@Eddie891: I have access to the 2007 ebook edition. What are you looking for? A search for "Convention of Alessandria" yields nothing, and the ebook page numbers don't match the printed book page numbers. —Bruce1eetalk06:48, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Eddie891: That book isCitizen Emperor: Napoleon in Power, notThe First Total War you cited above. I also have access toCitizen Emperor. Is that the book you want? —Bruce1eetalk13:41, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Bruce1ee: Sorry for the confusion. I meant thatThe First Total War (which I don't have access too) is cited in the free google books preview ofCitizen Emperor (if you go to p. 575 ofCitizen Emperor in google books,The First Total War is used to cite information about the convention) You could try searching for the "Battle of Marengo" inThe First Total War, because the convention followed immediately after.Eddie891TalkWork13:48, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
{{resolved}}Can I get ahold of these papers? Primarily, they're for artistic references to help improve reconstructions that I'm eventually going to upload for use in various prehistoric life articles, including:

@Nizil Shah: This work appears to beself-published, and there's no evidence thatJohn Wainer is an established expert on the subject matter, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable third-party publications. So even if one of us bought this for you (which isn't likely to happen anyway), you wouldn't be allowed to cite it because it is not areliable source. --Worldbruce (talk)17:27, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Worldbruce:. I understand your concern. I believed that the self-published article will have references which would help me point the original reliable source. So I posted a request. It is the summary work on all published English sources on the topic (as claimed on the website) so would be helpful to find the usable sources. I mark this request as resolved due to your concern. If my rationale seem OK, I will unresolve it. Regards,-Nizil (talk)04:55, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I am trying to accessthis source from The Daily Telegraph to see if it can be used to add an Australian convention to theList of furry conventions (which is also a part of a resolution to the Globalize tag on the list), however it is behind a paywall. Can anyone confirm if the mention of this convention in the source has a significant description for its use? Thanks! (Please ping me with replies; I am not watching this page.)Jalen D. Folf(talk)04:28, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@JalenFolf: I was able to get past the paywall via the Telegraph'stwitter page. The article does describe the convention a bit: "[t]his weekend they will converge across Sydney’s inner-city for an annual event, which will allow children as young as 12 years old to attend under adult supervision. [...] This weekend’s annual “FurJAM” event in Sydney has been promoted as an “all ages” encounter, with organisers attempting to downplay the heavily sexualised elements of the subculture, refusing to comment when quizzed by The Daily Telegraph."

Forde:Der Kreisel (Kafka). Maybe somebody has access to this via JSTOR? (I depend on a good digitisation as I have no knowledge of Hebrew, unfortunately. I could order a copy via ILL, but the quality is usually too low for OCR purposes. So if somebody has a way to get the JSTOR version or to create a decent scan, that would be greatly appreciated.)

{{resolved}}Can I get ahold of this paper, "The Crustacea of the Insect Bed (latest Eocene) of the Isle of Wight, England, including the first spinicaudatan (clam shrimp) from the British Cenozoic"[22]? The article uses one of my illustrations, and I want to see if the article has enough information for me to start some articles.
Greetings, has someone access to "S Guédron, J. Tolu, E Brisset, Pierre Sabatier, Anne-Lise Develle, et al..

I am working on the translation of the article aboutIan Fleming to the Spanish Wikipedia – progress can be seenhere – and I would need to check the translated version in Spanish in order to rewrite a quote ("Bond sighed wearily. Once more into the breach, dear friend! This time, it really was St George and the dragon. And St George had better get a move on and do something"). The problem is I do have the quote in English, but my own translation will probably not fit the one professional translators made. Thanks in advance,Rubpe1919:05, 22 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Rubpe19: I tried requesting the edition you wanted through ILL, but they sent me a different spanish translation:
Fleming, Ian (Septiembre 1964).Goldfinger. Translated by Molina, Milena. Medellin, Colombia: Albon.OCLC20209762.{{cite book}}:Check date values in:|date= (help)
I don't speak spanish, but I would guess this is the quote you want (chapter 18, page 190):
Fatigado, Bond pensó para sí: una vez más en la brecha, queridos amigos. Esta vez se trata realmente de San Jorge y el dragón. Y San Jorge tenía que darse prisa antes de que el dragón saliera adelante con su plan.
Dwergenpaartje, #3 has 425 pages, #1 another 70. You're asking for scans of entire volumes, which goes against the instructions at the top of this page ("We cannot perform full book scans"). If you need something specific, please narrow down the request accordingly. The same seems to be true for #2 (124 pages perhttp://gateway-bayern.de/BV026864581). — Pajz (talk)21:31, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, yes, I am aware of the size of these publications. I tried to buy #1 and #3 from the publishing institute, but they do not reply to mail. In the end, I will work through the entire publications, though I do not need the literature lists at the end. Working through the 288 pages of TAXONOMIC STUDIES ON LEUCOSPERMUM R. BR. by JOHN PATRICK ROURKE (which is on-line) took me half a year, but resulted in 49 new or very much extended articles. I understand it is a lot of boring work to scan many pages. I do not know what people can get their hands on, so I asked for three publications this time. One of them in monthly portions of 25 pages or so would be as much as I can digest. Does this make the request do-able? Thanks for your patience.Dwergenpaartje (talk)22:45, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Well, as far as I'm concerned, I couldn't fill it even if I wanted because #1 and #3 are still offered by the publisher and the making of full copies therefore does not qualify as a permissible "private copy" pursuant to the copyright law of my country of residence. Similarly, US and UK users typically cannot justify the making and providing of copies of whole books under applicable fair use/fair dealing provisions. (That is also the reason behind the "We cannot perform full book scans requests due to copyright" notice at the top.) Besides, to be frank, I personally wouldn't scan 425 pages even if I were allowed to -- too time-consuming. And while #2 is perhaps out of print, I personally cannot help with that either as it is unfortunately held in an institutional library that I do not frequent. — Pajz (talk)23:29, 10 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
OK, thanks for explaining the legal restrictions, that is good to be aware of. Perhaps it would be possible for #1 and/or #3 to send me the pages with the tables of contents. That would give me the possibility to determine what I would need for any particular wiki article. Thank you for understanding.Dwergenpaartje (talk)09:28, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
(I'd be happy to help; unfortunately, I have the same problem with #1 and #3 as I have with #2. Hope someone else will be able to help with this one. Best, — Pajz (talk)23:18, 11 November 2018 (UTC))[reply]
Hi, this is a bit of an odd request: I'm looking to repair a dead link intelemarketing:
Rakow,?, pp. 212,215–217
The article attributes the phrase "gendered hierarchy of communication" to (presumably)Lana Rakow, but I can't find the article or book referenced: most of her work doesn't happen to include those page numbers. I thought it might bethis Taylor & Francis book chapter, but the partial google books view of it didn't look too promising. I would be grateful for any assistance in finding this reference.
Could it beFeminist communication theory: selections in context, Authors: Lana F. Rakow, Laura A. Wackwitz (Sage, 2004)? I've mostly come across articles written by her and books she has edited, but not written (although she could have written a chapter in a volume). This title has 280 pages so the pages make it a possibility and it popped up in a Google search when I searched for "gendered hierarchy of communication." But I haven't found a copy of the text to verify this. I did find articles by her online so maybe there are alternative sources for this quote.LizRead!Talk!03:40, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In Cyrillic script the title is Српски ђенерали у жицама 1941-1945, and the oclc is 680527957. According to Worldcat the book is held by University of Kansas, University College London, University of Toronto and Columbia University, but may be available elsewhere. I would prefer the Latin script one if that's at all possible, as my Cyrillic is rubbish. The page should be mainly p. 15 (possibly across the adjacent pages) of the Latin version, but I've asked for the range just to be sure in case it is the Cyrillic one. The entry should have Petrović's name as a header, in Cyrillic his name is Милорад Петровић.
Peacemaker67, I'm not sure what makes you think there are two editions. It looks more like the typical case of different libraries using different systems of transliteration (or none at all), which makes searching for Cyrillic titles a pain. (Which is also why you missed at least one other OCLC.) I can place a hold on the volume here, but do note that it is in Cyrillic script (table of contents). — Pajz (talk)11:01, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
"Quantitative measurement of the penetration of coconut oil into human hair using radiolabeled coconut oil," Journal of cosmetic science 63(1):27-31 · January 2012
Using Coconut Oil as a hair product for dandruff, dry skin, balding, etc. seems to be all the rage, but our page doesn't have any information about whether it actually works or is just a pseudoscience fad.

Two books seem to have information about thegolden-headed cisticola (Cisticola exilis), but I don't have full access to either of them. Would anyone here be able to email me the text of where they talk about the species? Note that it may be found under the name bright-capped cisticola or bright-headed cisticola, as these are both common alternative names. The books are as follows: Note: I only need the second book now per the discussion below; it appears that the first one does not talk about the species

Baker, Kevin (1997).Warblers of Europe, Asia, and North Africa. Princeton, New Jersey: Princeton University Press.ISBN0691011699.
Welp, it appears that the book doesn't actually discuss the Golden-headed cisticola, only other cisticola species (I checked to make sure they're not alternative names of this one and they're not). Thanks for taking a look; I guess I misunderstood. I suppose we'll just have to see what the second one says about the species now if anyone has access to that, as I verified on Google Books that the second one does indeed talk about the species.--SkyGazer 512Oh no, what did I do this time?02:06, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@SkyGazer 512: Have you looked at #2's Google Book preview. There are pages missing, but there is something on the bright-capped cisticola, for examplepage 60. The index, starting at page 397, may also help identify which pages you want. —Bruce1eetalk06:49, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
ThanksBruce1ee! For some reason when I did my own search forCisticola exilis on the same Google books book, that page didn't come up, even though it had the species' scientific name in it. Yeah, that's definitely helpful. According to the index, however, page 214 also has information about the species, which is not accessible, so it would be great if someone with access to the book could send me the text on that page.--SkyGazer 512Oh no, what did I do this time?21:43, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
