The Battle of Britain 2
A slight challenge here on The Battle of Britain 2, in that the publisher of the game posted reviews on their website, and listed the name of the publication but not the date or other information. So what I am asking for here, is if anyone is able to locate originals of these reviews, can you just please provide the citation for me so that I can reasonably include these reviews in the article?
The reviews in question are, as posted on archive.org:
According to this issue, the game (also known as "Battle for Britain II") was released in Dec 91, which may give a window of time to look for its contemporary reviews. KHR FolkMyth (talk) 19:29, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The Cinderella Cycle and tale type ATU 314, "Goldener" - List of Tales
For The Black Colt and related articles about tale type ATU 314, "Goldener" or "The Youth Transformed to a Horse". In the indicated pages of Anne Birgitta Rooth's work, she lists some tales on pages 252-254 in regards to her "Type C + 314", that is, the stepmother introduction of ATU 314 (see "The Black Colt" and "Donotknow").
Pajz, not to abuse your goodwill, but is it possible to scan only these few pages?
Hello, @Compassionate727:. I was aware of the link. Turns out it is only the book cover. Even when I log in, the site tells me the archive is 1 page long - the image of the cover.KHR FolkMyth (talk) 14:58, 17 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Many thanks to the one who brought me the Inhalt. At any rate, Megas's book cites the French and the Indian traditions of the tale type, and the section is very short, so I believe there isn't much of problem to peruse it.
For Wikipedia's various articles on Greek women poets, particularly Telesilla, Praxilla, Moero, and Myrtis. The article was previously published in German in M.L. West, Die Griechische Dichterin Bild Und Rolle 1996 (pp. 9 ff.), and I'd take that if that's all that people can get hold of but I'd much prefer the English!
Yannis Galakanis, 'Doing Business: Two Unpublished Letters from Athanasios Rhousopoulos to Arthur Evans in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford'
For Athanasios Rhousopoulos (currently a redlink which I'm working on writing - has a Greek version but needs more sources to make the jump to English); depending on results, possibly other articles to do with 19th-century Greek archaeology.
For Venus in fiction. A different edition of the book was published in the same year under the title Farewell Fantastic Venus, and going by ISFDB it seems like the relevant essay is on page 1–8 in that version.
For Armadillo shoe, also any other McQueen article I can use it for. This may also be in the April 2010 issue, if it isn't found in March - I have two books that each give a different date. Thanks, ♠PMC♠ (talk)18:07, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hey all, would anyone that has a subscription to newspapers.com be able to archive this page so it bypasses the paywall? Or at least help me get an easier way to see all the info? Thanks, – zmbro(talk) (cont)19:53, 13 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
For Draft:Clifton Conference, looking just for the bottom of page 40, "The Clifton Plan", and however-many pages following that discuss the Clifton Plan or Clifton Conference. It is listed on HathiTrust.

The Belgian Parliament, 1894-1972 by Paul van Molle
For Jean Leclercq (politician). The subject was allegedly a Belgian MP (elected in the 1968 Belgian general election), but I am unable to find a source online that proves this. There is an offline source cited on his nl.wiki article that would show likely he was an MP. The source is The Belgian Parliament, 1894-1972 by Paul van Molle, and while I cannot find a GBooks page, there is this brief description.
For Javanese contact with Australia. I only need copies of pages 39 and 73 and/or anything in the book that mentions the place "Pujut" (supposedly in Australia as claimed in an earlier version of the article).

As for #1, I will send you this article + a valuable article from the same newspaper that describes the history of trams in the city. It is the article which the 31 March 2011 edition refers to. They will be sent by a file-sharing link. Szmenderowiecki (talk) 13:36, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! I have no idea how you found this but it's very helpful. I might come back for other articles from the same source in future. Toadspike (talk) 13:06, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Jynx ruficollis in The Ostrich: Journal of African Ornithology
Does anyone have access to the following, needed for red-throated wryneck? I can only see the abstract. Tarboton, Warwick (1976). "Aspects of the Biology of Jynx ruficollis". The Ostrich: Journal of African Ornithology. 47 (2–3): 99–112. doi:10.1080/00306525.1976.9639545.

Would anyone happen to have a copy of Mojo magazine issue 255 (February 2015), or know where I could get a free version online? It contains the magazine's choices of David Bowie's 100 best songs and I wanted to get the page numbers and any other commentary they might provide.

Thanks Usernameunique. I've tried the email and am going to mark this as {{resolved}} because numerous people have given it a shot and it looks like it is not going to be readily available. Thanks everyone for trying. SusunW (talk) 05:57, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, you're talking about the chapter no. 20 Nationalism in Iran by Hamid Ahmadi, located in the book at the pages 265-279. – Doc Taxon • Talk • 15:55, 19. Jan 2023 (UTC)
An article published in the New York Daily News on 15 May 2022
Please could someone help me get hold of the article titled "When criticism of Israel is and isn't anti-Semitic", published in the New York Daily News on 15 May 2022. I need to read the news article in case it is useful for my work on Wikipedia article Nexus Task Force. The Web site refuses to grant me access due to GDPR. It responds with this Web page. Thanks, Misha Wolf (talk) 13:42, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I just got informed it was available through the author's personal website by one of the contributors at the Fluoxetine article. Request no longer needed. Sideswipe9th (talk) 23:07, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, because the version on the author's personal website might be a pre-print and different from what was published I'm un-marking this as resolved and would again like to request the paper as published please. Sideswipe9th (talk) 00:04, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes; and one sign that the two versions are the same is that the page numbering matches up with the citation, whereas pre-prints (and draft versions) often have their own numbering (like starting from 1). DanCherek (talk) 00:13, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Perfect! I was going to diff them, but you're right that the page numbering does match up. Thanks.

I don't know the pages, I need the table of contents and the page of the index of names starting by "SY" first.
I was hoping to get this case study to determine if its a good source. If you can please email the document, at scope_creep@hotmail.com Its an very old email address. Thanks. scope_creepTalk02:19, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
{{Resolved}} Are past US News & World Report articles freely available anywhere online? I do not have access to EBSCO, I do have Newspapers.com (doesn't seem to be there) and maybe some general access at Wikipedia Library. I am trying to find an easily-accessible online source for the May 2, 1988 edition of US News & World Report, an article with the title "Racial tensions, drugs and poverty—an explosive mix in rural North Carolina; There's trouble in Robeson County" by Joseph Shapiro & Ronald Taylor. The article is on Page 24 of this edition. Thanks, Shearonink (talk) 02:35, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I added that back when I had LexisNexis access via my university. I don't have regular access any more (having graduated), but I just got a PDF of this article from a friend. @Shearonink: If you'd like I can email you the PDF if you supply me with an email address through the Wikipedia email function. -Indy beetle (talk) 03:23, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Indy beetle, no worries. Kind offer but my week has just now gone nuts - I had wanted to be able to read it online since I came across the source in the course of my GA Review of your The Robesonian takeover, the US News & World Report article looked interesting. Now I don't know when I'll be able to get to it, thanks anyway. Shearonink (talk) 07:19, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Schnittpunkt (Swiss papercutting magazine)
I'm looking for the article about Clara von Greyerz from the 1/2014 issue of this bulletin (see the website), for Clara von Greyerz / Claire von Greyerz / Clara Forster, daughter of Georg Forster and Therese Huber. Sorry, I don't know author or page number.
I want the content of page 14 a small quote I can find is here "Punshiba mentioned in the aetiological legend of the uyarol lyric is the most famous human king of Luwang yek.." can you kindly send me that page and its related chapter - 🐲ꯂꯨꯋꯥꯪꯋꯥ ꯍꯥꯏꯐꯝ (talk) 00:48, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
According to [22], Louis Crews (who I am writing an article for) was included in the 1960 edition of "who's who in america" - I think this source would be helpful in writing the article. I just need the part that discusses him.
I've been scouring google scholar for this particular edition (the 7th) of the Rancho La Brea fauna list first published by Stock and later revised by Harris. The paper is cited among others by the tar pits website, but all I can find online is one of the older editions from the 1930s.
Armin Reindl, you need the entire work? Always a bit tricky, both in terms of copyright law/page policy (see the note at the top of this page: "We cannot perform full book copy requests due to copyright"), and also effort-wise. Any chance to narrow down the request? — Pajz (talk) 20:17, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Arguably the most important thing would be the section on bats (chiropterans) as I could not track down a single outside publication making note of them at La Brea (despite being recorded from there by the book it seems). Ducks, songbirds, falcons, herons and plants would also be useful. Armin Reindl (talk) 21:38, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hm, there's a museum library around the corner that is supposed to have this but I just saw that it is currently closed for construction. I've emailed them to ask if there's a way to access the volume anyway. — Pajz (talk) 23:50, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Armin Reindl, I'm told no but they'll reopen "soon", "likely" in the coming weeks, and will let me know. I'll check then whether this request is still open at that point. Hopefully someone else has a faster way to access the volume. — Pajz (talk) 20:43, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
