Fulfilling a request

  • Anyone may offer advice and fulfill requests.

1999 Peter Finer Catalogue

Hi there. Does anybody have access to the 2003 1999(?) Peter Finer Catalogue? Specifically, I’m looking for the entry titled "A Rare German Prosthetic Hand, circa 1580".

I’m trying enhance de:Eiserne Hand (Prothese) and related articles. Thanks in advance. Rgds ✦ hugarheimur 18:17, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

@Torana: I've sent you a mail. Do check. - NQ (talk) 19:11, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
You seem to be right about the date. D’oh! Basically, I’d like to know if the catalogue entry says more than is quoted at myArmoury, especially about the provenance of this particular prosthesis. Rgds ✦ hugarheimur 19:24, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Polish Brewing articles

Looking for articles from three different Polish journals for the Grodziskie article.

The first journal is Przemysł fermentacyjny i owocowo-warzywny and the link takes you to the worldcat entry for it. It appears to be available from a few scattered sources worldwide, including the British Library. I am looking for the following articles:

  • Szmelich, W. (1994). O historii i sposobie wytwarzania unikalnego piwa grodziskiego. Przemysł Fermentacyjny i Owocowo-Warzywny, 38(01), 7-10.
  • Marczak, J., Jarzabek, Z., & Marczewski, B. (2010). Piwo z pszenicy. Przemysł Fermentacyjny i Owocowo-Warzywny, 54(01).
  • Jarzabek, Z., Marczak, J., & Marczewski, B. (2010). Skąd się w piwie wzięły drożdże?. Przemysł Fermentacyjny i Owocowo-Warzywny, 54(04).

The next article is from the same journal with a different name. Przemysł fermentacyjny. Older. It is also available at the British Library.

  • Szmelich W., l963: Problem drożdży dla produkcji piwa grodziskiego. Przem. Ferment: Nr. 11, 262.

Final journal is Acta Microbiologica Polonica, which Worldcat only locates from some resources in France. The link takes you to the journal page. The article I am looking for is

  • Szmelich, W. (1964). YEAST SELECTION FOR THE PRODUCTION OF GRODZISK BEER. Acta microbiologica Polonica, 13, 255.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Neil916 (Talk) 00:56, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

UK! Need Who's Who/Findmypast/Military records etc

I'm searching for background information to hopefully create articles for:

  • Michael Patrick Day CVO (born February 1953
  • Brigadier James Henry Gordon CB CBE late The Royal Green Jackets, 504457. He received queen's birthday honours in 1991 and 2013 and the U.S. Legion of Merit. He has such a common name that I'm having trouble finding any info to start, even hometown.

If anyone could be of help, I would appreciate it! Thanks! —МандичкаYO 😜 00:57, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

@Wikimandia: Hi. You do not have your email enabled. Email me via Special:EmailUser/NQ for 'Who's Who' entries of both people. - NQ (talk) 13:04, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
@Sitush: Can you check FindMyPast? - NQ (talk) 01:41, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
They're far too modern for FMP. Few genealogy websites can cover living people with any depth or degree of certainty. For Gordon, the London Gazette will have some small amounts of info, and I would imagine that if the major newspapers (Times, Guardian etc) do not then local newspapers certainly would. There is this at gov.uk, which will also be in the Gazette somewhere. In fact, he is all over the web in relation to his various honours, but with scant further detail. Perhaps this is a window? - Sitush (talk) 01:51, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
@Wikimandia: - Aside from what Sitush found, there isn't much on them that I was able to locate. Who's who has significant information and it also contains direct contact details for Michael Patrick Day, perhaps that's worth a shot. - NQ (talk) 00:33, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

Strange request for the Times

Hi all, I'm looking for four articles in the Times that were published on 31 January 1911. I'm literally staring at a microfilmed edition of that day, but the "South American supplement"—listed in the issue's table of contents (p. 11 of the regular edition) and the Annual Index to the Times—is not included. Please help? I'm looking for:

  1. "Naval Strength of South America," 31 Jan 1911, p. 1 (these page numbers are referring to the supplement's pagination... the regular page one has marriages etc.)
  2. "The Argentine in the 20th Century," 31 Jan 1911, p. 4
  3. "South America and Sea Power," 31 Jan 1911, p. 7
  4. "British Goods in Argentina," 31 Jan 1911, p. 9.

I'd like to use these in my South American dreadnought articles to bolster some scanty references in sources. Thanks and a cookie to whomever can help me out. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 18:12, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

London Times, New York Times, or some other publication of that name? John M Baker (talk) 21:15, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
London Times. Hi Ed, I was not able to locate it in the Gale digital archives or at Newspapers.com and I doubt it's included anywhere online along with Times archive. The only physical copy available is at the British Library in London. OCLC 751715866. Regards - NQ (talk) 22:30, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
The author of "Naval Strength of South America" is Commander E. Hamilton Currey. I found this passage from him in the book 'The Brazilians and their country'. Not sure if it's of any relevance. For "The Argentine in the 20th Century," there is a book by the same name published later in 1915. - NQ (talk) 23:17, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
Damn, I was afraid of that. They normally include the supplements; I'm not sure why they didn't here. Probably financial. In any case, thank you for the thorough search, NQ. Best, Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 04:20, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
SLUB Dresden appears to have only some 1914 issues of that supplement. Perhaps some of the larger South American libraries have it. --HHill (talk) 11:38, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
Should be Volume no. 7 (January 1911). Available at the University of Toronto Libraries. @OhanaUnited: - NQ (talk) 12:03, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
@NQ: I'm not heading down to the main campus' library anytime soon. OhanaUnitedTalk page 15:44, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
(←) Advanced searches on The British Library reveal their hard copy's classed "restricted" due to being "fragile", and it's not on microfiche. Restricted means normally it can't be accessed and access won't be permissible where other copies exist. SUNCAT shows copies exist at: Cambridge Univ., "London Library" (a mere £15 day access/£485 p.a), and LSE. –146.199.151.33 (talk) 13:03, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
The Supplement shows under several Worldcat entries with variant cataloguing details: OCLC 173730025,OCLC 751715866,OCLC 472723023,OCLC 8105160. Eventually, these should all resolve to the latter, but in the mean time it is necessary to try them all. It looks as if Yale holds it if there's someone there.

Thank you very much!! ... And sorry for not asking before but the book L'anti-autoritarisme en ethnologie has some material on Clastres. However, I've realized now that pages 105, 106, 111, 113 and 114 are missing. I don't know if it's possible to find it but I would appreciate if you could get them.

Reference work material on Emperor Jimmu

Basically looking for any "reference" type works, be they encyclopedic or history or similar works broadly considered "reference works," discussing at length, either as the main topic of the piece or as a multi-page section in a broader work, the mythic Emperor Jimmu of Japan, for use in developing that article and related articles. -John Carter (talk) 19:17, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

@John Carter: I have a copy of Brownlee, John S, Japanese Historians and the National Myths, 1600-1945: The Age of the Gods and Emperor Jinmu if you need any extracts not in the Google Books entry. Jbh (talk) 20:25, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
Um, what exactly do you mean by "have a copy" here? :) The book appears to have been rather well received, which is definitely a plus, and I would definitely welcome any input from that source in the article when we get to that point. But if it is a physical copy, which you seem to imply, it might be harder to distribute around to all the others who might be involved. I may well ping you when I get to the point of opening discussion on the article talk page when I get to that point. John Carter (talk) 20:39, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
It is a PDF so pages can be extracted as needed. Jbh (talk) 20:43, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
That sounds very useful. My first "goal" is to more or less see what other encyclopedias and similar short reference articles might say, as an indicator of what sort of things need to be covered in the Jimmu article, early indicators of relative weight in that article, and that sort of thing, basically getting material together to develop an "outline" of sorts for the article. But I have a feeling that source you have would be a much more useful and acceptable citation source than the reference overview articles might be. But that might come second to seeing what is discussed in the other recent extant encyclopedia type sources, and the relative weight they give the material they do include. John Carter (talk) 20:52, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
OK. Ping me or email me if you need anything from the book. I also have access to JSTOR and saw several references to Emperor Jimmu but most seemed tangential on first inspection. If you find anything there you need help getting let me know. I did a quick look for other references, there was only a footnote mentioning him in my Cambridge History of Japan which surprised me. Jbh (talk) 21:22, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
@John Carter: Send me an email and I'll reply with PDFs of Brownlee, Why Prewar Japanese Historians Did Not Tell the Truth, and Ōbayashi Taryō, Japanese Myths of Descent from Heaven and Their Korean Parallels. Note to others who might do searches: The spelling Jinmu is more common in the literature. John M Baker (talk) 17:35, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
@John Carter: Are you still interested in this? John M Baker (talk) 14:07, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Geology, Hydrology, and Geochemistry of the Black Creek Watershed Near Mocanaqua, PA.

Hello! The book that I needed access to: Newport, Thomas G. (1971). Geology, Hydrology, and Geochemistry of the Black Creek Watershed Near Mocanaqua, PA. Black Creek (Susquehanna River) is in the process of a GA review, and the book constitutes for a significant number of its citations. If at all possible someone can e-mail the book to me at gtownhoyasdc@gmail.com. Thanks! LeftAire (talk) 17:40, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

According to this the electronic form is not available, the proper title is Geology, hydrology, and geochemistry of the Black Creek watershed near Mocanaqua, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania and it was published in 1968. This also shows as OCLC 50317392. The FAQ at the USGS says under "How do I obtain a copy of a specific publication?/ How do I obtain a publication that is not available online?"
"USGS Publication: Links to the USGS store will be added shortly for publications that have paper versions in stock. You can also contact the USGS Store to order the publication. The USGS Store is available at http://store.usgs.gov and they can be contacted via email: usgsstore@usgs.gov ; telephone: 1-888-ASK-USGS; and mail: USGS Information Services, Box 25286, Federal Center, Denver, CO 80225-0046. If it is not available, try searching the title online to find a copy for sale or contact your local librarian to see if they can help you borrow a copy."
I'd suggest the email or phone query is your best bet. Their store's search engine doesn't seem to find it. LeadSongDog come howl! 21:08, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

Looking for French Obituary from 1968 or 1969 for Astronomer Rose Bonnet

I am working on an article on an early 20th century french astronomer named Rose Bonnet. Most of the information I've found on her life has been from academic articles (with a few exceptions). I would like to locate an obituary for her to fill in some missing details in her life.

She was born in 1894 and died in 1968 or 1969, most likely at her home in Paris (83—Street number, Rue de la Liberation—Street, Clamart—Commune, Antony—Arrondissement, Hauts-de-Seine—Department, Sud de Seine—Intercommunality, Île-de-France—Region). She spent her career (from 1919 to 1959) at the Paris Observatory. She was a member of the International Astronomy Union and Société Astronomique de France. She married Louis Sainturier in 1932 or 1933, and used "Bonnet-Sainturier" or "Bonnet" thereafter (except for a brief period during the Nazi occupation of France).

I have searched and searched on Google, Google Scholar, Google Books, Bing, Google.fr, and even ventured into the frightening domain of a Brick and Mortar University Library! But to no avail. I suspect the information exists, but is buried in some French newspaper archives that my Google Translate lack of fluency with the language has hidden from me.

I appreciate any help anyone can give--Carl Henderson (talk) 04:23, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

  • I searched but didn't find anything. Perhaps try asking at fr-wp? They've an equivalent to this page, Vérification en bibliothèque, though it isn't particularly active and is more for requests to verify against a source than obtain a copy of it.

I would like to plot the foreign-exchange reserves of the Qatar Central Bank. The information is published here on monthly base. Opening ≈120 documents (for the last 10 years) would cost me with my slow internet extraordinarily long time. The data is available at e.g. Trading Economix, but hidden behind a paywall. May someone with access to ' professional statistics provider download the data?

Form of address for British peers

Request

2 or 3 of us are trying to find the current practice for addressing and writing about peers who are, and are not, members of the Privy Council of the United Kingdom.

Specifically, we want the relevant quotations from Debrett's Peerage and Baronetage 2015, which apparently is in the larger public reference libraries in the UK, and is often considered to be authoritative for forms of address.

Debrett's Peerage and Baronetage 2015 Kidd, Charles. 2014
OCLC 903427731
ISBN 9780992934828 or ISBN 0992934826

Articles

The current state of our knowledge is at Talk:The_Right_Honourable#A_question_of_peers.27_use (please post or link to your answer there) but the answer will also improve and update Privy Council of the United Kingdom#Rights and privileges of members, and slightly improve the lede/infobox of hundreds other articles, including all biographies of recent British peers, and those that mention them.

Article on church bells in Canterbury, UK

Resolved

I'm trying to expand the article Hatch bell foundry, and it would be really helpful if someone could provide me with a copy of an article in Vol. 1, No. 1, of a journal of local history called Cantium (ISSN 0590-7977) concerning the church bells of Canterbury, UK.[3] The 1970 source in which I've found this article mentioned is very vague, and those are the only certain details I have to hand: it mentions "Thomas Becket Books", but given the location I'd guess that's a publisher or bookseller rather than the author, although WorldCat says that the journal Cantium was published by Kent Council of Social Services. The author may be Robert H. Goodsall. Any help gratefully received. Nortonius (talk) 15:07, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

@Nortonius: Hi.  Uploaded for you, here. As far as I could see no author was listed. "Thomas Becket Books" in Cambs. was the publisher (in 1969) though, yes. —146.199.151.33 (talk) 19:50, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

RAIL magazine, 20 January 1993

This request relates to the British railway magazine RAIL. I just need the page number(s) on which the story "Enter the South Western Turbos" appears in issue number 192, dated 20 January 1993. This may also be accessible to anybody who has an online subscription to the magazine, through the archive on their website.

This is for the planned article "Rolling stock of Network SouthEast", which is currently living in a nearly complete state in a sandbox @ User:Hassocks5489/NSERS. The reference in question was added to the Network SouthEast article itself without a page number.

I realise this is quite a specialist publication, so am happy to try at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK Railways as well/instead. Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 13:02, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
