Finding a source

Tips for finding a source yourself

• Request the author(s) of research papers for a copy of their paper by email
• Check on Google Books, or your local library may be able to obtain it through an interlibrary loan
• Search Google Scholar for archived copies of journals in institutional repositories

Making a request

• A request may be an open question or you may ask for a specific journal, article or work
• All kinds of sources are possible here: newspapers, magazine article, databases, encyclopedias, court decisions, laws, books, etc.
• We cannot handle full book scans
• You may contact research helpers directly or make a request on this page
• To receive email without disclosing your email address publicly, configure your email in Special:Preferences
• Provide as much detail as possible: a full citation with author, title, publisher, and date or identifiers like DOI, ISBN ISSN, PMID, etc.
• If you are requesting multiple sources, #number them (1, 2, 3..)
• Once a request has been fulfilled add the {{Resolved}} template.
• Filled requests are archived.
• Requests unfilled after 3 months will be moved to the stale requests page

Fulfilling a request

• Anyone may offer advice and fulfill requests.

Diflumetorim fungicide

I'm looking for the following paper:

• K. Fujii and S. Takamura, “Pyricut® (diflumetorim, UBF-002EC)—a new fungicide for ornamental use,” Agrochemicals Japan, no. 72, pp. 14–16, 1998

Need help finding sources talking about a Malaysian expressway

I'm currently working on North–South Expressway Northern Route, but online secondary sources have been a pain to find. A web search turned up nothing reliable, while a Google Books and Google Scholar search resulted in only one minor publication by the World Bank, which I could only use for one sentence. Searches of local news websites resulted in only accidents and incidents that occurred, which aren't notable. I'm pretty much hanging on the hope that there is a paper source (or some online work that I haven't been able to find) going into detail about the expressway, especially its history. If there is, it would also help a lot with the general North–South Expressway (Malaysia) article as well as North–South Expressway Southern Route, if I do get to it eventually. – Pizza1016 (talk | contribs) 06:36, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Source to create an article on Black Creek (Susquehanna River)

I discovered this (a 1968 USGS open-file report by Thomas Gwyn Newport, Harry E. Koester, Marion Joseph Bergin; the title is "Geology, hydrology, and geochemistry of the Black Creek watershed near Mocanaqua, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania"), which seems like a very useful source for an article on Black Creek. The trouble is that the USGS doesn't have it online, Worldcat says that there are no libraries that have the report, and on amazon.com, it says that "We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock." Can anyone here get ahold of it? --Jakob (talk) 02:56, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Finding a quote of Gamal Abdel Nasser, the Egyptian president on 1967, in Heykal's book

Will it be possible to find a quote of Gamal Abdel Nasser, the Egyptian president on 1967, in Heykal's book: Sphinx and commissar: the rise and fall of Soviet influence in the Arab world ?

- The quote is found in the hebrew version of Gluska's The Israeli Military and the Origins of the 1967 War, p. 235. My translation is: "Nasser canceled at the last minute a planned Egyptian attack, and later accused the soviets: "you stopped us and have not allowed us to be the first to attack. You have not let us having the initiative. That was a collusion."

- Gluska cites Heykal's book: Sphinx and commissar: the rise and fall of Soviet influence in the Arab world, the Hebrew version, p. 181, 182.

American Cyanamid

Dear Wikipedians,

I'm looking for books about American Cyanamid, e.g. yearbooks or something like 50 Years of American Cyanamid. I've searched at Amazon, but haven't found, what I'm looking for. Because I'm not based in the US, it's difficult for me to find literature. --Kopiersperre (talk) 22:16, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

@Kopiersperre: American Cyanamid's reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission are publicly available, starting in 1994. Since American Cyanamid stopped being a reporting company in 1995, this is a fairly short window, but you can still find some useful reports at the SEC's EDGAR webpage for American Cyanamid. John M Baker (talk) 22:19, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

I would like to have a book with photos and so one. Don't you have more pleasing (not Form 10-K) annual reports in the US?--Kopiersperre (talk) 20:01, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

@Kopiersperre: In the U.S., the annual report to stockholders is a separate document from the formal annual report to the SEC on Form 10-K, although the stockholders' annual report may be included as an exhibit to the 10-K. The annual report to stockholders typically, but not always, is aesthetically more pleasing (although I tend to prefer the 10-K, which often has more solid information). These days EDGAR can accommodate annual reports with fancy graphs and colored pictures, and companies generally put them on their own web pages. In 1994, however, EDGAR was entirely text-based. I haven't checked, but I assume that either American Cyanamid did not have a web site or that site is long-gone. John M Baker (talk) 22:22, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Need Someone With an Ancestry.com Subscription to Provide Me With a Specific 1954 Death Certificate

Not done

Basically, I am trying to verify the case of a woman who died in 1954 and who claimed to be 112 years old at the time of her death for the Gerontology Research Group. Based on my research, this woman might have indeed been 112 years old (or extremely close to it) at the time of her death. That said, though, I am unsure about what exactly the names of this woman's parents were; thus, I am hoping to access this woman's death certificate in order to see if it states the names of this woman's parents; the names of this woman's parents can go a very long way in verifying this woman's claimed age.

I think that Ancestry.com has this woman's death certificate:

http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=cookcountydeaths&so=2&pcat=BMD_DEATH&rank=1&new=1&MSAV=1&msT=1&gss=angs-c&gsfn=nancy&gsln=merriman&cpxt=0&catBucket=rstp&uidh=000&cp=0&cj=1&sid=i66xemvno40004ma007uo&netid=cj&o_xid=0003753210&o_lid=0003753210&o_sch=Affiliate+External

I think that this specific death certificate is indeed for this woman:

View Record Nancy Merrimen dd mm 1954 location Purchase original record from Cook County

However, I myself do not have an Ancestry.com subscription; thus, I am wondering if someone here who does have an Ancestry.com subscription can get access to this woman's death certificate and, if this is legal, to give me a copy of this woman's death certificate. Again, I want this death certificate for gerontology research purposes, which, in my honest opinion, is certainly a very good cause. Futurist110 (talk) 21:15, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

• Hi Futurist110, the record you're looking for is merely indexed on Ancestry.com. The original death certificate is available for purchase from the Cook County Clerk’s Office for 17 USD.

Name: Nancy Merrimen | Death Date: 14 Jan 1954 | Death Location: Cook County, IL | File Number: 6001585 | Archive collection name: Cook County Genealogy Records (Deaths). [Index-only Record] - NQ (talk) 00:05, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

So in other words, there is no way at all to get this woman's death certificate for free, correct? Futurist110 (talk) 04:49, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

The U.S. Social Security Death Index might not help here considering that I know when exactly this woman died; rather, I simply want to know what exactly this woman's parents' names are due to the fact that this information might very well be crucial in verifying this woman's claimed age. Based on the research which I (and possibly one or more other people) have done on this case, this woman might have very well indeed been 112 years old at the time of her death, but I need to know the names of this woman's parents so that I can confirm that the 1850 and 1860 U.S. Census entries which I and/or other people have found are indeed for the Nancy Merriman/Merrimen who died in 1954.

Need Help Seeing a Specific 1860 U.S. Census Entry

Resolved

I just did some research on this man: http://records.ancestry.com/henry_mole_records.ashx?pid=121043325

--and it appears that he might have been the World's Oldest Man at the time of his death in 1962 (though he was probably 107, rather than 109, years old at the time of his death). That said, though, I need someone with a subscription to Ancestry.com and/or to another such website to please give me a copy of this actual 1860 U.S. Census entry itself:

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MCLL-BDJ

Basically, it states "Harris Mule" here but I am strongly tempted to think that this is a mis-transcription of "Henry Mole"; thus, can someone here please take a look at this actual 1860 U.S. Census entry itself, save it, and post a copy of it here so that I am personally able to see whether or not I am correct that the 1860 U.S. Census entry actually states "Henry Mole"?

Thank you very much. Futurist110 (talk) 01:17, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

I don't have ancestry.com membership to be able to help, but I do suggest that you check to see if your local library provides access. Mine does, but can only be access at the library (in contrast to most paywall reference sites they pay for access to can be accessed anywhere with a library card number). Since Ancestry.com is such a major site, many libraries provide access to it. AHeneen (talk) 01:26, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi Skr15081997. I've sent you the Globe and Mail articles. - NQ (talk) 12:24, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

@NQ: Thanks for the news articles. I have a small list of other articles but don't know the title or page no., only date and newspaper are available. I can provide a few keywords that will assist in tracking down them.

• Toronto Globe and Mail, 22 May 1952; will include "Toronto Symphony Orchestra".
• Toronto Globe and Mail, 30 May 1952; will include "Toronto Musicians Association", details of a meeting held at Arts and Letter Club on 29 May and the quote "The refusal to renew contracts may indicate an infringement of Canadian artists' right to employment."
• Toronto Daily Star, 15 August 1952; will include a quote from John Moscow "We had given up hope, now we know we have not been forgotten."
• Toronto Daily Star, 26 August 1952; a lengthy editorial includes "Dr. Seeley fears that the TSO directors have, by their action, set the dangerous precedent in Canada of making employment contingent upon a person's ability to obtain a border crossing card from the U.S. Immigration Department ... Significantly, Dr. Seeley's statement last week was followed by an Ottawa dispatch reporting that the Canadian External Affairs department is deeply concerned about the large number of Canadians who have been refused permission to cross our 'invisible border' even for short visits ... It is strongly felt here that the regulations contained in the McCarran Act are so vicious that an opportunity should be found to make the Canadian viewpoint known."
• Toronto Daily Star, 2 September 1952; "Federation of Canadian Artists" and the "Canadian Arts Council", resolved to support [Symphony Six].

This might look a strange request but I have included as much detail as possible. Thanks again.--Skr15081997 (talk) 15:58, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Is there a citable resource available for species names and in whose honour they were named

Resolved

I'm researching an article I'm intending to create on a notable woman scientist Wilmatte Porter Cockerell for the Smithsonian Archives Wikipedia Edit-a-thon on 27th of March. Her husband Theodore Dru Alison Cockerell named numerous species (about 30) in honour of her (under either the name porterae or wilmattae). See the first 5 species in this [3] and around the first 25 or so in this [4]

I've inferred these species are named after her because she normally discovered and collected the type specimen he was naming and Wilmatte is an unusual name. But I need to find a citable source for each of these namings that I can use for my article. I'm by no means an entomologist and am having difficulty understanding the scientific papers published by Cockerell that I can access, assuming I can even find the appropriate article on line (he was writing between 1899 - 1940's). Often the specific article isn't available and even if it is available Cockerell may not specifically state he's named the bug after her.

Does anyone know if there is a citable resource that sets out after whom a bug is named? Or am I on the correct track of just wading through all his writing to see if I can find the stray sentence stating he's naming a bug after his wife? Thanks in advance for any assistance you can offer.Ambrosia10 (talk) 07:16, 21 March 2015 (UTC)

Each of the species description publications will most likely carry the etymology of the new species name, although anyone who knows a bit of naming convention would not doubt your inference here. Shyamal (talk) 02:18, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

I would have to concur. The species gets named when the author makes his or her first publication about it, often under the heading, "A new species of such-n-such", in an appropriate journal or book. The author at that time may or may not explain his/ her reasoning for the name— often, the name given is obvious (e.g., the naming of the bioluminescent fungus Mycena luxaeterna) but this is not always the case and as far as I know the naming author is under no obligation to offer any formal explanation, which leaves the reader to infer it. While it may seem like conducting original research to infer that a particular woman's name was used for the Latin name of an insect, I don't think you'll be stretching the rules much if the connection is as obvious as you claim. But formal explanations, those are really hit and miss. I am going to ping User:Animalparty here and encourage getting another opinion. KDS4444^Talk 20:19, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

It's true that the etymology is not always provided in taxonomic descriptions: some may be defined in successive works and/or unpublished letters, while others are never defined and left as eternal mysteries (see e.g. Sequoia (genus). For some popular taxa there are eponym dictionaries, i.e. The Eponym Dictionary of Amphibians or The Eponym Dictionary of Birds, and some specialty websites might have lists (e.g. Biographical Etymology of Marine Organism Names, Curious Scientific Names, or Curiosities of Biological Nomenclature--though these may not meet WP:RS), but I'm not aware of any specializing in insects (the most speciose group on earth!). Absent of such resources, the next best bet for comprehensive and reliable eponym lists for a person often comes in an obituary, festschrift, or similar biography written by colleagues (general audience biographies may often not deem it worthy to burden readers with hefty chunks of Latin); if not all eponymic species are listed, at least numbers might be thrown out to aid in searching. Tracking down the original descriptions may be the last resort (Biodiversity Heritage Library is great for that), but again, may not provide definite answers. While it might be reasonable to assume that every porterae named by T.D.A. Cockerell is named after his wife, stating such without explicit verification on Wikipedia is WP:OR or WP:SYN at best. In the worst case scenario, a vague yet verifiable statement like "Cockerell named several species after his wife; including [select verified examples]..." would be the most policy compliant statement. --Animalparty-- (talk) 21:54, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks so much for the detailed assistance above. It's very much appreciated. After much research it turns out that her husband wasn't the only one naming numerous insects after her. Several "Cockerellae" also appear to be named in her honor rather than her husband by the publishing entomologist, given that she collected the holotype specimens. However again I'm running up against the issue of no specific statement. Unfortunately despite her large contribution to entomology by way of discovering new species there doesn't appear to be a detailed obituary I can cite. Given this I'm going to attempt to follow the guidelines you've set. I'll edit her article and attempt to use the "vague yet verifiable" approach. Thanks again for all your help.

I was working on the Selena article today and wrote down the page title, author, and the source that I found the information I need to improve the article; but I can't locate an Ilan Stavans article he did on the singer called "Dreaming of You" in which he used the following statements needed;

• queen of hybrid pop culture.
• Hispanic Marilyn Monroe.
• "But even if we had, her music is cursi--melodramatic, cheesy, overemotional, not too far from Juan Gabriel and a relative of Julio Iglesias"
• Acted on Siempre en Domingo.
• Selena is a pantheistic deity.
• to build a plaza with her statue.

I have access to several newspapers across the US as being a college student, but when I search for his article I come up empty. Thanks, jona^(talk) 17:38, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Seems to be cited in this book, but I didn’t manage to see the footnote in the Google snippets. Maybe someone else is more lucky or, better yet, can get his hands on a physical copy of the book. Rgds ✦ _hugarheimur 17:46, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Am going ahead and marking this one as "Resolved", yes? KDS4444^Talk 20:02, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Yes, already added the source to the article. Thanks, jona^(talk) 20:04, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Strange request for the Times

Hi all, I'm looking for four articles in the Times that were published on 31 January 1911. I'm literally staring at a microfilmed edition of that day, but the "South American supplement"—listed in the issue's table of contents (p. 11 of the regular edition) and the Annual Index to the Times—is not included. Please help? I'm looking for:

1. "Naval Strength of South America," 31 Jan 1911, p. 1 (these page numbers are referring to the supplement's pagination... the regular page one has marriages etc.)
2. "The Argentine in the 20th Century," 31 Jan 1911, p. 4
3. "South America and Sea Power," 31 Jan 1911, p. 7
4. "British Goods in Argentina," 31 Jan 1911, p. 9.

I'd like to use these in my South American dreadnought articles to bolster some scanty references in sources. Thanks and a cookie to whomever can help me out. Ed ^{[talk] [majestic titan]} 18:12, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

London Times, New York Times, or some other publication of that name? John M Baker (talk) 21:15, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

London Times. Hi Ed, I was not able to locate it in the Gale digital archives or at Newspapers.com and I doubt it's included anywhere online along with Times archive. The only physical copy available is at the British Library in London. OCLC 751715866. Regards - NQ (talk) 22:30, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

The author of "Naval Strength of South America" is Commander E. Hamilton Currey. I found this passage from him in the book 'The Brazilians and their country'. Not sure if it's of any relevance. For "The Argentine in the 20th Century," there is a book by the same name published later in 1915. - NQ (talk) 23:17, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
