I tried to find it in ProQuest and EBSCO but failed. I'm not sure if there's another option other than having a subscription (or free trial, which is offered). –Anon423 (talk)16:37, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Merging all my outstanding requests on this book here:
"González-Ferrán, O. "Volcanes de Chile. Instituto Geográfico Militar." Santiago 635 (1995)."? I need the chapters aboutNevados de Quimsachata andGuallatiri.
"González-Ferrán, O. Volcanes de Chile; Instituto Geográfico Militar: Santiago, Chile, 1995; p. 640." aboutPurico complex
I'm sure that contacting the IGMhere would give you positive results. Since they are works by the State of Chile, they should give them out. --Bedivere (talk)23:32, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I've received a partial response from the Army today, pending the final communication from the Instituto Geográfico Militar. General Ernesto Tejos Méndez wrote a two-page letter saying: "the requested information is in the hands of the Instituto Geográfico Militar, an Army-dependant institution which, in virtue of Art. No. 5 of Law No. 15.284, and the 11.° and 14.° articles of the aforementioned law, [can] charge for the works and studies they execute [...]". Additionally, Gral. Tejos says "the Institute is legally authorized to charge for the access to maps and their services, and is the only institution that could handle over that information". They also claim they cannot be requested through a Ley de Transparencia (equivalent to US FOIA) request "products that are legitimately up for sale, permitting [people] to elude paying for these works, just as [it is prohibited] to reproduce them, as they are protected by their respective intellectual property inscriptions". Although the IGM is expected to give their final response by 30 November, they may be contacted by email or by phone. Since these emails are public, I'm adding them here: asesoriatecnica [at] igm.cl or ventas [at] igm.cl. --Bedivere (talk)01:45, 5 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
{{resolved}}I tracked down an old newspaper article I wanted to cite inDuriavenator, but I don't have access to britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/ where it can be found, and I don't know the page number.
The article is from 15 June 1882, and called: Report of a Meeting of the Dorset Natural History and Antiquarian Field Club
Extraordinary Writ Thanks, but that link does not actually allow me to log in - it does not contain the "input boxes" for me to enter my username and password. I find the WP Library particularly obtuse and difficult to use. For sources that have "index codes" (is there a proper collective name for such codes?) such as JSTOR, DOI, etc it should have a dead simple "enter the code here" box, click and done. However it gives me no hints at all how to do such a simple search.Roger (Dodger67) (talk)23:11, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Dodger67, doesn't the link I gave you have a button that says "Login via Wikipedia"? That should let you enter your username/password and proceed. (I certainly agree that the Library, like most products of the WMF, is quite a pain.) If that doesn't work, just send me anemail and I'll attach the PDF the old-fashioned way.Extraordinary Writ (talk)23:21, 24 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
ProQuest has failed me, seemingly, as it doesn't actually have the text of the review on there. I've run out of options for things I know on how to get the full text of this book review, so I guess it's down to someone who actually has a subscription. Feel free to use "Email this user" if you have a copy of it. Thanks,SilverserenC06:17, 27 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Please, anyone who can gain full access to Brepols Online, I need the articleExplaining the Christianization of the Roman Empire. Older theories and recent developments

Greetings. I need the Chapter two of the bookSafavid Persia in the Age of Empires, "The Qazvin Period and the Idea of the Safavids"sadly i don't know which pages the chapter is.
This is forThe Hidden Case of Ewan Forbes. You can also see this review listed on the main page for the current issue on the bottom right under "In the latest issue - Books". Seehere. No idea how you actually access them though. Clearly some articles are available online on the website there, but not the rest. Is it only a print thing?
Uh...unresolved, apparently. It seems the website did not like me going back and forth between the two pages the review is split across and has now locked me out of access. Could I get that email copy,@DanCherek:?SilverserenC06:03, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The Greenwood Encyclopedia of Science Fiction and Fantasy (Volume 1, pages 404-406+ - entry on Hyperspace?
ForHyperspace. GBooks gave some only 1st page for the entry (404), then I got page (405) from a different computer but couldn't access 404... and then page 407 is about something else. If someone could send me scans of 404-406 I'd appreciate it.
{{stale}}I'm looking for an article from 1865 in theNew York World. the secondary source I have a picture of gives some clues to the article: A reporter visited thePompey stone at the Albany Institute of History and Art with a "Dr. O'Callaghan" (presumablyEdmund Bailey O'Callagha),Henry C. Murphy, and a James Hall. It includes the quote "It was found very carefully put away in a glass case and covered with a dust that indicated that for some years, at least, its quiet had not been disturbed." and "It must be remembered that this stone was found when there was no pecuniary inducement for the forging of such relics." That's all I know, I no longer have the secondary source. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I just checked. Sadly, this time period seems to be out of the newspapers.com, ProQuest, or Gale's coverage, both from Wikipedia's and the New York Public Library's collection. I can check in-person at the NYPL on Tuesday though. –Epicgenius (talk)19:39, 11 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I was hoping someone would have access to some sort of searchable database that I don't. Regardless, I visited a historical society and found a partial reprinting in a syracuse newspaper, which is pretty close to what I was looking for.Eddie891TalkWork13:44, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The first book seems to be hard to find, I haven't found any OCLC of it and it isn't in Google Books, so it might not be possible to access it.
I would like to have full access to these books and see what I can take from them to add to articles related to theIstro-Romanians. They were the first two books in the Istro-Romanian language, so they are (or should be) valuable. Many thanks in advance.SuperΨDro16:25, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I have access to the second but I'm not going to scan the entire book. The notice at the top of this page also specifically states that "We cannot perform full book copy requests due to copyright". Therefore I'm not sure how this request is supposed to be fulfilled. — Pajz (talk)07:30, 5 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Would it be possible for me to get one third of the book out of this request and ask for the other two thirds later in the future? If not, what is the limit that I can ask for here? Half of the book, a third, or less?SuperΨDro08:24, 7 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Super Dromaeosaurus, sorry for the late response, I missed your reply. Well, that's impossible to say, since it is based on legal and practical consideration, which both are different for different individuals. The only more or less common ground is that scans of full works are typically not possible. A third of the volume would be fine with me, just let me know which part you would be interested in (the first 63 pages?). Someone else may be able to help with other parts in the future (or now). — Pajz (talk)18:47, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Pajz, yes, I'd be more than happy with the first 63 pages. Sorry for first having requested a full scan. Would it be possible for me to make a request to get another other third of the book in the next few months? (in 3-6 months, or more if necessary, I can wait)?
TrangaBellam, the book is from before the 1920s and the author died more than 70 years ago. Are there copyright problems with requesting the whole of the first book? If so, I'd have enough with the first 30 or 40 pages of the book. It is shorter than the second book but I don't know if that allows me to order half of it or if only a third is acceptable in this case as well.SuperΨDro19:46, 13 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
TrangaBellam, yes, I am aware that there are parts of the book in Wikisource, but it is incomplete. I can wait as much time as needed, so I have no problem with it in case you scan it.SuperΨDro19:35, 20 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Super Dromaeosaurus, sent #2, up to and including p 57. Unfortunately, I couldn't scan pp 58-63 at this point since many of the pages beyond 58 areunopened to such an extent that I was unable to separate them myself without damaging the book (apparently I'm the first person since 1928 to reach page 58...). I will have to check back with library staff, not sure how long this will take. — Pajz (talk)18:57, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Pajz, sorry for pinging again. I had a problem with my Wikipedia gmail and I can't access it. I've replaced it with another one that won't give any issues. Can you send it again?SuperΨDro19:17, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Doing... #3 & #4 (probably on Tuesday). The others are not as easy for me to access (different library; mandatory pre-registration and limited access due to Covid; etc), so hopefully someone else is in a better position to help with those, but if not, you can give me a ping. Oh, and I don't have access to #5. Seems like quite a challenge. There used to be someone here who occasionally visits the British Library, so perhaps they could help, although it seems somewhat dubious if anyone would even be allowed to reproduce a 20-page volume from 1876 by themselves (I wouldn't where I live). Maybe through ILL (as photocopies). — Pajz (talk)07:08, 5 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

ForPokemon (video game series), according to a user on the talk page the number it provides for the number of sales is innacurate and apparently comes from an estimate from VGChartz which also partnered with Guinness.

For3dfx Interactive, I would like access to this source and see whether I can find any information about 3dfx's role in the development of the SLI that I would not find elsewhere.
I checked that archive hours ago, and I realized that it is the same archive that I created moments before. Looking at both links, as well as reading the same article with and without the paywall, I would assume, too, that it is the full article. I saw no indication that what I saw in the full version would not in fact have been the full version. It does not look as if I would find much useful here anyway, so on both these grounds, I say that this request is technically already done.
Greetings! ForAmhara people, and potentially dozens of related articles. I need the chapter ‘‘the Imperial House of Ethiopia’’, i believe it starts on page 38 (not 100% sure), don't know how many pages there are.
I am trying to verify that Ernest 'Eric' Down was the commanding officer of the British 4th Infantry Division. Several online websites, which do not meet WP:RS, state that he took up this position in 1946. During the immediate post-war years, the Gazette does not list these appointments.This edition stated Down was granted the rank of Major-General on 26 September 1946, which is more than likely the date he took up the appointment. Yet, it does not state if he replaced anyone (Colin Callander) or if he was appointment to a role. I know in 1947 he took over all British forces based in Greece, but that does not verify his command post with the 4th Division (also based in Greece at the time). The appointments in this period are usually mentioned inArmy Notes, but I have searched all relevant 1946 editions via Taylor & Francis and have come up short. I have read online that his obituary may state that he commanded the division. That matched with the Gazette date, I believe, would suffice to update the above-mentioned articles (the list, once completed, will be nominated as a FLC). Can anyone access his obituary, to see what it states?
Thank you so much, I had no idea about that. I just pulled his obituary, and the info I need to carry on the list is right there! Kudos Bruce1ee,EnigmaMcmxc (talk)18:18, 8 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
