Boy Scouts and What They Do: As illustrated at the Imperial Scout Exhibition and Rally held in Birmingham, July, 1913. London: Oldfields. 1913. OCLC52336898.
Fair enough, I just figured that sometimes people do silly things. Here's a 2017 article that takes extensively from the book, including a number of photographs. It's written by Marek Popiel, who is the editor-in-chief of the magazine (source). Pigsonthewing, If I were you, I would reach out via the first email on the magazine's contact page; it's a recent article and has clearly digitized part of the Boy Scouts and What They Do book, so he may well have a scanned copy. --Usernameunique (talk) 14:48, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Buidhe and Pigsonthewing: Late last week, my librarian's archivist contacted Boston University's archivist; although they aren't willing to loan the book, they asked me to fill out a couple of forms requesting permission to access the archive and an electronic scan of the book. I submitted those yesterday morning and now await a response. —Compassionate727(T·C)14:03, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry but my access has expired and I am waiting on it to be reactivated. But I'm in the middle of writing a piece and need some articles, the problem is I am not sure which, because I cannot see them. What I know is that in 1962 Jamaican women did not have individual nationality. I know that they did have individual nationality by 1998. So searching nationality in that time frame, I come up with 3 articles that might help, but I cannot go to an article, only a page. This one says "The child of unmarried parents is entitled to the nationality of his mother, but so of his father" in the snippet, so possibly it is for the article "Are Our Children Equal?", but I am unsure. This one says "Dual citizenship is allowed in respect of certain" in the snippet, so I am guessing "Jamaican Citizenship". And finally This one says a law change is in the making. Can anyone help with these?
Bruce1ee I truly appreciate your patience. Still not the date I need. Let's try this one. The snippet phrase is "Nationality (Amendment) Act, 1993, the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act, 1993". Looking for a needle within a haystack requires perseverance and help from friends. Thanks! SusunW (talk) 15:42, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Bruce1ee Thank you so very much! I think this is it! None of the other clippings indicate a legal change actually took place, so as this one says the Nationality Amendment passed in 1993 I think I have my date. Now just to see if I can find a version of the law at that point in time to confirm. Totally appreciate all of your help! {{resolved}}SusunW (talk) 15:59, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I'm looking for any 2010s newspaper sources from Newsbank for my draft on Ted Sanders. He was the acting United States Secretary of Education from 1990 to 1991. Last reliable sources I've found were that he was a chancellor for Ellis University in either 2008 or 2008 and that he was part of the National Commission on Teaching and America's Future. I was wondering if Ted Sanders appears at all from 2010 onwards in Newsbank as I don't have access to this database. I've also found no sources during this time period from Newspapers.com & Newspaperarchive.com. Thanks! MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 18:10, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@MrLinkinPark333: I found a few Newsbank sources from that period using the search "Ted Sanders" AND "Secretary of Education". They are not great, but maybe you can do something with them. Send me an email and I'll send the articles. And let me know if there are other searches you would like to run, in case mine was not ideal. John M Baker (talk) 23:30, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

For deep vein thrombosis, where how this disease process impacted Serena Williams is discussed in the Social section
This is a thesis from Duke University, 1975 (and Duke has it in hardcopy). ProQuest has it (ProQuest Dissertations & Theses A&I, doesn't seem to be in the Wikipedia library), and through my university I've been able to see the preview, but I don't want to invest $41 if avoidable. Does anyone have full access? This is for A Voyage Round the World (GA on the long road to getting even better), Johann Reinhold Forster, and possibly Georg Forster. I'd mainly like to look at Chapter III (the things discussed in Chapters IV and V, while also relevant, are quite well covered in other sources that I already have).
Kusma, I have access to this. Do you want the entire dissertation or the 24-page abstract? Either way, send me an email through wikimail and I can attach the pdf. (t · c) buidhe12:25, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Even though I have access to T&F (recently renewed until October 5, 2021!), it is not letting me read them, nor older articles in the JH (for example [10.1080/00918369.2015.1060053 this one]).

@Zigzig20s: When I search for the article titles in T&F via TWL, I can see them both, but only the abstracts. If I search for the DOIs, I don't see them at all. I don't know why TWL T&F access behaves like that. It says quite clearly that you can use DOIs as search terms. In my alma mater T&F access I can find both articles using DOIs as search terms. —Bruce1eetalk18:08, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Naval Disasters Since 1860". Hampshire Telegraph and Naval Chronicle. No. 4250. Portsmouth. 10 May 1873.
In search of further information for a query from @Mjroots: at WT:MILHIST; which seems to concern the redlink entry here.
If the issue date is correct, it would be here? Otherwise it might also be the issue from 14 May, here ("naval disasters since 1860"). Since these papers are long out of copyright, I hope it poses no problem sending over the publications in full (they seem to be relatively short); and I can do the sifting through on my own.
@RandomCanadian: Looking in Newspapers.com, the 10 May 1873 issue has 10 pages, and the 14 May 1873 issue has 4 pages. I can see no way to download a complete issue of the newspaper, other than to clip each page individually. If you don't have access to Newspapers.com, I can clip each of the 14 pages for you. Otherwise, perhaps someone else knows of another source where you can download complete issues. —Bruce1eetalk15:53, 15 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I've recently written Rosa M. Morris (has been accepted at DYK) and would like to find out whether it is true or not that her PhD supervisor was Geoffrey Ingram Taylor. From this book:
I have been able to find out the title and snippets about the content of the dissertation, Two-dimensional potential theory, with special reference to aerodynamic problems, but there is no mention of Taylor according to Google's scan of the book. Does anyone have access to the full book? Also, the University of Cambridge should have the thesis in hardcopy, and I'm wondering whether it might mention a supervisor? I would also welcome any other suggestions where to find this information.
Thanks, —Kusma (𐍄·𐌺) 12:41, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Pbrks, thank you, great idea to check there! If that fails, I guess the only way to find out more is to be physically present in Cambridge and see what the COVID rules are in the libraries there. —Kusma (𐍄·𐌺) 10:11, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Kusma: Some bad news I'm afraid. Neither Oxford or Cambridge, in their wisdom and greed, participate in the EThOs scheme, so that won't achieve much, I'm afraid; as for the hard copy, UK doctoral theses (or indeed any UK theses) won't have much than a covering form displaying basic facts such as thesis title / date awarded / student and supervisors' names, etc. There is no chance it will contain a potted biography. The supervisor will almost be certainly be referenced in the acknowledgements, but again, is unlikely to be discussed biographically. (Would you want to be?!) So yes—to answer your original question, it willmention a supervisor, but it will be just that: a mention. Cheers, ——Serial10:59, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Having said that, your GBooks link doesn't bring any results up for Taylor, so perhaps the culture was different in 1941 (obviously very likely, on reflection). But there's an updated version of the directory here. I can't see any preview or snippet, but you or others at RX might have better luck.Also, IIRC, they will digitise pages on request, depending on age and their imaginary copyright concerns: see [1], if you are willing to spend your hard-earned on it. ——Serial11:19, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you Serial Number 54129. I'm not looking for biographical details of either supervisor or student, just a confirmation of the fact that Taylor was the supervisor. Searching for the full thesis title brings up the Retrospective Index to Theses of Great Britain and Ireland you linked to, but adding "Taylor" again does not give any results, so I'm not super hopeful. I've been unable to find the thesis in the Cambridge library catalog, but I do guess it exists. On a positive note, at least I got non-RS confirmation for my query (GI Taylor was the advisor of RM Morris) from RM Morris' student, David Edmunds. —Kusma (𐍄·𐌺) 11:54, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Serial Number 54129, this is a database that, while not publicly editable, does take input from the public, so some of the data they use could be based on rumours. (My own entry was written by myself). So I am not comfortable using them as a fully reliable source (for statements in Wikipedia's voice). But I have informed them of the thesis year and full title, and asked what their source for the information was, so maybe that will help. —Kusma (𐍄·𐌺) 12:12, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Kusma, have you reached out to the Cambridge libraries? They might be able to both track down the thesis, and check for mentions of Taylor. I have had success with a very similar question in the past: a librarian at Berkeley tracked down Caroline Brady's Ph.D. thesis and provided the scan found here, confirming Brady's use of the long form of her name. --Usernameunique (talk) 04:29, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks to all, especially Usernameunique and Pbrks. A very helpful Cambridge librarian not only sent me a scan of the abstract and of the catalogue card, but also looked at the dissertation itself and told me it says 'This dissertation has been written during the last three years, while working for the first year at Cardiff under the supervision of Prof. G.H. Livens, and at Cambridge under the supervision of Prof. G.I. Taylor. To both my best thanks are due for much kind encouragement and advice', which is exactly what I was looking for (there's also a confirmation of the thesis advisor in the Cambridge University Reporter, No.3239, Vol.LXX No.26, Tuesday 12 March 1940, p.631). I can live without a scan of these things, so I think I'm happy now and will mark this as resolved. Pbrks, if you do have unexpected success with the EthOS service, please let me know! —Kusma (𐍄·𐌺) 20:58, 16 April 2021 (UTC){{resolved}}[reply]

For Messiah_Part_III#Part_III_movements. Now this might be a though one. For the first one, the snippet I get on page 84 (featured in "riccardo+primo"+AND+"I+know" this google search), which reads: In addition , Handel practiced recycling before it became a secular religion ; Riccardo Primo , for example , has one aria that prefigures “ I know that my redeemer liveth , ” familiar from Messiah , and the final ensemble is almost identical to that. Similarly, the Händel-Beiträge (same search, second result) has 19 - 35 , voice Soprano Larghetto 20 I know that my Re - - deem - er liv - eth , and that he shall stand 30 - at the lat . ... and in Messiah ( 1741 ) – the last and most glorious transformation - we see the second phrase from Riccardo Primo recast ..., seemingly also referring to this re-working of previous material for this one aria. Hopefully, both of these can be used as a better source to the one I've put in the article currently (which appears to be a self-published one - well informed, and clearly useful information, with musical examples which make it clear for someone who can read music, but the name doesn't strike me as a well known musicologist so I'd rather have higher quality sources if possible).
Hello everyone. I would greatly appreciate the following journal article, which I will use to rewrite the Veronica Clare article. Apologies in advance if I had requested this article in the past, but for whatever reason, I cannot find it on my computer or in my past emails.

Same Google Books problem of some pages not showing in preview. Specifically, I would like the complete entry in the book on the painting Foxes as well as (if possible) the complete entry on the earlier painting Four Foxes.
I am looking for three 18th-century (so clearly public domain) articles published in the Hartford (Conn.) Courant about the case of Hannah Ocuish, a twelve-year-old girl who was hanged for murder in Connecticut on December 20, 1786. Ocuish is believed to be the youngest person ever put to death in the United States. These are among the few contemporary accounts I can track down with much accuracy.
I unfortunately don't have the article's names or page numbers (but I think each issue of the newspaper is only four pages), but this retrospective published in 2014 provides helpful quotations for all three articles.
The first requested article is an account of the crime, published on July 31, 1786 [4]. The 2014 retrospective quotes from this article:
"The head and body were mangled in a shocking manner, the back and one arm broken, and a number of heavy stones placed on the body, arms and legs," The Courant wrote in a July 31, 1786, story.
The second requested article is apparently an account of Ocuish's trial, published on October 30, 1786 [5]. The 2014 retrospective quotes from this article:
"You have killed, and that in a barbarous and cruel manner, an innocent, harmless and helpless child — a child that could not possibly, from its tender years, have injured or done you any harm, or given you any just cause of resentment," the judge said. "And in the perpetration of this shocking deed, you have discovered such evidence of premeditated malice, and marks of such a mischievous and guileful discretion, in your attempts of concealment and endeavors to make it have the appearance as though it was the effect of accident, and not of violence."
The third requested article is an account of Ocuish's hanging, published on December 25, 1786 [6]. The 2014 retrospective quotes from this article:
"She seemed greatly afraid when at the gallows, and said but little to anyone," The Courant's Dec. 25, 1786, story read. "She thanked the Sheriff for his kindness, and launched into the eternal world."
(add) There seems to have been a fourth article on the court proceeding, published October 6, 1786, [7], which may also be helpful in editing the article. Unfortunately, I have no quotes or title to help find the exact page; only a citation to the newspaper issue of that date. TJRC (talk) 02:15, 21 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Sangdeboeuf: I know Google Preview can be fickle but I can see the context for footnote 21 on page 232 here: [8]. As a practical matter, affirmative action was a far lower priority for them in day-to-day organizing and argument than wagering the cold war abroad and attacking the welfare state at home. In point of fact, the toll of the policy was not large, either, because so-called reverse discrimination occurred on an inconsequential scale. Of those cases that reached the courts, presumably the strongest, one later Labor Department Study found that "several were brought by whites or males who were less qualified than the females for minorities who obtained the position."[21] The endnote itself appears on p. 410 here: [9]21. Paul Burnstein, Discrimination, Jobs, and Politics: The Struggle for Equal Employment Opportunity in the United States since the New Deal (Chicago, 1985), 162; Alfred W.

I had made a request here, on this amazing WP resource, back on 9/8/2020. It remained unresolved back then (Archive 96 of RX), and so I made an inquiry yesterday about its status, wondering if the re-activation of the thread/section on the Archive would trigger any response from the board. Well, I guess it doesn't. So I am now trying to reactivate that old request here.
Bear in mind, again please, that this should be a very easy item to scan (14 small folio pages in all!), for anybody with access to these resources. I am wondering if that would be possible/feasible now?
