I'm hoping to get copies of two pages in this Kongzi Jiayu translation for a new article on qīqì (欹器, "tilting vessels"). Google Books shows the translated Confucian "slanting vessel" anecdote on page 241 and the relevant endnotes on page 341, but not the notes on pages 340 and 342. Does anyone have access?

I'm literally getting a permenent 502 error. Can someone right-click this and tell what page number it's on? (or put he secretly force-marched in the search box.) Cheers! ——Serial#13:37, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Serial Number 54129: I was getting 502 errors earlier when trying to access another book. That link you provided worked for me and I can see the page, but there are no page numbers. Looking at the url the page number could be 378, but I can't be sure. —Bruce1eetalk13:45, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Serial Number 54129, I don't see a page number (it just says "Page »" where the page number would usually follow) and I'm not surprised not to see one since this is an e-reader version, as best as I can tell. Not sure what the point of a page number would be in that case. — Pajz (talk) 13:47, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
For 1966 Syrian coup d'état. I have a suspicion that the ref given as "Seale, 1984, p. 89" is actually this one but I don't have access to the archive.org page to verify so if one of you could check whether the cited fact is mentioned there that would be nice (if it is, pray update it here too).
@RandomCanadian: No statue mentioned on p. 89. The only statue mentioned was the plan to oust Hatum and build a statue for him on p. 110. BTW, I'm curious how come you don't have access to Internet Archive? It's free to register (you can use a throwaway account if you're concerned about which email to use for registration). A book written by Seale around 1984 was The Shaping of an Arab Statesman: Sharif Abd Al-Hamid Sharaf and the Modern Arab World. I thought this might be what you're looking for, but the statue was for Arsuzi, not Sharaf. Also, no results for statue in GBooks. I checked Zaki al-Arsuzi's wikipedia page and it also mentions the statue. Instead of Seale, 1984 p. 89, I think it's: Helms, Christine Moss (1984). Iraq: Eastern Flank of the Arab World. Brookings Institution Press. ISBN 978-0815735557. EDIT: Yep! I'm going to tweak it. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 03:05, 12 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@SlimVirgin: If you want the whole article, email me and I'll attach by return. But if for some reason you don't want to do that :) this is the text (unadulterated, scouts' honour) that you're after:
Editors of Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia whose entries are of notoriously variable reliability, have chosen to cease recognising the Daily Mail as a secondary source for information, and Jeremy Corbyn has condemned as “fake news” a clutch of reports suggesting that he is close to stepping down as Labour leader. [paragraph break]
Newspapers make errors and have the responsibility to correct them. Wikipedia editors’ fastidiousness, however, appears to reflect less a concern for accuracy than dislike of the Daily Mail’s opinions. And Mr Corbyn is in a state of undignified denial that his leadership is a liability for his party and that his colleagues are appalled by his ineptitude.

@Jo-Jo Eumerus: The encyclopedia entry is very short. Here's what it says
The pluvialepisode in the latest pleistoceneand early holocene(between about 14,500 and 5,500 calendar years BP) when the Sahara was much more vegetated than today with abundant savannasupporting a richer fauna, denser human populations and numerous perennial lakes. The African Humid Period is attributed to strengthening of the African monsoonin response to a gradual increase in summer season insolation. The onset and termination nevertheless appear to have been abrupt as a result of the crossing of a thresholdin summer insolation receipt of about 4.2 per cent greater than at present. It was punctuated by a relatively arid phase (corresponding to the younger dryas stadial). The term Holocene African Humid Periodshould be re-served for the humid phase following this arid phase and prior to the change to late-Holocene hyperaridity.

Hello. I'm looking for newspaper sources between 1982 and 1999 that talk about Dan Cloeter. He was a 2 time Chicago Marathon winner before he became a pastor, so the sources might reference his marathon career. Based on search results on Newspapers.com, I can verify he was in Racine, Wisconsin in 1987, Norfolk, Nebraska in 1988, Hutchinson, Minnesota in 1994, and Omaha, Nebraska in 1999. Of these cities, I don't have an indepth source for Hutchinson so that's the one I'm mostly interested in. However, any sources to fill in the gap between 1982 and 1999 would be great.
Thanks! MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 01:04, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@MrLinkinPark333: A ProQuest search for "Dan Cloeter" Hutchinson returned one hit: The Chicago Sun - Times, October 29, 1993. Unfortunately all I can see is the abstract, but this snippet "..The family moved from Norfolk to Caledonia, Wis., before settling in Hutchinson..." shows that there may be something in this for you. Here is the full abstract:
Dan Cloeter won the first Mayor Daley Marathon in 1977 in 2:17:52, a record that stood until 1980.
Cloeter's father was a minister, too, and took up running to lose weight when Dan was in his running heyday in the 1970s. Cloeter was a semi-successful college runner at Concordia Teachers College in Nebraska before blossoming as a marathoner.
Cloeter and wife Margi were parents only to daughter Amy, then six months old, when he won the 1977 Mayor Daley Marathon as an assistant pastor in Norfolk, Neb. Amy is now 16 and a cheerleader.
@Bruce1ee: That definitely looks useful as I didnt have a source that mentioned Caledonia either. If someone has the full text of that search result, I'd appreciate it :) --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 17:28, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Actually it looks like the chapter I want is 7 ("Tsar reformer", pp.192–243); tht's pretty massive, so if it's easier, the actual material I'm after is around pp. 210–220 if that's possible. Thanks in advance! ——Serial#16:34, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The above magazine would be used to improve the "Laundromat" (song) article. It contains an interview with the singer Nivea. Parts about the song seem to be on pages 18, 20, and 21 (from what I can tell from the very limited previewed from Google Books). Apologies for the weird request. I am uncertain if anyone could track down this rather old magazine issue, but I thought I might as well try. According to Google Books, this was originally uploaded by University of Wisconsin - Madison so I could try contacting a librarian there too. Either way, thank you in advance!

I have checked my Cambridge core access from Wikipedia but it seems the chapter above is not among the available ones for the Cambridge book.
@Rowanwindwhistler: Most of the page range from 26-52 is available from GBooks here (I don't have access to: 29-30, 36-37, 43-44, 50-51). As for 53-70, only the first three pages are there.

Thank you both for your advice, sometimes I do not really know how I can forget so easily about the basics... Sorry about that. Anyhow, it seems GBook keeps changing the visible pages. I have managed to check 34-38, 41-45, 48-52, 55-59 & 62 but then I cannot see the pages before and after those ranges. If you happen to still have access to some of the others, I would be grateful if you send them to me so that I can check them for relevant information for the articles too.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 18:57, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Rowanwindwhistler: Have you checked both GBooks links? (Canada/India). If so, let me know if you get access to any more pages. The Indian version gave me 29-30, which I didn't already have access to. So, if I understood you correctly, you're still looking for 26-33 39-40 46-47 from one chapter, and 53-54 60-61 63-70 from the other chapter? --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 20:58, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I have. It is actually there where I got the pages I could read. And they keep changing (i. e. some I could read before are no longer visible while others that were not available before can be seen now, for some reason). From my original page ranges for ISBN 0-521-54402-5 I still could not read pages number 26-27, 33, 39-40, 47, 54, 60-61, 63-65 and 67-70. Maybe I will at another time as they keep changing but if you happen to have them in hand, it would be great if you could send them over... If not, no problem, I will keep checking now and then. Thanks.--Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 21:27, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Rowanwindwhistler: I've reached my page limit for the Indian GBooks link. I can recheck it another time for the second range, but I can send you the leftover pages from the first range (26-52). They are: 26-27. 33, 39-40 and 47. If you're interested, please send me an email and I'll forward over these 6 pages. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 21:46, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I'm looking for 2008 newspapers to determine date of death/place of death for my draft on Leo Gurko. I have a December 14, 2010 source from The Ukiah Daily Journal that gives only years for him and his wife's death. His wife's year of death (1988) checks out with her entry in the Salem Press Biographical Encyclopedia. If this is the case, then I hope there is a 2008 newspaper source that mentions his death. As he moved from Poland and worked in New York for a lot of his career, there could be sources from New York newspapers. Unfortunately, i had no luck with Newspapers.com. Thanks! MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 22:50, 10 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
MrLinkinPark333, I don’t see any newspaper sources, but according to America’s GenealogyBank, Gurko was born January 4, 1914, and died in Manhattan on September 30, 2008. There are also articles from Something About the Author and Gale Literature: Contemporary Authors, if you are interested. John M Baker (talk) 03:40, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@John M Baker: I already have both encylopedias from Archive.org (haven't cited them yet). Neither had his death date of the versions I found. As for GenealogyBank, I haven't used that before, and I don't think I could use it for a source. But that can help narrow down the search though. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 03:44, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@MrLinkinPark333: The information from America’s GenealogyBank is directly from U.S. Social Security records, so I would think it would be acceptable, subject to the usual caveats on use of a primary source. It would be unacceptable for a biography of a living person, but of course Gurko is no longer living. John M Baker (talk) 18:07, 12 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@John M Baker: While I'm not sure if I could use it, could you send me the GenealogyBank entry with the URL? I don't have access to it. I might keep this open as well in case someone digs up a September/October 2008 article. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 22:58, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Update: I have received the GenealogyBank entry. I'm keeping this up a bit in case someone else has found newspaper sources cause I'm not 100% if I can use this source for a death date. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 22:45, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Hi all, I would like to ask for some help accessing two sources relating to animal anatomy. I'd like to improve my coverage and sourcing of animal anatomy in the anatomy sphere where I edit. I've found two textbooks that I think are suitable based on looking around at what books are recommended in university courses and this review paper [3]
Hildebrand, Milton; Goslow, George (2001). Analysis of vertebrate structure (5th ed.). Wiley. ISBN978-0-471-29505-1.
Unfortunately purchasing these two sources is prohibitively expensive (about $300 in my part of the world). Does anyone have access or a way to access these online, or suggestions where I may be able to go to get some help accessing these? I am not keen on borrowing from a library because I see myself using them over a number of years and that will not be very convenient. Thanks for your help or suggestions, --Tom (LT) (talk) 11:28, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Tom (LT): The 3rd edition (2002) of Kardong is available to borrow at the Internet Archive here (free registration is required). The 2nd edition (1982) of Hildebrand is also available to borrow at the Internet Archive here. I don't know if these earlier editions of the books will help you. —Bruce1eetalk11:43, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Tom, as far as I can see, neither of these works is among the resources currently accessible through WP:TWL. Since full book scans/copies cannot be provided through this page for legal reasons (see the notice at the top), I do not think that we can be of much help if what you need are the entire volumes. Of course, if you need scans of particular chapters from any of those books and you cannot access them yourself in your library, feel free to request them on this page. Depending on your country of residence, there might be a Wikimedia chapter that may be willing to purchase the books for you (see eg de:Wikipedia:Förderung/Zugang zu Fachliteratur for Austria/Germany/Switzerland; other chapters might not have a dedicated programme but may be willing to support volunteers through some type of microgrant, cf the presumably incomplete list at meta:Grants#To Wikimedia volunteers). — Pajz (talk) 13:06, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
