George Gould Strong

• George Gould Strong born 1910 died about 1964 in Southampton Hospital, Southampton, Suffolk Co., Long Island, New York. I have searched for a NYT obituary with no luck, but there should have been a local obituary. Does anyone have access to the archives of the Southampton Press or the Easthampton Star or another local paper? - Nunh-huh 20:28, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
• JOHN N. STRONG

Specfal to THE NEW' YORE TI:MS. New York Times (1857-Current file); Nov 14, 1942; ProQuest Historical Newspapers The New York Times (1851 - 2003) pg. 16.

Do you want it? There is sparse mention, it's his dad's obit. I also found a ref to a George Strong who was elected mayor of "The Landing" in the 1930s, is this him? IvoShandor 11:26, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, Ivo for spotting this. I've had a look, and that's him, but unfortunately his dad's obit doesn't carry enough information about the son for "creating-an-article" purposes. I don't know if George Strong was ever elected mayor of anything.... - Nunh-huh 15:52, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Is this George G. Strong a musician (the guy in this article)? Or can you tell me a bit what you do know about him? It would help with my search. Key to the city 09:26, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Nunh-huh responded on my talk page with this:

Yes, George Gould Strong was the guy depicted in the musical Grey Gardens. Basically, I know this: he was born 21 January 1910 in East Hampton, New York, the son of John Young Strong and Fannie (Baker) Strong, growing up in a house on Amagansett Road. He lived for a time in Paris, and in New York City at 725 Lexington Avenue, probably after he lived at Grey Gardens. He was, as depicted in the musical, the personal accompanist of Edith Beale; he was also an accompanist in Paris and New York, and is said to have had a radio show in New York. Though the musical depicts him as gay, it's not that clear that's actually true, and it's certainly not true that he committed suicide (except metaphorically); he died, apparently about 1964 in Southampton Hospital in Southampton, Long Island, the cause of death apparently being gastrointestinal hemorrhage from drinking, complicated by the fact that he had become a Christian Scientist (which may be something he picked up from Mrs. Beale). I wanted especially to firm up his date of death (the 1964 is an estimate based on someone's recollection that he died when she was 12), which is probably only possible if his obituary can be located in the Southampton Bee or Easthampton Star or one of the other local papers. - Nunh-huh 21:10, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

I did some research, but I got to admid that this one is out of my league. I hope an American helps you with this request. But I thought I post the answer anyway, maybe it helps other researchers. Key to the city 09:40, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Samuel R. Gerber

I'm investigating Samuel R. Gerber. Gerber was a famous forensic scientist/pathologist and known for his work in the Sam Sheppard case. I found he's had an obituary in a 1987 Plain Dealer issue. I think it was May that year. Could someone with access get me a copy? I also want to know if there is a biographical entry for him (National Cyclopedia) or elsewhere. User:MacGyverMagic/WIP lists the sources I already have although the obituary may not be the complete one. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:33, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Been searching in all kinds of biographies (general American, and more specific science and medicine biographies), but no luck. He's not that well-known? I think your best shot would be finding a Wikipedian from Cleveland who wants to get the newspaper from a library archive. Key (talk) 15:13, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

William McCrum

I'm trying to find the obituary of William McCrum. This FIFA page mentions 'In 1932 an obituary appeared in a Northern Ireland paper in Milford, County Armagh'. I don't know the exact date of the obit' or which paper it was in but it must have been in late December as he died 'just before Christmas'. Sorry for the vagueness, any hints appreciated. JMiall 15:51, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

• There is an obit in the Irish Times (22 Dec 1932); William McCrum died 21 Dec 1932: Irish Times 1932 contains link to original source.—Ash (talk) 13:38, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

State Route 1002 (Lehigh County, Pennsylvania)

This is a bit of a long shot, but I would like the text of the act of June 22, 1931 (P.L.720, No. 262), entitled "An act providing for the taking over by the Commonwealth...". If it's long, anything relating to Route 159 or Union Boulevard would be the most useful. I believe that portion begins "Beginning at a point on West Union Boulevard", and if it mentions anything about Broad Street or Market Street being removed. I am neroute2 at gmail. Thank you very much. --NE2 00:58, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Homerun (film)

Finding referenced information on Singaporean movies is difficult. I have expanded this article as far as I can with web-based references alone. However, I will need newspaper references to expand it further. Around the day the movie was released in cinemas, The Straits Times published an article about the differences between Children of Heaven and Homerun (I could write an entire section comparing the two movies, solely based on that reference). Furthermore, The Straits Times and Channel NewsAsia are likely to provide enough references to write a decent Production section (a neccesity if I ever push the article for GA status). Other newspapers may provide referenced information that I could use to expand the Political satire and Reception sections. Could somebody search LexisNexis, Factiva and/or Newslink for newspaper articles about the movie, and e-mail their full text and citation information to hildanknight(AT)gmail(DOT)com? --J.L.W.S.

Jelqing

"There has been only one study on “jelqing” done by Dr. Brian Richards in the late 1970s. The British Journal of Sexual Medicine published the results. According to the study, 87 percent of men had positive results." [2]. Does anyone have access or exact bibliographical reference? [3] -- Thanx Cherubino 12:46, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

The only remotely similar reference I could find in Pubmed was Richards BA. "Mechanical aids to sex." Br J Sex Med. 1975 Oct;2(5):33-5, 37. No abstract available. PMID: 830127 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]." This is probably it, but I don't have access to the journal. The term doesn't appear anywhere in PubMed, which is pretty suspicious. -- phoebe/(talk) 01:07, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

I already have plenty of newspaper articles about the guy (Chicago Sun-Times), but I wonder if the National Cyclopedia of American Biography I requested for Paul Kirk also has info on Vitullo.

Robert Wornum, George Wilkinson (music publisher)

Michael Kassler in "Broderip, Wilkinson and the first English edition of the '48'" Musical Times, Summer 2006 quotes a little from an advertisement with details about the fire at 315 Oxford street in The Times but NewspaperArchive seems to be missing the issue from October 13, 1812 - I don't know if Gale has it. threesixesinarow@yahoo.com

• The Times October 13, 1812, p.2

- Mireut 14:58, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

• It seems that paper is so old, that there is no digital copy available; Lexis Nexis doesn't have it either. I think you'd have to ask The Times directly, or head for the British Library. - Mgm|^(talk) 17:57, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Give us some hints! or some context, anyway. Do you know where this person died, for instance? Brassratgirl 07:27, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

There's an article in the New York Times, March 15, 1958, "Leopold Habsburg Lorraine Dead at 61; Austrian Archduke Became U.S. Citizen". It says he died in Willimantic, Connecticut. Qero 11:02, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

The quote I gave above shows that he died on 14 March 1958 in Mansfield, CT. Now Qero has found something substantiating that with a variant place of death, which is understandable. Good! I think that would be an article that contains useful information. --StanZegel (talk) 15:38, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, didn't see the Mansfield, CT reference the first time :) Brassratgirl 05:07, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

Sultana (steamboat)

Can someone help with a literature search, to get some authoritative refs for article Sultana (steamboat). I am suspicious that the fatalities stated as 1,700 are exaggerated newspaper accounts of the day. TIA. mervyn 11:31, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

• "LAFAYETTE GITHENS" New York Times, Jan 23, 1933. p. 13. Short note that reports on the death of the last survivor of the disaster. The article states that the ship carried 1700 people of which more than 1450 died.
• "Heavy Loss Aboard Bennington Not the Navy's Worst Disaster", New York Times May 27, 1954. p. 16. Also mentions 1450 dead; doesn't mention total number of passengers.
• "Civil War Hull Is Reported Found", New York Times Jul 7, 1982. Reports on the finding of the ship's wreck (which definitely should be mentioned in our article). The numbers given: 2200 people on board, over 1500 died.

These are the only mentionings of the Sultana disaster that I can find in the New York Times since 1930. I can email them to you. AxelBoldt 17:46, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Yes, please email to me. A follow up question for those in libraries is, are there any recent scholarly articles on the incident? Thanks, mervyn 13:45, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

I need your email address. AxelBoldt 18:20, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Ok, the three articles above are "in the mail". I also found 'A Tremendous Tumult and Uproar' by GE Salecker, America's Civil War; May2002, Vol. 15 Issue 2. This looks pretty good, though it's probably not exactly peer-reviewd quality. It's all about the Sultana. I sent it to you as well. The documents should be attached to the emails. AxelBoldt 16:16, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

And a bit more for you: there's a book "Disaster on the Mississippi", also by Salecker, that you should be able to get via inter-library loan. Plus here's a National Geographic news article. Cheers, AxelBoldt 16:27, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

I emailed all of them to you today. AxelBoldt 20:32, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

Many thanks, I've added them to Wikipedia:Wikipedia as a court source. However, can you also look for English Mountain Spring Water Co. v. Chumley, 2005 WL 2756072 (Tenn.Ct.App., October 25, 2005).? This case comments negatively on Wikipedia. Thanks! Samw 03:56, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

It's in the mail. This decision is almost as exciting as some of the discussions around here: "Is water a beverage?" AxelBoldt 20:52, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, I've added it to Wikipedia:Wikipedia as a court source. Yes, it's pretty dry, but it's nice to see the courts debating the mertis of Wikipeida. Thanks for sending the info.

FYI, for everyone, I've archived the Lexis Nexis results in my gmail accound to if anyone wants to see the original, they can contact me as well. Samw 22:01, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Heavy Fog In Channel: Continent Cut Off!

Is it possible someone from here could verify that on the 22nd October 1957 The Times had a headline on the front page:

"Heavy Fog In Channel Continent Cut Off!" Just let me know on my talk page or here, ta. Hiding talk 13:49, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Times archives don't go back that far. I tried newer databases to no avail. Lotsofissues 14:13, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

This is an old chestnut that can be traced at least to 1932, but it's doubtful whether there ever actually was such a headline. Raveriz 15:37, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Times article by William E. Schmidt, dated May 7, 1994 includes this text: "In some ways, such attitudes underscore Britain's "splendid isolation" as an island nation, a state of mind reflected in the 1930's headline from London's Daily Mirror: 'Fog in Channel -- Continent Cut Off.'"Stagehand 12:45, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

I can't imagine there's a text search this far back, but on the off-chance, there should be an editorial comment about her in the Saturday Review, 22 January 1938, followed by some responses in the letters column on 19 February 1938. --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 12:09, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Vigenère_cipher#History

• What luck. I was going to ask for a reference at WP:RD and happened to find my way here. I'm looking for a reference (author name, month, edition etc.) and perhaps an extended quote for Vigenère_cipher#History. What I know is that the quote about the cipher says it's "impossible of translation" and it was printed in 1917 in Scientific American. I'm not sure a searchable database exists for SA that far back though <sadly I don't think SA is in any of the databses listed above, but it's worth a shot>... I used to have access to a University library (actually I had two such accounts) where they had hard copies of nearly every SA, but both of my accounts are now disabled (*cries*) Broken S 17:46, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

Tricky one

Not quite sure if this is doable, but on Eddie Campbell's blog [5] he references an article from The Guardian by Waldemar Januszczak from 1984 which contains the following text: "... since the neurotics appropriated the comic strip we have seen the perfect marriage of form and content... They have subverted its innocence , and filled its thought bubbles with their wretched, guilt-sodden soliloquies." Is that small info enough to work from? I've asked Campbell for a date but figured I'd get the ball rolling. Hiding Talk 19:11, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't have full-text access to the Guardian from that far back, sorry. -- phoebe 00:17, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

I asked about this on the science reference desk, but received no reply. Is there a page similar to this for books instead of newspapers and magazines? I've found there's an entry for Paul L. Kirk in volume 56 of the "National Cyclopedia of American Biography", but unfortunately my local academic library doesn't cary it and since it's a reference work, I can't have it brought in from another library.

James Wesley Rawles in NEXIS

Hello, to verify a biography, we are looking for anyone with back issues of Defense Electronics msgazine or Defense Computing magazine from 1988 through 1990. The magazines were archived by the NEXIS database. The author's byline was "James W. Rawles". Do any wiki reserachers have access to back issues of these magazines, either electronically, or in hard copy? We need to verify that James W. Rawles was listed on the magazine mastheads as "Associate Editor" in this time period. Also, can anyone confirm if he concurrently was listed as the managing editor of The C3I Handbook (3rd Edition) and The International Countermeasures Handbook (13th or 14th Edition). These magazines and handbooks were published by EW Communications, and later by Cardiff Publishing. Many Thanks for your assistance. Trasel (talk) 13:26, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Two articles for comparison to ODNB

• Terence Fox (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
• Alan Garrett Anderson (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Hi. I was referred here following a note at WP:AN. I'm an admin who donates a lot of time to the copyright problems board, and these two items have been listed on Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2008 November 10 as infringements of the ODNB, here and here. I do not have access to the ODNB. What's at question here is not literal duplication, but "comprehensive nonliteral similarity", whether or not the Wikipedia articles follow closely enough on the structure and language of the original as to constitute substantial taking. (There is more information, including links to extensive conversations, at the CP page.) I am greatly in need of assistance from somebody who is able to compare the articles to the sources with an eye to detecting infringement and determining how much, if anything, needs to be revised. As an example, one problematic sentence from Terence Fox says, "Fox apparently found it difficult to delegate and was a naturally rigorous person; these traits led to stress and a series of nervous breakdowns in the 1950s which caused him to resign as shell chair in 1959...." The ODNB article, according to quote by the tagging editor, says, "His desire for rigour often made him a trying colleague. He found it difficult to delegate fully ... These traits naturally led to strain and he suffered a succession of nervous breakdowns in the early 1950s which caused his resignation from the Shell chair in 1959." Such passages need to be distanced from the source material. (For legal background and overview, see this and this, but, really, this just needs a good common sense comparison.)--Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 23:02, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Discourses in Dance

The article Master Juba is featured, but a user recently added an intriguing "Further reading" source that should probably be consulted to integrate its information into the piece. The article is:

• Cook, James W. (2006). "Master Juba, The King of All Dancers!" Discourses in Dance, Volume 3, Number 2, 7-20.

Unfortunately, the Discourses in Dance website seems to be down at the moment, and I can't find their index archived anywhere else. Does anyone have access to this journal? Thanks! — Dulcem (talk) 23:52, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Dr. Joseph Murphy (author)

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). Of particular interest would be any discussions about his weekly Sunday lectures at the Wilshire-Ebell Theater. Also, any WP:RS book reviews of his writings would be welcome of course. Low Sea (talk) 21:57, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

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.

Michael appeared on Blue Peter on 24 January, 2007 and received the programme's highest award, a gold blue peter badge, for his achievements after crossing the Atlantic Ocean single-handed (not sure what they're gonna if he finishes his current round the world trip).

George Sampson

I'm doing a rewrite and I'm trying to set up an awards section. I know he won the 2008 Kid's Choice Award for Favourite Winner, but all the references I can find are either copyvio youtube videos or newspapers talking about the event before it happened. 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.

Sea water power station

This is a fake page of newspaper clippings but the pieces in it, according to the site, are genuine newspaper articles from the 1920s. I am interested in the story titled Tropical Sea Water to Generate Power. I would like to use this in an article I am constructing on Paul Boucherot, but I would need to cite the original publication which is not given. The plant was built in 1926 (or possibly 1930) so the newspaper story reporting the proposal must be prior to this. Can anyone find the original newspaper?

National Archive image

Resolved

Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right place, I'll give it a try: I'm looking for an image that might be in the National Archives or in the Jimmy Carter library. It was a state visit in 1979, June 6th, of German Chancelor Helmut Schmidt at the White House. There is a series of that day in the archives (ARC Identifier 185273), but no digital resources to find out more. Especially, I'm looking for a image of this lady who was with Schmidt at the visit (Marion Dönhoff). Has anybody experience if it there is a chance writing to the archive or having someone visit the library to receive a copy? Just to get an idea if it could be realistic...

• 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. WSJ print articles going back to 1979 and WSJ.com articles to November 8, 2006, are available. Please visit wsj.com.

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)

I'm not really sure about that version. For the usual version there is a search bar, so to bring up the article i put in the full title "Falun Gong Adds Media Weapons In Struggle With China's Rulers" and it popped up as the only entry. The search works on exact phrases so to combine phrases I use "AND". For example "Falun Gong AND media" is a search that will probably bring up relevant articles. I don't use the inverted commas in any of the searches.--Commander Keane (talk) 07:09, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

South African article

Can anyone find a copy of what exactly ANC MP Peace Mabe said about runner Caster Semenya? I've tried the South African Hansard, but no luck. One lead might be "The so-called gender machinery in South Africa requires much more attention", 26 August 2009, Cape Times. BrainyBabe (talk) 17:05, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

I've posted a copy here. Let me know when you've successfully downloaded it so I can remove it. Note that this appears to be an opinion piece (see the disclaimer on the very last line) so may not qualify as a reliable source for what Mabe said. Dr pda (talk) 23:55, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

I've downloaded that article, thank you very much, but it doesn't fully answer the question.

...chairperson Peace Mabe (ANC) first made the apt comparison between Saartjie Baartman, prodded at by white, male, European scientists almost exactly 200 years ago, and Semenya, who's been subjected to ostensibly "scientific" gender tests because she does not conform to a certain feminine identity construction.

Mabe indicated that while the media was saturated with this issue, the department's position was not being heard publicly. She also demanded to know whether it had provided any support to the "beautiful young lady". <snip> Afterwards, Mabe told Independent Newspapers political reporter Carien du Plessis that the department should have proactively prevented the tests by sending in lawyers.

"Make a comparison, "indicate", "demand" are all paraphrases, though I have no reason to doubt their accuracy. Any ideas how to get to the direct quotation? BrainyBabe (talk) 16:06, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

It looks like this page has what you need. It has a summary of what I think is the same meeting, copies of the documents handed out and even audio of the meeting. I haven't looked in detail at any of these though. Dr pda (talk) 21:35, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

Cystic fibrosis

Cystic fibrosis, a Featured article, is undergoing review of its featured status, but unfortunately copy editors are not working on prose and style issues before content and sourcing have been addressed. The entire October issue of Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine was dedicated to reviews of cystic fibrosis; MEDRS don't get much better than this, and these articles could really be used to spruce up the article and perhaps save it at FAR.

Einstein quote

Resolved

Can someone help me find a source that confirms or debunks the following quote, supposedly by Einstein?

"Since the mathematicians have invaded the theory of relativity, I do not understand it myself anymore."

Maybe this can be useful: Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
Thanks, Waldir ^talk 13:52, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

I am not sure what you want. Do you want the original source? It is mentioned in Albert Einstein, Philosopher-Scientist (by Schlipp), but unsourced.--droptone (talk) 17:51, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

I also looked into this. The quote with the wording you give appears on page 102 of the 1949 edition of Albert Einstein, Philosopher-Scientist P.A. Schlipp (ed.). This is in an essay by Arnold Sommerfeld entitled "To Albert Einstein's Seventieth Birthday"; according to a footnote this was translated specifically for the book by Schilpp, from "Zum Siebzigsten Geburtstag Albert Einsteins" which appeared in Deutsche Beiträge (Eine Zweimonatsschrift) Vol III, No 2, 1949. Thus there are grounds for believing the English version of this quote can be traced to Schilpp's book. Also, given that Sommerfeld was one of the "invading mathematicians" (according to his Wikipedia article "His mathematical contributions to the theory [of special relativity] helped its acceptance by the skeptics."), I would be inclined to believe it is genuine Dr pda (talk) 20:34, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Many thanks, droptone and Dr pda :) I found this in one of those powerpoint slideshows that get forwarded by email and thought it was very interesting, but doubted its authenticity, especially since I didn't find it in the (rather long) wikiquote page (not even the talk page). I'll add it there, but if you can think of an article here on Wikipedia it could be relevant, please add it as well! Cheers, Waldir ^talk 20:53, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

update: Actually, it had been added already :) I added the details and links from here, with due credit of course :) About the article on Wikipedia where to add this, there seems to be a perfect candidate: Mathematics of general relativity. What do you think? --Waldir ^talk 21:30, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure if it would add anything encyclopedic to that article. Dr pda (talk) 23:46, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

Well, think of it as one of those "did you know" facts: it's true, and it might amuse the reader and hopefully give more incentive to read the article (or the book, or the wikiquote page). We don't have to be oh-so-serious all the time :) --Waldir ^talk 08:55, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Send me a message via Wikimail and I will send you the paper. --тнояsтеn ⇔ 17:44, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Can anyone with access to the book "Concerning animals and other matters" (1914) by Edward Hamilton Aitken get a copy of the author's portrait and replace this poor quality image File:EHAitken.jpg from a Gutenberg Project scan of the book. Thanks Shyamal (talk) 09:06, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

There appears to be a slightly better quality version in this copy on the internet archive, which you may be able to do something with. Dr pda (talk) 02:26, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks a ton. I wonder how I missed that one. Shyamal (talk) 06:59, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
