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.
  • Indicate which part or parts of the request is being handled so others do not duplicate your work.
  • Notify (mention) the requester using {{ping|REQUESTER_USERNAME}}
  • You can:
    • point to a pre-existing electronic document by giving its URL ( http://... )
    • share scans of pages or documents using a file-sharing service, provided it is legal
    • upload out of copyright works to Wikimedia Commons and/ or Wikisource (but be careful that this does not breach your own institution's policies)
    • email a link or plain text to a requester using the Special:EmailUser feature but for attachments, you need to ask them to mail you first so you can reply.

Copyright tips:

  • Respect copyrights and terms of services of any online services you use.

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]
  • Usernameunique I am so sorry for not responding to your earlier response more than a month ago - I don't know how I managed to miss it. I am very thankful for your efforts to attempt locating this quite obcure source. As for the page number, your guess is as good as mine if it's correct, I'm just going off based of what the site says (though I'm fairly confident that it's not from the BBC book and indeed from an article titled "Monster magic" in the magazine - no heading or section by that name exist in the book to my knowledge).

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]
Jo-Jo Eumerus, have you tried reaching out to the author? --Usernameunique (talk) 05:40, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
No, I forgot. I've made a note about this now. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 08:03, 22 February 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! Regards, XanonymusX (talk) 21:11, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
XanonymusX, any luck? --Usernameunique (talk) 19:03, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I have indeed not received the ping! The Berklee librarian has answered after two weeks, but unfortunately same issue there, only for registered students. I have not yet decided which institution to try next, maybe I’ll give the UK ones a try next week. —XanonymusX (talk) 20:57, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

(It looks like the British Library has one or two copies, though a loan from there would also be unlikely. OCLC 559550034, 752740531) But the work is cited in a book (n.18) by Tammy M. Proctor (contact info), and another (n.4) by John C. Mitcham (contact info). Admittedly the odds aren't great, but perhaps you could try reaching out to them, and see how they came about it. --Usernameunique (talk) 05:52, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, I just figured that sometimes people do silly things. Here's a 2017 article that takes extensively from the book, including a number of photographs. It's written by Marek Popiel, who is the editor-in-chief of the magazine (source). Pigsonthewing, If I were you, I would reach out via the first email on the magazine's contact page; it's a recent article and has clearly digitized part of the Boy Scouts and What They Do book, so he may well have a scanned copy. --Usernameunique (talk) 14:48, 5 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Thanks, RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 02:56, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

RandomCanadian, one thing that would be helpful to do is to click on "Report an Issue" at the bottom of the Google Books page, select "I have a question or feedback about a book," and ask them for the citation information of that passage. They typically respond within a couple days, and should be able to tell you the issue, date, author, article title, and page range. --Usernameunique (talk) 03:02, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@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).

RandomCanadian, did you get any further information from Google? --Usernameunique (talk) 20:28, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Usernameunique: Somehow I missed the ping.

I searched the 1998 edition of the book[6] which I have partial access to. There are no results for searching the book for "Shanghainese", or Jiangnan people. There may be one result for Wu Chinese on page 210 but I can't see what it is.
Possibly relevant passage from the China ethnic groups section "Jing number 1 9,000 and live on the China- Vietnam border and on three islands in the Gulf of Tonkin. Jingpo number 119,000 and represent about 10% of the Kachin (as they are called in Myanmar) population. Most of them live in Myanmar and in mountain villages of southern Yunnan province (see Myanmar)." (p. 212) There is no entry for Shanghainese or Wu people.

For Engine Company 21 (Chicago)

I'm looking for something that supports "[Approximately 1925], the department took its discrimination against black firefighters to the ultimate level. Members of Engine Company 21 were directed to switch engines and firehouses with Engine Company 19, moving from their downtown station at 1213 S.Plymouth Court to 3440 S. Rhodes."

Also for any explanation why. The above quote is from an undergrad senior thesis, the ref is the source she provides for that statement. Obv I can't use the thesis, so I've been tracking down her sources. This is a source I suspect will be easy to find in Chicago, but it's not available from Ohio interlibrary loan. It looks like there are two volumes, one for 1858-1900, the other for 1900-1925, and I assume this is in the second, but I don't know for sure.

British 46th Division, official history, need copy of page or help fact checking

  • The Story of 46 Division 1939–1945. Styria, Austria: 46th Infantry Division. 1946. OCLC 6163164.

For 46th Infantry Division (United Kingdom)

I have been able to access the majority of this work, however the copy that I have is missing pages 52–81. I have been able to use other sources to provide a framework of what the division was up to. The article, prior to the expansion I have worked on, cited some information to page 66:

"During the fighting in Italy the 46th Division suffered over 9,200 casualties, including 1,447 officers and men killed in action, with a further 6,476 wounded and 1,957 missing. Throughout the campaign, however, the division captured 4,507 prisoners."

Can anyone access this work and fact check the above statement and figures? For context, for using the book's contents, it would be the casualty figures at the end of the division's first campaign in Italy, which ended in March 1944. Later in the book, on page 105, it states that the division had suffered over 4,000 casualties, with 692 dead, and took roughly 3,000 prisoners. This is in context to the division's second campaign in Italy.

Any help would be much appreciated!EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 02:25, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
