Plates from Byzantinische Zeitschrift. Volume 36, Issue 1 (1936)

{{Resolved}} I've located a pdf copy of this periodical, [1], but the scans of the plates in it are illegible and useless. I'm looking for a good scan of plates II, III and IV - these are just after page 288 on the periodical, (page 299 on the pdf copy). It is for possible content for the Çandır Castle article.

@Worldbruce: Could you help with this one? The pages might be available on De Gruyter --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 18:52, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately, De Gruyter's scan of the plates is identical to the one the OP linked. Someone with access to an original may be able to produce a legible image with the right equipment and settings. --Worldbruce (talk) 19:17, 26 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. That's a pity about the copy on the degruyter site. I had also found it though couldn't access more than the sample page - but I had hoped that it might have better scans. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 02:09, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Tiptoethrutheminefield: I should have access to a printed copy later this week. However it is "reprinted in N.Y. by Johnson 1964-68" and I can't predict how good the images will be. Watch this space. Zerotalk 10:43, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Will watch. Probably will be a Xerox-type reprint - but maybe the pages with photos will be printed better since they are all on separate plates in the original. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 14:21, 5 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Tiptoethrutheminefield: The printed images are pretty crappy, but better than the PDF file. If you send me mail, I'll email them to you. Zerotalk 09:09, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for this, I've emailed you. They might be good enough to make it clearer what the text is talking about. Tiptoethrutheminefield (talk) 14:43, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Request to review article for Steve Whitney

{{resolved}} I am reviewing the sources at Steve Whitney, and would like somebody with Highbeam access to take a look at https://business.highbeam.com/2012/article-1G1-55373713/carol-bodie-inks-exrep-whitney ("Carol Bodie inks ex-rep Whitney." Hollywood Reporter , August 3, 1999, by Geier, Thom) for me. The short preview isn't enough there for me to determine:

  1. Is this a press release, or press release rehash
  2. Is the coverage actually significant or simply an announcement of an executive hiring

Assistance would be appreciated. --Whpq (talk) 14:32, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Whpq: The full text (44 words) is almost exactly the same as the free preview. The ONLY difference is that where the preview has ... at the end, the full text has the closing quotation mark for the title "Girl, Interrupted." --Worldbruce (talk) 02:22, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Pretty weird. Anyways, its totally fixed right now, and once again, thanks alot for the effort! :-) - LouisAragon (talk) 02:17, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Pages about Nicholas Eberstadt from Oxford University Press book

Hello. Can anyone please send me the pages about Nicholas Eberstadt from this book (Bynum, W. F.; Porter, Roy, eds. (2006). Oxford Dictionary of Scientific Quotations.

Can someone who has access please take a look at Kenney, Dave (November 1, 2007). Twin Cities Picture Show: A Century of Moviegoing. Minnesota Historical Society Press. ISBN 9780873515955. and compare its text about Minnessota's Terrace Theatre, with the text from the first revision of our article at Terrace Theatre (Minnesota) – which I have placed under investigation for potential copyright infringement. Please also check that book's copyright page to see if it's licensed in some free manner.

The issue is that the article cited this book as the source of certain content, even though that content is copied from a website the content of which is licensed under CC-By-SA 4.0. However, if the book is the source of the text, then the website claiming to license this content under CC-By-SA 4.0 has no authroity to do so, since the copyright was not owned by them in the first place.

Though I'm hoping for a general check, I think starting with the second paragraph in the history section that begins: "When the 1300 seat Terrace Theater opened in 1951, the spectacular venue was the most luxurious, comfortable and up-to-date theater in America" is a good bet sicne that pagraph was specifically cited to this book source. Thanks very much--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 15:58, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Fuhghettaboutit, the book is on Google books, and the required page appears to be included: [3] - page 117. As far as I can tell, the text seems well and truly paraphrased; although the content matches, no verbatim copies are evident. So I think we might be good here.

Searching for sources to improve this article, I've found that Google Scholar points to two articles that this discuss it, even if briefly. "Forbidden love: incest, generational conflict, and the erotics of power in Chinese BL fiction" and "Eroticism for the masses: Japanese manga comiss and their assimilation into the U.S." may provide a good help for this article and potentially for other related articles. Also, I would like to have access to the previous page to this one, if possible. Thanks in advance. Gabriel Yuji (talk) 23:01, 13 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Birth certificate of William Edward de Winton (1856 or 1857 - 1922)

{{resolved}} Is anyone here who has access to birth certificates? I have following problem: The obituary in Ibis (1923) state that he was born in 1856 and that he was 65 years old when he died. The National Archives in Kew also state that he was born in 1856 (see here) However, the date on his gravestone shows 1857 for the year of his birth. Is there any way to get access to his certificate of birth? --Melly42 (talk) 19:04, 18 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Melanie. The 1871 England Census has his age listed as 14, with an estimated birth year of "abt 1857" , born: Laugharne, Carmarthenshire, Wales ; Father's name: Robert H De Winton. The 1911 census lists his occupation as a "Retired Scientific Writer On Zoology" aged 54, estimated birth year:"abt 1857 ". There is however a record of one William Edward De Winton of Carmarthen district in the county of Carmarthenshire in the England & Wales Civil Registration Birth Index of October 1856. It does not go into any more detail. - NQ (talk) 21:28, 11 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much. William Lutley Sclater state 6 September 1856 in the Ibis obituary in 1923. So the entry in the England & Wales Civil Registration Birth Index might fit. Maybe De Winton's birth was registered in Oktober 1856. --Melly42 (talk) 21:38, 11 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Historical Dictionary of the Republic of Cameroon

{{Resolved}}

Hello. I'm working on destubbing Thérèse Sita-Bella and there's a reference for:

  • DeLancey, Mark W., and Mark Dike DeLancey (2000): Historical Dictionary of the Republic of Cameroon (3rd ed.). Lanham, Maryland: The Scarecrow Press.

I checked the book, and I can't find her name. I also tried looking under her birth name Thérèse Bella Mbida,. No luck. Could someone check if she is indeed in this edition or any of the other editions? (I checked the 4th edition, and no luck either.) If she can't be found, I'll remove the reference. Thanks! --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 20:11, 10 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@MrLinkinPark333: She's in there. The fourth edition skips to "First School Leaving Certificate" after the section titled "Fertile Crescent" and omits the section "Film Industry" present in the previous editions. Major productions in this period included Tam-Tam à Paris by Therèse Sita-Bella, and Adventure en France and La Grand Case Bamiléké by Jean-Paul Ngassa.
