Resource Request

How to use this page

Making a request

Before asking volunteers to look for your source, try finding it yourself with the tools at your disposal.

In particular, eligible editors can use the Wikipedia Library, which gives access to content provided by numerous academic publishers.

Fixing references and common medical problems!
Warning: for legal reasons, we must note that the Resource Exchange cannot fix any medical problems. But it can fix references.

• Though we would prefer you to ask for a specific journal, article or work, we will accept open-ended questions. You can ask for all kinds of sources here, either on this page or by writing directly to an active user.
• Provide as much detail as possible: a full citation with author, title, publisher, date and identifiers like DOI, ISBN, ISSN, PMID, OCLC, etc. Indicate which article you need this for.
• Due to copyright restrictions, we cannot send you full book/thesis copies. Narrow down your request to a specific chapter or page(s).
• Since we cannot post original copyrighted material online, we will most likely send it by email. Make sure you have specified an email address in your preferences before asking.
• Add the {{Resolved}} template when your request is completed.
• Filled requests are archived. Requests unfilled after three months will also be archived.

What to try next

If you are unable to obtain what you need here, you may be able to get it via the WMF resource support pilot.

Fulfilling a request

No problem, IOHANNVSVERVS. I removed the {{resolved}} template, as I'm still trying to get the additional pages. --Usernameunique (talk) 02:35, 4 March 2026 (UTC)

Brilliant! IOHANNVSVERVS (talk) 03:51, 4 March 2026 (UTC)

IOHANNVSVERVS, just sent pages 30 to 40. Still working on the rest. --Usernameunique (talk) 18:16, 30 March 2026 (UTC)

@IOHANNVSVERVS Have you received all pages? Can this be marked as resolved? YuniToumei (talk) 12:42, 20 May 2026 (UTC)

No I haven't, @YuniToumei. I would still very much like to if possible. A video of someone flipping through the pages would work just as well and might be easier than scanning every page btw @Usernameunique, not sure if that's an option. Thank you both.

A belated thank you for staying on this. IOHANNVSVERVS (talk) 03:16, 23 June 2026 (UTC)

No problem, IOHANNVSVERVS. I honestly don't know why this one is proving so difficult; I've sent in many requests which have been ignored, and so keep sending them in. My best guess is that the library is just particularly sensitive about this one given how short it is, meaning that the fair-use threshold is calculated as quite low. --Usernameunique (talk) 00:59, 27 June 2026 (UTC)

IOHANNVSVERVS, sent pages 63 to 69. Will try to get page 62 (which seems to be missing) along with the next set. --Usernameunique (talk) 23:55, 30 July 2026 (UTC)

Hello! I'm working on the article about Félix Carvajal in Russian Wikipedia. The quality of the scans available at dLOC/UFL ([1], [2]) and UCLA is horrendous. (And it's exactly the same scans. Do the hard copies still exist at all?) Besides the photos, some important text parts are barely readable, even with the various digital adjustments and OCR engines' help. They contain the proper names, so, let's say, Google Search can't guess them. At the very least, I need the accurate text of the right column on page 27 of the first article, if anybody can recognize it. But maybe it's not the place to ask about that.

For 1955 Indonesian legislative election. I originally found out about this book through a citation in Regime Change and Ethnic Politics in Indonesia: Dayak Politics of West Kalimantan (2012). I am hoping that this book has detailed results of the 1955 elections by city/regency (kota/kabupaten in Indonesian) as this information does not seem to be available anywhere online, with this map being an exception. However the map has the wrong boundaries and its source seems to be this gif file which has no source attached.

Thanks, Kaythehistorian (talk) 16:39, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

Unfortunately, this book is print only and the only Indonesian library I found with this book in its catalogue is the library of an obscure and far away university in North Sumatra. However, according to WorldCat, the book is available in ~30 something libraries outside of Indonesia. Most notably, at the New York Public Library, Leiden University, Cornell University, Yale University, the Library of Congress, the ISEAS – Yusof Ishak Institute, and etc. Kaythehistorian (talk) 16:49, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

Magic (American magazine) articles about Sterling Dietz

• Johnston, Rory (September 2007). "Sweet Sixteen: Sterling Dietz". Magic. Vol. 17, no. 1. pp. 76–77. EBSCOhost 26556446. ProQuest 2298539.

  The EBSCO Information Services abstract notes: "The article profiles magician Sterling Dietz from Lynden, Washington. He started studying magic when he was 14 years old and has won in the teen division championship of the 2006 World Magic Seminar with his performance featuring a light-up dancing cane and card manipulation. Apart from this, he has also received the People's Choice Award and the Genii Award for the promising newcomer category. Dietz stresses the significance of the help, training, and guidance provided by the people around him."

  The ProQuest abstract notes: "Teenage magician Sterling Dietz is profiled. His short career and accomplishments during the two-year span as a performer are discussed. Dietz comments on how he has excelled through the positive encouragement of others."

• Johnston, Rory (January 2011). "South for the Winter". Magic. Vol. 20, no. 5. pp. 56–57. EBSCOhost 57873585. ProQuest 853982008.

  The EBSCO Information Services abstract notes: "The article reviews a magic show by Sterling Dietz at Teatro de la Cuidad in San Jose del Cabo, Mexico on October 16, 2010."

  The ProQuest abstract notes: ""The Magic of Sterling" opened at the Teatro de la Cuidad in San José del Cabo, Mexico, in an invitation-only event on October 16, 2010. The star of the magic show, 19-year-old Sterling Dietz, had to secure authorization to perform in the government-owned theater, and he also performed two benefit shows to pay for refurbishments on November 6. He was then faced with the resignation of his assistant and a cancellation of his permission to use the theater but managed to open the show for the public on November 15. Booked through May 2011, Dietz plans to return to the United States after the end of the run."

For Sterling Dietz.

Source lookup: 1970 Al-Ahram Archive for Dr. Ahmed Kamel Naim

• "Search request for Dr. Ahmed Kamel Naim (أحمد كامل نعيم)". Al-Ahram. 1970.

For Draft:Ahmed Kamel naim

Hello, could someone with access to the East View Al-Ahram Digital Archive (1970) help me check for a news clipping?

I am trying to locate an article about my father, Dr. Ahmed Kamel Naim (د. أحمد كامل نعيم). He was elected directly to the MRCOG/FRCOG at the Royal College meeting on January 30–31, 1970. Al-Ahram covered it at the time, noting he was the 2nd Egyptian and 3rd Arab to achieve this honor without exams.

Could someone please run a quick keyword search in the 1970 archive database for:

• "أحمد كامل نعيم" (Ahmed Kamel Naim)
• "ثاني مصري" (Second Egyptian)

I have declared my COI on the draft talk page. Finding this missing piece will be a huge help to get the references where they need to be.

Thanks, Mohamed Naim (talk) 17:52, 30 May 2026 (UTC)

Mohamed Naim, I followed your instructions but didn't find anything. I'm not sure how good the Arabic-language OCR is, though, so it may still be in there. If there's a different query you'd like me to try, let me know. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 06:03, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

Thank you soon much Extraordinary ,really appreciate your help. Though I read that Al-Ahram article by myself back in the seventies but yes the Arabic OCR might easily miss. The actual certificate date is 12th of June 1970, he was working in Kuwait at that time (Director of the new Maternity Hospital), so there is a good possibility that it was announced on different Kuwaiti newspapers (like Al-Qabas,Al-Rai al-Aam and others),he occasionally appeared in regional news reports regarding public health and medical administration(1961-1987).

​If you or any other editors with access to regional or Gulf archives are open to running a broader search, some helpful alternative keywords might be:

"أحمد نعيم" (Ahmed Naim)

"الزماله الفخريه" (Honorary Fellow)

"مستشفى الولادة" (Maternity Hospital)

"مدير الإدارة المركزية" (Director of Central Administration)

"تشغيل المستشفيات الجديدة" (Commissioning/Operationalizing new hospitals)

"نعيم" (Naim)

No worries at all if this is outside your scope—your first check was already a huge help,appreciated. Mohamed Naim (talk) 13:21, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

Also, a quick note regarding his international work: I have his physical certificate for the Mauritanian Medal of Honor (Médaille d'honneur, 3e classe), awarded by presidential decree 137/D/83 on November 16, 1983, for his role in healthcare infrastructure.

If anyone has access to the Mauritanian state newspaper Al-Chaab (الشعب) or North African archives, a quick search for his name "أحمد نعيم" alongside "وسام الشرف" would be a massive help to find a secondary citation for this award.

Thanks again Mohamed Naim (talk) 13:51, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

New Zealand Figure Skating Championships

I am looking for the following results from the New Zealand Figure Skating Championships:

• July 28, 1946 @ Lake Tekapo
• July 31, 1956 @ Lake Tekapo
• July 12, 1959 @ Manorburn Dam
• August 12–13(ish), 1977 @ Aukland

In all cases, I have the champions (gold medalists), but I am missing the silver and bronze medalists. Any help would be appreciated!

2. Mimikakliu. Berisha, Anton. Antologji e përrallës shqipe. Rilindja, 1982. pp. 128-140.

The tale is connected to Albanian tale Gjarupni dhe i vdekuni ("The Girl and the Dead Man"), which the collectors of the latter noted to be a "variant" of Mimikakliu, in that the heroine marries a serpent bridegroom, disenchants him, is tricked by her stepmother/relative and banished, and marries another man who is dead and whom she revives. It is part of a Southeastern European oikotype of King Lindworm as a two-part narrative (akin to Greek The Girl with Two Husbands), as explained by scholars.

Australian Figure Skating Championships

I have been working off-and-on for the past two years to complete the results tables at Australian Figure Skating Championships. As you can see, there are numerous instances of missing data, including the host cities, and silver/bronze medalists. I have pored through Newspapers.com, Old News, Trove, and just now bought a week's access to the archives of The Sydney Morning Herald. National figure skating championships would typically have been held between July and September. If anyone can suggest other avenues for finding any of this information, I would appreciate it. To be clear, I need only the senior-level results.

I do know these particular dates:

1. August 1981 @ Brisbane
2. July 14–20, 1984 @ Bribsbane
3. July 28 – August 4, 1985 @ Melbourne
4. August 29–30, 1987 @ Brisbane

Both cited in Protectorate General to Pacify the West

I've looked to the best of my abilites on Internet Archives, Google Books, and through the Wiki Library but have only found previews that don't include the cited pages.

Issue is that 4 sources are cited for a claim regarding Tang Chinese Suzerainty as far as Herat circa 660 CE, but when I've looked into 2 of them I could find 1 explicty disagrees while the other doesn't mention it at all but deals with a period 100 years later in the 8th century instead of the 7th.

So it is up to these 2 other sources I've not been able to find to redeem the claim.

Press coverage and book reviews for Draft:Allen Pittman (martial-arts author, c. 1985–2010)

For Draft:Allen Pittman (declined at AfC for lack of independent coverage; I have a declared COI and am gathering sources before considering resubmission) I would be grateful for help locating:

1. A Washington Post Magazine review quoted on the Tuttle Publishing cover of Chinese Internal Boxing by Robert W. Smith and Allen Pittman: "A welcome addition to books on the 'soft' arts by a recognized international expert on hand-to-hand combat." The books under review would be Hsing-I: Chinese Internal Boxing and/or Pa-Kua: Eight-Trigram Boxing (both Tuttle, 1990), most likely reviewed 1990–1993. It is also possible the blurb originates from a review of an earlier Robert W. Smith title.
2. Any trade-journal reviews of those two 1990 Tuttle volumes or of Pittman's Walking the I Ching: The Linear Ba Gua of Gao Yi Sheng (Blue Snake Books, 2008) — e.g. Library Journal, Booklist, Publishers Weekly.
3. Any Atlanta Journal-Constitution (or other newspaper) feature on Allen Pittman, who taught Chinese internal martial arts in Atlanta c. 1984–2000, including a program at Georgia State University.

Exact citations (date, author, title, page) would suffice; scans welcome if permissible. Many thanks. DaoFlow (talk) 06:47, 7 July 2026 (UTC)

@DaoFlow:

Re. #1: I'm not sure where to find an archive of The Washington Post Magazine specifically, but the closest I found in The Washington Post is:

Robert W. Smith, a Bethesdan who teaches the rarely seen "soft" arts of pa-kua, hsing-i and t'ai-chi and is recognized as an international expert on hand-to-hand combat, says that if he could choose a companion in a back-alley brawl, it would be a judo man. "Sooner or later," he says, "you come to grips with each other."

-25 Dec 1983: SM11.

Re. #2: Searching "Allen Pittman". Nothing relevant in Library Journal (1976-present), Booklist (1993-present) or Publishers Weekly (1990-present). Searching the Gale Literature Resource Center only gives one result for "Allen Pittman". In the Contemporary Authors entry for "Robert W(illiam) Smith", his bibliogrpahy states

(With Allen Pittman) Pa-kua Eight Trigram Boxing, Charles E. Tuttle (Rutland, VT), 1990.

(With Allen Pittman) Hsing-I: Chinese Internal Boxing, Charles E. Tuttle (Rutland, VT), 1990.

Re. #3: Nothing relevant in the Atlanta Journal or the Atlanta Constitution, or anything in any Atlanta newspaper, per newspapers.com: https://www.newspapers.com/search/results/?city=Atlanta&county=Fulton&date-end=2006&date-start=1980&keyword=%22Allen+Pittman%22&region=us-ga ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 17:28, 11 July 2026 (UTC)

@ARandomName123: Thank you — very helpful. The 1983 date suggests Tuttle recycled the blurb from an earlier Smith profile, which settles #1 conclusively. Three quick follow-ups: (a) and (b) would help me improve the under-referenced Robert W. Smith (writer) — could you give me the title and author of that 25 Dec 1983 piece (SM11), and the full bibliography list from that Contemporary Authors entry (if it is not too long to paste)? (c) On the original request: newspapers.com's coverage of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution in the 1980s–90s is known to be incomplete — does anyone here have ProQuest access to the AJC for the same "Allen Pittman" search? Thanks again. DaoFlow (talk) 08:50, 12 July 2026 (UTC)

@DaoFlow: Regarding the 25 Dec 1983 piece, turns out that was in the Magazine section of the WaPo, presumably SM means Sunday Magazine. Here's the citation: Denny, Robert (25 December 1983). "THE KUNG FOOEY OF SELF DEFENSE: Why the martial arts may not be the best choice for dark alleys". The Washington Post. pp. SM11. ProQuest 147492461.

Regarding AJC, I have Factiva access 1986-present, which turned up one result from 16 May 1987, and unless your Pittman was a bookstore owner, I doubt they're the same person:

One amusing correction for the record: the bookstore owner is the same Allen Pittman — a 1991 profile of him records that he ran his parents' Atlanta bookshop in the 1980s while teaching martial arts on the side. A trivial mention, so it does not change the sourcing picture, but the identification is correct. The Denny citation and the Contemporary Authors bibliography will go straight into Robert W.

Algorithmic amplification

• Requesting the earliest recorded use of the phrase "algorithmic amplification". I have checked the OED and it does not appear to have an exact entry for the phrase. Ordinary web searches have not returned a solid earliest-use result. An OED entry giving a first-attestation date and quotation would be ideal if I have missed one. Failing that, the earliest datable usages anyone can find in dictionaries, academic databases, legal or policy databases, historical news corpora, or web archives would let me assess whether a short note on the term's origin can be added.

• Men's event: It sounds like Gilberto Viadana was the winner. Any word on the second- or third-place finishers? Since the men competed during the broadcast, I have to imagine the identities of the runners-up were announced.

• Pairs: There was only one team – Anna Tabacchi & Massimo Salvadè – since the event was going on in real time and they were followed immediately by the dancers.

• Ice dance: It sounds like Anna Croci & Luca Mantovani were the winners. Any word on the second- and third-place results? I have to imagine it was mentioned in there somewhere since the ice dance event was happening in real time.

I'm trying to see, in regards to the May 1997 ban on Nigerian air carriers, if the British government either cited Nigeria Airways Flight 357 specifically or cited a date range of accidents which would include this accident.

• Hayward, Joel (2008). "The Luftwaffe and Agility". In Parton, Neville (ed.). Air Power: The Agile Air Force. Royal Air Force Centre for Air Power Studies. pp. 40–49.

For Aerial warfare during Operation Barbarossa — I have been gathering the relevant sources and rewriting/expanding it, and it is now nearly complete. Could I ask whether anyone would be able to help gather and confirm whether the following passages are actually supported on the cited page numbers of the corresponding books? These are the few titles I have been unable to obtain. If at all possible, scanned images of the relevant page(s) or a PDF would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

For each item below I have quoted the exact sentence from the article together with the cited page number and the section it appears in, to make cross-checking easier. Please also point out any page-number drift, unsupported detail, or overstatement.

#	Source & page	Section	Sentence in the article	What needs checking
1	Karl-Heinz Frieser, The Blitzkrieg Legend (1995), p. 350	Background	"The method is usually labelled Blitzkrieg, though the concept is controversial and unrelated to any specific German doctrine."	Does p. 350 support that "Blitzkrieg" is controversial / unrelated to any specific German doctrine? Note that the English edition is usually dated 2005, but the article cites "1995".
2	Richard Overy, The Air War, 1939–1945 (1980), p. 59 (first use)	German Air Force → Strategic strike capability	"It was not until the winter, 1941–42 that Jeschonnek and Hitler revisited the idea of producing a heavy bomber to hit far ranging targets."	Page number and support for the winter 1941–42 revival of heavy-bomber production, and for the following claim that IV. Fliegerkorps became operational only after the November 1943 study "Operations against the Russian Armaments Industry".
3	Richard Overy, The Air War, 1939–1945 (1980), p. 59 (second use)	Intelligence → Assessment of the Soviet Air Force	"In fact, the VVS and Soviet aircraft supply was well-organised far behind the front."	Does p. 59 support that the VVS and its aircraft-supply system were well organised far behind the front? Same page as #2 — please confirm that both claims sit on p. 59.
4	Joel Hayward, "The Luftwaffe and Agility", in Air Power: The Agile Air Force (RAF, 2008), pp. 40–49, cited at p. 49	German Air Force → Operations and tactics	"The air units were told what to achieve by high echelons, but not how to do it." Part of the paragraph on Auftragstaktik / mission command, encouraging improvisation and skipping command layers.	Does p. 49 support the mission-command description? The chapter is cited as pp. 40–49, so the p. 50 used in #5 falls outside the stated range.
5	Joel Hayward, "The Luftwaffe and Agility", in Air Power: The Agile Air Force (RAF, 2008), p. 50	German Air Force → Operations and tactics	"This gave the Luftwaffe an unmatched degree of tactical and operational flexibility." Preceded by the description of ad-hoc task-organisation letting field commanders break up and reconstitute command structures at Fliegerkorps level.	Page-range conflict — the bibliography gives this chapter as pp. 40–49, but this citation uses p. 50. Please confirm the correct page, and whether the chapter actually runs to p. 50.
6	James Corum, The Luftwaffe: Creating the Operational Air War, 1918–1940 (1997), p. 228	German Air Force → Logistics	"Chief of the General Staff, Hans Jeschonnek, since his days as chief of the operations staff, had opposed the notion that organisation, maintenance and logistics should be the responsibility of the General Staff." Preceded by "Supply and organisation were not the General Staff's concern."	Does p. 228 support Jeschonnek's opposition to logistics, organisation and maintenance being a General Staff responsibility?
7	James Corum, The Luftwaffe: Creating the Operational Air War, 1918–1940 (1997), pp. 230–231	German Air Force → Strategic strike capability (footnote)	"He insisted all aircraft should have the [dive-bombing] capability, which retarded the development of capable bombers like the Heinkel He 177, by complicating the design, thus delaying development and production." Footnote on Jeschonnek's and Udet's preference for dive-bombers.	pp. 230–231 — the dive-bombing requirement and its effect on the He 177 programme.

@Aizag The original German version of the book "Blitzkrieg-Legende: Der Westfeldzug 1940" can be viewed via the Wikipedia Library.

For Cecile Elstein

I'm trying to find the page number(s) where this book discusses the artist Cecile Elstein, so I can properly cite it in her article. The book grew out of a 1992 exhibition at the Whitworth Art Gallery, Manchester, and I believe it includes discussion of her work, but I haven't been able to locate a copy with searchable text to confirm the page. If anyone has access to a physical or scanned copy and can check the index for "Elstein," I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks, ~2026-42402-92 (talk) 08:04, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

@~2026-42402-92 The passage on Cecile Elstein is on p. 83:

"By contrast, the collaboration involved in the production of Cecile Elstein's print was of a quite different nature, although on the surface it would appear to have involved a female artist working with a male assistant. One with Another was produced at a professional screenprinting workshop in Cambridge, where Elstein worked in collaboration with a man named Kip Gresham who, although frequently referred to as a 'master printer', in fact works as an artist himself, as well as collaborating with other artists. Unlike the decidedly minor role assigned to Sparling in Hodgkin's print, Gresham's contribution here was not only to advise on the choice of inks and papers, but also to supervise, and at times carry out, the preparation of the screens to be used for printing; the actual printing of the edition was done by Gresham and an assistant, with Elstein working alongside them at every stage. Elstein came to the workshop having worked for several weeks making preparatory drawings, testing colours and devising a strategy for the image she wanted to make, but the final print contains an inextricable mixture of her own ideas and Gresham's technical expertise, as the image continually developed and changed as the two people worked on its production."
