for my late response. My friend was super busy last month, but I received his reply today. I will get this paper for you this month. I will also try to get other Japanese-language materials you requested on this page. --Gazal world (talk) 15:20, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Gazal world: Unfortunately, this isn't the right notes, it's just the original 1935 introduction by Ōtaguro. It looks like it might come from an older printing that doesn't have the retrospective introduction by Masui. The other materials you sent were perfect, enormous thanks. RoseCherry64 (talk) 18:47, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Can you tell me again what you want from the book, and from which edition? Any idea about page range ? Please check [National Diet Library] records and give me link of the book. I will request it again. Thanks. --Gazal world (talk) 20:04, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Gazal world: The 1996 reprint by 大空社/Ōzorasha. The following text on NDL's page for this edition translates to "Commentary by Keiji Masui, end pages 1-5" "解説(増井敬二):巻末p1-5" NDL ID which is what I need. Sorry for the confusion and enormous thanks for your continued efforts getting me these valuable resources I couldn't access on my own. RoseCherry64 (talk) 20:30, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Gazal world: The pages were described by NDL as end pages 1–5, so perhaps they're either not numbered or the numbering resets for those pages. The 1996 issue seems to be the only printed version containing Masui's introduction. RoseCherry64 (talk) 23:09, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Okay I got all the Variety articles wikimail me and I'll send them to you; I don't have access to Daily Variety from the 90s. The UCLA Library page [1] has a useful guide and according to that there should be online access to Daily Variety from April 27 1992-March 2013 in "Nexis Uni" (at least in UCLA's subscription), so maybe someone else here has access to that database. Umimmak (talk) 21:02, 22 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Umimmak sorry to bother you but when you found the resources, did the page numbers match? I'm looking through them now and I'm confused why the existning references in the article say like Page 117 (I can't see a page number on the initial page of some of the double pages) but then it'll say "continued on page 37". Maybe that's how Variety works but I'm just curious. Thanks Darkwarriorblake / SEXY ACTION TALK PAGE!13:45, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Darkwarriorblake: yeah the PDFs all have the pages in numerical order, but the article starts at the later page and continues on the earlier page. Strange to me as well, probably should have clarified when I sent them. The {{ProQuest}} IDs should have all the page number/citation info even if you don't have access, but I think also the header should have page info? So like "Arnold conquers Gaul" is p. 72, 68 (but in the PDF p. 68 comes before 72), etc. Umimmak (talk) 19:47, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Umimmak, no for whatever reason the double page PDFs only have the citation details at the top of the first page, and only list that page number. The second page, which is of course the first page, has nothing on it so I was getting confused. But you're right, the actual link shows the page numbers, thanks again. Darkwarriorblake / SEXY ACTION TALK PAGE!23:20, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry to bother you again Umimmak, do you have access to this one?

Greeting. There's a request for following sources.
Alexander, David (2022). A Biographical Dictionary of British and Irish Engravers, 1714-1820. London, New Haven: Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art; distributed by Yale University Press. ISBN1913107213. OCLC1286378106. As the first reference work to cover all engravers working on copper in Britain and Ireland 1714-1820, it would be interesting to check for some additional insight on Claude Du Bosc and John Simon (engraver).
Alis, Bernard (2014). Mademoiselle Desmares de la Comédie-Française (in French). Châtillon: les Amis du vieux Châtillon. ISBN978-2-9513219-0-8. OCLC910889182.. For Charlotte Desmares, as this book seems to be the definitive biography on the subject. For beginning, I'd like to check the table of contents, and some opening parts before going any further. I'm aware though, that there's an earlier 2004 edition of Alis' study that also covers the Swiss banker Antoine Hogguer, Desmares' longtime associate. That edition is also available in the BnF.
Courteaux-Enault, Huguette (1993). "Un tableau inédit de Watteau et la Franc-maçonnerie à Saint-Germain-en-Laye". In Corp, Edward T. (ed.). L'autre exil : les Jacobites en France au début du XVIIIe siècle (collected papers). Montpellier: Presses du Languedoc. pp. 131–142. ISBN2-84062-008-1. OCLC29386382. For Charlotte Desmares, for the requested thesis' author supposes a painting by Antoine Watteau to be a portrayal of Desmares and her company-mate Philippe Poisson, and is giving some insight into Desmares' life.
Potiquet, Alfred (1878) [1876]. Jean-Baptiste Santerre, peintre: sa vie et son oeuvre (in French) (2nd ed.). Magny-en-Vexin: Petit. OCLC458077934.. For Jean-Baptiste Santerre, given that it's the earliest modern biography of him. It has never been republished since 1878, and is certainly a public domain work per U.S. copyright law at least, as more than 130 years has passed since Potiquet's death in 1883. Nevertheless, it's not available in a digitized form via Gallica, archive.org etc.

For James Robert Baker, as the article is currently undergoing a FAR. I'm afraid I don't have much more to go on than this. As with my previous request, I'd check with the editor who added it, but unfortunately they are deceased.
In theory this should be available in Publishers Weekly's digital archive, however I don't have a subscription to this service and it doesn't seem to be covered under The Library. If an editor is able to fulfil this request, in addition to the full text of the piece/section could you include any other useful identifying information like the author at PW, title for the section, and if possible the paywalled URL so we can have as full a citation for this as possible please?
@Sideswipe9th: I have emailed you page 70 from that issue, which is the page that actually contains the review of Baker's Testosterone. (Page 65 is the start of that section, "pwforecasts".) The pwforecasts reviews were written by a team of eight reviewers, but the specific reviewer for each work is anonymous. Here's a paywalled link to page 70: [2]. Let me know if you need any more pages from that section (it's about 30 pages total, all short reviews). DanCherek (talk) 18:54, 29 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@DanCherek: Email received, that's perfect! If it's not too much trouble, could you check if the Publishers Weekly archives have reviews for any of Baker's other books: Adrenaline, Fuel-Injected Dreams, Boy Wonder, Tim and Pete, Right Wing, and Anarchy?

I would need someone to tell me - if possible by sending the image of each articles - what two articles from two issues of The Milwaukee Journal state. Those articles contain crucial information on the Old (Roman) Catholic Church of America. Those articles were once available on Google news but their newspaper has been removed from there.

@Dawit S Gondaria: It's unlikely that you would need the entire page range 210-245 for the articles you're improving. The pages are part of two papers and all of two others, to wit:

Explanation: a review article (p. 77) on Fabula classified the tale as type AaTh 425A (related to "Animal as Bridegroom"), as well as type AaTh 428 ("The Wolf", a fragmentary version of Cupid and Psyche). The reviewer also compared it to the Turkish tale type Eberhard-Boratav 98, "Der Pferdemann", which corresponds to "Cupid and Psyche".
Jolf Staler, per the instructions above, please "Provide as much detail as possible: a full citation with author, title, publisher, and date or identifiers like DOI, ISBN, ISSN, PMID, OCLC, etc." I can likely access the first one some time next week, but am not sure if it will still be relevant for you at that point given the apparent urgency. If it is, please add the author and title to this thread so I can find this section when I'm at the library. — Pajz (talk) 12:44, 4 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Jolf Staler, sent #1. The scanner lost the first two scans (of the title page and the imprint) for some reason, which is a bit unfortunate in this case as I'm somewhat sceptical about the citation given above. For one thing, Rafael Dalmau is the publisher of the work. The library I used doesn't list any author in its catalogue and I doubt that one person authored this entire work (but I don't know). Second, I don't know what this ISBN is for but it differs from the ISBNs for vol 6 and vol 6,2 (which is where I found the requested entry) that I see in other catalogues (eg https://lhiai.gbv.de/DB=2/XMLPRS=N/PPN?PPN=647194414). — Pajz (talk) 16:48, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Pajz, yes, everything has arrived. All that was needed was page 1287; everything you need is on it. I just forgot that the "issue=2" parameter was not reflected in the cite book template. Many thanks. The second query can be executed in "passive" mode. The whole book is not urgent. Jolf Staler (talk) 17:00, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Pajz, could you resend me the pages from this request ([3]). Apparently he accidentally deleted messages in the mail, and these pages are desperately needed. Jolf Staler (talk) 20:02, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Jolf Staler, so all Foix entries except cols 187 through 206, which you already have? Maybe - it depends on how many pages that is. Right now the volume is on loan to another library user, but I've placed a hold on it (so: Doing...). (Also, for the future, please add new requests by creating new sections rather than expanding existing threads. Thanks.) — Pajz (talk) 20:15, 2 April 2022 (UTC) (Edit: Added {doing}, 21:38, 2 April 2022 (UTC))[reply]
Pajz, yes, I need other than these pages. Do not tell me, this is not an electronic library? Just a couple of months ago I was given access to the Wikipedia Library, through which I have access to other archives of books, magazines, newspapers. About adding new requests: I thought if you request this book again, then someone other than you will start looking for these pages, although (I thought so) you could still have access to the missing pages. Jolf Staler (talk) 20:34, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
What I mean by "a library."Jolf Staler, I'm not sure I follow. This is a page to request journal articles and short excerpts from books. Since not every journal or book in the world is available electronically, many requests here are resolved by someone personally making a scan of the physical volume in a library (some editors request the scan be made by library staff). So when you requested a few pages from the Dictionnaire de biographie française a while ago, I ordered the volume at my library, went there, scanned it, and sent you the PDF. "The Wikipedia Library" is an electronic platform for Wikipedia users which provides access to a number of electronic databases. It is extremely useful, but, of course, not every resource is available from there. // As for the new requests: There is nothing wrong with requesting more from a resource, I'm just saying that it's always better to create a new section (at the bottom of this page) since only then will it be seen by everyone interested in helping out here. People monitoring this page primarily look for new threads, not further comments in old threads. A new section can be created by clicking the "Click here to create a new request" link at the top of this page. Also, if more and more requests are added to existing old threads, these get increasingly cluttered and it becomes much less likely that someone willing to help will find the request there. So my advise is: When a thread has been archived and you notice later that in fact you need additional pages from that resource, just click "Click here to create a new request" and just file a new request that way. — Pajz (talk) 21:38, 2 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
DanCherek, that's not all. There is a second book in the main request, which is very necessary, because now I am writing an article about the history of Andorra and this book is just right for this. Jolf Staler (talk) 21:28, 19 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
