For St. Volodymyr Ukrainian Cemetery. I can't find anything on this online, probably because of the romanization of the title. I'd be grateful for any amount of help finding it.

Thanks, Mcrsftdog (talk) 17:38, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Mcrsftdog: Given the cemetery's topicality, perhaps contact University of Toronto library to see who their point person is for Internet Archive? I'm sure that they'd add it to the digitization list. They just uploaded a book on August 19, their first since March 19, so I'm guessing that they're back, at least to a limited extent. -- Zanimum (talk) 23:44, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

~~@Cplakidas: If this wasn't 180 pages I might be able to get this scanned for you... is there a 50 page (max) section you'd really want? Umimmak (talk) 01:19, 5 August 2020 (UTC)~~[reply]

Hi Umimmak, unfortunately I have not been able to find anything about the article's internal structure, so I don't know. Is there an index of sections? Constantine ✍ 10:30, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

~~Cplakidas during COVID I don’t have direct access to it; it would have been a scan and deliver request, but there are limits to those. Umimmak (talk) 13:29, 5 August 2020 (UTC)~~[reply]

Umimmak I see. In that case, based on the sporadic references I've seen to specific page(s), I'd ask for pp. 200-250. Thanks a lot for your assistance! Constantine ✍ 13:40, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

~~@Cplakidas: okay well I put in the request, let's see if it gets approved. Hopefully I'll have something within the next days. Umimmak (talk) 13:51, 5 August 2020 (UTC)~~[reply]

@Cplakidas: ah I'm so sorry :( I was just notified my library confusingly only has Volume VII in the New Series, which isn't the volume you need. Apologies for any false hope. Umimmak (talk) 15:13, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Umimmak damn, that's disappointing, but thanks anyway :) Constantine ✍ 16:18, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Cplakidas, well, I second the comment that that's just too many pages. If you're based in Vienna, perhaps you have a chance to access the volume in the National Library (ZDB record). If, for whatever reason, that doesn't work for you, I can either (a) check first if there is a table of contents (and, if so, send it to you) or (b) send you the requested page range (ie, pp. 200-250) right away. Let me know how you wish to proceed. Thanks. — Pajz (talk) 17:52, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Reference supporting a statement about the addition of polynomials

{{resolved}} I am struggling to find a reference for a basic statement about the addition of polynomials. It's for this article: Polynomials. While it's trivial to find references supporting the claim that the set of polynomials is closed under the operation of addition, some editors (including myself) would like to see if we could construct a statement that can be referenced without the word "closed". The current wording is:

~~a sum of polynomials is always another polynomial.~~
~~Proposed alternative wording includes:~~

~~the addition of polynomials is an operation that takes any two polynomials and produce always another polynomial~~
~~The suggestion has been made that this source is worth reviewing:~~
~~Davenport, James Harold; Siret, Y.; Tournier, F.; Tournier, E. (1993). Computer Algebra: Systems and Algorithms for Algebraic Computation. Academic Press. ISBN 978-0-12-204232-4.~~
I see that it exists in Google books but in very limited snippet view. Can I persuade someone to take a look and see if either of the phrases linked above or something similar could be referenced in this book?

~~Davenport, James Harold; Siret, Y.; Tournier, F.; Tournier, E. (1993). Computer Algebra: Systems and Algorithms for Algebraic Computation. Academic Press. ISBN 978-0-12-204232-4.~~

~~Thanks,~~ S Philbrick (Talk) 13:20, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind - I reworded the claim and located a source.--S Philbrick (Talk) 13:56, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Sphilbrick: the book is available on Lib Gen, wink wink, but if you prefer you can email me and I can send you my copy of the relevant pages. Umimmak (talk) 14:00, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Umimmak, Thanks for the very prompt response, but lets hold for a bit to see if my revised wording and reference sticks. I hope it will, but if it fails, I may be back, hat in hand. S Philbrick (Talk) 14:37, 4 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

1960s-1980s newspaper sources for Geoffrey Chaucer biographer

Hello. I'm looking for 1960s-1980s newspapers sources for my draft on Donald R. Howard, who wrote on Geoffrey Chaucer while working as an academic. I haven't found many sources apart from encylopedia entries. However, newspaper sources would help me avoid reusing the encyclopedia. Specifically, I'm looking for any sources from the 1960s to 1980s that talks about his academic career, his works on Chaucer and/or Howard's death in March 1987. Thanks!

Hello, I am looking for this article in order to get a list of nominees for the 2004 Teen Choice Awards.
