[edit]
Resolved

I'm looking to have access to A photon–photon collider in a vacuum hohlraum in Nature. I will send an email to anybody who can get it and you can send it to me in pdf, thanks. I will use it mainly to add some information, but mainly a source, on the photon article on the French Wikipedia, but maybe also in English and other articles as well.

I'm would appreciate receiving the full text of "On the Jaw of a New Carnivorous Dinosaur from the Oxford Clay of Peterborough" doi:10.1144/GSL.JGS.1893.049.01-04.46. It would help expand Sarcolestes, currently a very small article with little to no references. Also, it would allow me to identify which orientation the single drawing of the jaw is in. Thank you.

The 1967 6 day war causes- according to Richard B. Parker

[edit]
Resolved

Richard B. Parker's book: The Politics of Miscalculation in the Middle East, draws on unpublished accounts and interviews, to explain why did the Six Day War take place.

Brook's book says:"15- According tp Parker (1993:79), Zakariya Mohieddin, Egypt's vice president, attributed Nasser's behaviour to a flare up of his diabetes." [1]

I will appreciate it if one can quote Parker on ex senior Egyptians officials views, and especially Zakaria Mohieddin (who was a vice president then) view.

note: I asked at the help desk have not received a reply there.

Manchester Guardian article

The material is reproduced at Polly Toynbee - The Value of a Grandfather Figure. The article for which the material is being sought is Daisaku Ikeda.

I am quite willing to cite form the above-mentioned article, but do get the impression that efforts are being made to make the content of the article unavailable to a Wikipedia user. The issue has been discussed on my talk page just as well as on the of talk of John Carter and the talk page of Daisaku Ikeda. My intention is that the information is made available to all readers without me or anyone relying on quotes and citations only. --Catflap08 (talk) 18:48, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much!!! I already have a PDF of the article – nope did not have to pay for it. I will elaborate more on what bugs me most in the article on Daisaku Ikeda. At this point what irritates me is that religious fanaticism has a fair playground within Wikipedia and this does bother me quite much.I am well aware that I can quote the article to my heart’s content, but apart from doing that the reader should be allowed to read the original.--Catflap08 (talk) 20:05, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

EBSCOhost link -- Yuccas: 'Ghosts in the Graveyard'

[edit]
Resolved

I would appreciate a little help from an editor with fulltext access to this newspaper article. I am trying to source an uncited claim I found in the Yucca lead paragraph: "It is also colloquially known in the lower Midwest United States as "ghosts in the graveyard", as it is commonly found growing in rural graveyards and when in bloom the cluster of (usually pale) flowers on a thin stalk appear as floating apparitions." So far this is the only seemingly reliable source I have found for the colloquialism that is not an echo of Wikipedia. Does the above source support both claims (nickname and reason for nickname) in that sentence and is this newspaper/article/author considered a WP:RS ? Thank you. --104.32.193.6 (talk) 16:53, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, the article appears in the January 18, 2012 issue of the Hays Free Press. You can view the full article here. - Another more evocative name for them is 'ghosts in the graveyard.' This comes from the high number of yuccas growing wild in forgotten graveyards, where their large white flower clusters appear as 'ghosts' in the moonlight. - NQ (talk) 14:14, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks NQ. It is tenuous to claim the entire "lower Midwest" region from that citation but the paper is *in* the Midwest (Texas) so the claim is technically correct. There is no way to say yay or nay that the colloquialism is used anywhere but where the author heard it. I will update the article with your provided citation.

To put an end to a discussion going on for a while on the article on Daisaku Ikeda I would like to know if this quote can be found in the above-mentioned work or in an interview by Murata: “Ikeda, who admitted to hitting the priest "once or twice" later referred to the incident as an "act of kindness" because "the old priest, made to realize his apostasy, was grateful to Toda and Soka Gakkai and died a happy man."[21]” --Catflap08 (talk) 11:31, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Catflap08, here is the relevant text: [4] [5] [6] -
Recalling this incident in an interview with this author in July 1956,Toda admitted hitting the priest "twice" and said that this was the cause of the extremely unfavorable press his organization then received-which labeled Soka Gakkai as a "violent religion".............In a pamphlet issued in May 1955, Ogasawara similarly "repented" his "indiscretion in having had the unfortunate conflict with Soka gakkai." Ikeda, who led the four thousand young men to mob Ogasawara, says now that the incident was an act of kindness because the old priest, made to realize his apostasy, was grateful to Toda and Soka gakkai and died a happy man.

Requesting as many reference sources relating to Est, Werner Erhard, and Landmark Education from as many databanks as I can get

[edit]
Resolved

One of the outcomes of a recent arbitration case was to try to involve more editors in the articles relating to Est and its successor entities, specifically including Landmark Worldwide. I think one of the best indicators of what sort of content our articles should have would be what other existing reference sources, of any kind, say about the topic. It does broadly fall within the general areas of social movements/sociology, psychology, new religious movements, self-help, and other fields, and any material from the databanks, specifically roughly "encyclopedic" articles relating to any of the topics involved would be more than welcome. Specific titles for such topics which come to mind include Erhard Seminars Training or est, Werner Erhard, Landmark Education/Landmark Worldwide, Landmark Forum, the Human potential movement, and Large group awareness training. The key articles of immediate focus are Werner Erhard, Landmark Education, Werner Erhard and Associates and the other articles in that basic subject area. John Carter (talk) 15:54, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@John Carter: Please check your mail. - NQ (talk) 20:25, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Ideally, any content specifically of a reference overview type, encyclopedic or otherwise, which deals as closely with Landmark in its various iterations as possible, or which gives it substantial discussion in reference overviews dealing with related topics would be best, as it would help in determining relative balance and WEIGHT on the topic of Erhard's programs in the main article, which is probably the primary concern here. John Carter (talk) 20:49, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@John Carter: Aside from a handful of articles that Asyntax has already posted on the talk page of Landmark Worldwide, I could not find much that goes into detail about Landmark Education. There are plenty of articles on the subject of est which primarily covers pre-Landmark era, but I assume that is not what you’re after. I've emailed you an entry for Erhard Seminars Training from Contemporary American Religion, which mentions that "In 1984 est was transformed into The Forum, and in 1991 it became Landmark Education Corporation." Sorry I couldn’t be of more help. If you have a specific resource in mind, do let me know. - NQ (talk) 20:15, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@NQ: Thank you very much for your efforts. Maybe I should have said I had myself checked pretty much all the reference type sources I could find and didn't find much on these topics myself, but thought that I or Astynax might have missed some. John Carter (talk) 20:25, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Sitush: You are most likely looking for - Kuhi-i-Jud And The Janjuas From Raja Mal To Babur Khan, Hussain. JAC, 13 (1990) 1:73. - snippet of the title snippet from p79. Dr Khan's book "Chronicles of Early Janjuas" has a chapter with the same name. You can preview most of the pages here. The cited passages in Bais Rajputs and Janjua can be sourced to page 26 of the same book which states Raja Mal left five sons, two of them Raja Jodh and Raja Wir born of a Gakkhar Rani, remained in Kuh-i Jud, whereas the remaining three were Raja Tanawali,Raja Kala Khan and Raja Kahku, born of a Rajput princess.... Most of this is attributed to the book Punjab Chiefs by Lepel H. Griffin, Lahore Press, 1865 pp. 603-604 which has more detailed info on Raja Mal Khan and the Janjoahs. - NQ (talk) 14:28, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Since neither Lepel Griffin nor Khan's self-published iUniverse book would usually be considered reliable sources, I'll have to dig into how reliable JAC itself may be.

Article from Discover, October 1995

[edit]
Resolved

I'm looking for an article that appeared in Discover Magazine in October 1995. It was titled An inescapable buzz and was apparently by M Abrams and on page 20. I've just realised that I edited a reference to add detail, implying that I've reviewed it, but that I haven't actually seen the article myself. As the only other person who's reviewed it is the IP editor that added it years ago, that's not good, especially as it doesn't show in this (quite possibly not-exhaustive) table of contents for the Oct 1995 issue.

I've an EBSCOhost reference, if that helps.[10]

A claim from the 1999 Guinness Book of World Records

[edit]
Resolved

There was a claim that American singer Selena was named "most dominating artist" on the 1999 Guinness Book of World Records, however, I bought this version and couldn't find the claim in the book, she wasn't even mentioned. According to Amazon, there are two different versions of the book (the first released in May 1999 and one from September 1999). I have the May edition and was wondering if the September 1999 edition of the book has this claim? Also, if anyone can provide me a clearer text of what the book means by "most dominating artist"; was it overall? Latin field? Spanish-language only? etc. As of now, the text has been hidden with a message until I can verify that she was named this title. Thanks, jona(talk) 19:35, 27 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find this at all... one site said she was on the cover! I don't think this is true. I know they've had a Spanish edition (El Libro Guinness de Los Records) but I don't know if they had one in 2000. You might try contacting Guinness, since you paid for the book already! They could at least rule it out that they never had this category..... Good luck. Wikimandia (talk) 21:43, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Need help obtaining image of Elizabeth Bauer Kassler

[edit]
Resolved

As part of this year's Art+Feminism Edit-A-Thon, I created and am improving the article on Elizabeth Bauer Mock. I've only been able to find one photo of her available online, here. I'd like to use this in her article as Fair Use, considering it is the only photo of her out there available to the public (as far as I can tell). I don't have an account with mocavo.com, so the image is just too blurry and low quality to use in an article. I was hoping someone out there might have access to mocavo.com or have some other means of getting a higher quality Fair Use image of this photo for me. If this is the wrong place to make such a request, please let me know where would be best. Thanks!

Need Help Seeing a Specific 1860 U.S. Census Entry

[edit]

I just did some research on this man: http://records.ancestry.com/henry_mole_records.ashx?pid=121043325

--and it appears that he might have been the World's Oldest Man at the time of his death in 1962 (though he was probably 107, rather than 109, years old at the time of his death). That said, though, I need someone with a subscription to Ancestry.com and/or to another such website to please give me a copy of this actual 1860 U.S. Census entry itself:

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MCLL-BDJ

Basically, it states "Harris Mule" here but I am strongly tempted to think that this is a mis-transcription of "Henry Mole"; thus, can someone here please take a look at this actual 1860 U.S. Census entry itself, save it, and post a copy of it here so that I am personally able to see whether or not I am correct that the 1860 U.S. Census entry actually states "Henry Mole"?

Is there a citable resource available for species names and in whose honour they were named

[edit]
Resolved

I'm researching an article I'm intending to create on a notable woman scientist Wilmatte Porter Cockerell for the Smithsonian Archives Wikipedia Edit-a-thon on 27th of March. Her husband Theodore Dru Alison Cockerell named numerous species (about 30) in honour of her (under either the name porterae or wilmattae). See the first 5 species in this [23] and around the first 25 or so in this [24]

I've inferred these species are named after her because she normally discovered and collected the type specimen he was naming and Wilmatte is an unusual name. But I need to find a citable source for each of these namings that I can use for my article. I'm by no means an entomologist and am having difficulty understanding the scientific papers published by Cockerell that I can access, assuming I can even find the appropriate article on line (he was writing between 1899 - 1940's). Often the specific article isn't available and even if it is available Cockerell may not specifically state he's named the bug after her.

Does anyone know if there is a citable resource that sets out after whom a bug is named? Or am I on the correct track of just wading through all his writing to see if I can find the stray sentence stating he's naming a bug after his wife? Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer.Ambrosia10 (talk) 07:16, 21 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Each of the species description publications will most likely carry the etymology of the new species name, although anyone who knows a bit of naming convention would not doubt your inference here. Shyamal (talk) 02:18, 22 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I would have to concur. The species gets named when the author makes his or her first publication about it, often under the heading, "A new species of such-n-such", in an appropriate journal or book. The author at that time may or may not explain his/ her reasoning for the name— often, the name given is obvious (e.g., the naming of the bioluminescent fungus Mycena luxaeterna) but this is not always the case and as far as I know the naming author is under no obligation to offer any formal explanation, which leaves the reader to infer it. While it may seem like conducting original research to infer that a particular woman's name was used for the Latin name of an insect, I don't think you'll be stretching the rules much if the connection is as obvious as you claim. But formal explanations, those are really hit and miss. I am going to ping User:Animalparty here and encourage getting another opinion. KDS4444Talk 20:19, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It's true that the etymology is not always provided in taxonomic descriptions: some may be defined in successive works and/or unpublished letters, while others are never defined and left as eternal mysteries (see e.g. Sequoia (genus). For some popular taxa there are eponym dictionaries, i.e. The Eponym Dictionary of Amphibians or The Eponym Dictionary of Birds, and some specialty websites might have lists (e.g. Biographical Etymology of Marine Organism Names, Curious Scientific Names, or Curiosities of Biological Nomenclature--though these may not meet WP:RS), but I'm not aware of any specializing in insects (the most speciose group on earth!). Absent of such resources, the next best bet for comprehensive and reliable eponym lists for a person often comes in an obituary, festschrift, or similar biography written by colleagues (general audience biographies may often not deem it worthy to burden readers with hefty chunks of Latin); if not all eponymic species are listed, at least numbers might be thrown out to aid in searching. Tracking down the original descriptions may be the last resort (Biodiversity Heritage Library is great for that), but again, may not provide definite answers. While it might be reasonable to assume that every porterae named by T.D.A. Cockerell is named after his wife, stating such without explicit verification on Wikipedia is WP:OR or WP:SYN at best. In the worst case scenario, a vague yet verifiable statement like "Cockerell named several species after his wife; including [select verified examples]..." would be the most policy compliant statement. --Animalparty-- (talk) 21:54, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks so much for the detailed assistance above. It's very much appreciated. After much research it turns out that her husband wasn't the only one naming numerous insects after her. Several "Cockerellae" also appear to be named in her honor rather than her husband by the publishing entomologist, given that she collected the holotype specimens. However again I'm running up against the issue of no specific statement. Unfortunately despite her large contribution to entomology by way of discovering new species there doesn't appear to be a detailed obituary I can cite. Given this I'm going to attempt to follow the guidelines you've set. I'll edit her article and attempt to use the "vague yet verifiable" approach. Thanks again for all your help.

Requesting an article by Ilan Stavans

[edit]
Resolved

I was working on the Selena article today and wrote down the page title, author, and the source that I found the information I need to improve the article; but I can't locate an Ilan Stavans article he did on the singer called "Dreaming of You" in which he used the following statements needed;

  • queen of hybrid pop culture.
  • Hispanic Marilyn Monroe.
  • "But even if we had, her music is cursi--melodramatic, cheesy, overemotional, not too far from Juan Gabriel and a relative of Julio Iglesias"
  • Acted on Siempre en Domingo.
  • Selena is a pantheistic deity.
  • to build a plaza with her statue.

I have access to several newspapers across the US as being a college student, but when I search for his article I come up empty. Thanks, jona(talk) 17:38, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to be cited in this book, but I didn’t manage to see the footnote in the Google snippets. Maybe someone else is more lucky or, better yet, can get his hands on a physical copy of the book. Rgds ✦ hugarheimur 17:46, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Skr15081997. I've sent you the Globe and Mail articles. - NQ (talk) 12:24, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@NQ: Thanks for the news articles. I have a small list of other articles but don't know the title or page no., only date and newspaper are available. I can provide a few keywords that will assist in tracking down them.
  • Toronto Globe and Mail, 22 May 1952; will include "Toronto Symphony Orchestra".
  • Toronto Globe and Mail, 30 May 1952; will include "Toronto Musicians Association", details of a meeting held at Arts and Letter Club on 29 May and the quote "The refusal to renew contracts may indicate an infringement of Canadian artists' right to employment."
  • Toronto Daily Star, 15 August 1952; will include a quote from John Moscow "We had given up hope, now we know we have not been forgotten."
  • Toronto Daily Star, 26 August 1952; a lengthy editorial includes "Dr. Seeley fears that the TSO directors have, by their action, set the dangerous precedent in Canada of making employment contingent upon a person's ability to obtain a border crossing card from the U.S. Immigration Department ... Significantly, Dr. Seeley's statement last week was followed by an Ottawa dispatch reporting that the Canadian External Affairs department is deeply concerned about the large number of Canadians who have been refused permission to cross our 'invisible border' even for short visits ... It is strongly felt here that the regulations contained in the McCarran Act are so vicious that an opportunity should be found to make the Canadian viewpoint known."
  • Toronto Daily Star, 2 September 1952; "Federation of Canadian Artists" and the "Canadian Arts Council", resolved to support [Symphony Six].
This might look a strange request but I have included as much detail as possible. Thanks again.--Skr15081997 (talk) 15:58, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi EnigmaMcmxc, that's the ebook version, which likely has different pagination from the print. You can cite the ebook version using chapter name instead of page numbers. Nikkimaria (talk) 16:08, 22 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the advise. Would that be using the regular cite book template?EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 17:00, 22 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, using its chapter parameter. Nikkimaria (talk) 17:04, 22 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@EnigmaMcmxc: btw I use a lot of ebooks as references; and instead of chapters, I just mark it "edition=ePub" so I can still cite page numbers. It depends on what you're doing, but in some fields (esp genealogy, nobility lines, etc) some editors tag the reference with "page number needed," so that way I'm covered. —МандичкаYO 😜 00:41, 23 March 2015 (UTC
