Australian metrication
I am seeing a useful snippet [2] on page 130 of Metrication, the Australian Experience: Proceedings of the North American-Australian Metric Conference that would help improve Australian standard pallet.

Your Computer (homecomputer magazine 80s)
Hi, I need to check a review published in the UK computer magazine Your Computer from november 1983 for the Spectravideo SV-318 homecomputer article in German Wikipedia. All other issues of that magazine are available online at archive.org but not this particular issue :o( Unfortunately I don't have page numbers. Any help where to find the mag online or a copy of the review would be highly appreciated. --Knurrikowski (talk) 08:44, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
- Hi @Knurrikowski: No real solutions for UK computer magazine Your Computer from November 1983 Volume 3 Number 11 but a few ideas:
- First, I'm inferring volume/number from this image of the cover from the UK centre for computing history; you could check if they have a research service available to get scans.
- Alas, I double-checked the archive.org listings for Your Computer and agree this issue is missing; you could email Jason Scott (archive.org staffer who has a personal interest in microcomputer history) to see if they do have a copy waiting to be scanned.
- It appears that ISSN is 0263-0885 and using the OCLC number, 465364609, you can see a list of libraries that have *some* holdings of this magazine.
- The British Library runs an on-demand service and that would be a pretty sure way to get a copy.
- Ulrich's claims that there are two abstracting & indexing services: Construction Research and Innovation (Active) (Print) and Guidelines (Ceased) (Print). That sounds suspicious to me and these are both in print, so I think getting the page number without a copy in front of you or an author's name is going to be difficult.
- I'd suggest posting at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games and possibly reaching out to folks at the World of Spectrum site.
- Good luck & I hope you get ahold of it! Jodi.a.schneider (talk) 16:26, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

Modern source for the population of Londinium
I am looking for "Londinium and Beyond: Essays on Roman London and Its Hinterland", John Clark (ed), 2008, the chapter titled "The Population of Roman London" by Williams, T; Swain, H., to get current expert estimates for the population of Londinium. I've tried searching for the chapter itself (since the book is mostly a collection of conference papers) but without luck. --Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 17:18, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
- @Tiptoethrutheminefield: No real answers, but some directions:
- People can check nearby library holdings in WorldCat; this looks like a special research report of the Council for British Archaeology so I'm not surprised you can't find the chapter itself; UCL has the abstract only (no full-text) publicly available in its repository. First author Tim Williams might be willing to give a copy by email, or the population quote you are looking for; and we find the full citation formatted thus: Williams, T., Swain, H. (2008). The population of Roman London. In Clark, J., Cotton, J., Hall, J., Sherris, R., Swain, H. (Eds.), Londinium and beyond. Essays on Roman London and its hinterland for Harvey Sheldon. (pp. 33-40). York: Council for British Archaeology.
- At King's College London, there is a module (=AmE course) on Roman London; likely you know the rest of the (older) bibliography there. But perhaps the instructor would be willing to give the figure you need...
- Jodi.a.schneider (talk) 16:40, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

"Surprise Me!" shows 80-90% of the M to Z portion of those lists. Signing in to an amazon.com account may show more. If you need scans of four or five other specific pages, I can supply them. Otherwise you'll probably need to borrow or buy the book. Worldbruce (talk) 05:10, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
Kent James/Nick Name
The new article Kent James is currently in a poorly referenced state and makes no strong claim of notability under either WP:NMUSIC or WP:NACTOR — so technically it's AFDable. However, there is a potential alternative to deletion here: the subject was formerly known by the pseudonym "Nick Name", under which he fronted a band called "Nick Name and the Normals" who had an independent documentary film made about them in 2004. The problem, however, is that because the band broke up over a decade ago, I'm not finding strong sourcing on Google to determine whether converting this into an article about either the band or the film is a viable alternative or not — and in terms of more specialized login databases, I only have access to ProQuest's Canadian media databases (but not to any of its American ones), newspapers.com and EBSCOhost. None of which assisted at all, so shifting the article's focus doesn't look promising at this point, but I still wanted to ask if somebody could run a check on Nick Name and the Normals in other databases (Highbeam? Other ProQuest databases that I don't have access to?) before I officially list this for AFD. Thanks. Bearcat (talk) 19:46, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

Global Status of Commercialized Biotech/GM Crops: 2014
Hi. I am trying to update the List of genetically modified crops article with the 2014 area planted. I have done what I can, but am missing a lot of information. I was hoping someone could provide a copy of the ISAAA Brief 49-2014 (ISBN 978-1-892456-59-1), which I think should contain all the additional info I need. Thanks in advance. @Kingofaces43 and Tryptofish: just in case. AIRcorn (talk) 05:44, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
- I don't have access to the 2014 version unfortunately. Online versions seem to pop up after a few years though, but the best I can do for anything in this decade is a hard copy from our library. If you haven't seen the executive summary for the book, this might be a little bit of help. Kingofaces43 (talk) 16:03, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry, I don't have it either. --Tryptofish (talk) 22:22, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

inquiry from the de-WP
Dear friends from the en-WP, is this Google Book available in full view and downloadable in the United States? In Germany, this is not the case. The book was published in 1912, and the author Paul Hambruch died in 1933. Therefore the copyright has expired not only in the United States, but also in most European countries, and perhaps Worldwide. Perhaps Google overlooked this. --Ratzer (talk) 20:45, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
- 1912 is to late, there is rare access. Mostly antil ~1910. Tested with proxy from list in s:de:gbs#Liste aktueller Web-Anonymizer --Franz (Fg68at) de:Talk 13:40, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
- But there is a (qualitative better as Google) scan at https://archive.org/details/landeskundevonsc00hamb --Franz (Fg68at) de:Talk 13:49, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
- Google and HathiTrust both default to a simplistic, safe-for-them approach to copyright, especially for users outside the US. The corresponding HathiTrust record doesn't have a death date for Hambruch, but they will likely be persuaded by the VIAF entry to revise their record. I've just notified them, so we'll see how long they take to respond. LeadSongDog come howl! 16:30, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
- HathiTrust knows the death year of Paul Hambruch, see here.--Ratzer (talk) 10:09, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
- So he may have two distinct records there, one with just the birth date and another with both. Anyhow, they've replied that the correction is in their work queue; they'll get to it eventually. VIAF and GND show a revision in his authority records just this February, but they do not reveal what that revision was. They have no diff accessible to users. It is likely just a case of needing this to percolate through the copyright administration mill. LeadSongDog come howl! 17:16, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Bitter Dawn, used in Murder of Anni Dewani
Bitter Dawn
Author: Dan Newling
ISBN: 9781868426249
Publisher: Johnathan Ball
ASIN: B00OYTE3NS
The Murder of Anni Dewani article makes extensive use of Bitter Dawn. The author who's added the refs hasn't targeted them (i.e. no page numbers) and was involved in a vicious content dispute on the article last year (resolved in his favour). I trust him to correctly represent what the book says, but it might be best if someone else confirms that the refs support the statements. Is it possible to get access to the entire book? It has been released in eBook form.[4] Thanks, Bromley86 (talk) 19:40, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

My university's library has a physical copy as microfiche, so if I can figure out what microfiche is and how to operate the reader for it, I might be able to get you a copy. ~ RobTalk 14:55, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

- @Tolanor: It's possible to print out the microfiche image and then scan it on a normal scanner for sure. I think the machines at my library can also email them to you. But I have a tale of absurdity to tell on this one. My university's library has the entire Newsweek collection on microcard, not microfiche, even though it's catalogued as microfiche. The best part is that we don't appear to own a microcard reader. I held the damn thing in my hand and it was of exactly no use to anyone. I'm going to call on Monday when the person in charge of the microfiche collection is in and see if they have any means of reading the thing. This has got to be the single most ridiculous thing my university has done yet. ~ RobTalk 22:14, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

Looking for sources on nominations for award-type

Currently, these sources can be found on the VHS tapes that can be rented in Texas libaries, and were once available through Google's newspaper archive project before it was shut down in 2011.
