    I've got the article and sent wikimail to Funkmonk. Also, it turns out that the Magyar Természettudományi Múzeum Központi Könyvtára will scan you an article you request in email, they don't have a procedure to register as a reader, and I was never even there in person to make the request. I'm mentioning that in case you or someone else need a paper they have, you can request them directly.

Help with checking Norwegian book reference

[edit]

{{resolved}}

Hi, I'm trying to check a Norwegian book related to the Wikipedia entry about JWs and child sex abuse. The book referenced is:

Ringnes, Hege Kristin (2009). "Individet i gruppen: en psykologisk tilnærming til det å være et Jehovas vitne". In Ringnes, Hege Kristin; Sødal, Helje Kringlebotn. Jehovas vitner — en flerfaglig studie (in Norwegian). Oslo: Universitetsforlaget. p. 101. ISBN 978-82-15-01453-1.


Jehovah's Witnesses' handling of child sex abuse

See footnote 2 and sentence preceding. "An independent 2009 study in Norway concluded that the rate of sexual abuse among Jehovah's Witnesses was similar to that in general society."

I can't speak Norwegian, and want to find out more information about this study - how was it conducted? How many people were sampled? Was it confined to Norway? Is the reference even legitimate?

--TruthSeekerJC (talk) 03:02, 25 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

TruthSeekerJC has already been informed at the teahouse (Wikipedia:Teahouse#Help editing - identifying unreliable sources) that the source in question—peer reviewed research published by a reputable academic publisher—is indeed legitimate. However, if other editors have more specific information about what the source says with respect to TruthSeekerJC's other questions, that would not be unwelcome.--Jeffro77 (talk) 12:01, 25 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
TruthSeekerJC, the people here who are able to provide you with the article will overwhelmingly not be able to answer your questions about the content simply because they do not speak Norwegian. Would you be interested in a copy of the article? — Pajz (talk) 23:32, 3 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Pajz: If I could have a digital photocopy / scan of the page in question - page 101 - that would help. From there I should be able to track down someone that knows Norwegian that can translate it. It's not just a question of the book source being reliable - it's a question of what the book actually says and if it actually says what has been claimed.

British Newspaper Archive - Alfred Heaver

[edit]

I'm wondering if anyone has a subscription to the British Newspaper Archive and would be willing to assist.

I'm writing the article Alfred Heaver; he was a property developer murdered in a most disturbing fashion by a mad relative at the start of August 1901. I'm looking for articles 1) descriptive of the inquest 2) that throw any light on Heaver as a person, such as an obituary and 3) that discuss the assassin Young's supposed motivation. (And not interested in articles on his will, of which there are many.)

I guess the brief for this request would be to access the text of some of the longer articles indicated by the link, above ... it's a rather more open-ended request than most on this board. Feel free to remove the request if this is an inappropriate request. thanks --Tagishsimon (talk) 23:39, 21 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Tagishsimon, I have the London Times article on the inquest. It's only one paragraph long, but seemingly helpful. Send me an email and I'll reply with the PDF.

Warren P. Mason

[edit]

{{resolved}} I'm intending to write an article on the currently redlinked electrical/acoustic engineer Warren P. Mason. The following would be helpful;

The 117th Meeting of the Acoustical Society of America held a special memorial session of presentations about, or concerning Mason. One was the basis for the paper in IEEE Transactions above. I can see abstracts in the The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (vol. 85, iss. S1, May 1989) but the full papers are not there. If anyone can find where these have been published (if they've been published at all), the most useful looking ones are;

  1. "Warren P. Mason (1900–1986), physicist, engineer, inventor, author, teacher"
  2. "Warren P. Mason: Some brief encounters, some long memories"
  3. "An equivalent circuit appreciation of Warren P. Mason"

(Edit conflict:) Tom, I'm not really following. This appears to be the transcript of a trial court hearing (or whatever is the equivalent in Australia), not an "abstract" to a "paper". What makes you think otherwise? — Pajz (talk) 14:43, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
And is thus a primary source, so due regard to WP:PTS, etc, —SerialNumber54129 paranoia /cheap shit room 15:49, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@all: the text available in the net begins with Page 50 ... obvious that there is missing content. Concerning primary source WP:OR + WP:PTS: I did not introduce this source for the article. If it is general consensus not to refer to this, within the article about 70% have to be deleted. Pls. use article disk. --Tom (talk) 17:36, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think there is relevant content not in the linked article. More likely the preceding pages are the transcript of the defendant being re-arraigned on long indictment so not particularly relevant unless you want the details of the counts in the indictment. Nthep (talk) 18:09, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Well I came over missing points because of the timeline. Wendy Scurr is reported to be the first person to alarm the police about the incident. This is not mentioned in the Court-Protocol. Multiple Sources for this can be found in the net. The first alarm to the police should be a point in a shortened time line in the article which is missing until now. --Tom (talk) 18:31, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Tom, I don't know about administrative practices in Australia, but there are other countries where the original transcript is a transcript of the session. In order words, it may well be that the hearing for a given case starts on page 50 of the transcript simply because the court dealt with other matters before that. It also seems somewhat implausible here that someone would have cut off content relevant to this case, given that the document starts with the names of counsel appearing, which I have never seen to be located anywhere other than at the very beginning of a case transcript. That being said, transcripts are not normally published, so the possibilities for people here are very limited anyhow. Basically, the only way I could think of to resolve this is if a version of the transcript is available freely on the internet already or perhaps through some specialiced legal database. (It is not available through the academic edition of Westlaw Int'l materials. I checked that.) In the end, if you want to learn more about this, you may need to get in touch with the court directly (see also http://www.supremecourt.tas.gov.au/decisions/sentences: "For information about sentences prior to 2005 email the Supreme Court Library or telephone the Library on 6165 7446"). — Pajz (talk) 18:32, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Well I looked up information about the praxis in Australia. See HIGH COURT OF AUSTRALIA: "FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 1982 - SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL" P.48, (Hobart files 6 Matters for 1996/1997 see P. 51). It is no help for the project if it is only me to have access to this paper as I wrote introduction. BTW this case is a matter of "An Issue of International Concern" and not just a "no-name-case". All colleagues must have the chance to verify the source. Exactly this is why I ask for support from here. In the end it is the central point for authors to ask for project-support. Right? --Tom (talk) 18:46, 13 April 2018 (UTC) P.S. please read Talk:Port_Arthur_massacre_(Australia)#Problems_with_used_sources_of_the_article[reply]
This is not what I meant. Anyway, as to this request: First, you want something that you likely already have. You seem to have some hunch that there might be pages missing, but as I said this is not at all obvious (since the original transcript might cover the entire session, not just one particular case). In fact, your hypothesis makes no sense to me, to be frank, because the public version of the transcript starts with a statement of "Appearances" and what is obviously an introduction to the case by the prosecution. It ends with the line "THE COURT ADJOURNED". Where could anything be "missing" here? In my view, it would defy all logic if there were material information on the case on, say, page 30. Why then would there be leading remarks on page 50? Why would the appearances be restated on page 50? I have never seen a court document where the appearances are stated somewhere in the middle of the transcript. Second, a "Full version" of the transcript would have at least 370 pages. Who is supposed to scan/copy that many pages? Third, you are requesting documents people ordinarily have to obtain from courts. Yes, occasionally, transcripts are nowadays available through legal databases. In some parts of the world, there are databases allowing people to retrieve such documents from the record electronically (e.g., PACER in the United States). However, this doesn't seem to be the case here (see the links to the court's website given above) and, more importantly, this is from a hearing that transpired more than 20 years ago, before electronic records would commonly be used. And even if it existed—courts generally provide such documents only for a fee. Fourth, this is a primary source we are talking about, whose use does conflict with Wikipedia policies in the first place. Why should people go to such great lengths to obtain a document that loses all value the moment somebody enforces existing policies? Meanwhile, you've been advised to get in touch with the court administration, which would require a minimum effort on your part, but which apparently you don't want to do. For all the foregoing reasons, I suggest to archive this request. Best, — Pajz (talk) 04:39, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Tehree Gordon pages in Jirrahlinga book

[edit]

Hello. I am looking for any pages about Tehree Gordon in this book:

  • Levett, Robin (2002). Jirrahlinga: The Story of an Australian Wildlife Refuge, Its Creator, Its Carers, and Its Inmates. Hudson Publishing. ISBN 9780949873859. OCLC 56122110.

I am looking primarily for her early life, education and career but any pages that mentions her would be helpful. Thanks! --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 04:30, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Added an OCLC link. Looks like it is well represented in Australian libraries, along with holdings in Cambridge, New Zealand, Stockholm, and Washington, D.C.. --Usernameunique (talk) 05:04, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Information from 'Of Dwarves and Men' in The Peoples of Middle-earth

[edit]

{{resolved}} I need the page number of the information that Durin II began a cooperation with the Men of the Vales of Anduin. It should be in The Peoples of Middle-earth, the section called 'Of Dwarves and Men'. (Please provide the citation information for your copy along with the page number - it should preferably be the 1996 edition, as that's what's used on the page already.) Durin will be improved by this; the section on Durin II does not have this information, which is pretty much all we know about his reign. --Nerd1a4i (talk) 23:13, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nerd1a4i, hm, any further details about where this can be found? I imagine it will be hard to locate this bit of information for people unfamiliar with the work. I could probably skim through the chapter for a couple of minutes, but I can obviously not read the entire chapter, and I'm somewhat skeptical as to the odds of this approach proving successful ... — Pajz (talk) 16:22, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Pajz: Well, I've been doing more research, and I was just about to update this...this particular fact does not seem to exist. I was on Tolkien Gateway and found it, but there was no page number citation. Chronologically it would make sense for it to have been Durin II, but nowhere does it specifically name him, so this request should probably be closed as impossible. Sorry about that! Guess I need to be more careful when using Tolkien Gateway. --Nerd1a4i (talk) 16:24, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thomas Bond, surgeon

[edit]
{{Resolved}}

I have from a semi-reliable source the text of Thomas Bond (surgeon)'s newspaper obituary. I'd like the original please for verification,

  • Thomas Bond obit, Morning Star, 13 July 1901.

I need this for an article I am constructing on Railway surgery. I wish to confirm that Bond was surgeon to the Great Eastern and Great Western railways. He also has an obit in the Lancet which may possibly have the same information, and would be more authoritative,

  • Thomas Bond obit, The Lancet, vol. 1, p. 1721, 1901.

Thanks, SpinningSpark 10:43, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • The gbooks link to the Lancet is only giving me snippet view. I can't read the full text. I've struck the first one, my apologies, I had misread the citations. The obit was actually from The Times on a different date. I can get that one myself through my library membership. SpinningSpark 17:46, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
SpinningSpark, the Lancet obituary (which is at a different location in that volume) does not confirm the Great Eastern/Great Western connection, but the Times obituary does. It sounds like you don't need the Lancet and can get the Times yourself, but please advise if you need help. John M Baker (talk) 18:24, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, marking as resolved. SpinningSpark 18:38, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Spinningspark, it's probably out of copyright in the US, then, and still protected in the UK. If ScienceDirect gives a first page preview, you can also see The Lancet mention here. Upon reading it, however, I realize it is not the obituary you are looking for. Can you see the one here? If not, I can email it to you. The first one is quite short. Entitled "The Late Mr. Thomas Bond", the full text reads: "A POST MORTEM examination upon the body of the late Mr. Thomas Bond, whose death we recently chronicled, throws a light upon a tragedy that has much affected the medical profession. Microscopical examination of the prostate gland showed it to be not only enlarged but affected with scirrhus. This explains the agonising pain which the unfortunate patient experienced during the last three or four months of his life, pain which, in the end, upset the mental balance and terminated the valuable life of a highly respected confrère." --Usernameunique (talk) 21:57, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I've got the Lancet obit now from your link. That's useful. SpinningSpark 22:34, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings, has someone access to Jebel Marra volcano: a link between the Nile Valley, the Sahara, and Central Africa. for Deriba Caldera? It seems to be the chapter of a book; if so only the chapter is necessary. Thanks in advance! Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 20:01, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As can be learned through a Google query within approximately three seconds, "Jebel Marra volcano: a link between the Nile Valley, the Sahara, and Central Africa" is the title of a chapter in Williams et al., The Sahara and the Nile, 1980, ISBN 90-6191-012-9, p. 305-37. — Pajz (talk) 13:54, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Jo-Jo Eumerus: It's a fairly long chapter to scan. The sections are:
  1. Introduction
  2. Geological Setting
  3. Quaternary Deposits
    1. The volcanic ash Piedmont between Das and Nyertete
    2. The polygenic soils between Nyertete and Zalingei
    3. The polygenic soils between Zlingei and Kebkabiya, and the diatomite deposit near Kebkabiya
    4. The dissected ash deposited in and around the Deriba caldera, Jebel Marra
    5. The red sands and peripheral dark looms of the Qoz Dango region in southern Darfur
    6. The dark fluviatile Regina clays and associated soils between Ed Da'ein and the Bar el Arab
  4. Discussion (one paragraph that basically suggests further study, doesn't specifically mention Deriba caldera)
  5. Summary Geomorphic History of the Jebel Marra Region
  6. Conclusion
  7. Acknowledgements
  8. References
The Deriba caldera is one of six localities studied. Would it be sufficient to copy section 3.4 (7 pages) and sections 5 through 8, or do you need the whole chapter? --Worldbruce (talk) 22:10, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
