Finding a source

Tips for finding a source yourself
Main page: WP:Find your source

Note that sites like Library Genesis (LibGen) and Sci-Hub offer direct, free access to a very large range of publications, but there are legal questions around their use and neither the Wikimedia Foundation nor the Wikipedia community endorses them.

Making a request
  • A request may be an open question or you may ask for a specific journal, article or work
  • All kinds of sources are possible here: newspapers, magazine article, databases, encyclopedias, court decisions, laws, books, etc.
  • We cannot perform full book copy requests due to copyright. Please ask for specific pages that relate to the article(s) you need them for
  • You may contact research helpers directly or make a request on this page
  • To receive email without disclosing your email address publicly, configure your email in Special:Preferences
  • Provide as much detail as possible: a full citation with author, title, publisher, and date or identifiers like DOI, ISBN, ISSN, PMID, OCLC, etc.
  • Once a request has been fulfilled add the {{Resolved}} template.
  • Filled requests are archived.
  • Requests unfilled after three months will be archived

Fulfilling a request

  • Anyone may offer advice and fulfill requests.

#1 and #7 is to be used in Actors of the Comédie-Française. #2 is to check for bibliography on Polish Woman. #3 and #5 is to be used in Actors of the Comédie-Française, La Boudeuse, and The Embarrassing Proposal. #4 and #6 is to be used in La Boudeuse. While getting the most of the request would not be diffucult, I'm aware that Marianne Roland Michel's catalogue raisonné would be a harder case (see OCLC for both the Italian and French editions). Anyway, thanks for responding. From Russia with love, Gleb95 (talk) 15:46, 23 August 2020 (UTC).[reply]

P. S. Forgot to add one more book to request. Gleb95 (talk) 16:00, 23 August 2020 (UTC).[reply]

If "getting the most of the request would not be diffucult", I suggest you obtain the material yourself. I believe the general purpose of this page is to support editors who have difficulty accessing a resource. I'm afraid I cannot help with #5. — Pajz (talk) 18:21, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Gleb95: Pinging. --Gazal world (talk) 18:19, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Pajz: My apologies if my wording could be wrong; I meant that I couldn't find the requested books in public libraries in Saint Petersburg. Gleb95 (talk) 19:20, 12 October 2020 (UTC).[reply]
@Gleb95: Yes Sent #1. --Gazal world (talk) 04:13, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Gazal world:. Checked it. Thank you. Gleb95 (talk) 06:52, 19 November 2020 (UTC).[reply]
@Gleb95: pp. 15–16 (from #2) is a list of abbreviations. Is it that what you want? --Gazal world (talk) 10:54, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Gazal world: Yes. (Well, you can also sent pp. 395–422, which are the bibliography section. I wouldn't be against that.) Gleb95 (talk) 11:46, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes Sent #2. @Gleb95: I received only 'TOC' section, pp. 7–15, and 'Index' section (pp. 423–426). Now I can't request again for bibliography. Best. --Gazal world (talk) 12:17, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Received. Gleb95 (talk) 12:21, 11 December 2020 (UTC).[reply]
  • Gleb95, for #4, I have a scan of pages 142–143, which cover numbers 31 to 60. Let me know your email and I'll send it to you; also, let me know if this is what you had in mind (in which case I'll work on getting 77 as well), or if there is a part of the work that is more substantive that you're looking for. --Usernameunique (talk) 21:39, 5 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Article in a 2003 issue of TV magazine Radio Times

  • (can't figure out how to do a citation here) - the article seemingly titled "monster magic" on pg. 38 of the 6 November 2003 issue (issue no. 4156) of Radio Times; it seems to be an article about this TV series and since sources are hard to come by, will probably be useful. It exists as per these; 1, 2.

For Sea Monsters (TV series)

Thanks, Ichthyovenator (talk) 13:56, 20 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Ichthyovenator, how confident are you in the page number? I asked for pages 37–39, and my library claims they couldn't find it in the page range. The first link you provided says "Monster magic: page 38", but it also says "Appears in: Issue 4156, 6 November 2003, Page 78". It seems as if the text on the website is a transcription of (part of) what appears on page 78 of the 6 November 2003 issue. Do you understand "Monster magic: page 38" to be referring to another page in the same issue of Radio Times? Considering that it follows a reference to "(S) BBC BOOK: Sea Monsters, now available price £17.99", could "Monster magic: page 38" be referring to a page of the BBC book instead? --Usernameunique (talk) 09:19, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Darkwarriorblake / SEXY ACTION TALK PAGE! 22:59, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Darkwarriorblake: #5 is available in ProQuest via the Wikipedia Library Bundle here. Please read the second point under "Finding a source" at the top of this page. —Bruce1eetalk 14:45, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
How did you tell which collection it was under? Darkwarriorblake / SEXY ACTION TALK PAGE! 15:52, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Darkwarriorblake: That's not an easy question to answer. It's often a good idea to start with the general-purpose collections like ProQuest and EBSCO which cover a wide range of topics and sources. Other collections, like Oxford Bibliographies Online, are more specialized and only need be used if they focus on topics you're after. You can find out what each collection covers by clicking on their information links. But with experience you'll get to know which ones to use. —Bruce1eetalk 16:46, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Darkwarriorblake: Something else that is often helpful in finding which collection or database to use is The Wikipedia Library/A–Z. —Bruce1eetalk 21:32, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Pajz Darkwarriorblake / SEXY ACTION TALK PAGE! 21:22, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Darkwarriorblake, do you have any more information about #6, such as page numbers? Is the article title actually the same as the magazine title? --Usernameunique (talk) 16:45, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Usernameunique just that it is issue 27. As I understand it, it's pretty much the bulk of the issue, but I can't tell how much or page numbers as the only way to purchase it is through the apple store and I don't have any iProducts. I have been able to acquire a few Cinefex issues but the physical copy for that one is running £20. Darkwarriorblake / SEXY ACTION TALK PAGE! 17:37, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Darkwarriorblake, what precisely are you looking for? Is it an article, entitled "Cinefex," within the journal Cinefex? You list the author as Don Shay, yet he is also the publisher; is this some sort of "letter from the editor" starting off the issue? Or is Cinefex different from most journals (which are broken down into a number of articles), and each issue is essentially a single article? By the way, it looks like it would be available for $4.99 on iPad, though I'm not sure how to get around the iProducts issue. —Usernameunique (talk) 22:50, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Usernameunique I am very, very sorry for the delay, I did not get pinged or did not notice it. Each Cinefex issue tends to read like most sci-fi mags of its time, it'll have articles about different films and topics, but the Aliens issue is apparently a whole issue dedicated to the film and the article is written by Don Shay. Without getting my hands on it I can't really provide more clarity than that unfortunately. Darkwarriorblake / SEXY ACTION TALK PAGE! 10:33, 22 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Acta Geod. Geoph. Mon. Hung.

Greetings, has someone access to "Sainato, C. M., M. C. Pomposiello, and J. M. Febrer. "Audio-MT study of the Tuzgle volcano zone." Acta Geod. Geoph. Mon. Hung. 28.3–4 (1993): 457-466."? For Cerro Tuzgle

Thanks, Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 16:41, 25 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Jo-Jo Eumerus, where did you get this citation? First, the abbreviation is apparently incorrect; there is an "Acta Geod. Geophys. et Montan. Acad. Hung. Tomus" (for "Acta Geodaetica, Geophysica et Montanistica Hungarica"), but not an "Acta Geod. Geoph. Mon. Hung." Acta Geod. Geophys. et Montan. Acad. Hung. Tomus, meanwhile, does have a volume 28 from 1993, but it doesn't look like it has the article in question. The Google Books snippet view doesn't hit on any keywords, and page 457 looks like it has various book reviews. Meanwhile, Maria Cristina Pomposiello doesn't list the work on her list of publications, nor does Claudia Sainato. But they do have a separate 1993 article that looks like it might be the one you're looking for: "Magnetotelluric Study of the Tuzgle Volcano Zone, Jujuy Province, Argentina." It's available here. --Usernameunique (talk) 06:10, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It's from here Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:57, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Source search for I.W. Cornwall, a British archaeologist

Hello. I'm looking for sources for my draft on I.W. Cornwall. I'm looking for two specific things:

  • 1: Cornwall was born in India in 1909 and later went to private school at Wellington College in England. I would like to know which year/age or rough timeline he moved to England. It'd have to be somewhere between the 1900s to 1920s as he graduated from St John's College, Cambridge in 1931.
  • 2: I have a date of death for Cornwall (18 November 1994) but not a place of death. I presume it's Surrey as the A&C Black version of Who Was Who has an address in Surrey, England, but I'd like to be sure. Surprisingly, I haven't found a newspaper source from 1994+ that talks about his death, so I'm not sure.

For these two points, I highly assume that if an obituary from 1994+ mentions Cornwall, it'd have his place of death. As for when he moved from India to England, i dunno if an obituary would have it. Encyclopedias entries haven't been able to fill in these two holes. I've found sources under the names I.W. Cornwall, Ian Wolfran Cornwall and Ian Wolfram Cornwall. I'm pretty sure Wolfram is a misspelling as the British sources I've found spelt his middle name as Wolfran. So, the first two naming versions might have more luck than the last. Thanks! MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 01:18, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Edit: Just found when he attended St. John's College, so I don't need #1. #2 I still need. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 01:50, 9 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Pigsonthewing: In regards to his death, I am looking for 1994+ obituaries for sure. Whether one exists or not is the question, and i had no luck finding a specific obit with this info. Therefore, i have to be general. Thank you for the suggestion. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 19:26, 15 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Probably a hopeless case, but has someone access to this publication? For User:Jo-Jo Eumerus/Tocorpuri

Thanks, Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 20:54, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Jo-Jo Eumerus, try contacting the author: his gmail can be found by clicking on his bolded name here. —Usernameunique (talk) 23:31, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, Jo-Jo Eumerus, a response to your comment regarding contacting authors, which was archived before I had a chance to respond. You said "Sorry, but in light of bad experiences I am extremely reluctant at contacting people off-Wikipediaby email." I'm not sure what bad experiences you are, or could be, referring to; the worst that can happen by emailing an author and requesting an article is that they respond by saying "no." In fact, the very first of the "Tips for finding a source yourself" at the top of this page is to "Send a request to the author(s) of research papers for a copy of their paper by email."
There are many reasons for authors to oblige, such as the desire to see their research widely distributed, professional pride, and common courtesy. It is frequently also the least indulgent request, because other means—asking people to track down and download or scan a work, or requesting an institution obtain it via ILL—tend to take more time and money than reaching out to someone who already has it. Given the nature of your requests, many of which are obscure, held by few institutions, and difficult to obtain—a prime example being this article, which you term "Probably a hopeless case"—it almost behooves you to take the step of reaching out to those most likely to have the articles—that is, the authors themselves. --Usernameunique (talk) 02:03, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I see. Will probably take some time though, messaging a stranger over stuff on a website is always a bit hard. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 12:25, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good, Jo-Jo Eumerus. If the discomfort of sending strangers emails is what's making you hesitant, don't worry—I would just send a brief form email (similar to how you lead off most of your requests here with "Greetings, has someone..."), saying that you came across a reference to their article, think it might be useful for a Wikipedia article you're working on, and wonder if they have a copy readily available. --Usernameunique (talk) 14:46, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

2001 article in Prometheus

Hi, can't find journal (not Taylor & Francis one on innovation), let alone journal article (already have short 1999 newspaper article), but can't find this 20-page 2001 journal article, adding considerably more evidence, argument, and citations. Author's academic page and others on Google Scholar cite as:

  • Herzog, Ze'ev (2001). "Deconstructing the walls of Jericho: biblical myth and archaeological reality". Prometheus. 4. London: Prometheus Publishing: 72-93. ISSN 1464-3901.

For Ze'ev Herzog. First name variously styled in citing articles as Z., Zeev, or Ze'ev.

Thanks, Paulscrawl (talk) 06:08, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Paulscrawl: The publisher made available a substantial (1800 word) extract from the article here, which may be of use. Australian National University lost their copy of volume 4 in the flood of 2018, so the only known remaining copies are at University of London, MIT, and Indiana University. None of them offer access during the pandemic except to their students, staff, or faculty, so it's unlikely that WP:RX will be able to provide the full text within the next 90 days. --Worldbruce (talk) 03:52, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings, has someone access to this publication? For Mount Melbourne

Thanks, Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 13:04, 21 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Jo-Jo Eumerus, the author's publications page links to a university website that indicates the article has recently been uploaded, but has not yet been processed for copyright before it can be read online. But the fact that it has been uploaded is good evidence the author a) has a digital copy, and b) would be willing to send it your way if you reach out to him. His contact information is here. This seems a better bet than waiting for someone with access to Brill to come along, as a review of the archives of this page shows that no Brill requests have been fulfilled recently (other than via non-Brill sources). --Usernameunique (talk) 06:23, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

IFPI Global Music Report 2020

For de:Italienische populäre Musik

I asked this already one year ago, sadly without getting a reply. But I still need the report and can't find it anywhere. Apparently, there is a number of libraries in UK and US that have the report, so maybe someone can access it (but: the IFPI only allows citing if the institution got an external-use license). I need the section about Italy. Would be highly appreciated!

Thanks, XanonymusX (talk) 13:18, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

XanonymusX, I tried ILLing this without any luck. I also reached out via online chat to the NYU and Harvard libraries, which have the report (Harvard doesn't have 2020 yet), but are only providing them to current affiliates at this time. The Harvard librarian suggested a) reaching out to the IFPI directly, as they *might* be willing to spot you one page (they might be even more likely if an older page would work, like from the 2019 report), and b) reaching out to the Berklee College of Music librarian listed here, as they have the current report and, again, *might* be willing to send you a page.
There are enough well-known institutions with electronic and/or hard copies of the report (NYU, Harvard, USC, Stanford, etc.), that another possibility would be finding a current affiliate of one of those institutions; many if not most of them could likely either access it online via a database, or have their school scan and email it. One option would be to reach out directly to people listed at:
Category:Wikipedians by alma mater: Harvard University
Category:Wikipedians by alma mater: New York University
Category:Wikipedians by alma mater: Stanford University
Category:Wikipedians by alma mater: University of Southern California
The caveat is that most of these are likely to be alums who no longer have the access they once had. (Looking through the userpages might give you a better idea of who's an alum and who's a current affiliate.)
A third suggestion would simply be to chat up more librarians at the libraries listed on WorldCat. Perhaps the answer 9 times out of 10 will be that only current affiliates have access, but if that's the case, it only takes asking 10 times before you find what you're looking for.
Fourth, there might be a better chance of ILLing this once the world returns to normal. --Usernameunique (talk) 20:44, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the effort! I have just sent an email to the Berklee librarian (from my student email account, maybe that helps). Will try some others if this one doesn’t work. The music industry isn’t exactly the best ally of free knowledge, so asking the IFPI directly seems hopeless to me. Of course the issue is that the data would need to be updated every year with the new report, so an easy way to have “permanent” access would be ideal. Let’s see what I’ll achieve!

1968 Rolling Stone review

Romanian Review

For Second Battle of Oituz

The google preview (at least via the search) yields a text beginning

November 10 is the date of the second great battle of Oituz , right in the area of action of the mentioned group . The fights lasted until November 15 , 1916 , and the initiative belonged to the Romanian army . During November 11 , 12 , and 13, the strategic detachments of the “ Oituz " group attacked the enemy on all six main directions , in order to provoke heavy losses and to prevent them from transferring any other reinforcement from that point to other sectors of the front. The adversaries attacked and counterattacked constantly , until November 16 , when the " Oituz " group switched to a strategy of defence , on the entire front line . After more than one month of continuous military actions , the defenders of the pass of Oituz practically locked up this region , and defeated the enemy ' s plans to pierce the Romanian front towards the South of Moldavia . (page 123) The valley of Olt was also taken into account by the enemy HQ , as a possible piercing point through the Carpathian barrier , as the region had a huge traffic potential , in favour of the troops rapidly advancing on the highway and railway. Moreover, the valley offered good conditions for actions of encircling particularly on the valleys open towards the Olt . The " Krafft " group was created for this mission , and it consisted of 20 battalions and 16 artillery batteries . Its main mission was to resume the attacks on the route of Curtea de Arges - Piteşti . The area was defended by the 1st Romanian Army Corps , namely by the 13th and 23rd infantry divisions , the 1st cavalry brigade , 33 infantry battalions , 6 cavalry squadrons , and 28 artillery batteries . There was a machine - gun ratio with the enemy of 2 . 2 to 1 , and they had a machine gun for each of their combat unit , besides its 12 mountain artillery batteries . The Romanian troops , though , had only 3 mountain artillery batteries , and no machine - gun . On October 14 , the Romanian troops were on defending positions , with the 23 infantry division placed east of the river Olt , 2 km west of the Negoiu peak and the town of Cîineni . The 13th infantry division stood west of Olt , and was spread until the Pietrosul peak . The 1st Army Corps had one squadron and 3 pioneer companies as reserve . In its first stage , the offensive plan of the German and Austrian - Hungarian troops was to open the pass of Turnu Roşu and to penetrate the territory up to Curtea de Argeş , through a front attack , and to outflank on both sides the 1st Romanian

on p. 122–123. This is clearly about this battle, but I am unable to see anything further. I'd like the have the given page, and any subsequent/preceding pages that refer to this as well.

@Buidhe: Thanks! This is far more interesting (at least from the NPOV side of things, as now I am not just dealing with German sources); although the bit that is relevant to the battle is only the first few sentences - reading the text it appears like it is a continuation of something coming before, so I've gone ahead via the route Username suggested. Hopefully there's more to it (though I can't be sure as it appears to give an outlook on a far larger scale than what I'm looking far).
