Australian metrication
I am seeing a useful snippet [3] on page 130 of Metrication, the Australian Experience: Proceedings of the North American-Australian Metric Conference that would help improve Australian standard pallet. The complete paper would be good, but if not, just the full citation so I can cite the snippet properly. --SpinningSpark 22:46, 30 January 2016 (UTC)
- @Spinningspark: Here is a link to a list of libraries that have copies of the proceedings.
- From the table of contents, p 27 is the start to "Metric Conversion and Standardisation by Mr W l Stewart" -- perhaps the appropriate article? That seems confirmed by a citation "
- Stewart, W. I., (1975), Metric Conversion and Standardisation, , Proceedings of the North American - Australian Metric Conference - "Metrication : The Australian Experience"., pp. 27 - 33." in Dr Lloyd J Pilgrim (1999) Metrication: A job to complete?, Australian Surveyor, 44:1, 11-19, DOI: 10.1080/00050326.1999.10441898 To link to this article: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00050326.1999.10441898.

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)
- Thanks. Might try the emailing the author route you suggest. Would depend on how willing he is to respond to random communications I suppose. Here is the talk page discussion: [4]. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 16:55, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Tiptoethrutheminefield: Are you still looking for this chapter? Doc Taxon (talk) 07:54, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
- @Doc Taxon: Yes I am, or at least the article is, since Londinium still does not have data on the current accepted estimates for the population. There is an editor on the Londinium article, Dr.K, who insists on using the older and now invalid population estimates you still find reproduced in general non-academic sources, so a modern specialist source is needed. I don't currently have a working Wikipedia-linked email account (have lost its password). Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 15:16, 28 May 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.

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)

- 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?

- If you got it really handy, maybe you can send note 54 for chap. 21. But if not, I'll get to it sometime. Thank you. trespassers william (talk) 23:25, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
- @Danny lost: I never scanned the notes at all, actually; just the pages themselves, index, and TOC. I still have the book, and I'll run to my library in like 15 minutes and scan the notes for chapter 21. Could you let me know one way or the other whether you wanted any other pages based on the index/table of contents for Devil in Christianity? I'll return the book after I do this scan, so this is "final call". ~ RobTalk 23:31, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

Looking for sources on nominations for award-type
I am currently working on the Tejano Music Award for Female Vocalist of the Year and have found it rather difficult to locate who was nominated for certain years (1981-1984, 1986-1994, 1997, 1999, and 2006). 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. Possible newspapers to have the information could be the San Antonio Express-News (where the awards are annually held) and the Corpus Christi Caller Times. Thanks, – jona ✉ 23:28, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
- @AJona1992: I've added a further reading section to the article with six clips from NewspaperArchive.com. They cover 1984, 1986, 1989-1991, and 1994. Some list only the three finalists, rather than the entire pool of nominees, but it's a step in the right direction. Worldbruce (talk) 02:10, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
- @AJona1992: Email me when you have a chance (Special:EmailUser). I have access to the Express-News from 1990 going forward, and I'm looking for relevant articles now. I'll send them by email. ~ RobTalk 15:12, 27 April 2016 (UTC)

Sunday Times article needed
Toward the end of March/beginning of April 1958 Raymond Chandler wrote a review of the Ian Fleming novel Dr. No in The Sunday Times. If anyone has access to this I would be very grateful for a copy. It's for a re-write of the Dr. No (novel) article for an FA push. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 10:04, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

Hoi Toide

- @Wolfdog: I do. I remember helping you out with this book previously. Let me know what pages you need. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 21:20, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
- @MrLinkinPark333: Ah yes, thanks for still participating in this! What kind of process do you go through (i.e. how much trouble would I be putting you to)? If not much, then the whole chapter would be great. Do you need page numbers? I'm really trying to determine whether the literature considers Chesapeake Bay English and Outer Banks English to be one dialect. Thanks!
- @Wolfdog: I can provide you with the text. However, there are images and a map that I can't access due to copyright. I've sent what I've got. I used the same resource from the previous Hoi Toide request. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 22:53, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

Reference works discussing Rick Alan Ross
I am looking for any sources of a broadly "reference" nature, like encyclopedias, dictionaries, or academic overview type works, which discuss Rick Alan Ross at any particular length, so that those works might be able to give an indicator of how our article on the subject might best be structured. The subject's particular field of notability is primarily in the fields of new religious movements/cults and cult deprogramming. John Carter (talk) 15:30, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

The Globe and Mail pre-1977 (or certain regional Canadian newspapers)
If anyone has access to The Globe and Mail from before November 1977? The years of 1970–1977 are of particular interest to me. This might take the form of microform, unfortunately, and I don't have an exact date/article I'm looking for. I'm interested in finding any/all information on Marv Allemang while he was at Acadia University (dates are likely 1971–74, but uncertain on this) and playing for the Ottawa Rough Riders (1975–76). Regional papers from Nova Scotia, such as The Chronicle Herald, might also be helpful for the Acadia stuff, as might Ottawa Citizen for the Rough Riders. Please ping me here or message me on my talk page if you have such access, as I think this article might be able to get to GA if such information is found. ~ RobTalk 15:31, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
- @BU Rob13: I got some CFL articles from the globe and mail from 1974-1977. However, they aren't from when he was part of Ottawa, but it still might be helpful. Please send me an email. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 20:28, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

The Deil's Hallowe'en
I need a copy of The Deil's Hallowe'en, a poem by Young Glasgow (which may be a pseudonym) and published in Glasgow in 1856, apparently as a standalone book. It's held at Oxford and at the University of Glasgow; I don't know if there are any other copies. I do not need the entire poem, but only the page on which appears the line "A drappie o' the real McKay," plus any additional pages that may be needed to give the line context (e.g., does "real McKay" refer to a brand of whisky?). I believe this is page 25. This is for real McCoy. John M Baker (talk) 18:52, 2 June 2016 (UTC) --John M Baker (talk) 18:52, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
