Hi ! I'm a French wikipedian working on the French version of the article about the Aston Martin Lagonda.

Hello. I'm wondering if anyone has any part of the book Hoi Toide on the Outer Banks by Walt Wolfram and Natalie Schilling-Estes (1997). It's hard now to specify which section of the book I might be looking for because even the Table of Contents isn't available to view on Google Books, but I guess I'm particularly looking for any phonology/pronunciation-related sections, since I've been editing the relevant WP page High Tider.

Bull Arab (dog) encyclopaedic reference
I am looking for encyclopaedic reference on the Bull Arab, an Australian dog. They are typically described as comprised of 50% English Bull Terrier, 25% Greyhound and 25% German Short Pointer. The breed is not yet registered but has become very popular in Australia. I don't have easy access to a library full of dog books, but seeking assistance from someone who does who could check the literally dozens (if not hundreds) of dog reference books and find references.AWHS (talk) 09:53, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
- Can I add that I have trawled Google and found virtually every online reference, newspapers, etc. The chief problem is that most are not encyclopaedic references, so little detail like height, weight etc needs to be supported. AWHS (talk) 00:02, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
The source is in the Armenian language. It's by Teodik (Teotig) and it's called the Amenuyn Daretsuyts. The volume I am looking for is the 1912 edition. Unfortunately, Hathi Trust doesn't have that year ([7]). Would really appreciate it. --Étienne Dolet (talk) 17:43, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Weik article and Florida Bicentennial Trail
I have been working on a couple of articles over in the Geography section, and I have encountered a couple of sources that I would like to use, but I do not have access to.
1.)I found that the article "The Role of Ethnogenesis and Organization in the Development of African-American Settlements: an African Seminole Model" by Dr. Terrance M. Weik, which was published in the International Journal of Historical Archaelogy June 2009 edition (Vol. 13, No. 2), contained information about the area that I have been editing. I registered with JSTOR's Register & Read program, but the article is not accessible with my type of account. I am an alumna of a college, but I am not a member of the alumni association.
2.) I came across a few excerpts from the Tampa Tribune article "Sumpter Countians Ambush State on Bicentennial Trail" (published February 16, 1976) on the SeminoleWar blog. I would like to access the article. (Note: Sumpter also could be spelled "Sumter" in the article's title as "Sumter" is the correct spelling of the county's name.)
Could I please have access to these two? SciGal (talk) 17:36, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
- Guy from Tampa here. This is from memory so it may be wrong, but it's my understanding that the Trib is only available electronically back to the 1990s, and to go back further would require microfilm. However, the nearby St. Pete Times is available on Google News back to the 19th century, so you might find a similar article there. Gamaliel (talk) 18:15, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for the suggestion. I wasn't able to find the exact article, but I was able to find an article from the Ocala Star-Banner people asking the Sumter County commissioners about cleaning Dade Battlefield in 1976 and a St. Pete Times article about the fight over the removal of a fence at the park. (Pardon the informal title for the park; I know people from Sumter County, and that is one of two ways I have heard residents refer to the park.) SciGal (talk) 20:05, 7 April 2014 (UTC)
May I ask a question? Within the last two weeks, I found a copy of the Weik's article on Scribd. Can I use that? SciGal (talk) 16:49, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
- Okay, I noted earlier this week that it was a preview and not the full article. SciGal (talk) 16:15, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
- Personally, I would like to have the full article, please. SciGal (talk) 16:33, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
- @SciGal: I've revived this stale request. I've sent the Ethnogenesis article on October 14th 2015. I also unremoved the striked out second reference because you have not received the Tampa Tribune article. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 19:49, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

Overview or reference works or articles on Jews as an ethnic group
I am seeking shortish pieces, along the lines of encyclopedia or dictionary articles, relating specifically to how Jews are described or defined in terms of ethnic groups and ethnoreligious groups. Yes, I know there are a lot of such articles, and any and all would be welcome, to help provide an indicator of how other reference sources deal with the topic. Two specific sources which might be particularly relevant include the articles in the Harvard Encyclopedia of Ethnic Groups and Ethnic Groups of Europe: An Encyclopedia, but any other similar works of a similar focus would be particularly useful.
This request is being made pursuant to an existing comment at WP:NORN#Definition of Jews. Gross original research/WP:SYNTH violation regarding complaints about the lead of the article on Jews. John Carter (talk) 17:02, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
- John Carter, are you looking for more general pieces, such as the Oxford English Dictionary entry and the Britannica article, or are you looking for more focused sources, such as the two you cite? John M Baker (talk) 19:54, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
- The two specifically mentioned might be the most useful, given their focus. But, at the same time, any other encyclopedic type works like like Encyclopedia Britannica or any other works of a roughly encyclopedic nature regarding the topic might help indicate how they structure their lede section, which seems to be the basis of the problem here.John Carter (talk) 19:56, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Rusty Tailed Flycatcher
I have recently taker pictures of a small bird, I think is a 'Rusty Tailed Flycatcher' Has anyone else seen them in Cyprus. I have pictures but I can not add them to this request.
- If I'm understanding your question you are asking if that bird is known to exist in Cyprus. If that is what you are asking this unfortunately is not the place for such questions. The Resource Exchange is for people looking for specific references: journal articles, old newspaper articles, etc. to use to edit Wikipedia. If you have a general question the place to ask it is the Wikipedia:Reference_desk Go there and navigate to the page for science. If I'm not understanding your question please say a bit more about what you are looking for. --MadScientistX11 (talk) 15:46, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
- Also, have you checked this article: Rusty-tailed_flycatcher? It has some info on the habitat. --MadScientistX11 (talk) 15:48, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
- For what it's worth, I don't think there is any chance of this species occurring in Cyprus, Spotted Flycatcher is more likely, but you won't get a definitive answer until you upload your images. When you do, let me know and I'll comment again Jimfbleak - talk to me? 16:13, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

Photos of Fan Noli from book
Founding a Balkan State: Albania's Experiment with Democracy, 1920-1925 (google books, worldcat). Looking for the photo on page 85 of Fan Noli, which may or may not be the same photo as File:FAN NOLI.jpg. If it is the same, could you add that source to the Commons image page, so the photo isn't deleted? If it's not the same, could you scan and upload it? (It would be PD-US given that he was living in the US at that time.) The photo on page 86 would also be good if you are able to scan/upload (1922 from Boston, PD-US). There may be other photos that are pre-1923 that are not PD in the country of origin (Albania) and could be uploaded to en.wikipedia but not Commons.

Request for book review
Hi, I am trying to get a copy of book reviews for The Ex-Wives, a novel by Deborah Moggach first published in April 1993. Specifically I am after the reviews from the Sunday Times and the Daily Telegraph, excerpts of which are provided on http://www.deborahmoggach.com/index.php/the-ex-wives I suspect the reviews will date from around April 1993. I am writing an article on the novel and am trying to populate the Reception section, Thanks GrahamHardy (talk) 17:48, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
- GrahamHardy, I can forward you the Sunday Times review if you enable email on your Wikipedia account. Alternatively, you can email me and I'll reply with the review. John M Baker (talk) 19:34, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

- @GrahamHardy, Daily Telegraph ISSN 0307-1235 – will likely require manual lookup, so would be helpful to have a specific date/page czar 21:03, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
@Czar: The book was published in April 1993, so it could be during or after April 1993. That's my best guess. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 01:04, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
- Right, but I think the burden is on the requester to pull a more specific citation before sending someone to skim through multiple months of newspapers. czar 03:21, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
- @Czar: True, but there isn't a specific date based on the above link. This is a rough guess. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 03:57, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
- Right—I'm saying that this request has next to no chance of being fulfilled unless someone (the requester?) finds the full citation, including the date czar 04:05, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
- I have no date as per the original quote from the Deborah Moggach website, never mind, Thanks GrahamHardy (talk) 08:43, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

- Sorry, but if I could have gotten this review I would have done so when I got the Times review. I only have access to the Daily Telegraph from October 2000. John M Baker (talk) 16:12, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
- @John M Baker: @Czar: So that means it should be somewhere between April 1993-October 2000. At least it narrows it down a bit. What date did you find the Sunday Times article? I'd assume that the other review would be around the same time too. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 18:28, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Dreamworld Tibet: Western illusions, Martin Brauen (or other material about "singing bowls")
- Dreamworld Tibet: Western illusions, Martin Brauen, Orchid Press, ISBN 9745240516.
The requested part starts with "A special category of such Dharma products is constituted by the allegedly Tibetan ‘singing bowls’, which have nothing to do with Tibet (...)".
Note that google scholar will find you a pdf but that is only an excerpt.
This link says so-called "Tibetan singing bowls" are a Western invention from the 1960s, in which case singing bowl is almost a hoax article. The link is a personal website from an anthropology student, so hardly good enough, hence the call for the primary reference it quotes.
Any related material from reputable sources is appreciated, of course.

Have hard copies of these articles, but am unable to find online links that I can cite them too. Articles are are cut out from full newspaper pages, so not all information is accessible.

Author: Robert Trost Publisher: The Grand Rapids Press Quote from first Paragraph: "The 1936, 10 1/2 pound, Detroit-made Clarke Troller hanging on a wall near the front entrance to Van's Sport Center at 1855 Alpine St NW is dwarfed by the 1992, v-6, 150 horsepower Evinrude outboard motor displayed below."
2) Title: "Van's Specializes in repairs"
Author and publisher unknown Quote: "With 11,000 square feet indoors and 2 1/2 fenced acres outdoors, Van's Sport Center has plenty of room to store and repair marine equipment"

- Greeting Molly. Just FYI: you don't have to have an online version to use it as a Wikipedia reference. It is best if you do but its not a requirement. Although, you do need some basic info such as the name of the paper, magazine, etc. where the reference was published so IMO number 2 is not a legitimate reference. I searched for both but couldn't find them, perhaps someone else will have more luck. Also, if you are going to be editing I suggest you establish a Wikipedia user ID rather than using your IP address. It just takes a second and it makes it easier to collaborate with other Wikipedians. Cheers. --MadScientistX11 (talk) 17:09, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Do people have access to any databases which search full texts of articles to see if they mention/discuss this case?
Is it mentioned in these papers?

Sources for The Life and Death of 9413: a Hollywood Extra
I'm working on The Life and Death of 9413: a Hollywood Extra (MrLinkinPark333 (talk · contribs) has already helped me get one source as requested above). While I think it will be close to GA-worthy status soon, there are a few sources I'd like to get my hands on so I can eventually bring it up to FA. Most of these sources I've seen used as references in other sources that I was able to access. But the ones below I have not been able to get, so I'm hoping to see if anyone can help me get some or all of them.

Linkin Park album reviews
Hello. I am currently looking for reviews of Linkin Park's albums Hybrid Theory and Meteora:
- NME January 13, 2001 p. 35. Might be the same as this archived review on their website. I would like to compare them and see if they are the same or not.
- Q Magazine January 2001 p. 111. There might be a typo in the article of the lead singer's name. It's Chester Bennington, not Chester Bellington.
- Q Magazine May 2003 p. 104. This one is a review of Meteora.
Thanks again! --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 23:25, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
Journal of Heritage Tourism
Dear editors: There's a draft article Draft:Roots tourism which could be used to expand Genealogy tourism, which is poorly sourced and could use information about Africa. However, the text is very polished, and its creator is the author of one of the references, HERE. Before merging in any content, I'd like to check to make sure there aren't copyright problems.

Shirnengiin Ayuush
Hello.
I'm having trouble finding relilable sources for Shirnengiin Ayuush. I'm not quite sure if this is a real person or not. The references given don't seem to mention him, but I'll like to double check before nominating for deletion.
- Studies on Mongolia: proceedings of the First North American Conference on Mongolian Studies Volume 1978 by Henry G. Schwartz (1979)
- Mongolia: a profile by Viktor Porfirievich Petrov (1970) p. 131
- Culture and the Asian tradition by J. F. Conceicao (1974) p. 95.
Searching via the given Google Books links doesn't mention him. His last name may be Ayush or Ayusi, but I'm not getting anything. There is also a link to an Encyclopedia Britannica that mentions his name, which could mean there's an article in there about him. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 05:52, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
- The Britannica article on Mongolian Literature mentions in passing that a Shirnengiin Ayush (Ayusi) died during the purges of the late 1930s. John M Baker (talk) 02:08, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- I did see that. I thought because he was mentioned briefly in the article, there might be a full article in the encyclopedia on him as well. Guess not. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 02:47, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- No other references in Britannica to Ayusi, Ayush, or Ayuush. John M Baker (talk) 06:00, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- Alright, I crossed out that part. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 20:06, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
- Just looking at what is available on Google Books for the references cited in our article, I note that Conceicao mentions him (as S. Ayush) and Petrov mentions his opera, Princess Dolgor and Arat Damdin (mentioned in our article as Arat Damdin and Princess Dolgor). There is apparently a reference to the opera in Schwarz, too, although I can't tell what it says. So it appears to me that this was a real person. John M Baker (talk) 01:18, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
- Did you look using those links provided in the references? I see no mentions of his name in any of the Google Books. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 01:31, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, using those links I searched for the three spellings of his name (there may be others I don't know about, since it's a transliteration of whatever they speak in Mongolia), and I searched for "Dolgor," with the findings mentioned in my previous post. John M Baker (talk) 03:05, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
- Ahh i was looking without capital A. I hope there's more reliable resources instead of passing mentions. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 03:40, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
