EpicPupper, I see, I've had similar experiences with ILL in Covid times. Since the volume is available here locally, I've ordered it and will have a look tomorrow when I'm at that library (provided it arrives in time). — Pajz (talk) 12:38, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Looking for help in sorting out the above as a possible source for Tuesdee Testa. There's some discussion about this at Talk:Tuesdee Testa#Possible sources and apparently a NYC public library card is needed to see the source if you're non-subscriber. Perhaps someone at WP:RX is a subscriber or has such a library card, and wouldn't mind helping out here. If anyone can view this source and thinks it has some value as an RS, then please either use it to expand the article yourself or post a brief summary on the article's talk page for someone else to do. In particular, anything about Testa's early life (DOB, parents, etc.) that might be encyclopedically relevant would be terrific. Even if the source's access is restricted, it still can be used per WP:PAYWALL as long as it's reliable and used per WP:RSCONTEXT.
Marchjuly, sent (scan). You should probably specify the date of the issue in the citation (which, in the New Yorker's case, is not identical to the publication date) so readers know where to look. — Pajz (talk) 18:20, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for doing all of that Pajz. I'll look for the scan. How do you think the citation's |url-access= parameter should be marked if it turns out that the source is something that can be used? |url-access=registration? |url-access=subscription? -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:19, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Bruce1ee:. I was going to use the url mentioned above and then leave it up to those who want to see more to decide if they want to subscribe. Would that be incorrect? FWIW, I wasn’t going to cite the scan itself per se. — Marchjuly (talk) 23:15, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Marchjuly: Sorry, I didn't see the url in your request. What you suggest is correct: use that url in the citation with url-access=subscription (it's paywalled). —Bruce1eetalk23:26, 21 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings, has someone access to "IGARZÁBAL, A., 1991. Morfología de las provincias deSalta y Jujuy. Revista del Instituto de Geología yMinería, Universidad Nacional de Jujuy, 8:97-122.Jujuy."? Worldcat has it listed in some Anglosphere libraries

Google Books' snippet view ([3]) of the index tells me that pp. 3, 8, 26, 32–33, 113–114, and 265 mention the Modern Language Association and pp. 3, 266 mention the Association for Language Learning. If someone could go to those pages, see which endnotes are being used to cite statements about the Modern Language Association or the Association for Language Learning, and then let me know which references are in those endnotes, I'd be very much appreciative. For instance, I can tell that endnote (10) for p. 3 and endnote (186) for p. 266 both look promising but I don't know what those are.
This would be for an article on the Modern Language Association of Great Britain and Ireland -- I'm still in the gathering-sources/confirming notability stages (User:Umimmak/sandbox/MLA).
P.S. I suspect that this book itself doesn't have too much to say about the Modern Language Association, hence just asking for its references, but if you happen to notice that any of these pages actually do go into any detail, I'd be grateful for letting me know which pages I should focus on for an ILL or even better if you could screenshot/download/scan those specific pages as well.

For Puya Meithaba. These pages contain information about extant manuscripts of "Cheitharol Kumbaba". This is a rough page range. Might be a couple of pages more or less.
TrangaBellam, I'm really sorry about the delay here. We have this volume in a tiny department library (a "Chair library" in German, to be precise, but I'm not sure if that is universally understood...) which doesn't even have fixed opening hours, and while geographically nearby, I'm stuck at work during pretty much every available time slot they have offered me. I generally do not use ILL for requests on this page, but I've now in addition ordered the book from a partner library a couple of days ago to make sure that I have at least access to that copy ... I'll get back to you. Thought this would be a little easier. — Pajz (talk) 18:22, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, forgot to Ping @Salimfadhley:! Thanks DanCherek! I've sent the PDF, unfortunately I only have access via PressReader as a personal copy, so can't copy the text. ~ Ablaze(talk)11:55, 11 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'm trying to see if there's any truth to the claim that Adaheli is used in the song "Orinoco Flow". It's not in any official or unofficial lyrics, and it might simply be OR. Google, Gbooks, Gscholar yielded nothing, and since the song was really named for "Orinoco Studio" in England rather than the river specifically, it makes the claim more dubious.
@Estheim: That Wall Street Journal article makes no mention of "Orinoco Flow". I'll do a bit more searching to see if I can find anything. —Bruce1eetalk12:43, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks @Bruce1ee:, If you happen upon any sources about "Adaheli" the diety, I'd love that too; Gscholar came up blank. Cheers, Estheim (talk) 13:12, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Estheim: I haven't found anything linking Adaheli to "Orinoco Flow". But of course that doesn't mean it's not used in the song – I just didn't find anything. If you're looking for sources about Adaheli, the Internet Archive has several myth and legend encyclopedia here that mention Adaheli. —Bruce1eetalk14:13, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Bruce1ee:, I'll take a look at those, appreciate it. I'm a bit disappointed I couldn't unravel the lyrical anomaly, mainly because that means I have been singing along with this song incorrectly for over 20 years. (I only hear "deh-ha, deh-ha"- I think this is going to haunt me foreverrr) For now I'll just add an unsourced tag. Cheers Estheim (talk) 15:28, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Compassionate727, it's not controversial. Sources generally point out that Orinoco was the name of the song's recording studio as well as the actual river. Using "environs" might not be accurate though, unless all of South America is considered. (I have to fix one of my edits now: I thought I was looking at an official page, but it was a fan-page.)

Greetings! I would like to have recent reliable linguistic data for Amhara people & Amharic articles, this site seems reliable. but http://www.ethnologue.com/24/language/amh/ but access is not free. Does anyone has access to the data? Or any other reliable suggestion, especially on 2nd language users?
@Dawit S Gondaria: The figures added by Landroving Linguist in 2 May 2021 in Amharic are reliable, up to date and correspond to the data in source (I have institutional access to Ethnologue). The exact unrounded figures are:

I need to check the index to see if there is any mention of a "Welsh Cemeteries Act 1908" or similar, and if so for any information about the Act, eg Chapter number
For Women's nationality.
So here's the issue, I find the article on researchgate, but it is stamped "for Peer Review Only" which makes me question if it is the final version which was published. As far as I can tell is only available through T&F, which I cannot access.
For Bitcoin Law; the source is used in the article, but I cannot read more than a bit of the first paragraphs and only then for a few seconds before the paywall dialogue box covers everything. Because the Los Angeles Times often does deeper journalism, I expect the source to have more complete info to improve the article.
@N2e: Sometimes you can bypass a paywall block by pressing the Esc key several times as the page loads. It worked for me in this case. This article is also available at ProQuest here in The Wikipedia Library Bundle. You should have access to it. BTW the date of the article in ProQuest is June 24, 2021. —Bruce1eetalk15:11, 24 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, Bruce1ee, I was. I used the very useful Proquest link you built/authenticated for me. Was super helpful.
I hope to find some time to increase my own ability as an editor to do such research in the future, but am super short of time to wiki-edit at present, so that will have to wait. N2e (talk) 10:10, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hello i would like to see the contributions of Tezera Tazebew, pages 297-313 in African Affairs(Oxford) Chapter Amhara Nationalism: The empire strikes back, to improve & verify Amhara people article.
Sorry! Not resolved after all! I went and signed up and borrowed it for an hour and their preview only has four pages, the content pages and page 630. Is there another location? I looked for Taylor and Francis at My library and couldn't find it there either.Jenhawk777 (talk) 19:04, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Jenhawk777: When I "borrow" the book, I can see the requested chapter, "Spinoza and the Kabbalah", starting on page 108. You're right that if you preview without borrowing, you can only see the first few pages and the last page. Did you create an Internet Archive account, sign in, and click the "Borrow" button? DanCherek (talk) 19:07, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hey DanCherek! Yes I did - sorry to be so much trouble! I then borrowed the book, so how do I just borrow the chapter? I've never used that site before and their instructions are mostly absent. Jenhawk777 (talk) 20:59, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Jenhawk777: Are you able to get to page 108? When you borrow the book, there is a scrollbar along the bottom of the display that lets you jump to any point in the book, as well as "flip left" and "flip right" arrow buttons that let you turn one page at a time. If you borrow the book and use the scrollbar to go to page 108, you should see chapter 4, which is the one you requested. I don't believe there is a way to borrow just one chapter, instead of the whole book. Hope that helps. DanCherek (talk) 21:04, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
DanCherek Nope. I tried the scroll bar first thing, and yes I can scroll to 108, but not see it, as it jumps automatically to 630 no matter what page number you scroll to. Flip right and left produces the same result. You can flip in either direction and see those first few pages with the title and contents and then the last page, but that's it. Do you suppose it matters who you borrow from? Jenhawk777 (talk) 21:12, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Jenhawk777: I'm kind of stumped. If you're signed in, you should see your username in the top right corner, next to the "Upload" button. Then, you should see a blue button that says "Borrow for 1 hour" (or "Borrow for 14 days"). Were you able to see and click that? DanCherek (talk) 21:19, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
DanCherek and Gamaliel I apparently spoke too soon. That let me see page 108 and 109 and when I tried to flip the page it came up that I should borrow the whole book if I want to see other pages - which is where this started. I give up. 22:06, 28 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Jenhawk777 I occasionally have issues and find that if I delete my cookies for archive.org they resolve, but I have to sign back in. You might also try clicking on the borrow for one hour and then clicking on the blue box that appears asking if you want to borrow it for 14 days. I can see all the pages, but then again, I wiped my cookies for the site a few days ago. SusunW (talk) 15:12, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
SusunW I am definitely a techno-idiot! For example, my notifications show a message from Doc Taxon that is not showing up here - how is that even possible? He was trying to help too. All of you who volunteer here are just the best in every way, and I am truly grateful you provide this service to those of us who would otherwise stumble around in the dark - alone - lost - in the rain... :-) Thanx again. Jenhawk777 (talk) 19:13, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Prisencolin: We provide access to sources; we aren't going to do your research for you, not that we would know where to look anyway. I suggest you ask at a relevant WikiProject page for ideas. —Compassionate727(T·C)14:57, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
To be fair, Compassionate727, the top of the page does say that "A request may be an open question or you may ask for a specific journal, article or work", which some people have previouslyinterpreted to apply to requests such as this one. On the other hand, WP:Reference desk/Humanities might be a better place to ask. When I did some Googling regarding this Family Guy episode, I came up with nothing. --Usernameunique (talk) 17:03, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Reliable sources for climate/temperature in Ethiopian cities for example the city of Gondar.
I'm looking for reliable climate data for Gondar city article and other Ethiopian cities. i already worked on the article, and saw a outdated German data that applied for the entire province of Gondar, instead of just the city. I replaced it with a source from Climate-data.org >> [1]. Hoewever i want to make sure that it was reliable source i posted it here. >>>> [2] The site turns out to be a collection of data from EMCWF, i searched to no avail, wondering if they even have african/ethiopian climate data.
So my question is whether someone can get or has acces to https://www.ecmwf.int/ climate data, or another reliable source for Ethiopian (cities) climate data? If this is too broad, i narrow it to daily mean temperatures each month, and yearly average in celsius, average rainfall, and Köppen-Geiger climate classification system.
I searched on Google and found that there should be an article about John Raap on this page: https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/34183832/ but I do not have access, is anyone able to obtain a clipping for me?

Hello, i would like to see the content of two Chapters of the book. Chapter 11: The Zagwe Dynasty and Chapter 12: The Reign of Lalibela and the fall of the Zagwe Dynasty. It's to improve and verify for Amhara people & Zagwe Dynasty related articles. The two chapters together i believe are 48 pages(pages 239-287). If it's too much pages, any one of the chapters will do.
