I want to use this book for sourcing on pages such as Draft:North Korean graphic design and Draft:Fashion in North Korea. Unfortunately, the book is out of print, meaning that it can only be acquired secondhand. I provided an ebay link, but if a cheaper copy can be found, feel absolutely free to use that instead.

  • Requesting user: Aviationwikiflight (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
  • Resource link and title: Paperback version (no preference over the version): Yap, Chin-Chin (2026). Palestine in the Air: A Cultural History of Palestinian Aviation. I.B. Tauris. ISBN 978-0-7556-5147-4.
  • Link to request on RX: Full book needed.

I would use this book to develop aviation-related articles regarding Palestine. The main priorities would be to develop Palestinian Airlines and also Palestine Airways, but I've also identified other potential articles in which this book could be useful, including Yasser Arafat International Airport. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 22:25, 15 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Status:     Approved

I would use the book to cross-reference and add additional information regarding T-1, T-2, and T-3 tankers on the English Wikipedia, primarily by creating articles for the hundreds of oil tankers (civilian and military) that have yet to be included. Based on the detail in the book, I may also use it to create articles on each design of tanker as well. Template:Type T2-SE-A1 tankers alone lists 324 red-linked tankers, many of which are notable for inclusion. GGOTCC 00:10, 7 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Ooh, interesting. I'll send an email with next steps. RAdimer-WMF (talk) 02:08, 11 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Status:     Approved

For a large series of biographies and related topics surrounding the Mongol Empire and Yuan dynasty; for instance, the small part of the book to which I currently have access is very useful for my ongoing work on Mongol conquests. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 19:22, 5 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Darfur Sultanate, and summarised on relevant pages. There's a listing at AbeBooks for $44 (£33) [2], annoyingly it's being republished on 25 Feb 2027 for £25 ($34) [3]. Thank you Kowal2701 (talk, contribs) 13:13, 5 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

This book will come in handy since I have been working on Kingdom of Benin subjects since forever, including but not limited to the kings (even the pre-imperial ones). I would appreciate getting this book, really. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 11:05, 22 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Dagoofybloke 2

[edit]

Status:     Approved

To expand Mising People and to create new daughter articles like Mising culture, Mising history. This book is a very detailed study about the clan system of the Misings. I believe it would be a top resource to expand the existing article. Many other research article also cite this book, so it forms the basis to many other research articles.

TechnoSquirrel69 2

[edit]

Status:     Approved

This is an important source for improving articles related to Studio Ghibli, which is difficult to access where I am due to it being in Japanese. I don't believe this title is available as an e-book. I've gotten by so far requesting a few pages at a time through ILLs, but it would be far easier to simply have a full copy. Please let me know if you have any questions! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 22:47, 22 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@TechnoSquirrel69, thanks for your request! Do you know of sites where this book can be purchased? I've checked the usual sites I check (bookfinder,isbnsearch,biblio) and haven't found results. Best, RAdimer-WMF (talk) 22:11, 5 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Hey Rae! I looked a little as well, but I only found retailers that ship to Japan (Yodobashi, Amazon). I'm going to talk to a couple people who live in Japan to see if they'd be willing to receive the book and send it across the water to me (at my expense). I'll let you know how that goes, but would that be satisfactory for your team? —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 00:01, 6 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I'll send an email! RAdimer-WMF (talk) 23:50, 14 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Status:     Approved

I plan to use the book to improve the isekai article, which lacks high-quality sources despite its importance to the subject area, as well as articles for several isekai series. The book covers isekai from a historical, literary, and cultural perspective, with much of the content not previously explored in academic literature. If this request is granted, the book's contents will be used to the greatest extent possible, and I'll also provide excerpts on request to other editors. Thanks, Crestfalling (talk/contribs) 19:28, 21 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Crestfalling: Hello! I wanted to check, as this request hasn't been transcluded, is this an open request? If yes, I'll review and send info on next steps. Best, RAdimer-WMF (talk) 02:38, 18 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@RAdimer-WMF Hi, thank you very much for checking! Yes, this is an open request, I forgot to transclude earlier. Best regards as well, Crestfalling (talk/contribs) 05:30, 18 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Minguela is translated from Spanish Wikipedia. Before moving it live, I need to check sources because the original Spanish article mostly lacked inline citations. In particular, many population and location details should have citations. Rjjiii (talk) 05:20, 23 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your request, I'll send an email with next steps. RAdimer-WMF (talk) 22:17, 23 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Currently working on Baybayin and since the source is about the article's subject, having the entire book is beneficial. Can't find any libraries near me that sell this book; online market prices are too expensive. Elias 🦗🐜 [Chat, they chattin', they chat] 02:19, 14 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]
