Making a request

[edit]

Before asking volunteers to look for your source, try finding it yourself with the tools at your disposal.

In particular, eligible editors can use the Wikipedia Library, which gives access to content provided by numerous academic publishers.

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.
  • Though we would prefer you to ask for a specific journal, article or work, we will accept open-ended questions. You can ask for all kinds of sources here, either on this page or by writing directly to an active user.
  • Provide as much detail as possible: a full citation with author, title, publisher, date and identifiers like DOI, ISBN, ISSN, PMID, OCLC, etc. Indicate which article you need this for.
  • Due to copyright restrictions, we cannot send you full book/thesis copies. Narrow down your request to a specific chapter or page(s).
  • Since we cannot post original copyrighted material online, we will most likely send it by email. Make sure you have specified an email address in your preferences before asking.
  • Add the {{Resolved}} template when your request is completed.
  • Filled requests are archived. Requests unfilled after three months will also be archived.

Books about folktales of Southeast Asian peoples (Tai Khamti and Shan)

[edit]

The following books were written by academics of the peoples themselves.

1 * Sai Aung Htun Dr. (2020). Taikhamti: Legends & Law. Shan Literature and Culture Association. pp. 1-6 (introduction), 75-80 (tale 16. "The Python"), 143-156 (tale nr. 29 "The Young Man from the Emerald Mollusc (Sao Hoi Seng)").

The introduction is for Khamti people as a possible source, tale 16 for "The Story of the Hamadryad" (girl marries python).

The alternate for tale 29 indicates it is a Khamti variant of Sang Thong (aka. "The Prince in a Golden Conch [Shell]"), because "Hǒi-sang" was the name used by J. Leyden and Captain James Low to indicate the existence of the tale in the early 19th century.

2. * Pu Loi Hom; Pu Loi Tun, eds. (2014). Shan Legends. Zaw Oo. pp. 109-121 (text for tale nr. 14, "The Story of Ai Maung of the Tousled Hair (White Shell-fish, the future Buddha)", 300-308 (text for tale nr. 48, "The Story of a Fairy and a Prince"), 314-317 (text for tale nr. 51, "The Youth of Emerald Mollusc").

The Story of a Fairy and a Prince is homonymous with a tale first collected from a Shan source and published by Mrs. Leslie Milne in 1910. Milne's tale is a Shan variant of ATU 408 and the Indian "The Belbati Princess". Would like to see if it another variant or a reedition of Milne's text. In the latter's case, will add it as a reprint and later to separate the Shan tales.

"White Shell-fish" has a parallel title to a Shan tale published by B. R. Pearne in Journal of the Burma Research Society with the title "The Silver Oyster", which has been pointed as a Shan variant of Sang Thong. Possibly another variant of the Shan tale.

"The Youth of Emerald Mollusc" has a similar title with the Khamti "The Young Man from the Emerald Mollusc (Sao Hoi Seng)".

@KHR FolkMyth: Yes Sent the second request. – Doc Taxon • Talk • 13:45, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello. Got it. Thank you. Yes. One was a reedition, the other was a version of the tale of "Sang Thong"/Silver Oyster in a Shan tale. KHR FolkMyth (talk) 15:23, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@KHR FolkMyth: I'm having a hard time finding information about the first book. It is not the same publisher, but are you potentially referencing this? If not, could you supply a link to an index like Google Books or WorldCat? Thanks. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 14:07, 6 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I found a link to the National Library of Myanmar, indivating that the book exists somewhere. KHR FolkMyth (talk) 15:28, 6 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
KHR FolkMyth, available copies of the books seem to be few and far between. There is the one that you found in the National Library of Myanmar, and the Department of Ethnical Literature & Culture-Kachin State also appears to have a copy, given the Facebook post here. Two bookshops also appear to have it: one here, for $3.5, and one here (although that post is from 2020). The first of those also includes a link to the book's table of contents, acknowledgements, introduction, and foreword. Note that the author died some months after publication, so reaching out to him is not an option. The reality is that the book is going to be difficult to borrow from a library. The best option would likely be to reach out to some of the parties above, and see if they would be willing to provide a scan of a few pages. (The bookshops may be less likely to do that, but while it's less than ideal to have to pay for sources used on Wikipedia, the cost before shipping does appear to be nominal—maybe they'd provide a scan so you wouldn't have to also pay for shipping?) --Usernameunique (talk) 18:27, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the feedback. I don't know. Is it an alternative? KHR FolkMyth (talk) 20:30, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, KHR FolkMyth. Is what an alternative? --Usernameunique (talk) 20:38, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
To get in touch with the author/publisher. KHR FolkMyth (talk) 20:47, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Getting in touch with an author or publisher is frequently a good way to get a copy of an article, especially when it's a niche piece; mentioning that it's for Wikipedia is also sometimes helpful, because it (a) shows it's for research (a reason for which authors, themselves researchers, frequently can relate), and (b) implies that the article might become more widely cited. Particularly here, when you're looking for a book that we can't find a trace of outside of Myanmar, I would try every available avenue. --Usernameunique (talk) 03:03, 2 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Aircraft Accident Digest

[edit]

For Pakistan International Airlines Flight 17. I'm planning on expanding the aforementioned article, but without access to the final report – which I managed to find on Google Books, doing so would be very difficult. From the limited previews, I'm able to see that the report starts from page 32 but have no idea on which page it ends.

Long story short, I should be able to get this to you in around a month! The University of Michigan is willing to lend the necessary issues to my school library, but they're in remote storage and inaccessible until September. Bsoyka (t • c • g) 19:43, 8 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Bsoyka Has this been resolved? BorgQueen (talk) 10:16, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Aviationwikiflight, I've asked the University of Michigan Library if they're able to provide the full bibliographic information, particularly the issue number, report title, and page range. The librarian wasn't able to see the full view on Hathitrust/Google Books (despite the fact that the scan came from their copy), but forwarded the request to a librarian at Buhr, who will hopefully check and follow up (per the librarian I chatted with, "This can take a couple of weeks, but hopefully no more than that if they get to it before the holidays"). That won't result in the full report immediately, but it will make it easier to request via ILL, as we'll know the precise information to request. --Usernameunique (talk) 19:15, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For User:Theleekycauldron/San Fernando Valley secession efforts. There's a PDF online, but it has to be a preprint because it claims to be from November 2001 and talks about a 2001 referendum, except neither of those are possible because the referendum was in 2002. So, I'm looking for the actual published copy in the hopes that it's not error-riddled. Thanks :) theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 22:24, 14 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The journal on WorldCat. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 16:36, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
theleekycauldron, the online PDF appears to be a preprint, as you say; among other things, there are highlighted placeholders and notes (e.g., a note dated March 3, 2003, that says "Need clarify if maps and tables go together or have separate Figure numbers. Also need source info on one map"). I requested this from my library, noting that I was trying to find the final version rather than the preprint—it then sent me an electronic copy with the same placeholders and notes. I can follow up and ask them to try again, but it might also be helpful to reach out to the authors and see if they can send you a copy of the final version. The email for Tom Hogen-Esch is found here, and the email for Martin Saiz here. --Usernameunique (talk) 20:08, 2 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Access to Hungarian language folktales about a Pig/Hedgehog prince

[edit]

1 * IMRE, FÁBIÁN. Eredeti népmesék Biharból (in Hungarian). Literator Könyvkiadó. pp. 118-125 (tale "A sündisznó meg a királylány"). ISBN 973-9360-31-9.

The tales are Hungarian variants of the Animal as Bridegroom cycle. I intend to separate the Hungarian-only tales from "The Enchanted Prince Who was a Hedgehog", which is sourced from a Romani-Hungarian source. There is some overlap between Romani-Hungarian and Hungarian tales, since Hungary has a sizable Romani population, but, since we have an article about Romani folklore which lists other Romani-only tales, I think it's best to create independent articles for each.

EDIT: Actually, vol. 10 of the MNK folktale catalogue, which indexes the Romani-Hungarian tales, list these (/\) tales above as from Romani-Hungarian sources.

Thanks, KHR FolkMyth (talk) 13:29, 6 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Tabletop game magazines

[edit]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask for this, and if not maybe you can point me in the right direction? I'm not looking for specific sources about specific topics, but rather collections of magazines to be useable generally as sources. There are a bunch of such magazines on Internet Archive, but there are several that I have not found, or at least not found full collections of, so maybe someone who is better at searching for this sort of thing could help me locate the ones I am missing? If you see them at IA, or available somewhere else, could you ping me and let me know? Or if there is a more appropriate forum to ask could you let me know that?

  1. Challenge (1986 - 1995); issues are numbered #25-77; most issues are available on IA[1] although many have missing pages; issues missing entirely or unreadable are #31-32, 44, 53-55, 73-77
  2. Games Unplugged (2000 - 2004); 34 issues
  3. GamesMaster International (1990 - 1991); 15 issues
  4. GM (1988 - 1990); 19 issues
  5. InQuest Gamer (1995 - 2007); 150 issues; many are available on IA[2] with another partial collection here[3]; so missing are 16, 18-22, 25, 27-32, 35, 37-38, 42, 44-48, 51, 53-57, 59-64, 66-78, 82-87, 89-129, 131-150
  6. Pyramid (1993 - 1998); 30 issues from volume 1; most of the articles can be found on the sjgames.com website, although many are incomplete snippets, so copies of the actual magazines would be preferrable (second volume was online only, third volume had no reviews, so only need first volume)
  7. Shadis (1990 - 1998); 53 issues; many issues are available on IA[4] and #25:[5] so missing are #24, 26-28, 30-33, 36-37, 39, 41-47, 49-53
  8. Valkyrie (1994 - 2003); 28 issues
  9. VIP of Gaming (1985 - 1986); at least 5 issues:[6]
  10. White Wolf (1986 - 1995); 57 issues

Anything you can find would be a big help!

CorrectionsJackal I'm not sure if that's the answer you are looking for, but the organisation itself claims to do that on its front page, and that's WP:ABOUTSELF. Now whether you should include it in the article, instead of describing what narratives it has disrupted, which changes in power it enacted or enabled and what was its impact on pro-Palestinian activism is another matter.

[edit]
  • Raina, Mohini Qasba (2013). Kashur: The Kashmiri Speaking People. Trafford Publishing. p. 85. ISBN 978-1490701653.

Page 85 of the above book has following sentence,

.."it is believed that on every eighth tithe of the bright half of the month, it begins to shake and produces the most extraordinary effect"..

. This sentence seem to have a spelling mistake being discussed at Talk:Sharada Peeth#the word tithe is incorrect.

Above citation has been used on the article Sharada Peeth. I do not need the page but rather need help in finding out whether the author Raina has given any information from exact which book and edition she herself sourced sentence.

I wish to have following information

  • Whether she has any given information / reference to the sentence? at the end of page no.85 or at the end of chapter, or end of the book?
  • Or if her bibliography contains mention of "Abū al-Faz̤l ibn Mubārak, The Āʼīn-i Akbarī, vol. 2, translated by H.S. Jarrett, edited by Jadunath Sarkar," If yes then which edition?

For Archivea, a seemingly extremely rare monotypic orchid which, to the best of my knowledge, is known only from a single illustration. The first two are articles which I haven't been able to find online: I can only find citations to the article in Revista Guatemalensis, while the article in Orchids does seem to at least be available online to members of the American Orchid Society. The third source is a recent book that at least (according to Plants of the World Online) mentions Archivea, but I am not sure on which page(s) - any pages that mention it even briefly would be useful.

Primary results in the 1978 Texas's 19th congressional district election

[edit]

For User:1brianm7/sandbox/1978 Texas's 19th congressional district election, apologies if this is a bit of an unusual request. This is the first election article I am working on and I've only been able to find the data on depreciated user-generated sites, who don't say where they got it. If this isn't the proper venue, then apologies.

Books on Neapolitan cuisine for Neapolitan ragù

[edit]

I'm looking for a few books on Neapolitan cuisine in the hopes that they cover Neapolitan ragù. I am confident that Francesconi goes in some depth, and not sure at all whether any of the Sorrentino book's cover the subject. I have had little luck searching, and none are in libraries close to me.

For Scientology and Church of Scientology

I'm trying to verify the sentence The Church of Scientology has been described by government inquiries, international parliamentary bodies, scholars, law lords, and numerous superior court judgments as both a dangerous cult and a manipulative profit-making business. Therefore I need an excerpt or verbatim quotation from the passages where Edge's book focuses on Scientology.

Articles from British Newspaper Archive

[edit]

Does anyone happen to have access to BNA? Bruce1ee has kindly informed me that TWL is working to restore access to this resource, but if anyone has their own access, I would appreciate seeing the following articles. Previews of the first two can be seen with this search (first two articles); previews of the third and fourth can be seen with this search (second and ninth articles).

The first two are for an article (currently in draft form) on Edith Maryon's statuette The Dance of Anitra; the second two are for a potential article on George Bowman.
