::Thanks for the effort! I have just sent an email to the Berklee librarian (from my student email account, maybe that helps). Will try some others if this one doesn’t work. The music industry isn’t exactly the best ally of free knowledge, so asking the IFPI directly seems hopeless to me. Of course the issue is that the data would need to be updated every year with the new report, so an easy way to have “permanent” access would be ideal. Let’s see what I’ll achieve!

Finding a source
- Tips for finding a source yourself
- Send a request to the author(s) of research papers for a copy of their paper by email
- Check sources available in The Wikipedia Library Bundle – immediate access for editors active for at least six months with over 500 edits
- Available databases include: EBSCO, JSTOR, Oxford, ProQuest
- Consider applying for access to additional Wikipedia Library sources at The Wikipedia Library Card Platform
- Available databases include: Gale, Newspapers.com, Project MUSE, Taylor & Francis
- Search for periodical titles in the Wikipedia Library database index at The Wikipedia Library/A–Z
- Check on Google Books, or your local library or national library may be able to obtain it through an interlibrary loan or subscription
- Search Google Scholar for archived copies of journals in institutional repositories
- Check whether your alma mater's library offers electronic document delivery services for alumni, if applicable
Note that sites like Library Genesis (LibGen) and Sci-Hub offer direct, free access to a very large range of publications, but there are legal questions around their use and neither the Wikimedia Foundation nor the Wikipedia community endorses them.
- Making a request
- A request may be an open question or you may ask for a specific journal, article or work
- All kinds of sources are possible here: newspapers, magazine article, databases, encyclopedias, court decisions, laws, books, etc.
- We cannot perform full book copy requests due to copyright. Please ask for specific pages that relate to the article(s) you need them for
- You may contact research helpers directly or make a request on this page
- To receive email without disclosing your email address publicly, configure your email in Special:Preferences
- Provide as much detail as possible: a full citation with author, title, publisher, and date or identifiers like DOI, ISBN, ISSN, PMID, OCLC, etc.
- Once a request has been fulfilled add the {{Resolved}} template.
- Filled requests are archived.
- Requests unfilled after three months will be archived
Index 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 |

Fulfilling a request
- Anyone may offer advice and fulfill requests.
- Indicate which part or parts of the request is being handled so others do not duplicate your work.
- Notify (mention) the requester using
{{ping|REQUESTER_USERNAME}}
- You can:
- point to a pre-existing electronic document by giving its URL ( http://... )
- share scans of pages or documents using a file-sharing service, provided it is legal
- upload out of copyright works to Wikimedia Commons and/ or Wikisource (but be careful that this does not breach your own institution's policies)
- email a link or plain text to a requester using the Special:EmailUser feature but for attachments, you need to ask them to mail you first so you can reply.
Copyright tips:
- Respect copyrights and terms of services of any online services you use.
- Share content in a limited manner that is targeted at as few individuals as possible to achieve a specific improvement on Wikipedia. All content is shared under a presumed non-commercial, educational, fair use purpose in order to conduct research about topics on Wikipedia and/or to improve Wikipedia content.
- Share copies privately rather than with a publicly accessible link whenever possible. Copyrighted articles from print publications or copies obtained through online databases should not be uploaded for unrestricted distribution via open websites.

Article in a 2003 issue of TV magazine Radio Times
- (can't figure out how to do a citation here) - the article seemingly titled "monster magic" on pg. 38 of the 6 November 2003 issue (issue no. 4156) of Radio Times; it seems to be an article about this TV series and since sources are hard to come by, will probably be useful. It exists as per these; 1, 2.
Thanks, Ichthyovenator (talk) 13:56, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
- Ichthyovenator, how confident are you in the page number? I asked for pages 37–39, and my library claims they couldn't find it in the page range. The first link you provided says "Monster magic: page 38", but it also says "Appears in: Issue 4156, 6 November 2003, Page 78". It seems as if the text on the website is a transcription of (part of) what appears on page 78 of the 6 November 2003 issue. Do you understand "Monster magic: page 38" to be referring to another page in the same issue of Radio Times? Considering that it follows a reference to "(S) BBC BOOK: Sea Monsters, now available price £17.99", could "Monster magic: page 38" be referring to a page of the BBC book instead? --Usernameunique (talk) 09:19, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

- @Darkwarriorblake: #5 is available in ProQuest via the Wikipedia Library Bundle here. Please read the second point under "Finding a source" at the top of this page. —Bruce1eetalk 14:45, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
- How did you tell which collection it was under? Darkwarriorblake / SEXY ACTION TALK PAGE! 15:52, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
- @Darkwarriorblake: That's not an easy question to answer. It's often a good idea to start with the general-purpose collections like ProQuest and EBSCO which cover a wide range of topics and sources. Other collections, like Oxford Bibliographies Online, are more specialized and only need be used if they focus on topics you're after. You can find out what each collection covers by clicking on their information links. But with experience you'll get to know which ones to use. —Bruce1eetalk 16:46, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
- @Darkwarriorblake: Something else that is often helpful in finding which collection or database to use is The Wikipedia Library/A–Z. —Bruce1eetalk 21:32, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

Darkwarriorblake, sent #3, #4. — Pajz (talk) 21:19, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks Pajz Darkwarriorblake / SEXY ACTION TALK PAGE! 21:22, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
- Darkwarriorblake, do you have any more information about #6, such as page numbers? Is the article title actually the same as the magazine title? --Usernameunique (talk) 16:45, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
- Usernameunique just that it is issue 27. As I understand it, it's pretty much the bulk of the issue, but I can't tell how much or page numbers as the only way to purchase it is through the apple store and I don't have any iProducts. I have been able to acquire a few Cinefex issues but the physical copy for that one is running £20. Darkwarriorblake / SEXY ACTION TALK PAGE! 17:37, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
- Darkwarriorblake, what precisely are you looking for? Is it an article, entitled "Cinefex," within the journal Cinefex? You list the author as Don Shay, yet he is also the publisher; is this some sort of "letter from the editor" starting off the issue? Or is Cinefex different from most journals (which are broken down into a number of articles), and each issue is essentially a single article? By the way, it looks like it would be available for $4.99 on iPad, though I'm not sure how to get around the iProducts issue. —Usernameunique (talk) 22:50, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
- Usernameunique I am very, very sorry for the delay, I did not get pinged or did not notice it. Each Cinefex issue tends to read like most sci-fi mags of its time, it'll have articles about different films and topics, but the Aliens issue is apparently a whole issue dedicated to the film and the article is written by Don Shay. Without getting my hands on it I can't really provide more clarity than that unfortunately. Darkwarriorblake / SEXY ACTION TALK PAGE! 10:33, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
- No problem, Darkwarriorblake. I've been able to get the cover and ToC for Cinefex 27, which indicates that there's an article entitled "Aliens" beginning on page 4, with author Don Shay. The ToC doesn't list anything else, so it's likely, as you said, a dedicated issue. I've updated the citation above. If you want to cover and ToC, email me and I'll send it over. I also may be able to get the article itself, and will follow up on that when I hear more. --Usernameunique (talk) 21:32, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

Source search for I.W. Cornwall, a British archaeologist
Hello. I'm looking for sources for my draft on I.W. Cornwall. I'm looking for two specific things:
1: Cornwall was born in India in 1909 and later went to private school at Wellington College in England. I would like to know which year/age or rough timeline he moved to England. It'd have to be somewhere between the 1900s to 1920s as he graduated from St John's College, Cambridge in 1931.- 2: I have a date of death for Cornwall (18 November 1994) but not a place of death. I presume it's Surrey as the A&C Black version of Who Was Who has an address in Surrey, England, but I'd like to be sure. Surprisingly, I haven't found a newspaper source from 1994+ that talks about his death, so I'm not sure.
For these two points, I highly assume that if an obituary from 1994+ mentions Cornwall, it'd have his place of death. As for when he moved from India to England, i dunno if an obituary would have it. Encyclopedias entries haven't been able to fill in these two holes. I've found sources under the names I.W. Cornwall, Ian Wolfran Cornwall and Ian Wolfram Cornwall. I'm pretty sure Wolfram is a misspelling as the British sources I've found spelt his middle name as Wolfran. So, the first two naming versions might have more luck than the last. Thanks! MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 01:18, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
- Edit: Just found when he attended St. John's College, so I don't need #1. #2 I still need. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 01:50, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

- @Pigsonthewing: In regards to his death, I am looking for 1994+ obituaries for sure. Whether one exists or not is the question, and i had no luck finding a specific obit with this info. Therefore, i have to be general. Thank you for the suggestion. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 19:26, 15 November 2020 (UTC)

Maybe also try asking on Talk:Kauppalehti and fi:Keskustelu:Kauppalehti (needs to be created, but any who watch fi:Kauppalehti should see it) as well? Can't hurt. --Usernameunique (talk) 20:33, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Probably a hopeless case, but has someone access to this publication? For User:Jo-Jo Eumerus/Tocorpuri
Thanks, Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 20:54, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
- Jo-Jo Eumerus, try contacting the author: his gmail can be found by clicking on his bolded name here. —Usernameunique (talk) 23:31, 13 January 2021 (UTC)
- By the way, Jo-Jo Eumerus, a response to your comment regarding contacting authors, which was archived before I had a chance to respond. You said "Sorry, but in light of bad experiences I am extremely reluctant at contacting people off-Wikipediaby email." I'm not sure what bad experiences you are, or could be, referring to; the worst that can happen by emailing an author and requesting an article is that they respond by saying "no." In fact, the very first of the "Tips for finding a source yourself" at the top of this page is to "Send a request to the author(s) of research papers for a copy of their paper by email."
- There are many reasons for authors to oblige, such as the desire to see their research widely distributed, professional pride, and common courtesy. It is frequently also the least indulgent request, because other means—asking people to track down and download or scan a work, or requesting an institution obtain it via ILL—tend to take more time and money than reaching out to someone who already has it. Given the nature of your requests, many of which are obscure, held by few institutions, and difficult to obtain—a prime example being this article, which you term "Probably a hopeless case"—it almost behooves you to take the step of reaching out to those most likely to have the articles—that is, the authors themselves. --Usernameunique (talk) 02:03, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
- OK, I see. Will probably take some time though, messaging a stranger over stuff on a website is always a bit hard. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 12:25, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
- Sounds good, Jo-Jo Eumerus. If the discomfort of sending strangers emails is what's making you hesitant, don't worry—I would just send a brief form email (similar to how you lead off most of your requests here with "Greetings, has someone..."), saying that you came across a reference to their article, think it might be useful for a Wikipedia article you're working on, and wonder if they have a copy readily available. --Usernameunique (talk) 14:46, 14 January 2021 (UTC)

For de:Italienische populäre Musik
I asked this already one year ago, sadly without getting a reply. But I still need the report and can't find it anywhere. Apparently, there is a number of libraries in UK and US that have the report, so maybe someone can access it (but: the IFPI only allows citing if the institution got an external-use license). I need the section about Italy. Would be highly appreciated!
Thanks, XanonymusX (talk) 13:18, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
- XanonymusX, I tried ILLing this without any luck. I also reached out via online chat to the NYU and Harvard libraries, which have the report (Harvard doesn't have 2020 yet), but are only providing them to current affiliates at this time. The Harvard librarian suggested a) reaching out to the IFPI directly, as they *might* be willing to spot you one page (they might be even more likely if an older page would work, like from the 2019 report), and b) reaching out to the Berklee College of Music librarian listed here, as they have the current report and, again, *might* be willing to send you a page.
- There are enough well-known institutions with electronic and/or hard copies of the report (NYU, Harvard, USC, Stanford, etc.), that another possibility would be finding a current affiliate of one of those institutions; many if not most of them could likely either access it online via a database, or have their school scan and email it. One option would be to reach out directly to people listed at:
- The caveat is that most of these are likely to be alums who no longer have the access they once had. (Looking through the userpages might give you a better idea of who's an alum and who's a current affiliate.)
- A third suggestion would simply be to chat up more librarians at the libraries listed on WorldCat. Perhaps the answer 9 times out of 10 will be that only current affiliates have access, but if that's the case, it only takes asking 10 times before you find what you're looking for.
- Fourth, there might be a better chance of ILLing this once the world returns to normal. --Usernameunique (talk) 20:44, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for the effort! I have just sent an email to the Berklee librarian (from my student email account, maybe that helps). Will try some others if this one doesn’t work. The music industry isn’t exactly the best ally of free knowledge, so asking the IFPI directly seems hopeless to me. Of course the issue is that the data would need to be updated every year with the new report, so an easy way to have “permanent” access would be ideal. Let’s see what I’ll achieve! Regards, XanonymusX (talk) 21:11, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
- XanonymusX, any luck? --Usernameunique (talk) 19:03, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Neither IA nor Google Books have it; even ABE has no copies. There's a copy on eBay, but at a silly price. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:03, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

- Pigsonthewing, I almost put in an ILL request, but then realized that the Boston copy is "Not loanable." (It looks like the British Library has one or two copies, though a loan from there would also be unlikely. OCLC 559550034, 752740531) But the work is cited in a book (n.18) by Tammy M. Proctor (contact info), and another (n.4) by John C. Mitcham (contact info). Admittedly the odds aren't great, but perhaps you could try reaching out to them, and see how they came about it. --Usernameunique (talk) 05:52, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
- Pigsonthewing, I see the copy on eBay sold. I don't suppose you were the one who picked it up? --Usernameunique (talk) 19:30, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

- Fair enough, I just figured that sometimes people do silly things. Here's a 2017 article that takes extensively from the book, including a number of photographs. It's written by Marek Popiel, who is the editor-in-chief of the magazine (source). Pigsonthewing, If I were you, I would reach out via the first email on the magazine's contact page; it's a recent article and has clearly digitized part of the Boy Scouts and What They Do book, so he may well have a scanned copy. --Usernameunique (talk) 14:48, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

Oricon weekly #1 singles from 1993-2004
This is to be able to create the redlinks found in the Number-one singles in Japan template. According to Worldcat, this book is found in the Yale University Library and the National Diet Library (in Japan). I don't have access to either of those. I don't know page numbers, and it will be a lot of them as I need the weekly #1 singles for every week within 1993-2004 to be able to create the articles.

- @Usernameunique:
I had access to it for a brief time, but I no longer have access to it (and no way to regain access at this time).I was remembering a different book used for a different set of refs. For these ones, the reference indicates that the cited site uses this book as a reference. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 21:00, 11 January 2021 (UTC)- Good point, Nihonjoe—I didn't read that closely. --Usernameunique (talk) 02:22, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

Romanian Review
The google preview (at least via the search) yields a text beginning
November 10 is the date of the second great battle of Oituz , right in the area of action of the mentioned group . The fights lasted until November 15 , 1916 , and the initiative belonged to the Romanian army . During November 11 , 12 , and 13, the strategic detachments of the “ Oituz " group attacked the enemy on all six main directions , in order to provoke heavy losses and to prevent them from transferring any other reinforcement from that point to other sectors of the front. The adversaries attacked and counterattacked constantly , until November 16 , when the " Oituz " group switched to a strategy of defence , on the entire front line . After more than one month of continuous military actions , the defenders of the pass of Oituz practically locked up this region , and defeated the enemy ' s plans to pierce the Romanian front towards the South of Moldavia . (page 123) The valley of Olt was also taken into account by the enemy HQ , as a possible piercing point through the Carpathian barrier , as the region had a huge traffic potential , in favour of the troops rapidly advancing on the highway and railway. Moreover, the valley offered good conditions for actions of encircling particularly on the valleys open towards the Olt . The " Krafft " group was created for this mission , and it consisted of 20 battalions and 16 artillery batteries . Its main mission was to resume the attacks on the route of Curtea de Arges - Piteşti . The area was defended by the 1st Romanian Army Corps , namely by the 13th and 23rd infantry divisions , the 1st cavalry brigade , 33 infantry battalions , 6 cavalry squadrons , and 28 artillery batteries . There was a machine - gun ratio with the enemy of 2 . 2 to 1 , and they had a machine gun for each of their combat unit , besides its 12 mountain artillery batteries . The Romanian troops , though , had only 3 mountain artillery batteries , and no machine - gun . On October 14 , the Romanian troops were on defending positions , with the 23 infantry division placed east of the river Olt , 2 km west of the Negoiu peak and the town of Cîineni . The 13th infantry division stood west of Olt , and was spread until the Pietrosul peak . The 1st Army Corps had one squadron and 3 pioneer companies as reserve . In its first stage , the offensive plan of the German and Austrian - Hungarian troops was to open the pass of Turnu Roşu and to penetrate the territory up to Curtea de Argeş , through a front attack , and to outflank on both sides the 1st Romanian
on p. 122–123. This is clearly about this battle, but I am unable to see anything further. I'd like the have the given page, and any subsequent/preceding pages that refer to this as well.

- RandomCanadian, one thing that would be helpful to do is to click on "Report an Issue" at the bottom of the Google Books page, select "I have a question or feedback about a book," and ask them for the citation information of that passage. They typically respond within a couple days, and should be able to tell you the issue, date, author, article title, and page range. --Usernameunique (talk) 03:02, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
- RandomCanadian, I was able to expand your quote using my Google Books magic powers. (t · c) buidhe 04:33, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
- @Buidhe: Thanks! This is far more interesting (at least from the NPOV side of things, as now I am not just dealing with German sources); although the bit that is relevant to the battle is only the first few sentences - reading the text it appears like it is a continuation of something coming before, so I've gone ahead via the route Username suggested. Hopefully there's more to it (though I can't be sure as it appears to give an outlook on a far larger scale than what I'm looking far). RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 19:09, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
- RandomCanadian, did you get any further information from Google? --Usernameunique (talk) 20:28, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

1980 article from Canadian Composer
Hello. I'm looking for this 1980 article from Canadian Composer for my draft on Walter Rossi. Unfortunately, I only have partial access and partial citation:
- Petrowski, Nathalie (June 1980). "An ironic honour for one of popular music's hard workers". Canadian Composer. ISSN 0008-3259.
As per the citation, I don't have the volume, issue nor page number. I have the first page on Rossi's website (image 5), but I suspect there's more than the one page cause the last sentence doesn't end in a period. If anyone could help find a copy and/or find the full citation, it'd help me out a lot. Thanks! MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 00:12, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

For Guitar Solos 3.
This is a relisting of a request I made in August last year that went stale. I'm hoping I'll have better luck this time.
According to this Google Book snippet, page 53 of Ear, Volume 15 has a piece on Guitar Solos 3 (and Guitar Solos 2). The snippet text reads:
Guitar Solos 2 Caroline Records (out of print), Guitar Solos 3 Rift Records. Traditional guitar playing is most definitely not the focus of these two LPs. Compiled by Fred Frith, whose own album of guitar improvisations began the Guitar series, these ...
I think this is from the April 1990 issue of Ear Magazine (linked above), but I don't know the page number(s). Any help would be appreciated.
