Do you know anything about how the circular numbers work? My library seems to have many volumes of the ICAO circular from 1948-1988, but I'm a little confused about the volume numbering. Does anything in the catalog here [1] look like what you're looking for?GabrielF (talk) 18:33, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like HOLLIS HL0UAY is the volume he's after. The years 1959-1962 were Circulars 58-63. Somewhere in there should be the specific entry. I'd guess it is at volume 59, issue number 54, pages 240-245, but ymmv. The "AN" seems to designate that it is from the ICAO's "Air Navigation" bureau.

Do you think the slash in " 96a 765.8 1959/1962 (58/63)" means 58 through 63 and not 58 and 63? Through seems more likely to me but it's a bit confusing since I've never seen them use slashes like that before. GabrielF (talk) 21:16, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Could be. It looks as if the numbers only go up over time, so it may mean that during the years 1959 to 1962 they published issues 58 to 63, i.e. they followed an irregular publication schedule. You might try Hollis' "ask a librarian" function and give them the full "ICAO Accident Digest, Circular 59-AN/54 (240-245)". No doubt they could quickly eyeball HL0UAY and tell you if it contains that entry. LeadSongDogcome howl!21:52, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is a request transferred from de:WP:Bibliotheksrecherche/Anfragen. I would have ordered this book by myself for one of our editors, however it is not available in the German national library system. I would therefore have to order it from a foreign library for 20 € (still no comparison to the original price of this work). I would be very thankful if anyone were able to make a scan of this work. The editor who requested it is a highly productive author and the results of his work would also be a valuable basis for any English articles on this topic. I know this is a lot of work. I would return the favour at any time, please let me know when you need a paper or book from Germany. Best regards, Toter Alter Mann (talk) 23:59, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings from Germany :) I'm expanding the german film article de:Peggy Sue hat geheiratet to an excellent level, but a lot of source material aren't available in my country or at google. I just need the Peggy Sue parts, not the hole books or papers. I would be also happy, if you also could find some references to themes like the connection between the songs and the movie, that the movie crew restored the Santa Rosa High Shool (because i couldn't find anything except the engl. wiki) and a serious reference, that Kathleen Turner replaced Debra Winger in Body Heat (because she also did it in Peggy Sue and Romancing the Stone). And I would appreciate additional source material i never thought of (interviews/scientific articles - the language doesn't matter) Just add the Information to my notices at de:Benutzer:Critican.kane/Spielwiese or send me an wiki-mail. And in the first place a BIG Thanks to everybody, who efforts to help me. (Sry, for my bad english :))

Not sure about that but JSTOR126589 may be of some use, as may [6]. I'm sure you're already aware of this collection. At this transcript of the 22 July 1959 Eisenhower press conference, it includes
Now, as far as the resolution about the captive nations, this was a resolution by the Congress, asked me to issue a proclamation, which I did; and asked the United States to conduct ceremonies in memory of the plight of such peoples. 1
1 The Joint Resolution (S.J. Res. 111), designating the third week of July as "Captive Nations Week," is Public Law 86-90 (73 Stat. 212). On July 17 the President issued Proclamation 3303 "Captive Nations Week, 1959" (24 F.R. 5773), urging the people of the United States "to study the plight of the Soviet-dominated nations and to recommit themselves to the support of the just aspirations of the peoples of those captive nations."
Accordingly, we might try a search for "73 Stat. 212" or "24 F.R. 5773". The former finds this book which has LBJ's consequent proclamations. It also finds JSTOR2203718 which mentions it in passing under the title "Repealing the Cold War". Hope some of this helps.LeadSongDogcome howl!23:25, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It appears here that there are multiple variations on the cataloguing data for that work. I've left a comment at worldcat that may lead to consolidation of the records, but in any case there are many libraries that seem to hold it. Gbooks seems to frequently put PDold works up in snippet view, for no evident reason. It appears that the gbook id which Sitush is looking for is actually jU0MAQAAMAAJ, which refers to the 1868 edition. LeadSongDogcome howl!04:16, 26 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The works at Gorton are intended for the manufacture of rails, bars, plates, tyres, and forgings of Bessemer steel. It is purposed to erect in them four pairs of 5-ton converters. The area inclosed by the walls is of a rectangular shape, adjoining on one side a line of railway from which two sidings lead into the large yard for storing raw material — this yard being 560 feet long and 180 feet wide.
The workshops are designed as a rectangular block of buildings and sheds, 480 feet long and 410 feet in total width, there being eight spans of 60 feet each. The roofs are carried upon longitudinal girders supported by...

This is said to be particularly effective when "white iron," or iron containing a small percentage of carbon, is worked in the converter. The supply of additional heat to the charge during the period of desilicatization maintains the mass in a state of sufficient fluidity until the combustion of the carbon contained in the iron itself is so far advanced as to require no further supply of heat. The spectroscope has been tried at Neuberg by Professor Liellegg, but the results have not been favourable; at least, the employment of the spectroscope has not been introduced for practical purposes."[missing text]

It has grown up by successive additions and alteration, and the machineery and plant are not always in the most suitable relative position. The internal locomotion is, therefore, somewhat difficult and inconvenient. The most important object in this forge is a steam hammer of 16 tons head, and about 8 feet fall, constructed at a recent date by Mr. Haswell, of Vienna.

The natural course of the slow growth of works, most frequently commenced with limited means, and very often without expectation of the amount of future extensions which ultimately become necessary, is not favourable to convenience and beauty of general arrangement. Changes in methods of manufacture, increased machinery, and increased plant, as they come into use one after the other, must be accommodated within a space already occupied, and subdivided by the existing arrangement of the works; and so it happens that the appearance of the majority of our great works is that of an agglomeration of buildings, machinery, and appliances of all kinds, strewed over an irregular..."

This is fantastic. I saw the developments a few hours ago but hung off commenting while I tried a little more digging myself. Dare I say that I tried getting in there using a proxy? The problem remained the same: the GBooks metadata has it down as a copyrighted/snippet source, even though it clearly is not. You guys - incredible. Worldcat suggests that there is a fully copy not too far away from me but I simply cannot get to libraries at the moment. Obviously, the detail is too much for the article but I can wangle a fair bit in there & still keep things in focus. Barnstars all round, I feel. Do they do a Sherlock barnstar? I shall look.

Viewpoint Music: Joan Armatrading Hopes 'The Key' Finds Success
Joan Armatrading, comfortably clad in a sweat shirt and jeans, entered the small room inside A&M Records' publicity department. She was nearly an hour late for her 1:00 pm interview. It wasn't that she takes pleasure in being fashionably late, or is inconsiderate of other people's time. Rather, it was merely a chain reaction— her earlier interviews ran late, putting her behind schedule. Who knows what time she got to her 6:00 pm appointment.
Armatrading, a singer/songwriter with distinctive, emotional vocals and sensitive, personal lyrics, was visiting her record company prior to an LA concert appearance— one stop on her current worldwide tour. Although she has been around for 10 years, and has nine albums to her credit, her show didn't sell out. Still, the cult following who did attend her performance enjoyed it, as did the critics.
But then, Armatrading has always been a favorite of the critics. The New York Times once called her "the best unknown pop star in the business," while Playboy called her "one of the most interesting ladies in music." Newsweek described her as "heroic... irresistable," while the Boston Globe suggested "In a sense, what Joan Baez was to the politically active '60s, Joni Mitchell was to the introspective, apolitical '70s... If the yet-undefined '80s are still up for grabs— and they probably are— a strong vote should go to another Joan... Joan Armatrading."
Her problem has been exposure, more specifically, radio airplay. For the St. Kitt's-born, English-bred songstress, radio airplay is the key.
The Key is also the name of her current album, which, unlike most of her previous works, is getting airplay. On the whole, it's more electric and punchier than the fare to which Armatrading fans have become accustomed. Three songs in particular, Drop the Pilot, Rosie, and Call Me Names have been added to several local FM album-oriented rock stations.
"You have to be played on me radio," Armatrading said. "They're (the public) not going to know you if they don't play it.
"Some of the things I hear on the radio, I wonder, 'If they played that, why not me?' Maybe they just don't like me," she said with a laugh.
Actually, Armatrading, whose strong alto voice and unusual style differ from just about everybody's, realizes her sound is, well, not exactly the kind of material normally heard over the airwaves. In fact, she jokes about it, although she realizes it isn't very funny.
"The first time I heard myself over the radio," she recalled, "I thought it sounded kind of strange, and not just because it was me. It didn't fit in with what was played before it, or after it, but I liked it. "It's just a matter of listening to it. Maybe people listening now will have the same reaction I had 10 years ago. If they listen, maybe they will realize that it can fit in."
Listening to a Joan Armatrading record is an acquired taste, something akin to eating squid. Both can be hard to digest, but are considered delicacies.
The third of six children, Joan was born on December 9, 1950 on the Caribbean island of St. Kitt's. Her father was a St. Kitt's native, while her mother was from Antigua. In early 1958, the family moved to Birmingham, England.
Armatrading taught herself to play the guitar, absorbing such disparate influences as Jim Reeves, English pop star Tommy Steele, Nat King Cole, and Van Morrison. She wrote her first song at age 14, and eventually began playing clubs in the Birmingham area. Her first album, Whatever's For Us, was released in 1973.
Although she is still trying to establish herself in the United States, Armatrading has a substantial following in Great Britain and Europe. To date, she has sold seven million records worldwide and earned more than 20 international gold records. "I would like to sell more records in America," she said, "not so people could look at me walking down the street and say, 'There's Joan Armatrading.' But I would like to walk down a street and hear someone singing my songs. That would be great.
With The Key, Armatrading may get her wish. Produced by Steve Lillywhite (Peter Gabriel, XTC, Siouxie and the Banshees, and U2) and Val Garay (Kim Carnes' Grammy-winning Bette Davis Eyes), the album is commercial-oriented.
"It took Bob Seger a long time to make it in America, and he lives here," Armatrading said. "It took him 10 years before he was an overnight success. I'm in that position now."
THE B SIDE
Joan Armatrading, The Key (A&M) — The husky vocals and sensitive lyrics of this commercially long-overdue introspective singer/songwriter has finally combined to form a package that may expose her to a mass audience. Side one opens with the controversial (I Love It When You) Call Me Names, a masochistic ditty the singer claims she wrote as a joke. The song is about a skinny, wimpy man who is having a fling with a big woman who frequently beats him up and calls him names. Sample the lyrics:
I can't wait to see you again
I know you 're gonna slap my face
You beat me up then beat me up again
And over and over and over and over...
Big woman and a short short man
And he loves it
When she beats his brains out
He's pecked to death
But he loves the pain
And he loves it
When she calls him names...
"I thought it would be sort of fun to write a song like that, and so far the American public has seen the humor in it," the singer said. In any event, there are other songs on the album not as free spirited as this, but just as catchy.
In fact, the first side of The Key is a delight. Foolish Pride and Drop the Pilot—the latter produced by Val Garay of Bette Davis Eyes fame—are instantly accessible, something Armatrading has lacked in previous works. Also worthwhile is What Do Boys Dream and the title track.
Thanks! I don't think the album sold quite as well as was promised in that article, but it's interesting nonetheless! I'll await the second one. Graham8714:05, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I wonder if anyone has access to any of the the following:
Adam, W. 1939a. "Cephalopoda Part I. Le genre Sepioteuthis Blainville, 1824". Siboga-Expeditie, Monographie (Leiden, E.J. Brill). LVa: 1–33, 1 pl.
Adam, W. 1954. "Cephalopoda Part III. Céphalopodes a l’exclusion des genres Sepia, Sepiella et Sepioteuthis". Siboga-Expeditie, Monographie (Leiden, E.J. Brill). LVc: 123–193, 3 pls.
The author is William Adam, a Belgian malacologist. LVa and LVc are 55a and 55c respectively. They're volume numbers as it is part of the Siboga-Expeditie series, a series of monographs on different taxa recovered from the Siboga Expedition. They're all published separately by E.J. Brill, I think. I've amended the original citations to make this clearer.
I can't get them here; there are only three copies listed on WorldCat (searching for "siboga 1939"/"siboga 1954" appears to get all the entries) of the first one, but more of the second. —innotata21:58, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It appears that LV denotes Monograph 55, "Cephalopoda", by Louis Joubin. Other monographs in the Siboga-Expeditie series can be seen here in the Biodiversity Heritage Library, also at this collection at the Internet Archive. It is apparent that the monographs are not in volume order. The back matter in each volume contains a list of earlier published monographs in the sequence. I've looked through several volumes, but didn't find the ones that contained monograph LVa or LVc. It may just be a matter of persistence. LeadSongDogcome howl!22:16, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Don't quite get the volume system, but the requested parts are from 1939 and 1954, and I think I can be fairly sure after looking through the listings that all of them on the Internet Archive/BHL are from before 1923 (out of copyright in the U.S.), and none of them are on Cephalopoda. —innotata22:23, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It is likely that Adam's publications are translations of earlier works in French by Joubin from the Siboga-Expiditie series, which seems to greatly predate Adam. LeadSongDogcome howl!23:41, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Adam's work is in French. :P He's Belgian, heh. It's definitely not a translation anyway from secondhand citations of it. The volumes may be "preallocated" based on the different collections from the Siboga Expedition. Anyway, I appreciate the efforts. I've already tried my google-fu on this and no luck. At this point I'm assuming it's likely to simply not be digitized yet.-- Obsidi♠nSoul23:49, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I do not seek full articles here, but only the complete bibliographical data, including issue number if any (such abbreviated refs are common in botany, as they are used outside bibliographies, but I need to expand them for Wikipedia use):
Anales del Instituto de Biologia de la Universidad nacional de Mexico (may be filed as "Anales del IBUNAM")
Matuda, 26: 60-62 (1955) (or possibly "Matsuda")
-----------, 30: 101 (1960)
Obermeyer, Bothalia 13: 436-439 (1981) (This is a South African journal)
The Anales (with various versions of serial title) is OCLC227167048, also OCLC646853570 and OCLC1641855. The latter has Hathitrust images that are searchable for v.24-25 1953-1954 and for v.25-26 1954-1955. Both those volumes have many hits when searched for "Matuda", or even for "Eizi Matuda", but none for Matsuda. I think the first author refers to es:Eizi Matuda, (a.k.a. Matsuda Eiji), the Japanese botanist.
Obermeyer is listed in the Kew index:<quote>Obermeyer AA. 1981 Notes on African plants. Commelinaceae. Two new species of Commelina. Bothalia 13. (3 - 4): 436 - 437 (1981) - illus. En C. bella, C. modesta. Geog=5 Systematics: ANGIOSPERMAE (COMMELINACEAE: COMMELINA) (KR, 198102430). </quote>
I know who the authors are. What I am hoping is the bibliographical information for the articles concerned (or at least a mean to access them). The details for Bothalia are very much appreciated, but I am afraid Hathitrust, which is nearly completely search-only on my end, is virtually useless.

The more information we have, the faster we can find the articles, it's that simple. The Hathitrust hits tell us what the spelling used in the articles was, and also provides one way (of many) to find the oclc number.
I did not think of checking with UdM for Webbia; I'm familiar with the libraries there (and knew they have the Anales), but the botanical one is REALLY not practical for me to get to (and I cannot work online there at all as I'm no longer a student), and I was hoping someone might be able to get the information more conveniently for everyone. Thanks for your help anyway. Guess I'll plan a trip there next time I have to go to Montreal. Circéus (talk) 22:18, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
But the mere analysis of libertinism, since it was carried out by a novelist with such a prodigious command of his medium and such a patient knowledge of the modes of love, was enough to condemn it and to play a large part in its destruction. 2 One must assume that Laclos knew what he was about...

Our article A tour thro' the whole island of Great Britain gives a number of sources for Defoe's 1724–1727 published tour. I am looking for a reliable on-line source to Volume 1: Letter 1: Volume 3 Part 3 in the original printed form. Specifically this passage: "FromLynn, ... so we came back to Ely, whose cathedral, standing in a level flat country, is seen far and wide; ... that it did not fall a hundred years sooner."[1] The Internet Archive does appear to have facsimiles of unknown editions of volumes 2 and 4[2] but not volume 1. Can anyone more familiar with this work and it's on-line sources assist? --Senra (Talk) 12:04, 11 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry but I did not explain very well it seems. The visionofbritain.org.uk is to a transcribed version; reliable yes, but it is not an original printed edition. Your Google Books digitization is from a facsimile of a printed edition but to a review only version in google (at least for me in the UK) so I cannot see the whole text; just a preview. Is there a full-view google book UK version or any other similar version of volume 1 letter 1 part 3 available? --Senra (Talk) 17:24, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oh I see. The book is in the public domain, so I don't know why Google wouldn't let UK users view it in full. I've uploaded the Google Books PDF to [109]. Click on "save" at the top to download the file. The link will expire in a year. Goodvac (talk) 18:36, 12 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am using the GBooks version of Aryans and British India' (2nd paperback edition, 2006, ISBN: 81-90-2272-1-1), here. I cannot see page 199 and (there is a well-known law for this) it would appear to be the most essential of the three pages I need. The relevant narrative starts on p. 198 and finishes on p. 200 - it is the page in the middle of this range that is blanked.
I can't find any other edition online, nor is there a copy in any library near to me. Can anyone see the "missing" page using GBooks elsewhere than in the UK?
Original publisher was University of California Press (1st edition: 1997); the version I am using is YODA Press (1st ed: 2004; 2nd ed: 2006). - Sitush (talk) 18:01, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm looking for a Hollywood Reporter article that is probably from 1993 or 1994. The subject would be an affirmative action program for Hispanic screenwriters that involved CBS and the Writer's Guild of America. It might also be referred to as a training program or a "special access" program. I'm specificly looking for an article that quotes screenwriter Fred Haines talking about how "one of the most effective union-busting tools has been the two-tier system ..." but any article on the subject is welcome.

Hi, I am particularly looking for the response of contemporary self-identifying agnostics - as well as modern reviews if they exist.
I read that there was quite a bit of controversy over his book on socialism and was wondering if there was a similar reaction to this one.

CorenSearchBot picked up duplication in Cognitive Tempo to The Times, but I can't view the page as it is for subscribers only. There's a possibility of a false positive, but I can't clear it without knowing. :/ Anybody here have access to the source? The page it is listed as matching is http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/health/, but I don't know if that link is to the specific page or to a section that updates daily. Not familiar with the way their website works! --Moonriddengirl(talk)18:15, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Its hard to prove a negative, but I searched LexisNexis for the phrase "cognitive tempo" appearing in the Times since 2009 and found a couple of mentions (a derisive article about a proposal to add "cognitive tempo disorder" to the DSM and a few letters to the editor about that article) but nothing that seemed like it would be a copyvio. The phrase "Matching Familiar Figures Test" did not appear in the Times in that period. GabrielF (talk) 19:03, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That page looks like one that updates daily, not of a specific article. However, I doubt that there is a copyvio—how did CorenSearchBot access that page without a password? Anyhow, I searched NewsBank ("Access U.K. & Ireland Newspapers" version) for "Cognitive Tempo", "MFFT", and "Matching Familiar Figures" (separately) in the past 30 days and found no hits. Goodvac (talk) 20:19, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have no idea how CorenSearchBot could have accessed the page. It's ways are mysterious to me. :D Thank you both for looking into it! I'll mark it as a false positive pending further evidence. --Moonriddengirl(talk)11:06, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I need somebody who can look at the article on "Expressionism" by David Fanning in that work to compare it to the content dump here. The article has been tagged as a copyright violation, and I can't clear it or confirm it as I don't have access to the source. I believe the specific entry may be in volume 8. Any help would be appreciated! --Moonriddengirl(talk)13:45, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
(Cross-posted from Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Classical_music) It's not Fanning's article from the current New Grove. I'm comparing them right now and see no correlation. To my eye it's someone's paper on musical expressionism, perhaps an advanced undergraduate or masters-level student. Note all the grammatical errors, "it's", and other infelicities. Using Google all I find are Wikipedia knockoffs, but it's been online for a long time. It is possible that the posting anon wrote it for Wikipedia, although it is rare to see a slab of new text that size. Antandrus (talk)15:28, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've uploaded the file here. Do you know whether it is now in the public domain?

It's copyright in the U.K. (the author died in 1965), and currently in the U.S., though it likely was public domain before the URAA, in which case it would be probably be copyright unconstitutionally—see Golan v. Holder. —innotata16:58, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, can anyone help me with a reference, and ideally text, for mention of stage coaching from the "Swan Inn" in Sturry, Kent, UK, to Herne Bay, Kent, in Pigot's National & Commercial Directory 1832-1834? Though, anything about this Swan Inn from Pigot's would be good. I was pointed to Pigot's after seeing it cited here. Thanks in advance. Nortonius (talk) 16:23, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the rapid response! Yes, that would be exactly the kind of thing, terrific - except I searched Google Books before coming here, and drew a blank for Kent (i.e. the Swan Inn you found is in Worcestershire). Hm! Thanks anyway. Nortonius (talk) 17:11, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I think I may have an explanation. It looks like different editions of the directory had different counties in them. This 1834 edition which is online does not have Kent. This edition from 1839 has Kent but its not online. I could request the 1839 edition and scan the relevant page, but probably not until after the 1st of the year. GabrielF (talk) 23:17, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks again Wee Curry Monster, but no, it's been "Sturry" since at least the 7th century! And GabrielF, that makes sense. Getting a scan for me would be wonderfully kind, and early next year would be soon enough! Forgive me if I'm stating the obvious, but of course I'd be grateful too if a scan were accompanied by the usual publication details, since it's not online. I'll be keeping an eye out here in case you manage to do that for me. Lovely. Nortonius (talk) 23:54, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
GabrielF, do you still mean to "scan the relevant page" from the 1839 edition of Pigot's for me? I don't mean to be a pest, but gawd knows I find it all too easy to lose track of things over the Xmas-New Year holidays, and I wouldn't blame you if you had too! :) Cheers. Nortonius (talk) 15:31, 3 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Would Historical Directories 1750–1919 be of any help? I have never used this web site before so I am unable to determine how good it is. I attempted to search within Kent for Sturry and although it seemed to return 88 hits, I was unable to make sense of the first few. If you succeed in making sense of this site, do let me know, as this site may be a useful resource for my own articles --Senra (Talk) 15:18, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it looks like that to me too! Thanks for the tip, though I've not yet found mention of coaching in the way the earlier suggestion did for an inn in Worcs.; and, I'm finding searching the site a right pain! Otherwise, very useful. Nortonius (talk) 16:13, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, that's great, thanks again GabrielF - hopefully, with a look at Pigot's, I'll be able to set stage coaches running through northern Kent again, if only in the world of WP! :) Nortonius (talk) 22:08, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I've scanned the sections on Canterbury and Herne's Bay in Pigot's 1939 edition covering Kent, Surrey and Sussex. The Canterbury entry includes Sturry. There is a Swan tavern listed in Sturry, but it is not listed as an Inn. There is a fairly long list of stagecoaches and vans, but no vans that go to Herne Bay seem to originate in Surrey as opposed to Canterbury. Here is the link: [178]. Its a 31MB file, I chose to scan at high quality because the print is small and 19th-century quality.GabrielF (talk) 20:58, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
