How to use this page

Fixing references and common medical problems!
Warning: for legal reasons, we must note that the Resource Exchange cannot fix any medical problems. But it can fix references.

Making a request

Before asking volunteers to look for your source, try finding it yourself with the tools at your disposal.

In particular, eligible editors can use the Wikipedia Library, which gives access to content provided by numerous academic publishers.

• Though we would prefer you to ask for a specific journal, article or work, we will accept open-ended questions. You can ask for all kinds of sources here, either on this page or by writing directly to an active user.
• Provide as much detail as possible: a full citation with author, title, publisher, date and identifiers like DOI, ISBN, ISSN, PMID, OCLC, etc. Indicate which article you need this for.
• We cannot send you full book/thesis copies due to copyright. Narrow down your request to a specific chapter or page(s).
• Add the {{Resolved}} template when your request is completed.
• Filled requests are archived. Requests unfilled after three months will also be archived.

Fulfilling a request

• Anyone may offer advice and fulfill requests, in full or in part. When fulfilling a part of a request, tell others which one so that they don't have to do the same work.
• Notify (mention) the requester using {{u|REQUESTER_USERNAME}}.
• You can:
  • post a URL address ( https://... ) if the material is available online and the webpage does not infringe others' copyrights
  • share scans of pages or documents using a file-sharing service if legal
  • upload out of copyright works to Wikimedia Commons and/or Wikisource (make sure your institution's policies allow this). Check Wikimedia Commons's guide for copyright in each jurisdiction if in doubt.
  • email a link or plain text to a requester using the Special:EmailUser ("wikimail") feature. Attachments are not supported, so you need the user's email address to send them. You can configure your wikimail in Special:Preferences.

Copyright tips

Respect copyrights and terms of services of any online services you use. Limit sharing content online that the copyright holders have restricted access to to the minimum level: only to the individuals who need it, only to the minimal degree necessary to fulfil the request and only to improve Wikipedia. We share content under a presumed non-commercial, educational, fair use purpose to improve our articles or create new ones. Whenever possible, share copies privately. You should not upload copyrighted copies from print publications or online databases for unrestricted distribution via open websites. Individual editors are solely responsible for sharing copyrighted content and assume all legal risks.

Multiple fossil cat-related requests

These are a series of scientific articles I am unable to access online. I have checked the Wikipedia Library as well as Google Scholar. Most of these are unlikely to be in English. Two of them (the ones by Bakr) I suspect are rare outside of Pakistan.

Thanks, SilverTiger12 (talk) 16:22, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

 Doing... nos. 4 and 6. Struck out on the rest. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 20:26, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

@SilverTiger12, Are you sure about the publication information you cite for number 6? I'm looking at what I think is volume one issue 4 and just can't find that article. Also the link you provide is to a november issue, issue 4 is from April. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 19:53, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Unfortunately, no, I'm not certain about the publication information; I tracked it down as a potential source second or third-hand a while ago. Doing a search again, I can't track down where the issue 4 part came from, just that it is in volume 1. My apologies. SilverTiger12 (talk) 21:15, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Ok, I will look through volume 1. Unfortunately it has no real page numbers. But I will do my best, and ping you when I track it down. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 22:55, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

@Eddie891: I'm very interested in no. 4 and no. 6 too, please send me a copy too. – Doc Taxon • Talk • 10:08, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

@SilverTiger12 and @Doc Taxon, I've got no. 4. Doc, will send it to you. ST, can you email me and I will respond with a pdf Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 14:41, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Email sent. SilverTiger12 (talk) 15:32, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Sent Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 15:36, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Not to be rude, Eddie, but the article refers to a "Plate I", with 4 figures, that isn't in the PDF. Do you also have that or no? Happy editing, SilverTiger12 (talk) 23:10, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

@Eddie891: no 6. is at pages 185–201 in vol. 1, unfortunately I don't know the issue number, but volume 1 has issues 1-5. – Doc Taxon • Talk • 21:13, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Done. Thank you! SilverTiger12 (talk) 21:17, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Sent nos. 1, 2, 7 – Doc Taxon • Talk • 21:30, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

@SilverTiger12: Please clarify what portions of this request are complete and what portions are still outstanding. The tradition method is to strike the list items that you no longer need. Next week I'll be at a library that has 3, 4, and 6, but am reluctant to spend my limited time there scanning hundreds of pages if you may not still need them. --Worldbruce (talk) 19:34, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

@Worldbruce: I have done so. Only 3, 5, and 6 are still needed. Unfortunately I don't think I can narrow down the needed page ranges in 3 and 6. Although for 3 the most needed part is the section on felids (cats), Miomachairodus in specific, if you only have limited time. And for 6, close to the same: section on felids, Epimachairodus zwierzykii in specific. Happy editing, SilverTiger12 (talk) 19:43, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

SilverTiger12, email me for #3. --Usernameunique (talk) 18:46, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

  • You can preview different little bits of it by searching through the book for "Panthera" and "pathanensis".

Let me know you think if it would be useful for me to request an interlibrary loan (which can be physical or digital) for chapter 105 of "Proceedings of Fourth Pakistan Congress of Zoology" through my university. The second WorldCat link says that University of Minnesota, Twin Cities has a copy, and both it and my university are in the Big Ten Academic Alliance, so it should be more likely to be accepted and should be processed faster, compared to it being at some unaffiliated institution.

Solomon Ucko (talk) 02:15, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

A lead! Thank you! I've had a hard enough time finding this source to say yes, please request the interlibrary loan. I think that might actually be what I'm looking for. Happy editing, SilverTiger12 (talk) 18:45, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

Perfect! I've requested an ILL for it; I'll let you know when I get updates on its status. Solomon Ucko (talk) 20:08, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

@SilverTiger12: I've received the scan. It's short enough that I'll just transcribe it here:

[...]

105. On a Collection of Siwalik Carnivora
Abu Bakr
Department of Zoology, University of the Punjab, Lahore

In the Department of Zoology, Punjab University, the total number of the speciments of fossil Carnivora is eighteen. More collection was made last year. The total number of species that discovered is sixteen. Of these four i.e. Vishnucyon nagriensis, Sivaonyx minor, Lycaena felina and Panthera dhokpathanensis are new. The other speciments also given additional information about the known species. The work has been carried out under Pakistan Foundation, Project No. P-PU/Bio (102).

— p. 51

This is page 51, and https://search.worldcat.org/title/62447645 says the book is 51 pages in total, so this is presumably the last page, so that's it.

Solomon Ucko (talk) 20:05, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Hm, so I'm still looking for the monograph itself. Thank you though. SilverTiger12 (talk) 21:57, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Oh right, hmm... Should I try requesting an inter-library loan and see if my university's librarians can figure something out, perhaps borrowing it or getting a scan from the National Library of Pakistan? Solomon Ucko (talk) 01:08, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

It's a long shot, but I'd appreciate it. SilverTiger12 (talk) 01:37, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

Makes sense. I've submitted a request for it. I'll let you know when I get any updates. I'm required to give a deadline, so I gave them about 6 months, since this could be slow. Solomon Ucko (talk) 07:01, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

To editor SilverTiger12: Issues of De Ingenieur in Nederlandsch Indie are readable here. I didn't find that article, though I didn't look very hard. Maybe that collection is incomplete or maybe the volume or issue is wrong. Alas there is no search engine. Zero^talk 02:18, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

@SilverTiger12: Article #6 is in volume 1, issue 11, a pdf of which can be downloaded here. It's on pages 21-40 of the pdf, in print they're numbered IV 185 - IV 202. --Worldbruce (talk) 07:47, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Omigosh, thank you!! Online-accessible sources are the best. Happy editing, SilverTiger12 (talk) 16:57, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

1906 article in Arts and Crafts

• Maryon, Herbert (March 1906). "Metal Work". Arts and Crafts.

For Herbert Maryon

According to the below article, The March number of "Arts and Crafts" is, as usual, full of articles which are intended to provide students and art workers with useful information on a variety of subjects in which they are interested. The most important of these articles are "Various Methods of Finishing Oak," by Mr. W. Daniell; "Metal Work," by Mr. H. J. Maryon; "Practical Talks about Wood-Carving," by Mr. H. Turner; "Inlaying," by Mr. A[rthur] C[awdron] Horth; and "Bookbinding," by Mr. F. Sangorski and Mr. G. Sutcliffe. Among the more notable illustrations are reproductions of drawings by Henner, E. Detaille, and Feyen Perrin.

• "The March number of "Arts and Crafts"". Art and Artists. The Globe. No. 34, 559. London. 14 March 1906. p. 4.

The starting point is to figure out what journal this is—a task not helped by its generic name. There's a good chance that this is a small journal that didn't last long. The article would be Maryon's second published work that I'm aware of, five months after "Early Irish Metal Work", in another small journal. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Usernameunique (talk) 01:42, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

Based on the location, maybe [1]? Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 02:18, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

Thanks very much for that, Eddie891. I think you're right. I sent an email to a library that looks like it has a copy of the issue in question, but didn't receive a response. I've now submitted an ILL request, so hopefully that will both prove you right, and get the article. --Usernameunique (talk) 05:53, 26 November 2023 (UTC)

Citations from old Art and living magazines

Hello. I'm trying to determine whether there are enough sources to save Richard Whitney (artist). At present the article has no citations at all, but it does quote from Town & Country (magazine) and Fine Art Connoisseur, though without detailed citations. The subject has provided me with more useful citations, but I can't find those articles online (I can find the issue of Fine Art Connoiseur in archive.com, but not the article). I can't see a resource in WP:LIBRARY that looks promising. I've put all the information I have in the citations: I realise it's incomplete, and I will be asking the subject for more info (see WP:HD#Author request deletions on my Gallery at Richard Whitney (artist)). Anybody got access to either of these?

Decatur Daily newspaper articles from the 1990s

This is for a relevant articles for deletion on FRwiki. I noticed Montreal Gazette had archives on Newspapers.com but I havent found other archives of English newspapers.

Thanks, WhisperToMe (talk) 13:29, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

WhisperToMe, have you tried searching the Bibliothèque et Archives Nationales du Québec (BanQ)? They have pretty extensive archives over there. Szmenderowiecki (talk) 15:48, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

Not yet. Lemme see what I can find there today. Thank you for the tip! WhisperToMe (talk) 15:51, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

From my first search result I found a good primary source: an international agreement on the operations of the school. It's not the secondary sources that I had looked for, but it's compelling and would be a good further reading entry. WhisperToMe (talk) 19:57, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

WhisperToMe, what's the progress on this request? Szmenderowiecki (talk) 15:02, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

@Szmenderowiecki: The good news is that the FRwiki article survived its AFD due to other sources I found in English (and one in French). It's no longer critical to find these, though it may still be nice if a French speaking Wikipedian knew of additional resources and stumbled upon this request. WhisperToMe (talk) 20:16, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

Well I speak some French but I'm not based in Quebec so that's about everything I can offer.

You may try to look into archives of some Montreal newspapers, look here for possible candidates. Szmenderowiecki (talk) 13:12, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

For User:Szmenderowiecki/sandbox/Touquet, particularly WWII and post-war reconstruction - will be thrown directly into Le Touquet article

The first article is available through OpenEdition, but The Wikipedia Library access to it is broken, hence my request. The second and third books are very likely offline, and I don't have relevant pages, so I'd appreciate someone with ILL (buying ILL vouchers). Obviously I cannot and will not request everything, but I need some info about what was happening, how many Germans were living in that city, what they were doing there, what did they do with the women, elderly and children who remained in the resort, preparations for the Atlantic Wall as relevant to the city and the reason why Le Touquet was so densely mined even though it had little intrinsic military value. Any relevant excerpts that will reflect on this issue will be welcome. I want to make a text that's max 2 paragraphs, beginning from the internment order of enemy males under 60.

For the first one, you can see a bit from the search preview on Google Books: https://www.google.com/books/edition/Journal_of_Glenn_T_Seaborg_May_1_1971_No/jANEAQAAIAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=Sassoun. I can try to request an interlibrary loan.

Same thing for the second one: https://www.google.com/books/edition/Armenia/eTi6AAAAIAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=David, https://www.google.com/books/edition/Armenia/eTi6AAAAIAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=sasun. My university is part of USMAI (University System of Maryland and Affiliated Institutions), and so is Frostburg State University, which has a copy of https://search.worldcat.org/title/8806507, so a loan request should be relatively quick and easy.

Bird name synonym

• Moreau, R.E. "The ploceine weavers of the Indian Ocean islands". Journal für Ornithologie. Retrieved 25 November 2023.

For Aldabra fody, as I am doing a major expansion of the article and I cannot figure out who the first author to use the synonym Foudia eminentissima aldabrana was; I think it was most probably Moreau, but I need confirmation (strangely, no taxonomic database I have visited has mentioned this name, but it is brought up by the IUCN and others without making it clear who used it first). If not here, Birds of the World, which I also cannot access, may have some information.

Thanks, Bruce1ee, unsure why I couldn't find it there. Sadly, it does not use the name F. e. aldabrana, but it does state that the bird is most likely conspecific with a different fody. Unsure where to go from here. Anonymous 18:06, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

It is Ridgway as given on the article. Added a ref there for the original description. Its placement as a subspecies of eminentissima does not change the taxonomic authority. Shyamal (talk) 07:56, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

@User:Shyamal, but Ridgway described it as a full species. It was then described by later authors as a subspecies (now considered a species again), but I can't figure out who first did this. Anonymous 18:06, 25 November 2023 (UTC)

I also searched for "Huemules" (as you mentioned in a different thread on this page), and found p. 309. The only page of those in the scan is p. 224, and the only mention I see of it there is in a map.

If you contact me via Special:EmailUser, I can send you p. 224. I can send you additional pages if you explain how you're going to use them to contribute to Wikipedia. If you'd like, I can also put in an ILL for the other relevant pages, perhaps with a page of context on each side to avoid getting half a sentence, so pp. 54-56, 58-64, 133-135, 308-310, 473-476, 511-515.

IEEE paper on control data encoded in audio streams

• "ST 337:2008 - SMPTE Standard - Format for Non-PCM Audio and Data in an AES3 Serial Digital Audio Interface". IEEE Xplore. 23 January 2008. doi:10.5594/SMPTE.ST337.2008.

I'm working on a project to improve Wikipedia with information about film technology, including accessibility features in film, special film technologies such as motion control and 4D film, and the preservation of the associated technical data along with the film. Some of this data is encoded inside the film's audio stream and then processed by an external decoder. This is a very specialized process for which I've had a hard time finding reliable, technical sources.

For Digital Cinema Package (and other related articles), I need additional technical sources regarding the packaging of external control data inside digital audio streams. Other examples of the work I've done so far on these topics include the D-Box & Accessibility sections of the DCP article, as well as D-Box Technologies#Movie theatres, Accessibility#Hearing impairment, Hearing loss#Management, Sign language#Technology, Brazilian Sign Language#In film, Sign-language media, Movie theater#Accessibility, and Audio description#Operation.

I have an IEEE source I've been using for these article already which is open access (https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9161348), however I need an additional IEEE source which is not. I have tried several online resources, including through my local library & EBSCOhost, and I have not been able to find access for this publication. I had access to HighBeam previously, however that program was shut down. Is this paper available to Wikipedians through a library or research partner?

For The Wonderful Sea-Horse (Iranian folktale), which was a tale provided by Masdi Galin Hanom. I already have a translated version printed in 1950 - which I will be going over -, but the German book contains the German translation (which I suppose is a more faithful translation of her tale) and notes by Ulrich Marzolph. Tale nr. 2 is another Iranian variant of tale type 314, but a summary cannot identify which is which.

Varieties and usage of kimchi

• 손, 경희 (1991). "김치의 종류와 이용". 한국식생활문화학회지 (in Korean). 6 (4): 503–520.

For Kimchi. I've been looking for ages for this paper. The journal's online archives do not have this paper (page numbers for volume 6 only go up to 464). The journal does have an ISSN (1225-7060), but they've only had that since 2014. They have no doi for papers this old. I've checked koreascience.kr and DBpia to no avail.

Here are Google Scholar links to citations to this paper: "Variety and use of kimchi" (cited by 6), "Classification of kimchi and its use" (cited by 5), "Kinds and usage of Kimchi" (cited by 5), "The sorts and use of kimchi" (cited by 4), and "김치의 종류와 이용" (the original Korean name of the paper, cited by 26).

The best chance I think is if someone has access to the physical edition of volume 6 of 한국식생활문화학회지 (Journal of the Korean Society of Food Culture) and is able to find this paper and scan it.

Need a microfilm from St Pancras, London (British Library)

I need a London resident willing to go to the British Library at St Pancras and scan the microfilm of a 1965 Evening Standard article.

(The article is not available on Newspapers.com; see my previous WP:RX request here [3].)

Relevant details:

• Evening Standard
• Title appears to be: "IT'S THE GHOST OF LILLIE LANGTRY - AS QUEER THINGS HAPPEN IN HER OLD HOME".
• Date of the article is April 2, 1965.
• One exact quote I've seen attributed several times to it is "Langtry's ghost appeared one day".

I need a copy of the article in full (it has been excerpted in at least one book and a few news articles), which is why I need the microfilm. I also need the page number.

Article being improved: Lillie Langtry

No need to discuss this again

Where? Typed it in but not coming up. MustafaO (talk) 20:05, 18 December 2023 (UTC) Type it on the book search bar. Type Haber-awal and you will see it. Here is the direct quote from page 9 “ A third clan with a presence in Awdal is the Isaaq, particularly the Haber-Awal sub-clan. Though they have relatively little historical presence in the region, the Isaaq are playing a growing role in two areas of Awdal.” Hawkers994 (talk) 20:15, 18 December 2023 (UTC) Still can't find it and I typed it aswell on the search function. Besides the information you provided doesn't match the content you wrote on the article that they live there as a community. What does growing role mean, that doesn't mean they inhabit the region? Especially considering every other source contradicts it. Can you show on the source clearly that they are a community that live in the region? Growing presence and trade doesn't mean anything. MustafaO (talk) 20:30, 18 December 2023 (UTC) your prejudice to deny a whole community that lives in this region cannot be overlooked. As stated before on page 9 it clearly states whats on the actual Awdal article itself word for word. Hawkers994 (talk) 20:49, 18 December 2023 (UTC) No need to call me prejudiced, Im asking for the content that states they inhabit the region clearly and in no uncertain terms. I don't know why but when I type it in the search function nothing comes up. Do you have any other source that can back it up that is actually accessible. Anyway I'll leave it here. There is clear no benefit in this back and forth and would like to see if anyone can corroborate the source and see if it says what you've stated. Otherwise bring another clear citation.

I've been working on the Besanosaurus article for a while now, and have seen this publication listed as important for this taxon in the literature (namely in Maisch, 2010); however, I have been unable to find any trace of it or its journal online beyond citations, so I unfortunately cannot give any further pointers on where a copy could be found.

In this case, I suspect the tale is an Iranian variant, since Mirza and Bibi are the names of the characters in other Iranian-language variants. Anna Rozenfeld was a Tajik Iranist, and in the "Preface" she might have indicated the source for the tale.

For Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven

The first source is a book that discusses the development of Canadian music in the early 2000s. This chapter in particular talks about Godspeed You! Black Emperor, including the album Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven. While I can somewhat access it on Google Books, it does not have page numbers, and not all the pages are available. The footnotes from the book I have added to the article in question are guesswork because I do not know the exact page numbers and would like a stable copy for verification and ease.

The rest are reviews of the album taken from either the review score sidebar already in the article or the album's entry on Metacritic. I have applied on the Wikipedia Library to access Rock's Backpages, but there's no guarantee I will find them there.

For Sang Thong. The book is about "mural paintings" and makes reference to the tale of "Suwannasang", another account of the tale of the "Conch Shell Prince", a Southeast Asian tale of Buddhist provenance. I'm asking for the summary first, since there are two tales about a queen giving birth to the shell prince, and I need to better locate the version (which appears to be ca. pp. 38ff), and to see the context of where the tale is depicted in murals.

It looks like you're searching for "Tanyoxarces son of Amytis"; HathiTrust says that "Tanyoxarces" occurs on pp. 46, 63, 65, 68, 70, 71, so I'll transcribe the relevant parts of those pages.

Article about Vietnamese folktales of a supernatural bridegroom

• Tran Quynh Ngoc Bui (2012). "Subjectivity and Ethnicity in Vietnamese Folktales with Metamorphosed Heroes". In John Stephens (ed.). Subjectivity in Asian Children's Literature and Film. Routledge. pp. 151–162. ISBN 9780203098646.

For King Iguana. The article is by a Vietnamese researcher who recognized a local tale type: heroine marries husband of supernatural origin; her jealous sisters try to drown her in the sea; she gets an egg that hatches a rooster and crows to alert its master when his ship is coming back home - a narrative identical to the Indonesian "King Iguana" and other Indonesian/Southeast Asian tales.

My university has a print copy of https://search.worldcat.org/title/746838327; if you remind me after I'm back on campus starting January 23nd, I can take a look at it.

Wouldn't comparing the King Iguana story to this story yourself constitute original research, though?

Solomon Ucko (talk) 05:37, 29 December 2023 (UTC)

@Sollyucko:, in this case, "King Iguana" is mentioned by Dutch scholar Jan de Vries in the early 1920s with other Indonesian variants of animal bridegroom tales. Dutch G. A. J. Hazeu also published a conference paper in 1904 about animal bridegroom tales in Java, which match the Indonesian type. Nicolaus Andriani also described the character of the animal bridegroom in Indonesia. I want to check the Vietnamese type first, since Tran Quynh Ngoc Buia abstracted a similar tale type, but will put it on the back burner until I have more sources. Regardless, I can use Tran Quynh Ngoc Bui's article to translate "Sọ Dừa" (an article in the Vietnamese wikipedia) to English (since I did find English language summaries of the tale), and indicate King Iguana as a "See also".

PC Games review

• Horn, Robert (March 2012). "Test: Insane 2". PC Games (in German). p. 102. ISSN 0946-6304.

For a draft article for a game called Insane 2 in my sandbox (latest revision as of this post), I need the full review from this source. Note that the author also published a review for the same game in PC Action, but it is possible that the PC Games review has more depth, and this source has the advantage of being a premier source for PC gaming in Germany anyway.

Material to confirm release date of "Gabriel Knight" video game

Hi, can anyone access this entire collection of archived press releases from Sierra? If not, could you retrieve the specific press release found in this newspaper article titled (preferably dated) "Supernatural software debuts" somewhere online? I need it to find the exact release date for The Beast Within: A Gabriel Knight Mystery.

For Rover SD1#Police use - this seems to hold a very in-depth account of police specification SD1s that I can't find anywhere else, peculiarly not even in Ant Anstead's Cops and Robbers. This book may also be reliable for the SD1 overall, but that's not what I'm here for - seemingly out of print and going for over £20 online for delivery at the end of January 2024, could anyone provide the textual contents of Chapter 7? So far, all I've been able to find is info on the demo car, a list of police forces who operated Series 1 SD1s, and I suspect the last two items from a list of Series 2 operators.

For Kuntillet Ajrud inscriptions

I'd like to fix a disagreement between the Hebrew and English versions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuntillet_Ajrud_inscriptions#Meshel_(%E2%84%96_unknown) There also seems to be a discrepancy between Meshel's early paper "The Name of God in the Wilderness of Zin" in 1976 and later mentions on the number of inscriptions found in situ on (intact) plastered wall. That paper contains some lovely details, but I'm conflicted about adding some things since I don't know if they were drastically rethought by 2012.

Anyone willing to find a library loan (University of California system?), personally lend or donate (druthers!) a copy of the book to me, it would be more than put to its good use.

"Colored Voters Backed Truman". New Journal and Guide

• (11/13/1948). "Colored Voters Backed Truman". New Journal and Guide (1916-) , p. E8A.

Please send any relevant text that mentions Hubert Humphrey (the mayor of Minneapolis then).

It's for the article Hubert Humphrey. He gave a speech at the Democratic National Convention in 1948 in support of a civil rights platform. The platform was adopted, and its widely considered to have swung the presidential election that year in Harry Truman's favor.

A preview of the title I am able to access goes: "Colored Voters Backed Truman: Majority Found Giving Support To Democratic Party Nominees Truman's Stand On Civil Rights Seen As One Factor In..."

Thanks, Bremps... 03:05, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

I have access to the full thing as an image via ProQuest, so I looked through it and transcribed it manually; this is the chunk I found that mentions Humphrey:

An estimated 70% of the Negro vote in Minnesota went for Truman for President and helped elect Minneapolis Mayor Hubert H. Humphrey, civil rights advocate, U. S. senator over Joseph H. Ball, incumbent.

Minnesota Negroes concentrated in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul and Duluth, as late as March were found to be 54% in favor of Wallace and only 22% for Truman.

This trend changed drastically in July after Hubert H. Humphrey's fight for a strong civil rights plank at the Democratic convention and the subsequent formation of the Dixiecrat party.

A poll made in August revealed that the Negro voters had left Wallace camp with 68% of those questioned favoring Truman.

St. Paul Negroes helped elect 32-year-old Eugene McCarthy, a young liberal of the Humphrey type, to congress. Minneapolis Negroes of the third district joined in electing Roy Wier, a labor leader, to congress. MacKinnon, his opponent, had held himself aloof from the Negro voters.

Alexander Alekhine's Chess Games, 1902–1946 (1998)

• Verhoeven, Robert G. P.; Skinner, Leonard M. (1998). Alexander Alekhine's Chess Games, 1902–1946. McFarland. pp. 364–371. ISBN 978-0-786-40117-8.

For List of World Chess Championships. Specifically, I'm trying to track down reliable sources for the specific locations of games in championships played across multiple locations: chessgames.com says this book contains that information, but I cannot track it down.
