Please send this 1926 New York Times article to neroute2 at gmail.com. Thank you very much. --NE2 23:07, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

I would also like [1] (1978) for List of New York City Subway transfers. --NE2 19:30, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of bus routes in Manhattan

Can someone with access to 1960 New York Times articles get me One-Way Bus Schedules Given For Lexington and 3d Avenues, July 12, 1960, page 37, or at least the information about how the routes were changed? The article is not in the Google News database. Thank you. --NE2 08:51, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I can perhaps get it for you on Monday if you don't mind waiting. --Gwern (contribs) 17:19 1 April 2007 (GMT)
That would be great! No, I don't mind waiting. Sometimes I wait a week or two for interlibrary loan; I'm a patient guy. --NE2 19:36, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
I forgot to give my email address - neroute2 on gmail. --NE2 22:13, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Polaron got there first; thanks very much to all who were willing to help. --NE2 00:14, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Alexander von Muralt

Does anyone have access to JSTOR? I would like to get “Alexander Ludwig von Muralt (August 19, 1903-May 28, 1990)”, John T. Edsall, Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society, Vol. 135, No. 4 (Dec., 1991), pp. 614-621 - Nunh-huh 20:28, 10 February 2007 (UTC) ("e-mail this user" available at my talk page.)

yup, done, though I need you to send me your actual email for attachment purposes. I sent you a note. -- phoebe (brassratgirl) /(talk) 21:51, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Constance Holme

I would like to improve the article on the author Constance Holme (as well as just increasing my own knowledge about her). I am aware of this and this article - either of those, or anything else you can find, would be hugely appreciated. She died July 1955 - any newspaper obituaries, perhaps? Contact me via "Email this user" and I will send an email address you can use for attachments. Thanks in advance. --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 12:02, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

I can't imagine there's a text search this far back, but on the off-chance, there should be an editorial comment about her in the Saturday Review, 22 January 1938, followed by some responses in the letters column on 19 February 1938. --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 12:09, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I don't have access to either of the two articles you linked to, but I did find some other articles and some biographies. (You could probably request those other two articles through your local library's interlibrary loan service). I'm sending you an email. phoebe 19:03, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Heavy Fog In Channel: Continent Cut Off!

Is it possible someone from here could verify that on the 22nd October 1957 The Times had a headline on the front page:

"Heavy Fog In Channel Continent Cut Off!" Just let me know on my talk page or here, ta. Hiding talk 13:49, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Times archives don't go back that far. I tried newer databases to no avail. Lotsofissues 14:13, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
This is an old chestnut that can be traced at least to 1932, but it's doubtful whether there ever actually was such a headline. Raveriz 15:37, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
Times article by William E. Schmidt, dated May 7, 1994 includes this text: "In some ways, such attitudes underscore Britain's "splendid isolation" as an island nation, a state of mind reflected in the 1930's headline from London's Daily Mirror: 'Fog in Channel -- Continent Cut Off.'"Stagehand 12:45, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Must be quite a trick, being able to trace a 1957 headline back to 1932! Are you sure it doesn't go back to Nostradamus? Gene Nygaard 01:07, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
Are you sure you don't need to adjust the screws on your head if you have problems comprehending the simplest things? Draagyn 01:20, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
Are you sure you've review our personal attack and civility policies? --maru (talk) contribs 05:05, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vigenère_cipher#History

  • What luck. I was going to ask for a reference at WP:RD and happened to find my way here. I'm looking for a reference (author name, month, edition etc.) and perhaps an extended quote for Vigenère_cipher#History. What I know is that the quote about the cipher says it's "impossible of translation" and it was printed in 1917 in Scientific American. I'm not sure a searchable database exists for SA that far back though <sadly I don't think SA is in any of the databses listed above, but it's worth a shot>... I used to have access to a University library (actually I had two such accounts) where they had hard copies of nearly every SA, but both of my accounts are now disabled (*cries*) Broken S 17:46, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
    • Working on it, but there's hardly any full-text searching that far back. Got any idea of authors, titles, etc? Brassratgirl 03:37, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
      • It looks like you have bad luck -- there actually is full text online of historical SA... until 1908. Then it stops. I'll check the print indexes for you later this week though, see if I can dig anything up.
        • Okay, Thanks for trying. I wouldn't put out too much effort though, it's not vital, just useful (it's on the articles to-do list, which is why I asked). I don't know the author or anything (that's part of what I want to know). Sorry. Broken S 13:24, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
          • I have a book saying something about the Vigenère cipher, actually it's a whole chapter, so contact me on my Talk page if you're interested --Dvyjones 22:08, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
  • From the footnotes in David Kahn's The Codebreakers, the full reference is: "A New Cipher Code", Scientific American Supplement, LXXXIII (January 27, 1917), 61, taken from the Proceedings of the Engineer's Club of Philadelphia. — Matt Crypto 12:22, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Leopold Lorraine"

Searching for 1958 obituary or other info to expand this entry from Imperial_Crypt_Vaults#Within_the_southwest_pier:

91 (Urn containing the cremated remains of) Archduke Leopold Maria Alphons Blanka Karl Anton Beatrix Michael Joseph Peter Ignatz (Agram 30 January 1897 - Mansfield, Connecticut 14 March 1958) →Family Tree Second son of Archduke Leopold Salvator.132 Naturalized in the USA as Leopold Lorraine in 1953. Died at 61. Married morganatically.

Not anxious to post my e-mail address here, may I suggest that on my User Page you can send me an e-mail via the "E-mail this user" tool, to which I will reply with the e-mail address to which results should be sent.--StanZegel (talk) 04:11, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

Give us some hints! or some context, anyway. Do you know where this person died, for instance? Brassratgirl 07:27, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
There's an article in the New York Times, March 15, 1958, "Leopold Habsburg Lorraine Dead at 61; Austrian Archduke Became U.S. Citizen". It says he died in Willimantic, Connecticut. Qero 11:02, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
The quote I gave above shows that he died on 14 March 1958 in Mansfield, CT. Now Qero has found something substantiating that with a variant place of death, which is understandable. Good! I think that would be an article that contains useful information. --StanZegel (talk) 15:38, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
Sorry, didn't see the Mansfield, CT reference the first time :) Brassratgirl 05:07, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
No problem. If you'll send me an e-mail, per above, I'll reply with the address to which the article should be sent. --StanZegel (talk) 18:38, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Journal of Popular culture

Abbott, Laurence L. Comic Art: Characteristics And Potentialities Of A Narrative Medium, JPC 19:4 (Spring 1986). could you email to block.stephen@gmail.com if you can get it please? Hiding talk 15:52, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

Our library has JPC full-text only from 1990 onwards, sorry. AxelBoldt 04:22, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
Okay. Do you happen to have access to the International Journal of Comic Art? Hiding talk 10:22, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
Our library doesn't, maybe the others can help. AxelBoldt 16:59, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
I sent you the JPC article; I don't have access to the International Journal of Comic Art either. Brassratgirl 22:04, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
Brilliant, ta. Hiding talk 22:14, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

I have access to IJOCA. I'll trade anything you want from it for the JPC article

[edit] Igala

On Branniac they have an article. Its the first one if you type Igala into the search box. (The little blurb they let you read to torture you had information not in the article!) Please send to Banana04131@aol.com. Thankyou so very much! This project is going to be very useful if people use it! Banana04131 02:10, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

What is Branniac? In which journal did your Igala article appear? AxelBoldt 04:19, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
I sent the Britannica article to you -- if that is what you meant. Lotsofissues 04:35, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
lol thanks Banana04131 16:39, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
Everytime I put the url in the address bar and try to read the article, I get a message saying they were unable to authenticate my access and ask me to log in again. Am I doing anything wrong? Banana04131 16:47, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
I suspect then Britannica added an extra layer of protection to keep unsubscribed eyes from taking a free lunch.  :-( Lotsofissues 11:07, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
The email from Britannica contains a link that requires an account, but it also has the article itself attached as an HTML file. Your email program should be able to save the attachment and then you can read it with a web browser. AxelBoldt 16:59, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sultana (steamboat)

Can someone help with a literature search, to get some authoritative refs for article Sultana (steamboat). I am suspicious that the fatalities stated as 1,700 are exaggerated newspaper accounts of the day. TIA. mervyn 11:31, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

  • "LAFAYETTE GITHENS" New York Times, Jan 23, 1933. p. 13. Short note that reports on the death of the last survivor of the disaster. The article states that the ship carried 1700 people of which more than 1450 died.
  • "Heavy Loss Aboard Bennington Not the Navy's Worst Disaster", New York Times May 27, 1954. p. 16. Also mentions 1450 dead; doesn't mention total number of passengers.
  • "Civil War Hull Is Reported Found", New York Times Jul 7, 1982. Reports on the finding of the ship's wreck (which definitely should be mentioned in our article). The numbers given: 2200 people on board, over 1500 died.

These are the only mentionings of the Sultana disaster that I can find in the New York Times since 1930. I can email them to you. AxelBoldt 17:46, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Yes, please email to me. A follow up question for those in libraries is, are there any recent scholarly articles on the incident? Thanks, mervyn 13:45, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
I need your email address. AxelBoldt 18:20, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
Ok, the three articles above are "in the mail". I also found 'A Tremendous Tumult and Uproar' by GE Salecker, America's Civil War; May2002, Vol. 15 Issue 2. This looks pretty good, though it's probably not exactly peer-reviewd quality. It's all about the Sultana. I sent it to you as well. The documents should be attached to the emails. AxelBoldt 16:16, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
And a bit more for you: there's a book "Disaster on the Mississippi", also by Salecker, that you should be able to get via inter-library loan. Plus here's a National Geographic news article. Cheers, AxelBoldt 16:27, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia cited in the courts

Can anyone who has access to Lexus Nexis or some legal database please look up the cases specified at: http://www.internetcases.com/archives/2005/12/wikipedia_and_t_1.html If you send me the details, I'd like to add them to Wikipedia:Wikipedia as a court source. My email is on my user page. Thanks! Samw 01:16, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

I emailed all of them to you today. AxelBoldt 20:32, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
Many thanks, I've added them to Wikipedia:Wikipedia as a court source. However, can you also look for English Mountain Spring Water Co. v. Chumley, 2005 WL 2756072 (Tenn.Ct.App., October 25, 2005).? This case comments negatively on Wikipedia. Thanks! Samw 03:56, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
It's in the mail. This decision is almost as exciting as some of the discussions around here: "Is water a beverage?" AxelBoldt 20:52, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
Thanks, I've added it to Wikipedia:Wikipedia as a court source. Yes, it's pretty dry, but it's nice to see the courts debating the mertis of Wikipeida. Thanks for sending the info.
FYI, for everyone, I've archived the Lexis Nexis results in my gmail accound to if anyone wants to see the original, they can contact me as well. Samw 22:01, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
It´s PD, so you can post it. --Lotsofissues 17:47, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
Be careful: the decisions are PD but any headnotes provided by Lexis or Westlaw are not. Both services are rather protective of their copyrights over headnotes. --Coolcaesar 05:21, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rudolf Rocker and related articles

I was wondering if someone could help me with the work I'm doing on Rudolf Rocker. Getting access to any or preferably all of the following sources would help me a lot:

  • "Rudolf Rocker at Eighty". By Joseph Leftwich. The Jewish Quarterly, Summer, 1953, Vol. 1, No. 2, London, pages 53-63. This might be really tough to find. The ISSN of the Jewish Quarterly is 0449-010X, please note this is not the Jewish Quarterly Review.

I think I can find some of those. I'll be working on it. But for the New York Times article, you should contact the people who have listed the NYT archives in the Shared Resources section. That will speed things up. Key to the city 13:32, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
I have send seven of the requested articles. I'll mark them in the list. There are still some remaining though. Key to the city 17:56, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tricky one

Not quite sure if this is doable, but on Eddie Campbell's blog [2] he references an article from The Guardian by Waldemar Januszczak from 1984 which contains the following text: "... since the neurotics appropriated the comic strip we have seen the perfect marriage of form and content... They have subverted its innocence , and filled its thought bubbles with their wretched, guilt-sodden soliloquies." Is that small info enough to work from? I've asked Campbell for a date but figured I'd get the ball rolling. Hiding Talk 19:11, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't have full-text access to the Guardian from that far back, sorry. -- phoebe 00:17, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
Darn. My own access only goes back to 92, too. I'll have to track down fiche copies I guess, see if I can better source the date. Thanks anyway. Hiding Talk 01:05, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
Okay, good old Mr Campbell gives me the date as July 24 1984, page 9 if that is any help to anyone else in tracking this down. Thanks in advance. Hiding Talk 01:43, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
Found it. I'll e-mail it to you. Gzkn 09:09, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Paul Kirk

I asked about this on the science reference desk, but received no reply. Is there a page similar to this for books instead of newspapers and magazines? I've found there's an entry for Paul L. Kirk in volume 56 of the "National Cyclopedia of American Biography", but unfortunately my local academic library doesn't cary it and since it's a reference work, I can't have it brought in from another library. Can someone who has access send me a copy of the text and the info I need to properly cite the book? I would also like to see if there's a obituary carrying more information about this man. - Mgm|(talk) 11:15, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

If you could provide the page numbers for vol56, I might be able to put in a research ILL request. --Gwern (contribs) 16:31 29 March 2007 (GMT)

I found two minor articles in a database. I've e-mailed them, hope you can do something with them. Key to the city 12:06, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Since google solved some of the request and I did a search in most of the economical and news databases, I'm going to consider this request as filled. You can put it back up if you're not completely satisfied. Key to the city 09:45, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A name to redirect to Virginia Tech massacre

Someone with a New York Times article subscription, please look at http://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/17/us/20070417_SHOOTING_GRAPHIC.html

I want to find the name of a girl who escaped Liviu Librescu's class in Norris 204. I think she described herself as the third to leave.

I'd be very grateful! Many thanks. Verisimilus T 17:55, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Evgeny Pashukanis

I would like to expand the article on Pashukanis and it would be a great help if someone could send me the article "The Rise and Fall of a Soviet Jurist: Evgeny Pashukanis and Stalinism" by Michael Head in the Canadian Journal of Law and Jurisprudence, Vol. 17, No. 2, pp. 269-94, July 2004. Thanks--Carabinieri (talk) 23:54, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

It would be even better, if someone could also help me get this article in "Crime, Law and Social Change" and this one in "Social Text".--Carabinieri (talk) 00:29, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
Ok; so the first one The Rise and Fall... I didn't go after. But I did find the one in Social Text, I can mail it to you, if you mail me your e-mail address (sorry, I don't keep the Resource Exchange addresses I've send to before), and for the other one I've placed a ILL request. I'll probably have that last one in a couple of days. Key (talk) 11:23, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
For the record: the Social Text article has been e-mailed. Key (talk) 16:16, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
Second article, in Crime, Law and Social Change, has also been e-mailed. I guess the request is filled. Key (talk) 16:34, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your help.--Carabinieri (talk) 20:23, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Backmasking

Doing some research for backmasking. This JSTOR article will be helpful: 'More Popular Than Jesus': The Beatles and the Religious Far Right. Also, either of the following articles cited here:

  1. McIver, T. (1988). Backward masking, and other backward thoughts about music. Sceptical Inquirer, 13, 50-63.
  2. Walker, M.W. (1985). Backward messages in commercially available recordings. Journal of Popular Music and Society, 10, 2-13.

Any other articles on backmasking (a.k.a. "backward masking") not already used in Backmasking are welcome. Contact me with Special:Emailuser/Audacity. Λυδαcιτγ 20:16, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Replied regarding first request. –Outriggr § 23:41, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Sent a copy of the Walker article.--droptone (talk) 16:44, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] James Wesley Rawles in NEXIS

Hello, to verify a biography, we are looking for anyone with back issues of Defense Electronics msgazine or Defense Computing magazine from 1988 through 1990. The magazines were archived by the NEXIS database. The author's byline was "James W. Rawles". Do any wiki reserachers have access to back issues of these magazines, either electronically, or in hard copy? We need to verify that James W. Rawles was listed on the magazine mastheads as "Associate Editor" in this time period. Also, can anyone confirm if he concurrently was listed as the managing editor of The C3I Handbook (3rd Edition) and The International Countermeasures Handbook (13th or 14th Edition). These magazines and handbooks were published by EW Communications, and later by Cardiff Publishing. Many Thanks for your assistance. Trasel (talk) 13:26, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Photocopies of the magazine and handbook mastheads were mailed to me by the author. So this request has been overcome by events (OBE), and is now CLOSED. Thanks! Trasel (talk) 19:46, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Boltzmann's constant and temperature

Can someone find me a copy of this ref;

  • John Harris, "Temperature - its meaning and measurement", Physics Education, pp204-206, vol 4, 1969.

Or any other paper that might be relevant to the discussion going on at Talk:Boltzmann constant#k not fundamental? SpinningSpark 19:18, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

You can find a copy here. Let me know when you're done with it so I can take the copy down.--droptone (talk) 12:28, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Historical and pedagogical aspects of a humble instrument

We're debating whether a siphon works in a vacuum. This article seems to talk about that: http://www.iop.org/EJ/abstract/0143-0807/29/3/003

Can someone get me a copy or quote from the article in the siphon article? Thanks. 03:53, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

I could send you the PDF if you email me (can't copy attachments in Wiki-email). Although you don't even seem to have your email enabled. Someguy1221 (talk) 10:51, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
Oops, didn't know Wikipedia added that feature. I've enabled. My email is also on my user page. Thanks so much! Samw (talk) 13:58, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
I've sent the paper. Very interesting; from my skim of the paper, it doesn't draw any firm conclusion on the matter in question, but seeks to demonstrate that profound scientific confusion, if not disagreement, has persisted since the 19th century over the answer to the question.

[edit] Paper from Bell Tech Journal 1923

Otto Zobel, "Theory and Design of Uniform and Composite Electric Wave Filters", The Bell System Technical Journal, vol 2, pp1-46, January 1923.

I have extracts of this which I have used in articles but I now need the full text for a new article. If anyone can help I would be grateful. SpinningSpark 22:30, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

The library I have access to has that journal but the early volumes are in storage. So I'll give this request a day or two to see if someone can come up with a copy easily then I'll request it from storage.--droptone (talk) 12:56, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks, you're a star. No hurry, as it says somewhere in the guidelines, there is no completion date for Wikipedia. SpinningSpark 20:43, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
I have some bad news. The kind folks at the library have informed me that they are unable to find the volume that I requested (vol 2). I believe they will continue to look for it but I suspect the chances of them finding it are small. So I suppose this request is still open.--droptone (talk) 13:12, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
Also be aware I will put in a request to get it from one of the other local universities, so I may get it just yet.--droptone (talk) 13:33, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
Here is a copy of the paper. As usual let me know when you're done with it so I can delete it.--droptone (talk) 18:59, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Got it, thanks for all your help. SpinningSpark 16:18, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
