Encounters with Paradise: Views of Hawaii and Its People, 1778–1941[edit]
((resolved))
Need access to these chapters and the index (don't know when it ends so I just estimate 7 pages after 283) if possible.

Thanks. I eagerly await this request since it will be really helpful in my research.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 06:45, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@KAVEBEAR: I now have these; I'll send them after we figure out if you're receiving my emails or they're getting lost in transmission. You should have received one from me earlier today with the attachments that never made it last time. ~ Rob13Talk 17:22, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I am trying to locate James I. Robertson, Jr.'s review of Thomas Lowry's 1994 book on the U.S. Civil War, The Story The Soldiers Wouldn't Tell. This was apparently published in the New York Times some time in 1994 or 1995. Unfortunately a search of the NYT web site turns up nothing. (Perhaps not all NYT book reviews are currently available online?) Muzilon (talk) 05:35, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Worldbruce: Have you fully located this? I was about to request the New York Times Index for 1994 to try to pin down a date for this, but I'll cancel the request if this has been completed. ~ Rob13Talk 06:15, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
KAVEBEAR, the only source I've found is something called LLMC, which seems to require an institutional subscription. Maybe someone else here has access. BlackcurrantTea (talk) 09:44, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Notwithstanding LLMC's title, 1901 Feb, May 1st Terr Leg Reg & Spec, their scanned document is only the extra session that started on May 8. Although scanned from a University of Hawaii original instead of a University of California original, it's otherwise the same as the Google copy above. Worldcat lists five US law libraries that have the senate journal on microfiche; you'll probably have to hit up one of them. --Worldbruce (talk) 00:25, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Attempting, but a bit of a long-shot. Let's see if my university interfaces with Duke. ~ Rob13Talk 02:49, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@KAVEBEAR: This appears to be successful. Should have it in a few days. ~ Rob13Talk 01:46, 13 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@KAVEBEAR: This has arrived, but it's extraordinarily fragile and I'm unable to scan it without damaging the text. I'll email you a table of contents. Could you give me an idea of what you're looking for and what parts you need access to? I'll see what I can do to get you copies of the parts you need, either through typing them up myself or possibly taking pictures with a camera. ~ Rob13Talk 01:52, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@BU Rob13: Can you possibly send me photograph snapshots of the entire text? I remember it is rather short and base in the contents it's only 30ish pages. Depending on the clarity of the image you can even capture two pages in one photo. That should be the easiest. Please don't take the time to type it up.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 02:21, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@KAVEBEAR: I'll try. It's on parchment paper, so I'm not sure how well it will photograph. They're not printed on the backs of pages, so it would be one at a time. ~ Rob13Talk 02:28, 19 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The New York Times for 31 December 1922 (page 64)[edit]
"Two Japanese Experiments in Stone and Brains" on page 64 of The New York Times for 31 December 1922. This should be available on the NYT website, but I can't for the life of me find it.

Problem is, I can't find the publisher Baywood Publishing, and this journal has also stopped publishing as of 2014. I've found that Taylor & Francis have taken some of the publisher's journals, and Sage UK continued the publishing, but I can't find the journal on either site. I do not have either the author or title. If someone could track down a copy of the article, that would be great. Thank you. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 20:56, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@MrLinkinPark333: Are you certain you'll just need that one page, or will you need surrounding pages as well? ~ Rob13Talk 21:37, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@BU Rob13: I don't know the page range either, or if it's just on one page since the article only mentions page 64. I only need to confirm what the reference is citing, but the page range would help as well to complete the cite. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 21:40, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@MrLinkinPark333: See [4]. Turns out it was print only until it folded. We'll need someone with access to a physical copy. Difficult to do ILL with an incomplete page range. ~ Rob13Talk 21:43, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@BU Rob13: Your link has provided more detail for me. I've discovered that the journal is indexed on Gale, but not my specific page. Checking on EBSCO gives me the full citation!

@MrLinkinPark333: I'm glad it worked out! Am I correct that this is resolved now, or would you like a copy of the full source to verify and possibly expand the article? ~ Rob13Talk 22:03, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@BU Rob13: I'd only would like to check page 64 to see if it's referenced or not, since EBSCO/Gale doesn't have a full version of it. I'll update the citation for now. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 22:05, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

US Concert review articles for Amarte Es un Placer Tour[edit]
((resolved))
This is a follow-up to my Amarte Es un Placer articles request. The article about the album by Luis Miguel is nearly complete, but I'm having trouble finding articles about his performances on the US concerts online (despite being a very well-known Latin artist). I've only managed to find a few on HighBeam articles, but I need some for his major performances in the US. Here are my requests:
"Luis Miguel, Anthony U.S.-bound - San Antonio Express-News" (January 16, 2000)
"Luis Miguel captivates REVIEW: The singer delivers an entertaining mix of good music and spectacle." - The Orange County Register (February 6, 2000)
"Miguel's popularity on the rise in U.S." - The Denver Post (February 9, 2000)
"LADIES LOVE LUIS AT RADIO CITY" - New York Post (NY) (February 18, 2000)
"LA VOZ Y EL ESTILO DE LUIS MIGUEL COMPLACEN A SUS DEVOTOS ADMIRADORES" - El Nuevo Herald (March 28, 2000)
"Ballad king stirs up fan frenzy" - The Tampa Tribune (March 28, 2000)
"THE LAKELAND CENTER ROCKS; THE INSIDER" - Ledger, The (Lakeland, FL) (September 21, 2000)
"IT'S NO JOKE, THERE'S A TON OF HEADLINERS THIS WEEK" - Press of Atlantic City, The (NJ) (March 31, 2000)
"Luis Miguel branches out for avid fans" - Houston Chronicle (April 12, 2000)
"UNLUCKY IN lOVE Fan might have caught Luis Miguel on bad night" - The Dallas Morning News (April 20, 2000)
"Luis Miguel is in enviable spot Adoring fans sing to dashing Mexican balladeer" - Fort Worth Star-Telegram (TX) (April 20, 2000)
"Coors Amphitheatre negotiating for Morales-Espadas bout" - San Diego Union-Tribune, The (CA) (May 24, 2000)
I acknowledge that El Nuevo Herald articles are to find, but it's the only reliable source that I can find that shows he performed in Miami. While I probably won't use every article on the promotion section on the article, I intend to work on Amarte Es Un Placer Tour as well as part of my goal to make Amarte Es un Placer a good topic. There's a chance I might request more articles in the future when I get to the article about the Amarte Es un Placer tour, but for now my main focus is on the section about the tour for the album. I'd appreciate the help as always Erick (talk) 23:01, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Magiciandude: Sending a bunch (struck those above). I'm not convinced the Ledger source exists on that date. I have access to the Ledger, but nothing showed up when I searched. Someone else is welcome to try. I used the database LexisNexis Academic to access it, so anyone with access through an alternative database would probably be most likely to turn up something I did not. ~ Rob13Talk 01:30, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@BU Rob13: I can confirm that I have received the e-mail containing the articles that you sent. EDIT: I'm striking the request for Newsday because I already have the article from the Press of Atlantic City that confirmed his presence in the city. As for the Ledger date, that's what came up on the Newsbank Newslibrary search. Erick (talk) 16:04, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sent the Ledger article. It was indeed in Newsbank. ~ Rob13Talk 01:49, 10 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Turns out El Nuevo Herald is in Newsbank as well, so sent that. Please mark this resolved once you receive those, unless you need anything else, Magiciandude. ~ Rob13Talk 01:52, 10 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
These should do for now for the promotion section. If there's anything that I'm having trouble finding when I get to the article about tour, I will let you know on the next request. Thank you for your help BU Rob13. Erick (talk) 14:02, 10 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Need access to on-line style guide or guides[edit]

I am an assistant coordinator with the Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors. I have made over 21,000 edits (almost 22,000).

It has been a bit tough to find information on this classified program. I do not have any specific sources I am looking for, just hoping to find literally anything. Project SAINT is the name, an acronym for Satellite Interceptor. Let me know if any additional information can be provided that would help. Thanks! Kees08 (talk) 02:21, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Kees08: I'm sending you an email with a smattering of sources. I'm also currently seeking to obtain the following two sources for you:

I am writing about a chess problemist Konrad Bayer (1828–1897) and it would be great to have his picture. There was one published in the book Ignaz Kolisch: The Life and Chess Career, page 9 (print ISBN: 978-0-7864-9690-7, ebook ISBN: 978-1-4766-1801-2), but the sign which is a part of the picture (just next to his right hand) and which is probably the name of the picture's author, is illegible, and so it cannot be decided, whether the picture is free to use. Can anyone find a copy of the book where the name of the picture's author would be legible? Thanks. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 02:13, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Jan.Kamenicek: The legend underneath the picture says its from Schachzeitung 1865, page 288, (volume 20) which can be found here. It's not legible either, but perhaps another copy of the original image could be more helpful. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 03:17, 24 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@MrLinkinPark333: Thanks very much! It seems that the author's autograph is given not only in the picture but also beneath it in the 1865 Schachzeitung publication that you have linked here, where it is clearly visible, but the handwriting is illegible :-( --Jan Kameníček (talk) 13:52, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Jan.Kamenicek: Why exactly do you need to know who the author is? Everything published on or before 1865 would be public domain in the United States. That's not sufficient for upload to Commons, but it is for upload to the English Wikipedia. Just upload and mark with ((PD-1923)) and ((Do not move to Commons)). ~ Rob13Talk 02:45, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I asked here because I hoped somebody could help me here, although I need it for Czech Wikipedia, which uses only pictures from Commons. But thanks for the advice, if the picture is not accepted on Commons, I will upload it to English Wikipedia, since I am plannig to translate the Czech article into English as well. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 13:06, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Jan.Kamenicek: I physically accessed that latest book, but not legible in person either. Sadly, don't think we'll be able to help unless someone finds the same picture in another publication. ~ Rob13Talk 21:36, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Marking resolved, as this has sat here for several months and it's very unlikely a legible copy would be easily found. It's not in the physical source cited here. ~ Rob13Talk 21:56, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Images of Mrs. Moffat's Shoo-Fly Powders for Drunkenness, an early-20th century patent medicine[edit]
Requesting someone attempt to find an advertisement and/or packaging photo, if there is one, in one or more of the large newspaper resources, for the old patent medicine named "Mrs. Moffat's Shoo-Fly Powders for Drunkenness".
Possible hits at newspapers.com, but I don't have access there. --joe deckertalk 01:52, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Joe decker, I didn't see anything at Newspapers.com or NewspaperArchive, but if you have more information concerning the possible Newspapers.com hits, I'll check them out. John M Baker (talk) 16:51, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Nah, what I saw was more or less search hits which may have been non-image, etc. I would be curious (even though this is a bit outside the original request) to see anything from "The Akron Beacon Journal / Tuesday, February 7, 1939 - Page 19", the snippet of it which is the only search result from [8] for me might or might not be related to legal action and might have some color, but I'm sure it's not an image. Thanks for your assistance in any case! --joe deckertalk 18:33, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Joe decker, I don't have access to that particular newspaper, but it appears to be from a Walter Winchell on Broadway column that ran that day in multiple newspapers. The relevant passage reads in full: "The real name of a Mickey Finn (in drug-stores) is "Mrs. Moffet's [sic] Shoo-Fly Powders.""
Of possibly greater interest, the L.A. Times had a story on Feb. 15, 1940, about a drugstore owner and clerk who were convicted of selling poisons without proper labels because they sold "Mrs. Moffatt's [sic] Shoo-fly Powders." If you'll email me, I'll reply with a PDF. John M Baker (talk) 18:53, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Joe decker, the PDF of the LA Times article has been sent.
The powders apparently were sold to drugstores, so probably would not have been advertised to the general public. As the Walter Winchell item shows, very few people had heard of the product. In addition, note that the powders apparently were a Mickey Finn (as indicated by both the Walter Winchell item and the LA Times article) rather than a patent medicine. I don't know if there were trade publications for drugstores in the 1880 - 1940 period, but that would probably be your best bet for finding any advertisements that may exist. John M Baker (talk) 20:48, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Got it, thank you! Indeed, I'll keep looking as you suggest, it's too fun a subject to not keep pushing at. :) --joe deckertalk 21:38, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Joe decker, I've also sent you a copy of the Winchell column, since it shows that the name of the product was little known and is further evidence that it was a Mickey Finn, not a patent medicine. Apparently the name (Mrs. Moffat's Shoo-Fly Powders for Drunkenness) was intended to convey that it was an effective way to get rid of drunks. Newspapers.com has some other references to "shoo-fly powders" that contained tartar emetic, probably a reference to this product, although they do not mention Mrs. Moffat. No wonder the seller was able to allege an absence of complaints, since the person who dispensed the Mickey Finn didn't care and the unfortunate recipient would not know the source.

@KAVEBEAR: I have the book. You are asking for a significant percentage of it. To ensure that no more is copied than is absolutely necessary, please confirm the following:
You need page 28 (which is in the middle of the subsection on the Society Islands) through the end of the section on Polynesia on page 48, which will cover the Tuamotu Islands; Marquesas Islands; Mangareva; Easter Island, Samoa; Tonga; Cook Islands; Futuna, Pukapuka, and Tongareva; New Zealand; and the section summary. (Seven of the pages from 28 through 46 contain images. I'll do my best with them, but be warned that the quality is not great in the original.)
You need page 49, which is the first page of the section on Micronesia.
You need pages 76 through 91 (which covers the conclusion, the one-page appendix on uses of dogs' teeth, and the references cited).
To put it another way, you do not need any of the material about Hawaii, the first half of the subsection about the Society Islands, any part of the section on Micronesia except its first page, any part of the section on Melanesia, or any part of the section on Australia.
@Worldbruce: Yes this is true. I have pages 1-27 saved and scanned back when I was in college, so I left those out to save people the trouble. Does page 49 contain any information from the previous section? I remember some of the sections share pages. If yes, I need it. If not and only contains info about Micronesia, I do not need it. And yes to the conclusion, appendix, references. Is there an index at the end as well. Thanks.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 07:59, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi I am working in swwiki and have done most of the astronomic entries there (category astronomy on swwiki). It looks to me that there was only one researcher who collected traditional terminology and I can not get thru to the publications. The relevance is in the fact that the existing dictionaries have taken up little of the astronomical knowledge in the culture (less than 10 astronomical names of more than 100 identified by Knappert) and some of it with mistakes (like messing up planet names).
Can anybody help me?
