Finding a source[edit]

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 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

Note that sites like 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

2014-2016 Kerrang! article on The Used[edit]

Hello. I am looking for a Kerrang! article with an interview with either Bert McCracken or The Used about their music video for Cry on or after January 27, 2014. I've found this interview referenced here with the quote "With the 'Cry' video, we were trying to create an atmosphere stripped down to have intentions,". This source is for the creation of Cry (The Used song), which I'm currently working on in my userspace. Thanks! --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 04:35, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

Sudan's Painful Road To Peace[edit]

Hi. I'm working on a destub for Josephine Apieu Jenaro Aken and I would like to know if she appears in:

Arop Madut Arop (2006) Sudan's Painful Road To Peace: Founding and Development of SPLM/SPLA, ISBN 1-4196-1153-4.

I currently don't have access to a copy. If she is mentioned, could I request a scan of the pages that mention her? Thanks! --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 04:59, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

It looks like she probably is not mentioned. It's searchable, to some degree, at Amazon, and a search for "Aken" (and each of her other names) produces nothing. In addition, the book's index is accessible via Amazon search, and she is not listed in the index. John M Baker (talk) 19:42, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

I had a suspicion. I assume the same goes for her husband Dominic Dim Deng? --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 20:20, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

There are some references to him, under the name Dominic Diim Deng. Some but not all are accessible via Amazon. John M Baker (talk) 21:34, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

@MrLinkinPark333: Is this still needed? ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 08:34, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

@BU Rob13: If you can, that would be great. Any mention of Dominic Diim/Dim Deng or Josephine Apieu Jenaro Aken would be helpful. Thanks! --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 04:28, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

@MrLinkinPark333: Sadly, I don't have access myself, just asking to see if this can be archived. Hopefully someone else does. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 04:41, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

@BU Rob13: I see. It's not a priority. Originally it was to destub Josephine Apieu Jenaro Aken (but i destubbed her article without it). Now, it's more to confirm Dominic Dim Deng is referenced in the book or not, but not mandatory. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 04:44, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

@MrLinkinPark333: I'm trying to obtain this through ILL. Might take a bit, but hopefully some progress will be made. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 10:25, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

@BU Rob13: Thank you very much. Take your time :) --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 00:16, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

Katie talk show 5/30/2013[edit]

In one of the articles here on Wikipedia about a living person, Jacob Barnett, there is in the article and in the latest Afd for the same article listed a link for a Katie Couric talk show where she interviews the aforementioned person. In the article (as of today December 4th 2016) the link provided is this: katiecouric.com/ whereas the link in the Afd is given as this: katiecouric.com/2013/05/30/living-with-autism/

The latter link would suggest an air-date of May 30th 2013, and this seems to be confirmed by a listing of the show on www.tv.com: Katie Couric chats with 14-year-old genius The title of this specific show/segment could be: "The 14-Year-Old Living with Autism Who Could Win a Nobel Prize".

I have not been able to locate this show neither by following the links nor by searching the Katie Couric website or YouTube or Google for that matter.

Anyone capable of locating this specific show? --Oleryhlolsson (talk) 13:01, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

@Oleryhlolsson: Internet Archive might be helpful but it doesn't have the video. Archive.is has the video but it's not playable (and there's ads I don't trust) --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 21:18, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

Yes that looks a little suspicious. The chance is that it either leads to nothing or at least nothing good. Oleryhlolsson (talk) 06:29, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

@Oleryhlolsson: It's unlikely anyone here will have access to video archives; those aren't maintained by many universities or other institutions. Do you still need this? ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 08:38, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

Three paywalled articles re: King Kong[edit]

I need three paywalled/offline articles about Mr. Carmen Nigro, who controversially claimed to have played King Kong in that classic 1933 film.

Thanks in advance. Muzilon (talk) 10:10, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

@Muzilon: Sent Corpus Christi Caller Times. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 20:42, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

@Muzilon: Trying to locate the Labor one. I might have access, but I'm having some real difficulty finding which source this is. Lots of stuff called "Labor". Do you have any information about the source? ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 08:58, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

@BU Rob13: I think the Labor in question was a transport-union journal published in Washington. See Hathi Trust. Muzilon (talk) 09:22, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

@Muzilon: Currently taking a stab at this, but it will be a toss-up. The page numbers are suspect (Google Books gets it wrong sometime) and this is primarily available via microform, which is less likely to be lent on interlibrary loan. We'll see how it goes. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 02:40, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

Ignaz Kolisch: The Life and Chess Career[edit]

I am writing about a chess problemist Konrad Bayer (1828–1897) and it would be great to have his picture. There was one published in the book Ignaz Kolisch: The Life and Chess Career, page 9 (print ISBN: 978-0-7864-9690-7, ebook ISBN: 978-1-4766-1801-2), but the sign which is a part of the picture (just next to his right hand) and which is probably the name of the picture's author, is illegible, and so it cannot be decided, whether the picture is free to use. Can anyone find a copy of the book where the name of the picture's author would be legible? Thanks. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 02:13, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

@Jan.Kamenicek: The legend underneath the picture says its from Schachzeitung 1865, page 288, (volume 20) which can be found here. It's not legible either, but perhaps another copy of the original image could be more helpful. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 03:17, 24 December 2016 (UTC)

@MrLinkinPark333: Thanks very much! It seems that the author's autograph is given not only in the picture but also beneath it in the 1865 Schachzeitung publication that you have linked here, where it is clearly visible, but the handwriting is illegible :-( --Jan Kameníček (talk) 13:52, 25 December 2016 (UTC)

@Jan.Kamenicek: Why exactly do you need to know who the author is? Everything published on or before 1865 would be public domain in the United States. That's not sufficient for upload to Commons, but it is for upload to the English Wikipedia. Just upload and mark with {{PD-1923}} and {{Do not move to Commons}}. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 02:45, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

I have searched and searched and couldn't find much, so any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Looking for details about her life; i.e., was born on this day, received PhD here, etc. I have a source already providing these details but it isn't as reliable (and it might not even be a third party source). --Heather.nerd (talk) 16:13, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

@Heather.nerd: email me. I can send you six newspaper articles in German: three from Berliner Zeitung, two from Gießener Anzeiger, and one from Ostsee-Zeitung.

Images of Mrs. Moffat's Shoo-Fly Powders for Drunkenness, an early-20th century patent medicine[edit]

Requesting someone attempt to find an advertisement and/or packaging photo, if there is one, in one or more of the large newspaper resources, for the old patent medicine named "Mrs. Moffat's Shoo-Fly Powders for Drunkenness".

Depending on status, it is my hope that an ad for same might be of value to the article United States v. 11 1/4 Dozen Packages of Articles Labeled in Part Mrs. Moffat's Shoo-Fly Powders for Drunkenness . I have already consulted the patent medicine collections of the handful of museums that appear to have such collections (e.g., the Smithsonian, Brown University) and have come up empty.

Possible hits at newspapers.com, but I don't have access there. --joe decker ^talk 01:52, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Joe decker, I didn't see anything at Newspapers.com or NewspaperArchive, but if you have more information concerning the possible Newspapers.com hits, I'll check them out. John M Baker (talk) 16:51, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Nah, what I saw was more or less search hits which may have been non-image, etc. I would be curious (even though this is a bit outside the original request) to see anything from "The Akron Beacon Journal / Tuesday, February 7, 1939 - Page 19", the snippet of it which is the only search result from [5] for me might or might not be related to legal action and might have some color, but I'm sure it's not an image. Thanks for your assistance in any case! --joe decker ^talk 18:33, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Joe decker, I don't have access to that particular newspaper, but it appears to be from a Walter Winchell on Broadway column that ran that day in multiple newspapers. The relevant passage reads in full: "The real name of a Mickey Finn (in drug-stores) is "Mrs. Moffet's [sic] Shoo-Fly Powders.""

Of possibly greater interest, the L.A. Times had a story on Feb. 15, 1940, about a drugstore owner and clerk who were convicted of selling poisons without proper labels because they sold "Mrs. Moffatt's [sic] Shoo-fly Powders." If you'll email me, I'll reply with a PDF. John M Baker (talk) 18:53, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Will do, thanks! --joe decker ^talk 20:32, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Joe decker, the PDF of the LA Times article has been sent.

The powders apparently were sold to drugstores, so probably would not have been advertised to the general public. As the Walter Winchell item shows, very few people had heard of the product. In addition, note that the powders apparently were a Mickey Finn (as indicated by both the Walter Winchell item and the LA Times article) rather than a patent medicine. I don't know if there were trade publications for drugstores in the 1880 - 1940 period, but that would probably be your best bet for finding any advertisements that may exist. John M Baker (talk) 20:48, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Got it, thank you! Indeed, I'll keep looking as you suggest, it's too fun a subject to not keep pushing at. :) --joe decker ^talk 21:38, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Joe decker, I've also sent you a copy of the Winchell column, since it shows that the name of the product was little known and is further evidence that it was a Mickey Finn, not a patent medicine. Apparently the name (Mrs. Moffat's Shoo-Fly Powders for Drunkenness) was intended to convey that it was an effective way to get rid of drunks. Newspapers.com has some other references to "shoo-fly powders" that contained tartar emetic, probably a reference to this product, although they do not mention Mrs. Moffat. No wonder the seller was able to allege an absence of complaints, since the person who dispensed the Mickey Finn didn't care and the unfortunate recipient would not know the source. John M Baker (talk) 23:00, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

Joe Decker, I found one: U.S. Patent Office Trademark Application. Small and blurry, but it might put you on the path to finding a better copy. BlackcurrantTea (talk) 15:21, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, cool find! (And I still need to add the material from John as well, I've gotten caught up in things here for a few days). --joe decker ^talk 15:41, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

Need access to on-line style guide or guides[edit]

I am an assistant coordinator with the Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors. I have made over 21,000 edits (almost 22,000). Sometimes I would like to consult a style guide, but I cannot afford a year's subscription to one of the major style guides. Is there any chance of getting free access to one or more recognized style guides such as the Chicago Manual of Style [6], the Oxford University 05 House Style guide [7], or the AMA Oxford University Press Manual of Style [8] – Corinne (talk) 02:08, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

Corinne, the U.S. Government Printing Office Style Manual is available online. John M Baker (talk) 16:53, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

O.K. Thank you. – Corinne (talk) 00:18, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

I can't find it on Ebsco/Gale so it might be an online only article that requires a Times subscription to access. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 01:42, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

Not in any of the databases I have access to with Times. I believe it is online-only as MrLinkinPark333 said. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 01:55, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

Surinamese Javanese[edit]

For nl:Javaanse Surinamers and its companion article nl:Surinaams-Javaans I'm looking for the following sources:

A reference cited as "Vruggink, H. 1985. Het Surinaams Javaans: een introduktie. OSO, 1:53-62." in one of my sources.
Kofi Yakpo, The Javanese language in Suriname: Explorations in language contact and change (link tot he abstract
Sophie Villerius, Javanese in contact: the case of Surinamese Javanes — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amphicoelias (talk • contribs) 20:08, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

@Amphicoelias: The second paper appears to be a paper presented at a conference. I'm unable to find any record of it being published, at least under that title. Your best bet is probably to email the author (there's a link to do that on the abstract you linked) to ask for information about where/if this was published and a copy if it hasn't been published. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 18:03, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

Same deal for the third paper, it appears. This abstract seems to indicate it was presented at a conference but possibly not published under that title. ~ Rob₁₃^Talk 18:06, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

The text of a specific Ontario court ruling[edit]

Does anyone here have access to the full text of a 1998 Ontario court ruling named R. v. Gowan? :

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topfreedom_in_Canada#cite_note-9

If so, can you please send me the text of this entire court ruling? Basically, I am thinking of writing a Wikipedia article about this court ruling; however, to do this, I need to have the entire text of this court ruling beforehand. Futurist110 (talk) 07:17, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

It looks like Westlaw may have this, but my access to Westlaw does not extend to Canadian case law. Does anyone else have Westlaw access? Although I'm not convinced that the case would meet notability requirements. John M Baker (talk) 15:39, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
