@Eddie891: In your Gbooks link, I can access all except 234, 235 and 238. By the way, the chapter ends on 239, not 240. If you can't access specific pages, let me know and I can send the ones I do have access to apart from those 3. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 16:44, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
MrLinkinPark333, Thanks. Through google.com, I get that "pages 77 to end are not included in this preview". if I go through google.ca, I can see the pages I want, I can see the pages where they should be but they have "you have either reached a page that is unavailable for viewing or reached your viewing limit for this book." Thoughts? Eddie891TalkWork17:31, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Eddie891 It's most likely a daily page limit. If you check again another day, you might be able to get more pages then you did before (depending on how many pages you looked already). Sometimes I can't access a page then might be able to - depends if it's part of the preview. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 17:41, 1 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello everyone. I would greatly appreciate Chapter 11 ("Freshly Squeezed: 1990—94", pp. 165–177) from the following book. I will be using it to revise the Veronica Clare article for a FAC.
I originally could access the parts of the book I need through Google Books Preview, but for whatever reason, it is not inaccessible to me. I have been having issues with them for some time, although I am sure there is a clear and obvious answer. Thank you in advance for your help! Aoba47 (talk) 01:59, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Aoba47: I've experienced this before myself. I suspect that Google Books may move a book's preview window from time to time. I've learnt that if I can see pages in a preview, save them before the window shifts. Regarding the pages you want (165–177), I can see all of them except pages 167, 175 and 177. I'm not sure how much you can see. —Bruce1eetalk07:59, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Bruce1ee: Thank you for the response. The information on the show is on page 168. I have tried looking through Google Books preview again, and it is still not accessible to me for some reason. Would it be possible to email me a screenshot? Aoba47 (talk) 13:49, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The URL does not respond--it says it takes too much time to load. Tried reloading several times to the same result. HĐ (talk) 03:15, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Searching for The Thankful Poor in this book shows that there are articles on this painting starting at page 32 and page 90. —Bruce1eetalk06:03, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

My access to De Gruyter via the Wikipedia Library does not let me see this chapter. Apparently there is a problem with De Gruyter access at the moment. They redesigned their website and haven't sorted/loaded our access yet, or something like that. —Bruce1eetalk07:43, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Buidhe, someone here might have access, but you might also try emailing De Gruyter and explaining the situation; they have sent me one-off articles in the past. --Usernameunique (talk) 20:12, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
After gaining access to the Mosby source, I need to cross-reference some information to find out if two different sources are referring to the same art reviewer. One of them cites Sewell p. 119, but I found that the book also has information on The Thankful Poor. I'm not sure which exact page ranges I will need, but it should include page 119.
Okay I looked through Bruce1ee's book, and found that the exact quote mentioned in the Mosby provided by Usernameunique is also mentioned on page 92 of this book. So yes, this is likely the same book I need. However, I forgot to include a separate source I need for the cross-reference: the notes section of the chapter I specified in the new book by Woods. It should be near the end of the chapter. Specifically, I need to know the note 32 that is the source for the passage at the bottom of page 85. Searching over the Google book version's snippet previews is not enough to confirm what it is. GeneralPoxter (talk) 23:34, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Bruce1ee Thank you very much. I saved the article. On OED I looked a few years ago, and just want to see if it was recently updated, so 2009 won't do. I meant to ask for OED online.

By the way, Jo-Jo Eumerus, a response to your comment regarding contacting authors, which was archived before I had a chance to respond. You said "Sorry, but in light of bad experiences I am extremely reluctant at contacting people off-Wikipediaby email." I'm not sure what bad experiences you are, or could be, referring to; the worst that can happen by emailing an author and requesting an article is that they respond by saying "no." In fact, the very first of the "Tips for finding a source yourself" at the top of this page is to "Send a request to the author(s) of research papers for a copy of their paper by email."
There are many reasons for authors to oblige, such as the desire to see their research widely distributed, professional pride, and common courtesy. It is frequently also the least indulgent request, because other means—asking people to track down and download or scan a work, or requesting an institution obtain it via ILL—tend to take more time and money than reaching out to someone who already has it. Given the nature of your requests, many of which are obscure, held by few institutions, and difficult to obtain—a prime example being this article, which you term "Probably a hopeless case"—it almost behooves you to take the step of reaching out to those most likely to have the articles—that is, the authors themselves. --Usernameunique (talk) 02:03, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good, Jo-Jo Eumerus. If the discomfort of sending strangers emails is what's making you hesitant, don't worry—I would just send a brief form email (similar to how you lead off most of your requests here with "Greetings, has someone..."), saying that you came across a reference to their article, think it might be useful for a Wikipedia article you're working on, and wonder if they have a copy readily available. --Usernameunique (talk) 14:46, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Booku: Please send me an email. (I have not had time to scan this yet and will not for another couple of days, but I might as well get your email now; if you haven't received anything by Wednesday, please nudge me.) —Compassionate727(T·C)18:42, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Bookku: Scanned, please send me an email.

@Compassionate727:
I am sorry, since being busy on Women's day related articles my communication seemed to have remained bit unclear, while doing my multi tasking.
Now I have responded to your question and I am very much looking forward to other supportive ref sources. It is very nice of you. Thanks and warm regards Bookku (talk) 03:32, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Compassionate727: Many many thanks, I just browsed them and I feel mostly I can use them. As such whatever good refs come my way I tend to use that slows down my speed a bit but I do cover up topics over a period of time. Around after International Women's day for couple of weeks articles about Aurat March in Pakistan, there after I will return back to Draft:Irrational beliefs which is also my top priority. Thanks and warm regards. Bookku (talk) 04:47, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Gazal world and Usernameunique: Regretting for delay from my side to respond here, it seems lately I have added too many topics in my plate and getting delayed in my communications. I would like to sincerely thank both of you for your valuable help. Warm regards. Bookku (talk) 04:47, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

For Miñiques
Hello everyone. I am currently working on the Veronica Clare article for a future FAC. I would greatly appreciate the following sources to help this expansion.
"Edward Warrulan: An Australian Lad". The Aborigines’ Friend, and Colonial Intelligencer, 1855–58. The Organ of the Aborigines’ Protection Society. London: William Tweedie: 49–55. 1855.
Working on Draft:Starseed Pilgrim. The Google Books search in the book shows mentions of the game on pages 153+, and possibly some pages before 272 and/or 290. If someone could look at the text around those pages and send over any relevant pages that discuss Starseed Pilgrim at length, that would be much appreciated.
@Zupotachyon:Sent all three via email, though page 272 is just an inline citation to the game and page 290 is the actual reference to the game itself. I did a ctrl+F for "starseed" on the rest of the book and confirmed that those three pages were the only mentions. DanCherek (talk) 12:49, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Links above go to the relevant issue of each newspaper at the British Newspaper Archive. These are for a GA nomination for A Question of Europe and would relate to a broadcast of an Oxford Union debate. Many thanks for any help you can offer - Dumelow (talk) 09:02, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Dumelow: I've sent #1 (page 3) and #2 (page 3). Note that the date you give for #2 is 3 June 1975, whereas the date you've linked to is 3 June 1970 – the page I've sent you is from 3 June 1970. I need to work on #3 – my British Newspaper Archive access is extremely limited. —Bruce1eetalk09:46, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Bruce1ee and so sorry for the hassle. That's grand for #2, but I didn't guess the right page for #3. Again, judging from the previews it might be p13. Do you have access to every page of that issue? It'll be a description of upcoming live TV coverage of the Oxford debate - Dumelow (talk) 10:47, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Dumelow: No problem. I've sent you page 12 of the Aberdeen Evening Express, 31 May 1975. I think this may be what you're after. If not, I'll try again. As I said above, my access to the British Newspaper Archive is limited. —Bruce1eetalk11:44, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This may be a long shot, but if anyone happens to have a Kauppalehti subscription, I'm looking to access the following source for an article I'm building in my sandbox:
Armadillopteryx, the link you provided includes the email address for the author, Silva Rehn (see the link titled "Ota yhteyttä"). Can't hurt to shoot her a note—and if you don't know Finnish, the odds of her knowing English seem pretty good. --Usernameunique (talk) 05:58, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Jo-Jo Eumerus, you can see a preview here. At the bottom of the page is a "Contacto" link which you might be able to use to get a larger version. You could also try reaching out to the authors of this paper, who have cited it, to see if they are able to send a copy. --Usernameunique (talk) 06:38, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@CuriousGolden:Sent via email - I'm not sure if you intentionally just wanted the first four pages, but the entie article is 20 pages, so I've sent it all just in case. It's a scanned PDF, so the file size is quite large. DanCherek (talk) 14:19, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

To check whether this reference is correct. I was unable to find this paper online.
Gazal world, I'm trying to get this. From an online chat with a librarian from the University of Michigan—the source for the scan on Hathitrust and Google Books, and which can thus access said scan—the article is on pages 9 to 11 of volume 6, issue 4. Citation above amended accordingly. --Usernameunique (talk) 17:21, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
buidhe and Bruce1ee thank you so much. I could not find a copy of the book on Google books or anywhere else - wasn't even sure it was a book. I don't know yet what I might use. It was referenced in another work so I want to see the original and find out what it actually says for itself. I will see what I can see. I may come back! Thank you both! Jenhawk777 (talk) 05:59, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It's held at a decent number of libraries[7] but most of the book is just a translation of the original documents, according to the TOC. (t · c) buidhe06:19, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
buidhe That makes sense actually. It was used as a reference for which of the Acts was likely to be genuinely historical and which weren't. That's why I thought I should check it for myself. Gazal world I have no way of knowing what might be most relevant to this question. Perhaps of there is an intro or a conclusion section??? Google books found it finally but won't even allow a snippet view. It says this work is historically valuable bu then it won't let you see it! Ahrrr!! Any help - any pages - you can give will be genuinely appreciated. Jenhawk777 (talk) 19:24, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Jenhawk777: There is a search button below the Gbook. Enter any key-word useful to you and you would be able to see that on which pages it appear. This will help you to request specific pages. --Gazal world (talk) 19:30, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Gazal world So if I type in Introduction it shows me a picture of that word and that's it. It doesn't give me access to the introduction. I give up. I don't think there is any way to access this 2-volume book no matter how "historically important" it supposedly is. Thank you for your efforts anyway. Jenhawk777 (talk) 20:12, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Jenhawk777: What I am trying to tell you is: Use the search button, enter useful key-words (person name or anything else you are searching for) and search, check snippet view and page numbers. And tell me here those page numbers, I will get them scanned from my library. --Gazal world (talk) 20:18, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Gazal world Okay! They won't show me anything but maybe you can! Awesome! Let's try pages LI and LIV, then pages LX to LXII. I'm grateful for your willingness to go above and beyond like this. Pretty cool.
Awesome! Thank you buidhe. The book review is written by E. Mary Smallwood; the title is H. Musurillo, The Acts of the Christian Martyrs. (Oxford Early Christian Texts.) Oxford: The Clarendon Press, 1972. Pp. lxxiii + 379. Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 September 2012; from the Journal of Roman studies, volume 63; I found it at [[8]]. Thank you again, I appreciate it! Jenhawk777 (talk) 02:52, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you buidhe. Got it! If it's okay, I won't put resolved here yet since Gazal world also said he would scan those pages for me. I found another review as well, and can see it, and hopefully the two together and the pages Gazal can send will be sufficient. Thanx again. Jenhawk777 (talk) 03:00, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Jenhawk777: Sorry. I was busy in my college works. I have not requested the page scan yet. I will request it tonight. If you want more pages from the book, let me know. Because after this request, I would not be able to request this book again. --Gazal world (talk) 16:55, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Gazal world No apology necesssary - really - you are the one doing me the favor, and I am just grateful. Period. The introduction to the book is 60 pages long. I will be glad for any and all of it that you can scan and send. Since it is probable you won't be able to send all of it, perhaps the last 5-10 pages or so will contain conclusions? I have no way of knowing. I'm just guessing. It could be that the first 5-10 pages tell what he is going to say and that would provide a kind of summary instead. If you have the book, perhaps you could take a look and see if there is anywhere he summarizes or forecasts or offers any kind of an overview? You know how authors often write that "In chapter 6 I will discuss so and so". That would be helpful. This is asking a lot, I know, so anything you send will be received with gratitude no matter what. Thank you again, and I mean that sincerely. Later! Jenhawk777 (talk) 17:35, 16 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Gazal world I am sorry too, but in all fairness, these things don't often take days, so I am sure Jim Hokins just thought he was helping close out a request that had remained open too long. At any rate, I am deeply grateful to both of you. The help you provide here is completely awesome. A heartfelt thank you – again and again! {{Resolved}}Jenhawk777 (talk) 20:55, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
