Fixing references and common medical problems!
Warning: for legal reasons, we must note that the Resource Exchange cannot fix any medical problems. But it can fix references.

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
  • Check whether your alma mater's library offers electronic document delivery services for alumni—many do, for a small fee

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
  • All kinds of sources are possible here: newspapers, magazine article, databases, encyclopedias, court decisions, laws, books, etc.
  • We cannot perform full book scans requests due to copyright
  • 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[edit]

  • 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.

Article in the North Mississippi Times[edit]

Hello. In order to expand Robertson-Yates House, could someone please send me:

  • "Yates Recalls History," North Mississippi Times, March 29, 1979.

Please ping me when you have it. Thank you.Zigzig20s (talk) 13:03, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

The LOC lists two libraries which hold archives of the newspaper [2], and worldcat also lists two others (OCLC 17576944), all in Mississippi. The paper was apparently renamed multiple times and only called the 'North Mississippi Times' between 1976 and 1981, so other archived copies might be filed under one of the other names. The publisher and editor, Pam Mcphail Ivy, also compiled a book, 'Our Heritage', which might contain the article you want or otherwise be helpful. Here's a listing for it in the University of Mississippi library, with incorrect oclc: [3]. The Genealogical Society of Desoto County Mississippi will sell you a photocopy for $35: [4]. Cheers, gnu57 23:30, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

Harvard (offsite) is the only WorldCat library that holds this. @Zigzig20s: If no volunteer has access to it at Harvard, it's available on eBay for $3.95 + S&H. --Worldbruce (talk) 19:31, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Article in Hard Gainer (1992)[edit]

Hello. In order to improve Peary Rader, could someone please send me:

  • Strossen, Randall J., "Peary Rader (1909-1991)", Hardgainer, March, 1992. Issue 17. ISSN 1019-519X

Please ping me when you have it. Thank you.Zigzig20s (talk) 21:28, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

@Zigzig20s: Title may be "Tribute To Peary Rader". No WorldCat library holds that issue, so it's extremely unlikely that any of us will be able to fill your request. The issue can be ordered from the publisher here. There may be a minimum dollar order. If you don't want to keep the order after your research is done, there's a secondary market on eBay, or you could donate to Harvard to make their sparse collection more complete. --Worldbruce (talk) 19:19, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Article in Muscle Builder (1955)[edit]

Hello. In order to improve George F. Jowett, could someone please send me:

Please ping me when you have it. Thank you.Zigzig20s (talk) 19:14, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

@Zigzig20s: I'm not sure what the "5" in your citation stands for (page number?). Notre Dame special collections implies that the April 1955 issue would be volume 4 issue 3. They don't have it, nor does any other WorldCat library. Unless a volunteer here happens to have a garage full of 1950s body building magazines, I don't think there's any hope of the resource exchange supplying this. --Worldbruce (talk) 18:34, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Confirmation on unconfirmed episode of Chronicle (UK TV programme)[edit]

Am trying to fill episode gaps on Chronicle (UK TV programme). Can anyone confirm if the 21 June 1969 program "The Gilstone Treasure" was a Chronicle episode, or if not (ideally) identify which is the unidentified episode between #3 and #99. Possibilities for verification:

  • the actual episode. The BBC website doesn't appear to be any help, but https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/ has either the programme or B-roll footage (the latter is probably not useful).
  • the Radio Times for June 19, 1969. Vol 183. number 2380 — in case the OCRed listing has omitted something or if there happened to be a feature story.
  • a (p)review of the episode in another TV guide/newspaper.

Thanks, ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 09:50, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi Hydronium Hydroxide. From the Google Books snippet view it looks like the Radio Times just had the article title. Luckily someone has posted some images of this issue of the Radio Times on Twitter. The second image shows it as a "pick of the week" and describes it as a "notable repeat", so perhaps not the thing you are looking for? If someone has a newspapers.com subscription, the same programme seems to have been broadcast in Australia on September 19, 1971; see this guide in the Sydney Morning Herald again doesn't seem to be more than a line of text there though - Dumelow (talk) 23:36, 10 January 2019 (UTC)
@Hydronium Hydroxide: i got access to the newpapers.com article. At 3.40 it says The Gilstone Treasure - Sicily Isles It ran from 3.40 to 4.30. I don't think it's what you're looking for as there's no mention of Chronicle. But: on 21 June 1969 page 2 of The Guardian, The Gilstone Treasure is mentioned but no mention of the Chronicle. It says 9 5 The Gilstone Treasure: underwater adventure (C). I've a feeling there is no episode from that date as there is a mention of Chronicle on may 24th and july 19th, nothing in between. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 00:31, 11 January 2019 (UTC)
@Dumelow and MrLinkinPark333: Thanks both. I missed that the June one was a repeat of a 9 Jan 69 programme of the same name also with no indications it's part of the Chronicle series (although Chronicle covered the subject in an earlier segment). I've struck most of the question as answered, and the broader question looks unlikely to be easily answered without something like a BBC production schedule or similar, so may well end up archived without further leads. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 05:35, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

Article in Strength magazine (1930)[edit]

Somerset county cricket, by FS Ashley-Cooper[edit]

And if they are credited to someone else, then who? Thanks. DS (talk) 01:43, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

Very few Worldcat libraries seem to have this in their collections. Miyagawa, since you're listed above as visiting the British Library from time to time, do you think you might be able to help with this request? (BL holdings. It appears that one copy was destroyed in World War II, but the other one seems to be available.) Best, — Pajz (talk) 23:50, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

Russian palaeontology paper[edit]

I am unable to find the following paper from a Russian journal:

To expand the Viatkogorgon article. Apparently the journal is "discontinued".[9]

This paper seemingly from the same journal could also be helpful:[10]

Doing... (tomorrow or Monday), — Pajz (talk) 10:28, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

FunkMonk, sent. Note that the information in the request is inconsistent. There is an original Russian version of the journal (with titles in Russian) and there is an English translated version (which is the one referred to in your link). I've sent a copy from the latter. — Pajz (talk) 19:29, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

Thanks! Not sure if the second article linked[11] is important, but might be good to have, since the subject is mentioned in it (from what I could gather at Google Scholar). FunkMonk (talk) 21:50, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

And from reading the paper you sent me, it seems I also need the following paper, as that is where the taxon was named:

Nightclubbing, Nexis gives no author for #2-#4 and attributes #1 to Michael Cragg. Doesn't necessarily mean that there wasn't any author in the print edition for the others, but most of these are very small summaries/recommendations, so it may also be that they were part of a larger section by someone. (Nexis being a text-based database, it wouldn't show the original layout.) — Pajz (talk) 17:09, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

Monk unseating[edit]

Charles James Monk, Reminiscences of Parliamentary Life, J. Murray, 1901

I'm looking for Monk's explanation of how he was unseated from Parliament by petition in 1859. It's on page 129 according to gbooks, but there's not enough in snippet view to use.

For Charles James Monk

Thanks, SpinningSpark 18:05, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

@Spinningspark: I can access the full text through Google Books here. Page 129 doesn't discuss Monk being unseated from Parliament by petition in 1859 (it's about a petition in 1880 against the return of Robinson and Monk. The election inquiry unseated Robinson when he didn't defend his seat, but no evidence was presented against Monk, so he was duly elected). Page 3 may better suit your purpose, but ...
Can you make a convincing argument that this book is in the public domain where you live? If so, on your Google Books snippet view click "Where's the rest of this book?", expand "You can't see the full book", and click "ask us to review it" to have Google review whether they can make the full view available, explaining on the next page why you believe it's now in the public domain where you are. The process may take a few weeks, but may have longer-term benefits and be more efficient than having someone unfamiliar with the topic domain and language of the time try to find what you want. --Worldbruce (talk) 20:33, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
Monk died in 1900, so life of author plus 70 years should mean that it went out of copyright in 1971. I'll make the request and let you know what Google say. SpinningSpark 21:09, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

Review of Sexual Desire (book)[edit]

The Spectator 3rd December 1988[edit]

For The Greenhouse (novel)

Thanks, GrahamHardy (talk) 22:49, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

Here's a link to the review itself, with a bit more of it visible in the non-subscriber preview: [20]. Cheers, gnu57 23:13, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
The article seems not to be a full review, but merely Anthony Blond's entry in the Spectator's 'Books of the Year' feature, alongside the recommendations of other public intellectuals and literati. The full sentence about The Greenhouse is:

I much enjoyed Susan Hillmore's novella The Greenhouse (Collins/Harvill, £9.95) for its well-bedded flowery prose but I liked an equally properly written first novel, (which I also published), Marks of Weakness by Geraldine Jones (Anthony Blond/Quartet, £11.95) which only got one (good) review, from Isobel Quigly, who didn't like our jacket.

Blond goes on to say more about the Jones book and another by A. J. Ayer, but I doubt that the full text would be relevant to you. Cheers, gnu57 23:27, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for your help GrahamHardy (talk) 07:40, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
I would like to request these additional sources to improve the article (The links here are mentions of reviews, not the reviews themselves):
  • The Independent: Praised the book as one of the "best books of 2000".
  • The Independent review (may be the same): quote: "Hillmore's writing is dense and dappled with colour and light--a novel of strange power."[21]
  • The Literary Review review: quote: "...Moving and poetic...The Greenhouse should be read for the beauty of its descriptions, its original vision, and its complete lack of vugarity, rare in a contemporary novel."[22]
  • Washington Times review: quote:"There is haunting beauty in this melancholy tale."[23]
  • A review by Geoffrey Bailey: quote: "the sad drama of a family lovingly watched over by the greenhouse"[24]

The Seattle Times archives: Newsbank[edit]

Per talk page discussions, it seems that Caroline Brady died in Bellevue Washington, on 5 November 1980. I have been unable to find anything resembling an obituary for her, perhaps hindered by the undercoverage of Washington newspapers on Newspapers.com and NewspaperArchive.com. The Seattle Public Library, however, has online access to a number of newspapers, including, with a library card, The Seattle Times (link). Does anyone have a library card, and if so, would you be willing to search through the archive to see if there is any coverage of Brady, particularly an obituary or death notice? Thanks, Usernameunique (talk) 16:07, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

Grove's Dictionary of Music / biographical details of August Frederick Ferdinand Hyllested[edit]

For a potential article on Swedish-born Danish pianist August Frederick Ferdinand Hyllested, born 1858, I'd like to find someone with access to Grove's Dictionary of Music. There was an article on him in Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians (Supplement, 1922, vol VI), when he was apparently still living. I would like to locate an article in subsequent editions of Grove's that gives a death date?

Thanks, Nunh-huh 19:19, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
