For Herbert Maryon

According to the below article, The March number of "Arts and Crafts" is, as usual, full of articles which are intended to provide students and art workers with useful information on a variety of subjects in which they are interested. The most important of these articles are "Various Methods of Finishing Oak," by Mr. W. Daniell; "Metal Work," by Mr. H. J. Maryon; "Practical Talks about Wood-Carving," by Mr. H. Turner; "Inlaying," by Mr. A[rthur] C[awdron] Horth; and "Bookbinding," by Mr. F. Sangorski and Mr. G. Sutcliffe. Among the more notable illustrations are reproductions of drawings by Henner, E. Detaille, and Feyen Perrin.

• "The March number of "Arts and Crafts"". Art and Artists. The Globe. No. 34, 559. London. 14 March 1906. p. 4.

The starting point is to figure out what journal this is—a task not helped by its generic name. There's a good chance that this is a small journal that didn't last long. The article would be Maryon's second published work that I'm aware of, five months after "Early Irish Metal Work", in another small journal. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Usernameunique (talk) 01:42, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Based on the location, maybe [1]? Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 02:18, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much for that, Eddie891. I think you're right. I sent an email to a library that looks like it has a copy of the issue in question, but didn't receive a response. I've now submitted an ILL request, so hopefully that will both prove you right, and get the article. --Usernameunique (talk) 05:53, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How's this going? If you're having trouble with the ILL, I should be able to request an ILL for OCLC 225804755 pretty easily, as my university is within the Big Ten Academic Alliance, and so is one of the libraries that has it. If you received it but it's not the right magazine, if you send me the full newspaper article that prompted your search, I can try to figure out what else it might be. Solomon Ucko (talk) 06:24, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Sollyucko. Would you mind giving it a go? My library claims that the ILL was unsuccessful; I could try submitting it again, but perhaps you would have better luck if a copy is already within your system. --Usernameunique (talk) 20:19, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it looks like University of Minnesota, Twin Cities doesn't have that issue, but it looks like the following libraries have it:

• Queen's University Library (Canada)
• National Library of Scotland
• University of Cambridge (UK)
• State Library Western Australia
• Duke University (US)
• Louisiana State University (US)

Two of these are academic libraries in the US, so I think there's a decent chance of success. My university's ILL department is a bit busy currently, but I'll submit it in a few days and see what happens. If you contact me via Special:EmailUser, I'll send you the scan I receive, if it's successful.

Solomon Ucko (talk) 21:16, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've submitted an ILL request myself. It might be more complicated than I originally thought, but hopefully they can figure it out without too much difficulty... I'm just confused how issue and volume numbers correspond with months and years... Solomon Ucko (talk) 13:58, 5 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comparing earlier mentions of Arts and Crafts in The Globe with https://archive.org/details/artscrafts01londuoft confirms that the publisher is Hutchinson & Co. The listing in the catalog of the National Library of Scotland indicates that this is v. 4, no. 22.

My request "has been cancelled by ILL staff for the following reason: Unable to find supplier / The only library that owns this particular year has it as an electronic subscription and they do not have the license to lend it."

I've replied to ask if they can at least provide metadata, as well as sending them a list of libraries that seem to have it in print, narrowed down to Queen's, NLS, and Cambridge, which say they have vol. 4.

Solomon Ucko (talk) 16:10, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Usernameunique: Is this still needed? A few of my friends are attending Queen’s in the fall, and I could ask them to see if they can get it. Barring that, I can try an ILL, but again, that’ll have to wait until fall. ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 06:13, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I can request this from Queen's. ILL here is usually pretty quick and the librarians are wizards, so I've got some hope. -- asilvering (talk) 13:48, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Arthur Mowbray Jones (Wikispecies) published several sets of prints of ferns, with text descriptions which I have listed on Wikisource. A 2015 book about his work included a CD-ROM with digitisations of these.

I am looking to add images of the prints to Commons and to transcribe Jones' original texts to Wikisource; as well as writing and illustrating his biography here.

No scans seem to be available at the Internet Archive or Biodiversity Heritage Library.

Can anyone assist, please? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 14:19, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Pigsonthewing perhaps you could purchase the book? I don't think it's particularly expensive, given the fact that it comes with the CD-ROM. BorgQueen (talk) 09:27, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The nearest copy to me looks to be at the Conservatory and Botanical Garden of the City of Geneva. I can get it delivered to me for 6 CHF and it seems to include the CD. @Andy, if you really want this, I can get it, but I'm surprised that there'd be a copy in Switzerland and not in the UK. I also can't guarantee that I'll digitize all 128 pages, since that's quite a lot. Toadspike [Talk] 08:50, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For Arcas and about 10 other articles about American sounding rockets.

Houston, we have a problem! While searching for sources about Arcas sounding rocket, I found that some of the pictures of it (like that scheme) comes from scanned pages of a summary report about 18 sounding rockets, published on 18 April 1961. Scanned pages were available at "rocketryonline.com" website (archived, but pictures weren't archived).

Searching for that report, I found another report, about Aerobee, on the website of rocket simulation software RASAero: [2]. Schemes of Aerobee in that report are in the same style as schemes of Arcas, showing that the reports are from one series. That report revealed that the reports in question were not from NASA itself, but from Vought Astronautics. It also contains a list of other reports of the series. The first page of document contains accession and NASA Contractor Report (CR) numbers. So, to locate other ~18 reports, I tried to find it on NTRS, where all such technical reports are to be found.

I found nothing. Not by title, not by CR number, not by contract number (NAS1-1013), not by author (Vought). Maybe it is on the "NASA Registered Content" part of NTRS? That would be strange, as only report on motors was classified ("Confidential"). Thanks, Trasheater Midtier🐉(talk) 16:57, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For Alien Breed 3D II: The Killing Grounds, I need a whole review of the game written by this Italian magazine. Supposedly, a website called RetroEdicola hosts a scan of this issue of the magazine, but viewing scans there requires registration, although some scans available on the Internet Archive are pulled from the website.

Thanks, FreeMediaKid$ 18:17, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I do need additional sources relating to the Palaeotheriidae, especially Palaeotherium, but since the above sources are theses, I will at least request source portions that are critical. For the former source, may I have pages that concern the taxonomy of the genus Palaeotherium itself (the genus plus species diagnoses and anatomical descriptions, especially of synonymized species and the newly erected species P. pomeli and P. ruetimeyeri?) And for the latter, may I have at least pages detailing the anatomical descriptions of the vertebrae, ribs, and limb bones of P. magnum? It is critical that I be able to define the diagnosis of the genus and the postcranial anatomy of it. Thanks! PrimalMustelid (talk) 19:39, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For The Three Out.

There's a mention of The Three Out's debut album Move (1961) by Dick Hughes in the Sunday Telegraph (Sydney, Australia) I'm trying to find. It is referenced in some articles when the album was reissued in 2016 with the following quote:

"MOVE remains one of the greatest jazz recordings ever made in Australia."

It's not clear when the article was published. Likely December 1961 when the groups follow up album Sittin In was released.

As far as I can see, there's no searchable archive of this paper online. But I could be wrong.

For Hugh Evelyn-White: I have not found the thesis cited in full, but it is often referenced as the source of the (almost certainly false) claim that E-W wrote "I have succumbed to a curse" in his own blood before his death. First references to it are news articles from July 1985 (e.g. LA Times here; I don't have a title, unfortunately, but it's probably something to do with fungi and the Egyptian pyramids, possibly mentioning Aspergillus flavus. Generally given as a doctoral thesis from the Strasbourg school of Medicine. Any reference to Evelyn-White from the thesis gratefully received.

For The Horse-Devil and the Witch and Animal as Bridegroom. The work by Heda Jason is a sort of supplement to Eberhard/Boratav's 1953 Turkish Folktale index, which was done in reference to the 1928 revision of the international Aarne-Thompson Index. Heda Jason's work, from 1970, sought to examine the 1953 index, compare it and adapt it to the 1961 revision (by Thompson). I'm looking for the summary first to better locate the pages I'm looking for, since types 425-449 were among some of the changes made from the 1928 to the 1961 edition.

For Blackrocks Brewery, I'd like to get a list of the largest craft breweries in the state of Michigan ordered by total production in beer barrels.

Specifically, for the article I'd like to say that it's the Nth largest brewery in the state of Michigan. Unfortunately, no news articles have reported that list since 2022 (with 2021 data). Since that time, Blackrocks has significantly increased production and the state's largest craft brewer no longer qualifies as "craft" after changes in ownership.

I think the "published" is just someone trying to figure out how to input the date of the presentation into a form that doesn't have a more useful field.

For Peel Commission, Dog in the manger, various articles related to Israeli-Palestinian conflict

Hi, I don't know much about this topic but I believe there was a set of non-public testimonies given during the Peel Commission which have since become available, per: "The commissioners made their recommendation after listening to several weeks of testimony, delivered in both public and secret sessions. The transcripts of the public testimony were published soon afterward, but the secret testimony transcripts were only released by the United Kingdom’s National Archives in March 2017."[6] But I'm not sure where to find these testimonies. What specifically got me looking into this was to read Churchill's secret testimony regarding statements he made about the Palestinians.

Thank you, IOHANNVSVERVS (talk) 03:25, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@IOHANNVSVERVS: The resource cited in the article you linked is cataloged at The National Archives here. The archives have not digitized the material. It is unlikely that a volunteer here able and willing to visit the archives in Kew will step forward, but you can go there yourself, or there's a link on the catalog page to instructions on how to order copies from the archives (for a fee). Another approach would be to contact the author of the article, Laila Parsons, to see if she is willing to share the copies she received from a colleague. --Worldbruce (talk) 05:12, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently there are over 500 pages. The archives will copy them for you but will charge you quite a lot, probably a few hundred pounds. Zero^talk 05:40, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't mean to be snarky, but there are currently 87,334 Wikipedia articles tagged as having zero sources at all and 647,204 Wikipedia articles tagged as having unsourced statements of some kind. Are you planning to use something found here to improve the article? (I ask since you haven't edited an enwiki article since 2022.) If the answer is yes, then fine, but otherwise (speaking for myself) I think it's best to focus WP:RX volunteer time towards requests for articles that are actively being worked on.

For Chiisana Koi no Uta

This is a book about 30 popular Japanese songs from Heisei era. Recently, I started writing about the Mongol800 song "Chiisana Koi no Uta" in German and English Wikipedia. While searching for sources, I stumbled upon this book written by music critic Tomonori Shiba. I need the pages where the book gives further detailed information about the song (such as background, analysis, interpretations) so I can keep on working on that article in both languages. I need the exact pages where Shiba wrote about the song as well. The book has a total of 303 pages.

Looking for one book. I only remember the beginning of the piece. Some guy found a derelict computer, sat down at it and started doing something, and then he saw a man with a gun walk up to the desk, they looked at each other in silence for a while, then the guy mechanically pressed the Enter button and the man shot him back. The work was read in the 1990s or very early 2000s. The piece appeared no later than the 1990s (probably earlier). I also remember that the guy was doing something enthusiastically on the computer: at first he typed without looking at the screen, but the message on the computer monitor made him do his work more slowly and carefully. The phrases went something like this. The message on the computer screen made him work more carefully. Behind the desk stood a man with a gun in his hand. The guy had never seen a real gun, except in the movies, but he knew immediately what it was. The guy's hand dropped mechanically to the Enter button, and the same second the black muzzle of the gun burst into flames, ending his life.

I'm hoping that someone can track down the above-mentioned sources for use in Nori Bunasawa. Three of them appear to be from newspapers that might have online archives or might be available via Newspapers.com. I'm not sure about Orange Network, but it seems to be a monthly magazine/newsletter put out by the Orange County Japanese American Association. Anyway, all of these were mentioned in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nori Bunasawa as helping to establish Bunasawa's Wikipedia notability. If someone's able to find them but can't provide links to them, perhaps they could add their assessment of the source to the AfD.

@Marchjuly: Sent #1 (Orange County Register) via email. P.S. if I'm reading this comment correctly, they may already have photos/scans of the remaining two, so maybe it would be worth asking if they could share them with you via email? DanCherek (talk) 22:59, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you doing that DanCherek. It would probably better, though, if the user proposing they help establish Bunasawa's Wikipedia notability either provide a link to them (if available) of at least summarized what's in the sources on the article's talk page or on the AfD's talk page. If they send me them via email, then everything would rest on my assessment. So, if I assess them as not being a RS or not being a sigcov, then it's basically a disagreement between two people unless others are being emailed the same sources. I could see perhaps emailing someone acting as a neutral arbiter or perhaps discussing them at WP:RSN, but I don't think the other person would consider me to be neutral. FWIW, I did a based Template:Source assess of the other links posted in that AfD and none of them seem to be sigcov in my opinion; so, once again, I don't think the other person would consider it appropriate for me to be the sole judge of the proposed sources in this case. I did find a link to the Orange Network source but it only shows the cover and nothing else. Looking at other more recent issues of that magazine, though, there seems to be a good chance it's not going to be considered sigcov. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:13, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Marchjuly, it's up to you (as the requester)! But yeah if you no longer have a need for the remaining sources at this time, add a {{resolved}} (or {{withdrawn}}) template to archive it and that might help others focus on outstanding requests.
