Sources about the middle name of Michael Wagner (TV script writer and producer)[edit]
Phillips, Mark; Garcia, Frank (1996). Science fiction television series : episode guides, histories, and casts and credits for 62 prime time shows, 1959 through 1989. Jefferson, N.C.: McFarland. p. 271. ISBN9780786428359.
Anything else about Michael Wagner, a TV script writer and producer active between 1975 and 1992
Michael Wagner was a US TV script writer and producer, but what is his middle initial? We have an article at Michael I. Wagner, created at that location in 2009, but online sourcing is sketchy and possibly citogenetic, for such a pre-internet personality.
The requested book (and the "page 271" indication) is taken from Probe (1988 TV series). GBooks does not have a preview. I just need a quote of the sentence that mentions Michael Wagner, no need to scan the whole page (and maybe it’s not even on that page, but it should be around there).
Alternatively, if you can find anything else reliable that includes the initial (or mildly-reliable but published before 2009), that is good enough for me.
I received Doc Taxon’s email (thanks!). Unfortunately the book chapter is useless (the name given there is "Michael Wagner" with no middle initial or name).
I appreciate the extra mile of searching through genealogy websites (ancestry.com I suppose?) that at least yielded that the middle name is likely "Bill". Your theory that the "I" is actually "Michael Wagner, first of the name" is fairly plausible.
I will still leave the request open, because that’s not enough. Ancestry sites also contain lots of junk (such as this entry for "Michael I Wagner", edited in 2012 hence likely lifted off Wikipedia). TigraanClick here for my talk page ("private" contact) 13:16, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Tricky one, Tigraan. The best I can find is an entry in the 1989 edition of Who's Who in Entertainment, which (judging from the Google Books snippet view) appears to begin "WAGNER, MICHAEL BILL, television producer, writer; b. Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, Sept. 30, 1947..." That seems to line up with what the article says, so I'd guess that "Bill" is probably right. (Who's Who is usually unreliable since it's "comparable to a self-published source", but for present purposes it's probably fine under WP:ABOUTSELF.) It looks like he's usually just referred to as Michael Wagner, so perhaps moving the page to Michael Wagner (writer) or some such title would be best. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 22:46, 28 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Extraordinary Writ. I cannot access the preview myself but I will put down the source with your quote.

I need page 90 of the Who's who in East Africa 1967 ed. for the article I'm writing on Samson Mwita Marwo/Marwa, a Kenyan MP at that time. GBooks offers a preview, but it is cut-off, and it does not appear to be online other than that. This is pretty much the only source besides election results that documents Marwo, so it is critical for the article.
"MARWO, Samson Mwita; born 1932 in Bukuria ; educated Itibo Intermediate School; Kisii TTC; Teacher at various schools 1957-63; Trader; Member Nyanza Regional Assembly for Kuria; Director Kuria Transport and Traders Union; Member Regional Commerce and Industry Committee and Local Government and Administrative Committee; Address P.O.

Pre-Columbian Central America, Colombia, and Ecuador : toward an integrated approach. Dumbarton Oaks. pp. 275–303.
Hi, I'm working on Muisca raft and found a treasure trove of images in the publication above, which I know are from the Gold Museum, Bogotá.
I have the publication already - I am inquiring whether there is a way to use those images in the article. This publication is by far the most comprehensive on the subject, and the only one that contains these images I'm after.
I was sent here from Wikipedia:Teahouse#Connecting with GLAM, where an editor suggested inquiring here. I asked a version of this question here but since those links didn't seem to be quite what I was looking for, the Teahouse editor suggested I could also try RX.
Is using these images possible?

Hello! I'm working on the article Atari 8-bit family. Who knows where to find online archives of Business Week magazine? From Business Week of May 21, 1984, there is allegedly this quotation: "Atari expect the new Lucasfilm software to stimulate sales of future games machines while tapping an existing market of 4 million owners of Atari's home computer and 5200 games machines". That's all the information I have. I have searched ProQuest and EBSCO on WP:LIBRARY but maybe I did it wrong. Thank you so much. — Smuckola(talk) 03:50, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Extraordinary Writ: Done. Thanks! And if anyone can let me know if there's an online source for Business Week, that'd be great! — Smuckola(talk) 08:52, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Smuckola:Sent. The Internet Archive has coverage through 1961, but I'm not aware of an easy way to access anything after that, unfortunately: as far as I can tell, it's only available through this special EBSCO database, which the Wikipedia Library doesn't subscribe to. If you need any more BusinessWeek articles, feel free to leave a message here and one of us with access to the EBSCO database would be happy to send it to you. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 16:32, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Extraordinary Writ: Thanks. I googled and I can't find how to fill in the citation, like volume or issue, and I'm not sure whether ISSN is necessary because I rarely see it. This is a good magazine article to spread around citations into several Wikipedia articles.

Looks good, Smuckola. The database tells me that this is issue no. 2843; there doesn't appear to be a volume number, so you can just leave that parameter blank. Including the ISSN (0007-7135) probably isn't a bad idea, although it's not required. You can also add via=[[EBSCOhost]] if you want to make clear where the article came from. Cheers, Extraordinary Writ (talk) 03:13, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Extraordinary Writ: You are truly a Writ among writs. Out of the ordinary, and possibly even mildly outrageous. Please let me know if I can assist you with anything. The source has been cited, long live Jambi. I sure wish WP:LIBRARY's GUI wasn't only a blatant giant zoo, though I know it is by benevolent necessity. I wish it at least had a single search box, even if I had to wait 30 minutes for results lol. I basically stick to trade magazines and newspapers, so I often must do countless redundant searches. The bare minimum is EBSCO, ProQuest, newspapers.com, Google Books, and sometimes Newspaper Archive. It's so overwhelming and I don't know how to determine the names of individual publications I can and can't search! I don't know what's included, to even answer the question of whether or not I've even searched BusinessWeek among all that lol. There are a ton of stupid meta-search checkboxes ahead of EBSCO and ProQuest alone and I can't imagine how it would be possible to ever understand what I'm even looking at or opting into before I've even input a keyword. Then it gives me a beautiful search result and soon times out and barfs it all on the floor so I can start it all over again. Am I baying into the wind along with other very smart very normal users or am I just a loser, baby? — Smuckola(talk) 07:38, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Smuckola, the WP:LIBRARY folks actually have been working on one search engine to rule them all—there's now a search bar at the top of https://wikipedialibrary.wmflabs.org/users/my_library/ that searches EBSCO, Gale, JSTOR, and a whole bunch of other databases. Unfortunately it doesn't yet include ProQuest, Newspapers.com, or Newspaper Archive, but at least it's better than nothing. I can certainly sympathize about how difficult it can be to find where (if anywhere) a publication is available. One trick on ProQuest is to click the "publications" tab, which lets you search by the name of the publication (for instance, searching "Los Angeles Times" shows you how to access the paper, while searching "BusinessWeek" brings up...nothing). I think EBSCO has a similar feature, although I'm not too familiar with it. And, of course, if there's anything you can't find, you're always welcome to pay us a visit here and someone will probably be able to put you on the right track.

@Mdaniels5757, thank you so much for tracking this down. I can see that the article is just what I hoped for. However, the PDF that I received by email was just the first five pages of a longer article... it is pages 35-39 and does not include the end of the article; it had appeared to me that pages 35-59 would be required.

Thank you so much, Mdaniels5757, this helps me get through an otherwise-seemingly-impossible situation of inadequate sourcing, to develop coverage about this oil discovery site, which was just one year after the first major oil well drilled in the U.S., the Drake oil well in Pennsylvania. This one site provided meager yield, but it was a first, and soon after the Florence oil field a few miles to the south was found. It predated discovery of oil in California and anywhere else west of the Mississippi. Again, thanks! --Doncram (talk) 18:59, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

How confident are you about this citation, I might just get the 1977 page since I personally trust HathiTrust moreso than Google books but wanted to run that by you first. [Edit: zooming in on the image of the title page in your google books link, that definitely looks like the year is 1977, not 1979]. Just want your confirmation before I put in the request.
Also while here, for your AfD might also want to look up p. 142 of "Juin 1977 : étude des élections legislatives au Maroc par Mustapha Sehimi" -- HathiTrust also says his name appears twice on that page -- which I can also get for you if you wish?
[Edit: Working actually decided to put in requests for both, clearly seems to be the 1977 volume published in 1979. Should have within a week.] Umimmak (talk) 18:14, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your effort! It is very appreciated Curbon7 (talk) 19:48, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Curbon7: okay was unable to get this Mustapha Sehimi book, but look into it. Did get your original request tho. Can provide PDF if you want to Wikimail me, but the relevant section reads Documents Maroc [...] §2. — Elections législatives (a) Elus des provinces et préfectures: [...] Province de Settat: [...] Benlabsir Bouchaib (Ind) (Settat).Umimmak (talk) 22:28, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Aza24, you should be able to access this one via this link (ProQuest in the Wikipedia Library)—let me know if that doesn't work. Cheers, Extraordinary Writ (talk) 22:18, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
