Finding a source

Tips for finding a source yourself
Main page: WP:Find your source
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 handle full book scans
  • 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, etc.
  • Once a request has been fulfilled add the {{Resolved}} template.
  • Filled requests are archived.
  • Requests unfilled after three months will be archived

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://... ). You can share scans of pages or documents using a file-sharing service, provided it is legal, or by emailing the content to the requester.
  • You can 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. Preferably, do not share login access codes for entire websites; rather, share only an individual copy of a resource.
  • Remember that you take on the individual risk when sharing content, and act in a way that is comfortable and safe for you. Individual editors are solely responsible for sharing copyrighted content and assume all legal risks.

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. 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)[reply]

@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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

@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)[reply]
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: [3]. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 16:55, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Tiptoethrutheminefield: Are you still looking for this chapter? Doc Taxon (talk) 07:54, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@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)[reply]

Bests and thanks in advance - LouisAragon (talk) 09:30, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@LouisAragon: Amazon's "Look inside" feature includes the 22 page index. The bulk of the book is 169 pages of lists of governors by province. "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)[reply]
@LouisAragon: Is this still to do? Doc Taxon (talk) 22:33, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Doc Taxon:, no it's solved! :-) Had forgotten to place a comment here. Excuse me. Or, do you perhaps have free access to the pages that I can't get for free (see the above link provided by Worldbruce)? Just wondering. @Worldbruce:, thanks a lot once again man. I might need a few more pages later on, but I'll leave you message whenever, as you proposed. If that's still ok with you, of course. For now, the pages I can get myself through the way you link are more than to write a lot of content already. Bests - LouisAragon (talk) 22:53, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@LouisAragon: mostly the Amazon book look inside contains front cover, copyright, table of contents, first pages, index and back cover only. We both never will read more than the other. But if you need some pages as copy from this book, I can get them for you otherwise. Doc Taxon (talk)

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
Sorry, I don't have it either. --Tryptofish (talk) 22:22, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for looking. I have got what I can from the executive summary, most of the info actually came from factsheets they had on their website, but for some reason they didn't have one for the USA. AIRcorn (talk) 00:07, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]
HathiTrust knows the death year of Paul Hambruch, see here.--Ratzer (talk) 10:09, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Does anyone have access to a copy of David Syrett's "The Royal Navy in European Waters During the American Revolutionary War"? Specifically I'm in need to discover what the "G" reference means.

@Dustuiop: Reference G is specified in the Notes (which I found searching in the Amazon preview for note G). G refers to Sir John Fortescue, ed., The Correspondence of King George the Third from 1760 to December 1783 (London, 1972).

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.

@Milowent: I was wondering if you have received the article from Rob. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 13:53, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
MrLinkinPark333, thanks for asking. Actually I never did and I assumed it was because my wiki-linked email was screwed up at the time and I hadn't gotten around to bothering Rob again. I use milowent at gmail.com --Milowent • hasspoken 17:21, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please replace this subject line with a more meaningful description of the request.

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)[reply]

@John Carter: I might be able to find a source in a journal, but I'm not sure. I'll check. ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk) 21:53, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't find anything, but I didn't have the time to check very thoroughly. I'm not sure. ThePlatypusofDoom (Talk) 00:26, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

@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)[reply]
@BU Rob13: Sent the globe and mail articles I could find. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 23:55, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! That covers his time with the Rough Riders well. I could still use some stuff from his time with Acadia. That will likely only be available in a local paper such at The Chronicle Herald, if anyone happens to have access. ~ RobTalk 00:05, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@BU Rob13: If you are looking for Ottawa Citizen articles, Google news has it. I see mentions of him from August - September 1975. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 23:49, 29 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again! Yeah, realised the literature on this dinosaur is huge, so it is quite some work to gather all those old sources... FunkMonk (talk) 01:15, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Your help has really helped me get a grasp of the history of the subject... I think we might get an FA out of this! I guess the rest must be really hard to find... FunkMonk (talk) 04:27, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Improving the Devon and Cornwall County Division

Hello, I am currently working to upgrade the Devon and Cornwall County Division article. While I have the information to explain what such a division was, its background and how it ended, I have little information is either freely available (or easily accessible for me) to help expand what the division actually did during its brief existence (1941). I have been able to utilize a few sources to provide some examples, however a little more information would go a long way to helping to produce a more detailed article. I have identified the following sources that provide information, however brief, on the subject. If anyone is able to access these sources, can you either provide me with scans of the relevant pages so I can further update the article or edits yourself with the information at hand?

  • The History of the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry, 1939-45, Ernest Gordon Godfrey, Robert Frederick Kinglake Goldsmith; Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry (Regimental History Committee), 1966

The above source on p. 30 (and beyond) details the 6th Battalion, who were assigned to this division.

  • The History of the Somerset Light Infantry (Prince Albert's), 1919-1945; George Noble Molesworth, Regimental Committee, Somerset Light Infantry, 1951

The 9th Battalion, Somerset Light Infantry were assigned to the division. From Google's snippet view, I was unable to locate any precise pages (possibly p. 72) on the battalion but was able to infer that the book is split up into years and battalions, with the implication there could be some detail that could help flesh out the article.

  • The Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry Chronicle: The Record of the ... Battalions in the Second German War, Volume 2; James Edmund Henderson Neville; Gale and Polden, 1950 - World War, 1939-1945

While the Ox and Bucks were not part of the division, p.127 makes it very clear that one of their battalions aided the training of the new recruits of the Devon and Cornwall division. There is not enough info on snippet view to gain complete context, or find out exactly what the battalion was doing to help the division. Additional mentions, in the same state, are located on at least pp. 137 and 175, with snippet view hinting at another possible page that it does not show. Again, any access to this would help to create a more clear and detailed account of the division.

Very kind regards, EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 00:34, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

UK Parliamentary Papers 1903

I am looking for the text, please, of a civil list award to Worthington George Smith within the 1903 UK House of Commons Parliamentary Papers (subscription required) volume XXXVI p.137.

I am trying to pin the award date down because ...

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

--Senra (talk) 02:02, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Senra, while I don't have access to the Parliamentary Papers, I note that there is no inconsistency between your two sources. The July 1903 announcement of the civil list was for pensions granted during the year ended March 31, 1903, which obviously would include most of 1902. See, e.g., Leeds and Yorkshire Mercury, July 10, 1903, p. 8 (British Newspaper Archive). John M Baker (talk) 23:25, 14 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
John M Baker: Thank you for the insight but I would still like to see the text of the Parliamentary Papers, if possible, to see if there is anything I missed. Senra (talk) 19:20, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
