I would appreciate it if someone could provide a copy of this article. I think anyone with access to proquest's historic newspaper archives should have access.

Sources for Elias Abraham Rosenberg
Turkienicz, A. (1999, Sep 09). Hawaii's Jewish presence: Life and faith amid sun, sea. Canadian Jewish News, pp. 42–43.
"Rabbi Magid pointed out that Temple Emanu-El houses a Torah and pointer that were brought to Hawaii from San Francisco in 1886 by Elias Abraham Rosenberg, who then presented them to King Kalakaua. A plaque on the temple's walls states that Rosenberg ingratiated himself with the king and became something of a royal soothsayer."
Kramer, L. (2011, Aug 11). Sunshine and Judaism on Oahu. Canadian Jewish News, pp. 37.
"One of the reasons people come here is to escape," explains Alice Tucker, 78, a member of Temple EmanuEl, Oahu's Reform synagogue. Tucker and her husband settled permanently in Oahu in 1961 and raised their three children on the island. But there were Jews in Oahu as early as the 1850s, traders from England, Germany and the United States.
One of them was Elias Abraham Rosenberg of San Francisco, who arrived in Hawaii in 1886 with a Torah scroll and a silver filigreed yad in his luggage. Though his stay on the island was only six months, Rosenberg made quite the impression on the reigning monarch, King Kalakaua. He spent time teaching the king to read Hebrew and gained the monarch's trust.
Political unrest on the island prompted Rosenberg to leave in June 1887, but prior to his departure, he and the king exchanged gifts. The king received the Torah scroll and yad, while Rosenberg left Hawaiian shores with a royal golden medallion and a silver cup. Rosenberg died a month later, but over the years that followed, the scroll and yad gradually made their way to Temple Emanu-El, where they remain to this day, safely ensconced in a glass cabinet.

The different national editions of that bookstore omit somewhat different pages from the online version, though they all seem to omit pp.385-6. If those aren't critical, compare the domains (.co.uk vs .com vs .ie vs .ca vs .com.au vs .co.nz vs .co.za) and you'll find all the rest of that chapter between them. If those two pages are critical it looks at OCLC318280808 that most university libraries will have it.

Ah, thanks again GabrielF, you've found the right burgher(!) but actually it's the use of the word "citizen" here that I'm trying to penetrate, in connection with burghers: it seems anachronistic to describe 18th century burghers in the Cape Colony as citizens, since they were on "company land" belonging to the Dutch East India Company. I'm wondering if they might have been enfranchised as citizens by the company somehow, or perhaps they were contracted to the company, rather than, at an opposite extreme, perhaps merely tenants, at the company's whim. All help gratefully received! :o) Nortonius (talk) 16:29, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I see what you mean. I also see that you also have some older requests regarding Reculver that I forgot about. Let me see what I get you for both this request and Reculver. GabrielF (talk) 16:45, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I skimmed the book and it looks like this was a somewhat complicated question and van der Merwe starts out using the term "free burgher" on page 1 without explicitly defining it. It looks like the free burghers lived under some stringent restrictions - the company defined what they could and couldn't grow, what prices their crops would sell for, etc. As to your specific question about land ownership, van der Merwe says on page 51:
“
The first free burghers at the Cape received in full ownership as much land as they could bring under cultivation within three years. The company fairly faithfully pursued this principle of allocating private land intended for agriculture until the end of the seventeenth century. Such land was later surveyed and mapped, and the owners could lease it, sell it or bequeath it. The free burghers, however, kept livestock as well as practiced agriculture. Naturally, they could not maintain their livestock on their small individual farms, yet the government had made no provision for private grazing. In imitation of the common pasturage system, so familiar in Europe and also in vogue in certain parts of Holland, it was declared that the colonists could use the "entire country" as grazing land.
”
I've uploaded the first 60 pages of the book here. Note that its 100MB. That should give you a much better sense of the chronology and the specific rights of the burghers. There's a lot of stuff, especially in the first 12 or so pages, about the company trying to prevent burghers from doing anything other than agriculture and about the burghers really struggling to make a living under the restrictive rules. Also note that the English translation was published in the 90s but the original material is from the 30s.GabrielF (talk) 21:55, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm interested in getting a copy of Wikipedia on my personal laptop for my personal research, is there any way to get a dump of the articles or do I really have to do it article by article? My preferred format is the format that comes out when you convert to PDF for printing. Please E-mail me at setian _ warcaster [[[[[@]]]]] hushmail . com (Sorry for reformatting that so wierd, I acknowledged the warning that informed me of incoming spam). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This is not the best place to ask this question. The Wikimedia Foundation, which runs Wikipedia, produces regular data dumps. You can find more information at: [132]. If you can't find what you're looking for there, I would recommend either using the mailing list or IRC channels listed on that page. GabrielF (talk) 02:22, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In Japan, there is a national masturbation day. Many websites boast about May being International Masturbation Month in which, among other activities, people are encouraged to get involved in masturbate-a-thons, various forms of self-loving, and mutual sexual play. Additionally, there are a plethora of internationally-based websites that discuss everything from female and male masturbatory techniques to the best kinds of sex toys to use during sexual self play....
Thank you. Though I already had full access to the text through my local library's online catalogue. It just didn't have any source information except for the copyright. Brambleclawx15:25, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm looking for an article appearing in volume 2, number 2, of History Scotland, a magazine published in 2000. The particular article appears on pages 17-22, titled "Glorious victory? The Battle of Largs, 2 October 1263", authored by Derek Alexander, Tim Neighbour, and Richard Oram.
In 2005, Oram stated that the article is "the most recent detailed analysis of the [Battle of Largs]". This article would be useful to me with the various medieval Hebridean-Manx articles I'm working on.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 11:14, 10 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I've been expanding our article on Hiram Wesley Evans and there are three journal articles that I think would help finish off the expansion. If someone with JSTOR access could help me with these, that would be much appreciated. (I'm going to be very glad to get the research phase of this project over with!)

Hi, I would like to make an article on the genus Peachella. There is a very recent article, but it is pay per view. I would very much appreciate if someone could provide it to me. Here are the details:
I would like to create a new article on Soomaspis, the only genus of the Liwiidae without an article. I hope that someone can help me to a copy/free access to:

Does anyone have this book by Maurice Rajsfus (available in French only) -- LHarmattan (1987), ISBN978-2858028610? I am interested in the interview with Nissan Rilov, "Je suis un Juif Palestinien", which appears on pages 239-253 of the book, and would be very ggrateful if someone could scan and email me these pages. RolandR (talk)22:08, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I've downloaded the scan; but before removing it you may want to notify Tiamut, who also expressed an interest in this, and who I believe speaks much better French than I do. RolandR (talk)18:13, 14 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I downloaded it and will post a point form translation in my user space in the weeks to come. I'm sorry I can't do it earlier. Swamped in real life.Tiamuttalk16:49, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Dilly, P. N.; Nixon, M. (2009). "Growth and development of Taonius megalops (Mollusca: Cephalopoda), and some phases of its life cycle". Journal of Zoology. 179: 19–83. doi:10.1111/j.1469-7998.1976.tb03227.x.
Looks like the Journal of Zoology article was originally published in 1976, the 2009 date refers to when it was put online. I don't have online access to it, but can get a scan given some time. GabrielF (talk) 18:17, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ah. That explains the use of the older synonym (Taonius instead of Teuthowenia). Thanks for the Streenstrup and guess we'll have to pass on the scan. The 1976 publishing date might actually be good news as it means the newer articles I currently have are actually more up-to-date with regards to the life cycle. Thanks again!-- OBSIDIAN†SOUL19:41, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Bee Vang finds vehicle for his acting talent." Providence Journal. January 26, 2009.
The URL was projo.com/movies/content/lb_Bee_Vang_01-26-09_TVD0B0S_v9.3307a0f.html , but it seems to redirect to the homepage, and there is no web.archive.org copy
On this page, it gives a quote from the article: "A week before shooting began in Detroit last summer, Vang learned he had won the role..." I found this Associated Press article containing that sentence. I think Providence Journal was just running the Associated Press article. Goodvac (talk) 17:44, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I would like to request an assistance with regard to a dispute we have here: [200] I have a dispute with a user who doubts the existence of an article which was published in The Independent on March 5, 1992, because he is unable to find it by google search on the newspaper's website. However the website does not provide the full archive from 1992. I accessed this article via Lexis-Nexis, and in fact I posted a full copy at talk (temporarily, I will remove it in a few days due to copyright issues). Now this user needs to go to a library to do his own research. Assuming good faith, I believe he is unable to access a database like Lexis-Nexis, so I would like to ask someone who has an access to Lexis-Nexis to do an independent verification and confirm that the article could be found in that database. The name of the article is as follows:
The Independent, March 5, 1992. Helen Womack. Azeris hunted down and shot in the forest; Refugees and fresh graves confirm massacre by Armenians.
I have verified that article exists in the Lexis-Nexis database and is identical to the version you posted here. FYI: you posted the full text there on 9 March, and it is now 19 March, so please remove it from the talk page. If you need to refer back to it, just use a link to the old revision.

Thank you, Gabriel, this is very helpful. I've downloaded both.
As for September, yes, those were fulfilled. I thanked the donors by email, but I should have left a note here that the request was resolved. I'll remember to do that in future. Thanks again! SlimVirgin(talk)16:54, 21 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I emailed Guinness to confirm the standing record for the longest canoe race. They confirmed by email, but I didn't ask for a ref. edition or page number. I can't find the record in their online site which may be limited. It is for this article, Centennial Voyageur Canoe Pageant.
