{{resolved}}Inthis publication (which I'm not sure is a magazine, journal or a newspaper), page 40 covers a good amount of info onNenjil Or Aalayam. I'd like that page, and if the info continues on page 41, I'd like that too. The last time I requested this, it went unnoticed and the request was archived. I hope someone notices it this time. --Kailash29792(talk)11:01, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Kailash29792, well, if a request doesn't get fulfilled, that doesn't necessarily mean it "went unnoticed", it may just mean that no one has access or no one wants to process it ... Also, you should take into account that requests like this one are almost impossible to fulfill unless you have the entire volume in front of you. We know very little about the actual location of that page since magazines typically don't have continous page numbers (at least not in Europe/the U.S.), so if you say it's on "page 40", that still begs the question: ofwhat issue? — Pajz (talk)18:29, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Kailash29792, at the bottom of the Google Books page is a link that says "Report an issue." Clicking on that, you have a number of options which let you email Google Books with questions. They can likely fill in some of the bibliographic information for you even if they can't give you the scans. Many thanks toMrLinkinPark333 for pointing this out; it's been hugely useful, and they've made several previously restricted out of copyright books available for full view as a result. --Usernameunique (talk)02:17, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
From the "Bibliographic information" part of the page, here are some details: the publisher is United India Periodicals, and the year is 1962. ----Kailash29792(talk)05:23, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Kailash29792, the problem is that we don't know which issue the desired content is in. It could be in 26, 27, 28, etc.; there are 26 possibilities. By getting in touch with Google you can likely find out which, significantly narrowing the search range for anyone attempting to fulfill your request. --Usernameunique (talk)17:37, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Usernameunique, I think it must be January 1962, since the film was released on the 26th of that month. I say this because page 40, from the little content visible, looks like a review. If not January, most likely February. ----Kailash29792(talk)07:15, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Kailash29792, in response to yourtalk page ping ("I have given some updated info at the Resource Request page overhere andhere. Please respond."), I sent Google Books an email about this magazine a few days ago, asking for them to please provide the correct issue and date for page 40. I will update when I hear back. In the future, such a rudimentary step would be easy to do yourself before posting your request. --Usernameunique (talk)07:07, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Kailash29792, per Google Books: "Hello, Thank you for reaching out to the Google Books team. The page displayed in the snippet view for this volume is in issue number 35 from April 8, 1962." In the future, you can email Google Books with such questions yourself by using the "Report an issue" link at the bottom of the page. --Usernameunique (talk)21:48, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Usernameunique, I interpreted your comments in this thread as general advice about how to most effectively formulate requests based on Google Books hits (advice I found extremely helpful), rather than an indication that you have access to the requested material. Could you drop a note here clarifying whether you are in progress on this request or not? If not, then I think none of the volunteers here have access to the source, and after two listings of 90+ days each, I would like to close this as stale. --Worldbruce (talk)17:36, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The download is "Restricted to Repository staff [of Mataram University] only" & there is not a single Worldcat hit. -> The thesis is presumably unpublished, at least under that title. -> The request strikes me as pointless. Repository staff can be contacted as described here:http://eprints.unram.ac.id/information.html. Best, — Pajz (talk)07:59, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
(Edit conflict.)Tintor2, as to #1, why are you requesting that? This has the exact same issue that I have pointed out to you just a couple of threads above,#Sasuke Uchiha. If it's been published in a journal or as a standalone book/manuscript, please provide more information, if it's just on that website, it specifically says "Repository staff only". And that's probably who you should get in touch with. Regarding #3, it's incomprehensible to me what you are requesting. You link to the details of a talk held on April 11, 2013,https://surface.syr.edu/bts_conf/2013/Presentations/. This is not a "resource". If you want to get hold of the slides (if such exist), you should probably reach out to the speaker. Best, — Pajz (talk)17:07, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Ah now I get it. Should I put a resolved template or another one? Still, for some reason I didn't receive a ping to the Sasuke Uchiha response.Tintor2 (talk)17:11, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Tintor2: The primary purpose of the{{resolved}} template is to tell volunteers that they don't need to keep trying to fulfill the request. The distinctions of whether it's resolved in the sense that the requester received everything they wanted, or they withdrew the request, or the request was determined to be not doable, is not really important to us, so we just have the one template. --Worldbruce (talk)18:51, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Tintor2: "Disability and Biopolitics in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood" by Julie Sadler is downloadable from[1] (free, but registration required). The author describes it as "Delivered at CripCon 2013 in Syracuse, NY", so it's presumably what was announced in the program you linked to as "Embodiment, Disability and Social Violence in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood". --Worldbruce (talk)19:24, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm looking to improveWarcraft III: Reign of Chaos, especially the development section, but since development happened between 1996 and 2002, I can't find any sources online from back then. The libraries I can go to only carry German-language video gaming magazines in their archives (for obvious reasons) and all databases I have access to contain no such magazines at all. I also asked atWT:VG already but got no feedback yet. So if someone has some old magazines lying around or can access a library that archives such magazines, I'd be happy for some sources. If one can tell me where I can find such things online, all the better. RegardsSoWhy09:20, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
First article was (allegedly!) inThe Times of London, 6 January 1977, specific title not known ("Tangshan earthquake"?).
Second article would have been carried by UPI (United Press International) a week or two following the quake (that is,after 28 July 1976), giving a figure of 655,000, or "700,000 to 750,000" fatalities, possibly attributed to Dr. George Pararas-Carayannis.
@J. Johnson: I doubt a UPI source exists from that soon after the quake with those figures. The only mention of the doctor is on 28 July 1976 in an article subtitled "No news of casualties", to wit: "Center Director Dr. George Pararas-Carayannis said that if the quake hit in a populated area reports of considerable damage could be expected." On 7 August 1976, UPI reported more than 100,000 dead and about 900,000 injured, according to intelligence estimates by Nationalist Chinese authorities. On 27 August, UPI reported that China's official news agency (New China News Agency) gave no casualty figures for Tangshan. On 28 August, UPI said that two radio broadcasts announcing withdrawals of medical teams from Tangshan gave no indication of casualty numbers, but that casualty estimates from other sources ranged from tens of thousands to more than a million. If your numbers had been circulating on this side of the Bamboo Curtain at that time, these stories surely would have mentioned them.
A UPI story from 5 January 1977 gives estimates of fatalities and casualties in your ranges, based on a 6 August 1976 report by the "Hopeh Provincial Committee of the party and the Hopeh Revolutionary Committee" obtained via a Nationalist Chinese source.[2] --Worldbruce (talk)16:09, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for digging into that. I saw a UPI article for the 28th with no mention of Dr. George, so I would like to see what you found. (Perhaps they weren't comfortable with his figures?) That those numbers werenot mentioned is useful information. The 1977 story appears to be about the same event as one reported in a Hong Kong paper, so that is also useful. Thanks. ♦ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk)23:20, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
J. Johnson (JJ), I don't see the UPI article (I don't have direct access to UPI from that time period, but I do have access to newspapers that ran UPI stories). However, I can send you the Times article, as well as a more detailed UPI article that covers the same information. Send me an email and I'll reply with a PDF and a PNG.John M Baker (talk)15:58, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Got them. Thanks. A bit of work, but we slowly get one facet of one article on a more solid basis than "that's what everyone says all over the web". ♦ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk)23:30, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Apparently we do not have any source for the first name ofC. Steven McGann (seeWikipedia:Help_desk#Incorrect_Name). My Google-fu did not find anything authoritative either.It is fairly sure that the person exists and had this post. Maybe there are newspaper clips mentioning him during his tenure there in 2008-2011?

Muzilon, do you have any other reason to believe that this appeared in the January issue, or are you just inferring that from the Google Books cover? Because, in the latter case, I would point out that this doesn't seem to be a legitimate inference (the volume Google scanned here - from the University of Michigan - includes the issues "2003 Jan-Jun", according to Hathitrust, i.e. all we'd be able to infer from that is that the article must have appeared between issue 626 (January 2003) and 631 (June 2003), perhaps on page 59 - provided Google's software correctly identified the page).

{{resolved}}I can't ask for a specific article or such because I don't where it would have been published, if ever was published, and it is mostly likely in Chinese; it's going to require some search.
I have been re-writing1976 Tangshan earthquake, for which there is broad range of soft figures for the totaldeath toll. I am particularly interested identifying an official (i.e., PRC, or perhaps Hebei provincial) source for what many sources reiterate as the "official" death toll of 270,000. (Not to be confused with the 242,419 figure given byChen et al. (1988).) Is there anyone suitably qualified that might interested? Or any suggestions? ♦ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk)23:19, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You want a gov.cn webpage with 270,000 figure, you've got some. You want a gov.cn webpage with 240,000 figure, you can have some of those too. Just google '唐山地震 "27萬" site:gov.cn' or 24萬 as the case may be and you'll find some. --KTC (talk)23:43, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Cool! And with Google Translate I can even get some sense of the page found. However, there are still a lot of hits (and a lot of translation). Is there any way to limit this to something like "Bureau of Statistics"? I did try "site:cea.gov.cn" (Chinese Earthquake Authority), and got two pdf documents. But they were too big for Google Translate. ♦ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk)23:47, 21 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Returned results from cae.gov.cn uses the 240,000 figure, not 270,000. The two pdf you mentioned are referencing the1920 Haiyuan earthquake with its 270,000 casualties figure. hbdzj.gov.cn (Hebei Earthquake Agency) results likewise quote 240,000, and so does for examplethis page from the National Bureau of Statistics.
I suspect what you are looking for doesn't actually exist, and what happened was similar to what I did scanningthis page. Reading it for the first time I thought it stated that the Tangshan earthquake had a casualties of 270,000, whereas what it's actually doing is comparing Tangshan with the Haiyuan earthquake which had the 270,000 casualties.
Having looked at those search engine results again, I would suggest that 270,000 was a mistake made somewhere along the line that has been repeated onwards a bit likethis. --KTC (talk)08:54, 22 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I think you're right: it doesn't exist. It's just a virtual factoid that goes around and around so fast it looks like it's there. (Now if I could just find a citation ....:-) Thanks for the good work. And the wonderful link. ♦ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk)20:59, 22 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm curious whether it would be possible to get two or three chapters from that book through institutional subscriptions without someone having to scan them. I'd be interested in the chapters on "Syndicalism" (pp. 249–263) and "Haymarket and the Rise of Syndicalism" (pp. 353–369) for the article onsyndicalism. The chapter on "Anarchism and Cosmopolitanism" (pp. 125–148) might also be useful forRudolf Rocker, but I suspect, though the abstracts differ, it might be identical tothis journal article under the same name, which may be easier to get.
If it's not possible to get the chapters digitally without scanning I'd suggest holding off on this. I'll see whether one of the libraries I have access to ends up buying a physical copy, as the book is quite new.Thanks,Carabinieri (talk)21:49, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Serial Number 54129: A copy arrived today from a library that I wasn't sure would be able to supply it. I can scan the index if that's what you want, or I can jump directly to scanning the pages that deal with the codex.
One chapter is a translation of the codex, and another is about its origin and provenance. I can scan those, as well as the half a dozen or so mentions of it elsewhere in the book. Another chapter is a photographic reproduction of the codex, and another is a transcription of it, but I do not propose to copy those two, as I can't imagine a scenario in which a Wikipedian should be using them as source material, and because the sum would then be a very substantial number of pages to scan and a large portion of the book. --Worldbruce (talk)19:59, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Worldbruce: Thanks very much, that's really helpful. Your ideas are dead right: would you mind doing those two chapters, and the random mentions? As you say, the others would be WP:PRIMARY, and of no use for the article. But are you OK with doing over two chapters in any case? If it's too much, you should feel free to withdraw the offer if it turns out to be too much.

Well, I'm generally fine with ~50 pages, I've also done 70 or 80 if the relevant chapter is unusually long, but anything beyond that is just too much of a hassle. If you need 300 pages, maybe you should get in touch with your local chapter and ask them to buy (and lend you) the book (the German, Austrian and Swiss chapter do that, for instance), or go to a library in your vicinity, or order it from a library that sends books by mail, etc. Requesting scans form volunteers is not a suitable method for that purpose.

@LouisAragon: The book is in my hands. The pages you've requested seem odd, as they almost invariably start in the middle of one topic and end in the middle of another. The section titles in the vicinity of your ranges are as follows:
p. 38 Teyul
47 Hamehsaleh
55 Soyurghal
139 Tax Assessment
142 Level of Exploitation
144 The Position of Landlord and Peasant
149 TheTamgha or Trade Taxes: Taxes on Trade and Commerce
151 : The Guild Tax
179 The Rosumat, Vojuh, and Hoquq Fees
190 Service Duties
199 Military Service
201 Taxes in the Form of Gifts
211 Confiscation and Booty
212 Religious Taxes
214 Chapter 6: Change and Develpment in Government Fiscal Policy
216 Safavids
233 Afsharids
349 Tribal Tax
352 Poll Tax
Sections don't start at the top of a new page, so, for example, the last of Teyul is on page 47. I'm not sure how you arrived at your selections, but since we're trying to minimize the number of pages, would you confirm them before I start scanning? --Worldbruce (talk)02:12, 31 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have completely exhausted all resources available to me, include Trove, Google Books as well the historical and newspaper sections of the State library of Tasmania (LINC Tasmania)[1].
TheDPIPWE (Department of Primary Industry, Parks, Wildlife and Environment), located at134 Macquarie Street, Hobart, Tasmania,[2] is likely to hold information which is essential for this project.
Specifically, the following agencies likely have invaluable information:
Land Tasmania (Titles and Survey office)
Department of Corporate, Heritage and Lands (Natural and Cultural Heritage Division)
Crown land services branch
Land Tasmania (Geodata services branch)
Office of the surveyor general
Office of the valuer general
Is there any way of accessing their historical records online? Does anyone work in these departments, or is familiar with how the public access their records? Does anyone visit the DPIPWE in Hobart regularly?
Vitreology, as a general matter, I think you should get in touch with the institutions directly to find out whether they make some of their material available online. However, what I would do first is probably to get in touch withLINC Tasmania, which you describe as a state library (that may well be right), but which, perhaps more importantly, also operates the Tasmanian Archive and Heritage Office. Of course it may be that you have contacted them already, but if not, that would seem like a natural starting point to me. State archives are generally in the best position to give you information on where to find answers to historical questions of that nature (be it in their collection or in some other place). And, of course, they receive vast amounts of material from other government agencies after some time. (In fact, if my experience from other countries is anything to go by, agencies whose name sounds like they ought to have information on some historical topic are often not well-equipped to handle requests because they lack the necessary archiving infrastructure to do so. One of the very points of a state archive, after all, is to spare each and every agency from having to host a large collection of historical materials themselves, and from having to employ archive staff to help with research requests.) If you look athttps://www.linc.tas.gov.au/get-help/Pages/help-finding.aspx, they specifically offer to provide "information or provide a search path" in response to queries, and they provide a dedicated form for research questions, athttp://sltas.altarama.com/reft100.aspx?key=Research. I would definitely make use of that. Needless to say, working with archival material is extremely hard (and often impossible) if you can't be there in person, but for instance you could ask if they are aware of any publications on the topic you're interested in. (This can be very helpful. Just as an example, a few months ago I asked the state archive of a Swiss canton for information on whether the canton joined a particular treaty in the 1840s. They know of a local historian familiar with this topic, gave me his email address, and could refer me to a book he published a few years ago - it was widely available, I would just never have looked there.) Personally, I believe this is not too much of a constraint for our work here given that we should not rely on primary sources anyways. Best, — Pajz (talk)05:52, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Pajz, thanks for your thoughtful response. You've given me some ideas. I've submitted a research request via your 2nd link. Thanks very much for the advice.
I still haven't given up hope that someone on here has an intimate knowledge of these departments and is willing to offer to provide a little bit of help with in-person document retrieval. I hope I'm not being too optimistic!Vitreology (talk)15:06, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Jo-Jo Eumerus: This is just an advertisement for a conference to be held in the future, it's not proceedings. A single page beginning with "We are pleased to announce that the next inter-congress meeting of the International Focus Group on Tephrochronology and Volcanism (INTAV) is to be held in Brasov, Romania, 25-29 June, 2018." If you are sure you want it, give me your email address. --Tim Starling (talk)01:58, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Cachao's mambo returning in recent releases - Fort Worth Star-Telegram (December 29, 1995)
Cantante mexicano Cristian anuncia nuevo disco de boleros - Fort Worth Star-Telegram (January 19, 1996)
These are the only two articles I could find onNewspapers.com Newsbank that might be of helpful to the articleAmor (Cristian Castro song). I'm having trouble finding reviews from the song's parent albumEl Deseo de Oír Tu Voz which was released in 1996. At the least, I need those two articles, but if anyone has access to other news archives that has information about the album containing, that'd be great as well.
