The Resource Request is where you can request information on a subject or request a specific article, if you lack a source for a Wikipedia article.

Instructions & tips:

• A request can be an open question for more information on a specific subject, or you can ask for a specific article or work you have a reference for but lack the full text of. The resulting article or data will be emailed to you.
• All kinds of sources are possible here: any newspaper or magazine article, searches in a commercial full-text newspaper or journal databases, searches in academic journal databases, encyclopedia articles, court decisions, laws, academic publishings or research results, biographies, etc.
• To place a request: start a new section at the bottom of the 'New requests' section and sign with your username or leave your email address. Request specific titles, dates, or a combination of search keywords. You may also specify which database or work to search in. Add as much detail as possible, it speeds up the whole process.
• Once a request has been fulfilled, add a note to that effect to the request, so that the work won't be duplicated. The request will than be moved to the 'Filled request' section.
• It's also best to keep an eye on your request on this page. Questions and remarks will be posted in your request section.
• Anyone whose library provides access to a relevant database or to an extensive (academic) archive, or anyone who has a personal collection of resources can fulfill requests.

Hi guys, i'm ElessarTheWoodElf from the italian Wiki (here you can see my user page: [1]); first of all, sorry for my bad english ^_^. I'm here because in the Italian Wiki we're having a discussion on the definition of "Guitar hero" (it's the same or not saying guitar hero or shredder? That's the question), and I found some old news about an article appeared on "Classic Rock" (for example this one: [2]).

Attempting to establish notability for this man as an author and/or as a religious leader (Church of Divine Science, Los Angeles). I am trying to find some older newspaper articles circa 1945-1978, probably from the LA Times or other newspapers of that geography (I think the Daily News and another main paper also served Los Angeles in those days).

[edit] The History of Countries

Does anyone have any links/books/papers on the history of countries (or any country overview topic, as I am building up Country, how they formed, how the borders are defined etc. I've tried searching on google/google books/etc but it is just such a common word that I cannot find anything relevant or useful. I'm sorry if this is too broad, feel free to tell me if it is. I can be emailed if that is easier. Thankyou very much. Foxy Loxy ^Pounce! 11:21, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Well certainly for those of us who watch here to provide individual articles and papers on request, that's way too broad. If I was looking for information, I'd be trying Google with "borders of countries", "definition of borders", "history country border", "country border negotiation", "border treaty" - and variations thereof. For "country", you'd also want to substitute "nation", "nation state", etc. etc. Anyway, way too broad for me, but maybe others will have some comments. Not sure if you could get anything better at the Drawing board or the Reference desks. A trip to your local library to ask the staff there, and a call/email to someone involved in geography and/or history at your local advanced learning institution might turn up some good stuff too.

I'm doing a rewrite and I'm trying to set up an awards section.

It looks like no one bothered to write up the results, but I doubt that's true. All I need is a mention. Can anyone help out? - Mgm|^(talk) 11:16, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

I found a reference for the award. I will paste the ref below, put it in the article if it is helpful. Not sure if this is available without a subscription, I used Factiva, the full text for the entry was:

Dannii Minogue found a bit of X-factor as she hosted the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards at London's Excel centre. Britain's Got Talent took centre stage, picking up the gong for Favourite TV Show while George Sampson was crowned Favourite Winner. Signature also performed their Thriller routine..

I did not find a reference for what he danced at the show, perhaps there is another source, or that fact is unverifiable.

[edit] Help dating 18th century French painter Antoine Graincourt

Hi friends. I'm attempting to resolve the dating inconsistency in the Antoine Graincourt article and a simple google search is not cutting it. Could someone who has access to an academic library or database help? The article says in the text Graincourt's dates are 1699-1753, but also places him in the category 1748 births and 1823 deaths.

Google searches suggest that the dates 1699-1753 are probably wrong: being actually the birth and death dates for one of the people Graincourt painted, Bertrand-François Mahé de La Bourdonnais. For example, see this biography of Mahé at Biographie.net ("né à Saint-Malo le 11 février 1699 et mort à Paris le 10 novembre 1753") or this museum page from a museum that has Mahé's portrait in its collection, and attributes the 1699-1753 dates to Graincourt, not Mahé. Google also turned up one source for Graincourt completing a painting after 1753: a copy of Hyacinthe Rigaud's portrait of the Marechal de Tourville; the copy is said to have been made in 1780-82

However, even if 1699-1753 is wrong, google can't help me confirm that 1748-1823 is correct. Those dates don't seem to have any online source except Wikipedia and Wikipedia mirrors/copies. Plus, Graincourt paintings include people who died before 1748, such as François Louis de Rousselet, Marquis de Châteaurenault (1637-1716) and René Duguay-Trouin (1673-1736) – though I suppose those could also be copies of earlier paintings. I hope all this is enough info. Thanks! WikiJedits (talk) 15:02, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

I have found support for the 1748 birth date through google books. See here; likewise (with considerable overlap) for a year of death in 1823 [3]. I find no support for 1699 ([4]); hits are coincidental. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 15:55, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Thank you very much. BTW, do you have access to the full versions of any of those books? While most simply give his dates in a one-line list-type entry, these two look like they might include some actual biographical text that we could use to expand the article – if we could access it.

1. Vivre et mourir à Saint-Etienne aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles‎ - Page 70 … Antoine Graincourt n'a pas laissé un souvenir important, selon les critiques « son dessin est ... Antoine Graincourt commence sa série de tableaux en 1780. ...

For example: Assamese kinship. Originally published in 1972, this book has been frequently republished by the National Book Trust (a 2000 paperback carries the ISBN of 8123701454) I'm hoping to find somebody who can access to the book to compare the text in that specific article to see if it infringes.

[edit] Ányos Jedlik and the Dynamo

The dynamo article has a claim that it was invented by Anyos Jedlik. This has been labelled as dubious. This book,

• Andrew L. Simon, Made in Hungary: Hungarian contributions to universal culture, p207, Simon Publications LLC, 1998 ISBN 0966573420

makes the same claim and contains in its bibliography the paper,

• GK Cwierawa, "Ányos Jedlik-wengierski pioner elektrotechniki", Kwartalnik Historiki Nauk i Techniki, No 2, 1971

which I assume is the source of Simon's information. I am not looking for a copy of the whole paper (I don't read Hungarian anyway) merely the citation for Jedlik's original publication of his work (assuming that there is one). Thanks. SpinningSpark 13:32, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

There doesn't seem to be a citation in the article.--droptone (talk) 21:02, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for that, please leave it up until user Edison has seen it as well who is also interested. I am surprised you have it in English, presumably that is a translation not the original? SpinningSpark 02:10, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

That's from Made in Hungary..., not the original Hungarian article.--droptone (talk) 07:47, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Oh I see, in that case you have misunderstood, I can already read Made in Hungary on google books preview. It does in fact have a source (although not inline in the text, it's on page 404) which I have quoted above. What we are trying to do is trace the source of Simon's claim since we doubt it is true. I am looking for the Hungarian paper he quotes, not the book itself. Even that is not the end of it since a 1971 paper author could not possibly have direct experience of an 1828 event, that paper itself must have had a source which is what I am ultimately trying to establish. SpinningSpark 10:00, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Seems it went unpublished:

His experimental machine made in 1861 had a special feature of technological importance; namely, the principle of self-excitation, in other words, the dynamo principle first appeared in the operating instructions Jedlik wrote for this machine. This machine was only used as a demonstration device, and Jedlik did not publish the new construction.[7]

citing Verebely (1931), "Ányos Jedlik A Hungarian Pioneer of Electricity", Elektrotechnika 24, pp. 213-26 and Singer, H., and Hall, W. (1958), A History of Technology, vol. V, part 2.10, p. 187. Apparently the operating instructions appeared in an inventory for the university. The "1828 event" you mention is i think one of 292 experiments listed in 1829 which concludes: "an electromagnetic wire can create continuous rotating movement around a similarly electromagnetic wire", a DC motor w/ commutator, not a dynamo.—eric 16:17, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

One user has inserted claims in several articles tht Jedlik invented the electric motor, the electric motor with electromagnets for the stationary and rotating parts along with the commutator, the electric vehicle, and several other things. I have asked in the Electric motor talk page for a good reference showing what year he publicly demonstrated and published any such inventions, and have not gotten a satisfactory response. A photo of a museum model is shown in the article, which is claimed to be from 1828, with many modern features, but with uncertain provenance. There are many cases of museums having illustrative models constructed in modern times, but falsely claimed to be the device constructed many years earlier. The above sounds like there was an inventory at the university dating to 1861, which is the first documentation, if not publication. This is a pretty weak claim, given that others had published publicly demonstrated, been written up in the scientific and popular press and taken out patents for "electromagnetic wire rotating around electromagnetic wire" long before 1861. A college teacher could be expected to build demo devices to illustrate what was going on ion the field, and it is too easy to attribute decades of developments to the first year Jedlik did any demo of electromagnetism in his classes, back in 1828 or whenever. It sounds like a backdated claim. More translation of what he wrote, and clear statement of when he wrote it, is essential to understand Jedlik's role. Recent web pages or popular articles which simply assert, without references, that Jedlik "invented the electric motor in 1828" are not convincing when other claimants have lots of public presentation of their work at the actual time of their inventions. Edison (talk) 16:43, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

I don't think we need to try and convince anyone here at the library. We just need to say what documents we want them to go find. SpinningSpark 18:23, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

So you are looking for #290 from an 1829 notebook which details 292 experiments used as demonstrations in his classes for the motor, and an 1861 university inventory that contains operating instructions for the dynamo. Or is it enough to show that he did not publish on either?—eric 22:52, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Inter Press Service article

Hi all, I'm looking for the fulltext of "AFRICA-POLITICS: RWANDA'S REVENGE", IPS News Wire, A. Lama, Jul. 11, 1996 as previewed here: [9]. Highbeam offers a 7-day free trial, but a few screens in they casually ask for a credit card number "just in case" - that's usually where I click the X to make screen disappear now. I'm trying to straighten out just what the heck the neologism "Lima syndrome" actually means, so if anyone wants to research the term more generally, excluding the thousands of Wikipedia mirrors, that would be great too. It's a bit of a long shot, but if anyone can pull it off, most appreciated! Franamax (talk) 21:27, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Wall Street Journal

Hello, I'm looking for the following

• quote="Where [The Epoch Times] and [NTDTV] are controversial is in their unwillingness to identify themselves as having any association with the group, despite ample evidence to the contrary."
• author=Susan V. Lawrence
• title= Falun Gong Adds Media Weapons In Struggle With China's Rulers
• work=Wall Street Journal (Eastern edition)
• date=April 14, 2004
• page=B.2I

So far I looked at google for the content and for the title

I emailed wsj.com and got the following response: "Wall Street Journal Online subscribers can access WSJ.com articles that have appeared within the past 2 years. Through the advanced search feature, WSJ.com subscribers can browse past print and online editions via Factiva; there is no charge to view headlines, and a charge of $2.95 to view articles.

Factiva provides access to The Wall Street Journal print edition database via a Factiva subscription. Visit Factiva at http://www.factiva.com for subscription details or call 1-800-369-0166."

So I searched factiva, see here.

And now I'm a bit lost, because all the searches show that this article does not exist, yet, it is repeatedly inserted again: this source, reinserted here and here, after notifying the author.

Could anyone help me on this, and check if this publication exists? Thank you in advance. --HappyInGeneral (talk) 08:10, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

I have a subscription to Factiva (via a university). The article does exist on there, 540 words. I can easily email it to anyone who needs it.--Commander Keane (talk) 08:30, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Great, thank you! Could you please email it to me and to Peter.guan, he asked about this source here? Thank you again! --HappyInGeneral (talk) 21:03, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

BTW, I just got a trial subscription on http://iworks.factiva.com , which will work for 7 days, but I'm not quite sure how to look in the archives. Do you have a bit of advice on that? Thank you! --HappyInGeneral (talk) 21:04, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
