Need help finding sources talking about a Malaysian expressway

[edit]

I'm currently working on North–South Expressway Northern Route, but online secondary sources have been a pain to find. A web search turned up nothing reliable, while a Google Books and Google Scholar search resulted in only one minor publication by the World Bank, which I could only use for one sentence. Searches of local news websites resulted in only accidents and incidents that occurred, which aren't notable. I'm pretty much hanging on the hope that there is a paper source (or some online work that I haven't been able to find) going into detail about the expressway, especially its history. If there is, it would also help a lot with the general North–South Expressway (Malaysia) article as well as North–South Expressway Southern Route, if I do get to it eventually. – Pizza1016 (talk | contribs) 06:36, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Source to create an article on Black Creek (Susquehanna River)

[edit]

I discovered this (a 1968 USGS open-file report by Thomas Gwyn Newport, Harry E. Koester, Marion Joseph Bergin; the title is "Geology, hydrology, and geochemistry of the Black Creek watershed near Mocanaqua, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania"), which seems like a very useful source for an article on Black Creek. The trouble is that the USGS doesn't have it online, Worldcat says that there are no libraries that have the report, and on amazon.com, it says that "We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock." Can anyone here get ahold of it? --Jakob (talk) 02:56, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jakob, the only available copy is at the U.S. Geological Survey Library in Reston, Virginia. (Call No. (200) N473g) It's open to the general public. - NQ (talk) 08:25, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Finding a quote of Gamal Abdel Nasser, the Egyptian president on 1967, in Heykal's book

[edit]

Will it be possible to find a quote of Gamal Abdel Nasser, the Egyptian president on 1967, in Heykal's book: Sphinx and commissar: the rise and fall of Soviet influence in the Arab world ?

- The quote is found in the hebrew version of Gluska's The Israeli Military and the Origins of the 1967 War, p. 235. My translation is: "Nasser canceled at the last minute a planned Egyptian attack, and later accused the soviets: "you stopped us and have not allowed us to be the first to attack. You have not let us having the initiative. That was a collusion."

- Gluska cites Heykal's book: Sphinx and commissar: the rise and fall of Soviet influence in the Arab world, the Hebrew version, p. 181, 182.

-Wikipedia articles being improved: Six-Day War. Thanks. Ykantor (talk) 17:58, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Need Someone With an Ancestry.com Subscription to Provide Me With a Specific 1954 Death Certificate

[edit]

 Not done

Basically, I am trying to verify the case of a woman who died in 1954 and who claimed to be 112 years old at the time of her death for the Gerontology Research Group. Based on my research, this woman might have indeed been 112 years old (or extremely close to it) at the time of her death. That said, though, I am unsure about what exactly the names of this woman's parents were; thus, I am hoping to access this woman's death certificate in order to see if it states the names of this woman's parents; the names of this woman's parents can go a very long way in verifying this woman's claimed age.

I think that Ancestry.com has this woman's death certificate:

http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=cookcountydeaths&so=2&pcat=BMD_DEATH&rank=1&new=1&MSAV=1&msT=1&gss=angs-c&gsfn=nancy&gsln=merriman&cpxt=0&catBucket=rstp&uidh=000&cp=0&cj=1&sid=i66xemvno40004ma007uo&netid=cj&o_xid=0003753210&o_lid=0003753210&o_sch=Affiliate+External

I think that this specific death certificate is indeed for this woman:

View Record Nancy Merrimen dd mm 1954 location Purchase original record from Cook County

However, I myself do not have an Ancestry.com subscription; thus, I am wondering if someone here who does have an Ancestry.com subscription can get access to this woman's death certificate and, if this is legal, to give me a copy of this woman's death certificate. Again, I want this death certificate for gerontology research purposes, which, in my honest opinion, is certainly a very good cause. Futurist110 (talk) 21:15, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi Futurist110, the record you're looking for is merely indexed on Ancestry.com. The original death certificate is available for purchase from the Cook County Clerk’s Office for 17 USD.
Name: Nancy Merrimen | Death Date: 14 Jan 1954 | Death Location: Cook County, IL | File Number: 6001585 | Archive collection name: Cook County Genealogy Records (Deaths). [Index-only Record] - NQ (talk) 00:05, 16 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
So in other words, there is no way at all to get this woman's death certificate for free, correct? Futurist110 (talk) 04:49, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Futurist110: Correct. - NQ (talk) 13:26, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
They charge an extra fee so it's $18.75 ... lame! It's too bad the Social Security death index doesn't start until 1962.... Wikimandia (talk) 21:33, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The U.S. Social Security Death Index might not help here considering that I know when exactly this woman died; rather, I simply want to know what exactly this woman's parents' names are due to the fact that this information might very well be crucial in verifying this woman's claimed age. Based on the research which I (and possibly one or more other people) have done on this case, this woman might have very well indeed been 112 years old at the time of her death, but I need to know the names of this woman's parents so that I can confirm that the 1850 and 1860 U.S. Census entries which I and/or other people have found are indeed for the Nancy Merriman/Merrimen who died in 1954.

History of the 120th Infantry Regiment

Hi, I would need:

  • N. N.: History of the 120th Infantry Regiment. Infantry Journal Press, Washington DC 1947, pp. 228 to approx. 233 (could well be one ot two more)

It seems as though there is a chapter or section bearing the caption “Brunswick (Braunschweig)“. I would need the whole chapter (plus perhaps the page before it starts as well as the one after the section’s end.

American Cyanamid

[edit]

Dear Wikipedians,

I'm looking for books about American Cyanamid, e.g. yearbooks or something like 50 Years of American Cyanamid. I've searched at Amazon, but haven't found, what I'm looking for. Because I'm not based in the US, it's difficult for me to find literature. --Kopiersperre (talk) 22:16, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Kopiersperre: American Cyanamid's reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission are publicly available, starting in 1994. Since American Cyanamid stopped being a reporting company in 1995, this is a fairly short window, but you can still find some useful reports at the SEC's EDGAR webpage for American Cyanamid. John M Baker (talk) 22:19, 15 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I would like to have a book with photos and so one. Don't you have more pleasing (not Form 10-K) annual reports in the US?--Kopiersperre (talk) 20:01, 13 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Kopiersperre: In the U.S., the annual report to stockholders is a separate document from the formal annual report to the SEC on Form 10-K, although the stockholders' annual report may be included as an exhibit to the 10-K. The annual report to stockholders typically, but not always, is aesthetically more pleasing (although I tend to prefer the 10-K, which often has more solid information). These days EDGAR can accommodate annual reports with fancy graphs and colored pictures, and companies generally put them on their own web pages. In 1994, however, EDGAR was entirely text-based. I haven't checked, but I assume that either American Cyanamid did not have a web site or that site is long-gone. John M Baker (talk) 22:22, 13 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Polish Brewing articles

[edit]

Looking for articles from three different Polish journals for the Grodziskie article.

The first journal is Przemysł fermentacyjny i owocowo-warzywny and the link takes you to the worldcat entry for it. It appears to be available from a few scattered sources worldwide, including the British Library. I am looking for the following articles:

  • Szmelich, W. (1994). O historii i sposobie wytwarzania unikalnego piwa grodziskiego. Przemysł Fermentacyjny i Owocowo-Warzywny, 38(01), 7-10.
  • Marczak, J., Jarzabek, Z., & Marczewski, B. (2010). Piwo z pszenicy. Przemysł Fermentacyjny i Owocowo-Warzywny, 54(01).
  • Jarzabek, Z., Marczak, J., & Marczewski, B. (2010). Skąd się w piwie wzięły drożdże?. Przemysł Fermentacyjny i Owocowo-Warzywny, 54(04).

The next article is from the same journal with a different name. Przemysł fermentacyjny. Older. It is also available at the British Library.

  • Szmelich W., l963: Problem drożdży dla produkcji piwa grodziskiego. Przem. Ferment: Nr. 11, 262.

Final journal is Acta Microbiologica Polonica, which Worldcat only locates from some resources in France. The link takes you to the journal page. The article I am looking for is

  • Szmelich, W. (1964). YEAST SELECTION FOR THE PRODUCTION OF GRODZISK BEER. Acta microbiologica Polonica, 13, 255.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Neil916 (Talk) 00:56, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Brigadier James Henry Gordon CB CBE late The Royal Green Jackets, 504457. He received queen's birthday honours in 1991 and 2013 and the U.S. Legion of Merit. He has such a common name that I'm having trouble finding any info to start, even hometown.

If anyone could be of help, I would appreciate it! Thanks! —МандичкаYO 😜 00:57, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Wikimandia: Hi. You do not have your email enabled. Email me via Special:EmailUser/NQ for 'Who's Who' entries of both people. - NQ (talk) 13:04, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Sitush: Can you check FindMyPast? - NQ (talk) 01:41, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
They're far too modern for FMP. Few genealogy websites can cover living people with any depth or degree of certainty. For Gordon, the London Gazette will have some small amounts of info, and I would imagine that if the major newspapers (Times, Guardian etc) do not then local newspapers certainly would. There is this at gov.uk, which will also be in the Gazette somewhere. In fact, he is all over the web in relation to his various honours, but with scant further detail. Perhaps this is a window? - Sitush (talk) 01:51, 1 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Wikimandia: - Aside from what Sitush found, there isn't much on them that I was able to locate. Who's who has significant information and it also contains direct contact details for Michael Patrick Day, perhaps that's worth a shot. - NQ (talk) 00:33, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Strange request for the Times

[edit]

Hi all, I'm looking for four articles in the Times that were published on 31 January 1911. I'm literally staring at a microfilmed edition of that day, but the "South American supplement"—listed in the issue's table of contents (p. 11 of the regular edition) and the Annual Index to the Times—is not included. Please help? I'm looking for:

  1. "Naval Strength of South America," 31 Jan 1911, p. 1 (these page numbers are referring to the supplement's pagination... the regular page one has marriages etc.)
  2. "The Argentine in the 20th Century," 31 Jan 1911, p. 4
  3. "South America and Sea Power," 31 Jan 1911, p. 7
  4. "British Goods in Argentina," 31 Jan 1911, p. 9.

I'd like to use these in my South American dreadnought articles to bolster some scanty references in sources. Thanks and a cookie to whomever can help me out. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 18:12, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The author of "Naval Strength of South America" is Commander E. Hamilton Currey. I found this passage from him in the book 'The Brazilians and their country'. Not sure if it's of any relevance. For "The Argentine in the 20th Century," there is a book by the same name published later in 1915. - NQ (talk) 23:17, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

(Outdent) Advanced searches on The British Library reveal their hard copy's classed "restricted" due to being "fragile", and it's not on microfiche. Restricted means normally it can't be accessed and access won't be permissible where other copies exist. SUNCAT shows copies exist at: Cambridge Univ., "London Library" (a mere £15 day access/£485 p.a), and LSE. –146.199.151.33 (talk) 13:03, 31 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The Supplement shows under several Worldcat entries with variant cataloguing details: OCLC 173730025,OCLC 751715866,OCLC 472723023,OCLC 8105160. Eventually, these should all resolve to the latter, but in the mean time it is necessary to try them all. It looks as if Yale holds it if there's someone there.

Reference work material on Emperor Jimmu

[edit]

Basically looking for any "reference" type works, be they encyclopedic or history or similar works broadly considered "reference works," discussing at length, either as the main topic of the piece or as a multi-page section in a broader work, the mythic Emperor Jimmu of Japan, for use in developing that article and related articles. -John Carter (talk) 19:17, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@John Carter: I have a copy of Brownlee, John S, Japanese Historians and the National Myths, 1600-1945: The Age of the Gods and Emperor Jinmu if you need any extracts not in the Google Books entry. Jbh (talk) 20:25, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Um, what exactly do you mean by "have a copy" here? :) The book appears to have been rather well received, which is definitely a plus, and I would definitely welcome any input from that source in the article when we get to that point. But if it is a physical copy, which you seem to imply, it might be harder to distribute around to all the others who might be involved. I may well ping you when I get to the point of opening discussion on the article talk page when I get to that point. John Carter (talk) 20:39, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It is a PDF so pages can be extracted as needed. Jbh (talk) 20:43, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That sounds very useful. My first "goal" is to more or less see what other encyclopedias and similar short reference articles might say, as an indicator of what sort of things need to be covered in the Jimmu article, early indicators of relative weight in that article, and that sort of thing, basically getting material together to develop an "outline" of sorts for the article. But I have a feeling that source you have would be a much more useful and acceptable citation source than the reference overview articles might be. But that might come second to seeing what is discussed in the other recent extant encyclopedia type sources, and the relative weight they give the material they do include. John Carter (talk) 20:52, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
OK. Ping me or email me if you need anything from the book. I also have access to JSTOR and saw several references to Emperor Jimmu but most seemed tangential on first inspection. If you find anything there you need help getting let me know. I did a quick look for other references, there was only a footnote mentioning him in my Cambridge History of Japan which surprised me. Jbh (talk) 21:22, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@John Carter: Send me an email and I'll reply with PDFs of Brownlee, Why Prewar Japanese Historians Did Not Tell the Truth, and Ōbayashi Taryō, Japanese Myths of Descent from Heaven and Their Korean Parallels. Note to others who might do searches: The spelling Jinmu is more common in the literature. John M Baker (talk) 17:35, 14 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Geology, Hydrology, and Geochemistry of the Black Creek Watershed Near Mocanaqua, PA.

[edit]

Hello! The book that I needed access to: Newport, Thomas G. (1971). Geology, Hydrology, and Geochemistry of the Black Creek Watershed Near Mocanaqua, PA. Black Creek (Susquehanna River) is in the process of a GA review, and the book constitutes for a significant number of its citations. If at all possible someone can e-mail the book to me at gtownhoyasdc@gmail.com. Thanks! LeftAire (talk) 17:40, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

According to this the electronic form is not available, the proper title is Geology, hydrology, and geochemistry of the Black Creek watershed near Mocanaqua, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania and it was published in 1968. This also shows as OCLC 50317392. The FAQ at the USGS says under "How do I obtain a copy of a specific publication?/ How do I obtain a publication that is not available online?"
"USGS Publication: Links to the USGS store will be added shortly for publications that have paper versions in stock. You can also contact the USGS Store to order the publication. The USGS Store is available at http://store.usgs.gov and they can be contacted via email: usgsstore@usgs.gov ; telephone: 1-888-ASK-USGS; and mail: USGS Information Services, Box 25286, Federal Center, Denver, CO 80225-0046. If it is not available, try searching the title online to find a copy for sale or contact your local librarian to see if they can help you borrow a copy."
I'd suggest the email or phone query is your best bet. Their store's search engine doesn't seem to find it. LeadSongDog come howl! 21:08, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Looking for French Obituary from 1968 or 1969 for Astronomer Rose Bonnet

[edit]

I am working on an article on an early 20th century french astronomer named Rose Bonnet. Most of the information I've found on her life has been from academic articles (with a few exceptions). I would like to locate an obituary for her to fill in some missing details in her life.

She was born in 1894 and died in 1968 or 1969, most likely at her home in Paris (83—Street number, Rue de la Liberation—Street, Clamart—Commune, Antony—Arrondissement, Hauts-de-Seine—Department, Sud de Seine—Intercommunality, Île-de-France—Region). She spent her career (from 1919 to 1959) at the Paris Observatory. She was a member of the International Astronomy Union and Société Astronomique de France. She married Louis Sainturier in 1932 or 1933, and used "Bonnet-Sainturier" or "Bonnet" thereafter (except for a brief period during the Nazi occupation of France).

I have searched and searched on Google, Google Scholar, Google Books, Bing, Google.fr, and even ventured into the frightening domain of a Brick and Mortar University Library! But to no avail. I suspect the information exists, but is buried in some French newspaper archives that my Google Translate lack of fluency with the language has hidden from me.

I appreciate any help anyone can give--Carl Henderson (talk) 04:23, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Seeking two articles on Ralph Vary Chamberlin

[edit]

I'm trying to bring Ralph Vary Chamberlin up to GA or FA, and am seeking some offline sources:

  1. Jones, David T. (1944). "List of publications of Dr. Ralph V. Chamberlin to June 1st, 1944". Vintonia. 4: 1–22. OCLC 4171096.
  2. Uschi Eckstein; Robert Samm (2001). "Beruehmte Arachnologen: Ralph Vary Chamberlin, 1879-1967. [Famous arachnologists: Ralph Vary Chamberlin, 1879-1967.]". Arachnologisches Magazin (in German). 9 (5): 11–12. ISSN 0944-8667.

If the Arachnologisches Magazin article could possibly be scanned in OCR, that would greatly facilitate machine translation, as I don't speak German. Thanks! --Animalparty-- (talk) 20:39, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Theft of a church bell in 1969

[edit]

According to one source, a bell made in 1635 by Joseph Hatch was stolen from the church of St Mary the Virgin at Hillborough, in Reculver parish, in 1970, having been brought there from the demolished church of St Mary's at Reculver itself in about 1809. But I've recently been informed by email that the bell was stolen in August 1969, and that it was reported in at least one newspaper. My informant said that they had a contemporary press cutting somewhere, but they haven't responded to requests for further information. A search of the British Newspaper Archive turns up nothing like it in the vicinity of Reculver, so I wonder if anyone here might be able to help. I'm afraid that's all the information I have. Thanks for reading. Nortonius (talk) 14:32, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'll check my copy of Homan, Roger (1984), The Victorian Churches of Kent when I get home, just in case. The church should at least be mentioned in there. Its Bibliography might turn up something as well. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 16:20, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
No joy, unfortunately ... a brief mention with architectural details, but nothing about the bell. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 17:35, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Ok thanks for looking! I'll keep my fingers crossed for a news source. Cheers. Nortonius (talk) 17:43, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Note that this probably non-RS page suggests that the theft was in April 1969, not August. John M Baker (talk) 19:57, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Ah yes, thank you, I've probably seen that and forgotten it – I decided a while back not to use that site as a source, as it looked non-RS. So, some time in 1969! Cheers. Nortonius (talk) 21:07, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Are there any newspaper specialists out there who might look into this, if they haven't already? Even news of negative searches would be very gratefully received! Cheers. Nortonius (talk) 10:51, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I've been searching for it continuously, haven't been able to find a related event in that time frame in any of the online newspaper archives so far - will resume the search in a couple of days when I get back to my workstation. It's ought to be out there somewhere. Regards - NQ-Alt (talk) 12:25, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Much appreciated NQ-Alt, how very mysterious. It seems definitely to have happened, and stealing a dirty great bell from a church without the neighbours noticing (the building isn't especially isolated) must've been quite a feat! You'd think it would've been newsworthy. Very grateful for your efforts, I'll keep my fingers crossed! Nortonius (talk) 12:37, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Recent work by David C. Mitchell on the Psalms

[edit]
  1. David C. Mitchell "Resinging the Temple Psalmody", JSOT 36 (2012) pp. 355–378
  2. David C. Mitchell "How Can We Sing the Lord's Song?" in S. Gillingham (ed.), "Jewish and Christian Approaches to the Psalms" (OUP, 2013) pp. 119–133
  3. David C. Mitchell "The Songs of Ascents: Psalms 120 to 134 in the Worship of Jerusalem's temples" (Campbell: Newton Mearns 2015)

Could you help in particular with the following question:

Two recent contributions to WP ([12], [13]) claim that David C. Mitchell (more specifically in the sources listed above) supports Haïk-Vantoura's proposed "decipherment" of the tropes of the Hebrew Bible. What precisely did David C. Mitchell have to say regarding Haïk-Vantoura's proposed reconstruction?

@NQ: Hi Nathan. This is just to keep you updated on my attempts to get to the third reference. I did contact the author, David C. Mitchell. I asked him if there was new material in his book specifically in connection with my question. He answered: "My new book does contain further discussion on the antiquity of the Masoretic te'amim, and more evidence supporting SHV's hypothesis. There is also some repetition of stuff already published." But when I asked him (in order to get a page range) where in his book that discussion takes place he did not answer. From looking at the table of contents
table of contents
Chapter 1. Books Within Books. The Songs of Ascents: an independent book within the Book of Psalms.
Chapter 2. Words Within Words. Numerological codes point to the reign of a particular Israelite king.
Chapter 3. Steps Within Steps. The 'Ascents' heading links the songs with the fifteen temple steps and the Feast of Sukkot.
Chapter 4. Who Lies Behind Them? The king behind them steps forth.
Chapter 5. The Lodgings of the Holy Ark. The Songs sing of the ark of the covenant and its dwelling-place.
Chapter 6. For What Event Were They Composed?
Chapter 7. Who Wrote Them? Linguistic elements point to the probable authors.
Chapter 8. The Temple Orchestra: Origins and Instruments.
Chapter 9. The Temple Orchestra: The Levite Singers.
Chapter 10. Moonlight on Moriah. The liturgy of the fifteen Songs in temple times.
Chapter 11. Temple Song, Where Are You Now? Where did the temple song go? What remains?
Chapter 12. Restoring the Temple Song. Temple psalmody restorable from Masoretic cantillation, and church and synagogue chant.
Chapter 13. The Songs of Zion. The temple melody of each Song, with commentary.
Chapter 14. In the Latter Days. The meaning of the Songs of Ascents in the Psalms' narrative.
Chapter 15. I will proclaim Your Name to My Brethren. The song of the morning stars and music in worship.
Appendix I. Singing the Sacred Name.
Appendix II. Solomon’s temple.
Appendix III. The Hebrew calendar.
Appendix IV. Revia mugrash and oleh ve-yored.
27 figures; 14 tables; 29 musical examples. Glossary, bibliography, and index.
it would have to be Chapter 12 but that's just a guess. Thanks again for your help with the two articles. Cheers, Contact Basemetal here 17:33, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dr Lol, thanks for the effort on sending me the copy of pages of the article from Bungeishunju, although seems to I made a mistake with the pages, due to the article might begin in a few previous pages, I do not know exactly, but you can think the same if look at page 86: it has not a title. Can you please see if I am right and begins before? If yes, would it be possible to obtain them? Thanks. --Zerabat (talk) 04:04, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Zerabat: I send the previous pages and Kasamatsu to you. --Dr Lol (talk) 14:09, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Received. Thanks. --Zerabat (talk) 13:01, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Photos of Fan Noli from book

[edit]

Founding a Balkan State: Albania's Experiment with Democracy, 1920-1925 (google books, worldcat). Looking for the photo on page 85 of Fan Noli, which may or may not be the same photo as File:FAN NOLI.jpg. If it is the same, could you add that source to the Commons image page, so the photo isn't deleted? If it's not the same, could you scan and upload it? (It would be PD-US given that he was living in the US at that time.) The photo on page 86 would also be good if you are able to scan/upload (1922 from Boston, PD-US). There may be other photos that are pre-1923 that are not PD in the country of origin (Albania) and could be uploaded to en.wikipedia but not Commons.

Requesting an 1885 document from Find My Past

[edit]

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone here with a subscription to Find My Past could help out with genealogical research that I'm working on. I'm trying to access the scanned image of a document belonging to Arthur Nash (Kings Norton, Worcestershire County, 6th link from the bottom on this page). Thanks in advance. --OscarL 15:42, 1 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Australian law report

[edit]

Hi I'm looking for page 559 of the law report Lange v Australian Broadcasting Corporation (1997) 189 CLR 520. This was cited in an English Article 10 judgment that I would like to refer to in the Article 10 article, but without knowing what appears on p559 of Lange it's not too easy... Thanks --Amisom (talk) 19:45, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Amisom, note that the opinion in Lange v Australian Broadcasting Corporation is linked from our article, although the linked version is not paginated. John M Baker (talk) 22:45, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Amison: The version from the High Court website also doesn't give page numbers: http://eresources.hcourt.gov.au/showbyHandle/1/233131 This seems to deal mainly with defamation and ensuring the possibility of political communication. The pagination would, I presume, be from the Commonwealth Law Reports (CLR) version.Jodi.a.schneider (talk) 04:05, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sources for The Life and Death of 9413: a Hollywood Extra

[edit]

I'm working on The Life and Death of 9413: a Hollywood Extra (MrLinkinPark333 (talk · contribs) has already helped me get one source as requested above). While I think it will be close to GA-worthy status soon, there are a few sources I'd like to get my hands on so I can eventually bring it up to FA. Most of these sources I've seen used as references in other sources that I was able to access. But the ones below I have not been able to get, so I'm hoping to see if anyone can help me get some or all of them.

  • Anabel Lane, "Short Dramas Should Be Encouraged," Film Mercury, July 27, 1928. (from thesis)
  • Kevles, Barbara L., "Slavko Vorkapich on Film as Visual Language and as a Form of Art," Film Culture 38 (Fall 1965), p. 20
  • Lewis Jacobs, "Experimental Cinema in America" in The Rise of the American Film (New York: Teachers College Press, 1965), p. 547. Cf., David Curtis, Experimental Cinema (New York: Universe Books, 1977), p. 39.
  • Kay Small, "He Made a Movie for $97!" Hollywood Magazine, March 23, 1928, 17, 12, p. 7 and 29
  • A. L. Woolridge, "$97 Movie Made in Hollywood Kitchen," Modern Mechanics (n.d.), p. 152; 1928 (I think this is the correct year)
  • Article from Hollywood Magazine, June 8, 1928. (Unsure of title or pages)
  • A Hollywood Extra, Variety, 20 June 1928, review of The Life and Death of 9413

Thanks! — Hunter Kahn 22:18, 13 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Hunter Kahn: I'll be sending over Modern Mechanics over soon. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 15:54, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Linkin Park album reviews

[edit]

Hello. I am currently looking for reviews of Linkin Park's albums Hybrid Theory and Meteora:

  1. NME January 13, 2001 p. 35. Might be the same as this archived review on their website. I would like to compare them and see if they are the same or not.
  2. Q Magazine January 2001 p. 111. There might be a typo in the article of the lead singer's name. It's Chester Bennington, not Chester Bellington.
  3. Q Magazine May 2003 p. 104. This one is a review of Meteora.

Thanks again! --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 23:25, 15 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A Surprising Civil War Dedication

[edit]

I can't seem to find this article on EBSCO. I login in with my libraries user id and password but upon searching for it, it shows up as not existing. Can anybody help find this article for me? Thanks.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 21:12, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Anybody?--KAVEBEAR (talk) 06:56, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@KAVEBEAR, I'd start by asking the mag, actually: http://www.americandigger.com/contact.htm. It's a small magazine—I imagine they'd be amenable to a single article request for the good of Wikipedia. czar 13:38, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I've asked my library and they have no clue how to find a copy either. --KAVEBEAR (talk) 20:15, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@KAVEBEAR, have you tried contacting the publisher directly? czar 18:31, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@KAVEBEAR: For $4 you can buy a single PDF of the magazine: http://store.payloadz.com/details/1003350-ebooks-outdoors-and-nature-vol-8-issue-1.html via http://www.americandigger.com/MagazineSingleIssue.htm . Alternately you could look for a library that subscribes; I see one library listed on Worldcat but there may be others.
In case it helps -- you can find an image of the plague here. The cemetery itself first opened in 1949.
And some other leads on the more general topic of Hawaii and the Civil War:
The Civil War and Hawaii By JEFFREY ALLEN SMITH AUGUST 13, 2013 NY Times Opinionator. Jeffrey Allen Smith is Assistant Professor at University of Hawaii, Hilo. He received a 2010 grant from the Hawaii Council for the Humanities for archival research on this topic
“Asians and Pacific Islanders and the Civil War” is a 2015 Official US Park Service book, edited by Carol A. Shively and published by Eastern National
Hawaii's involvement in the Civil War By BETH-ANN KOZLOVICH, Hawaii public radio
The Effects of the American Civil War on Hawai’i and the Pacific World by Justin W. Vance and Anita Manning, World History Connected, 9.3
There are also local news articles on related topics, such as a 2014 tombstone for Civil War veteran private J. R. Kealoha (who "would have served under a nom de guerre" that was easier to pronounce. Jodi.a.schneider (talk) 17:40, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'm already aware of all those sources and have used them for his article. --KAVEBEAR (talk) 02:11, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Kavebear: sorry to not be of help then. Maybe you could start a Draft:Hawaii and the Civil War page sometime when you've time to spare? Jodi.a.schneider (talk) 04:07, 29 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Mirror Neurons May Help Songbirds Stay in Tune

Greg Miller

In work published this week, researchers describe mirror neurons in songbirds that fire when a bird sings or hears another bird sing a song similar to its own, a finding that may pave the way to insights into how songbirds learn and maintain their complex songs.

Paradise of the Pacific

[edit]

{{Stale}}

I am trying to find information about the publisher, the publishing location, the volume number and issue number for the April 1956 issue of Paradise of the Pacific.

@KAVEBEAR: It should be Vol 68, No. 4. And if i've located the right one in Worldcat, it was published by E.A. Langton-Boyle in Honolulu. The magazine was renamed to Honolulu magazine in 1966. I'll keep looking. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 22:01, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@KAVEBEAR: A search of the University of Honolulu's catalog confirms it. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 22:16, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I am still not sure about the publisher since that magazine seem to switch publishers a few times during its existence. Why does the worldcat link says 1935?--KAVEBEAR (talk) 22:21, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That was one of the issues I found on worldcat of the magazine. I didn't find that specific issue though besides ebay and other auction sites.I did find Vol 68, No. 5 at Hawaii State archive catalog, and it says Press Publishing Co., Honolulu. But I'm not sure if that's it. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 22:25, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
