SusunW, the article should be available through EBSCO in The Wikipedia Library: try copying the title into the new search bar at the top of this page. If that doesn't work, just email me and I'll send you the PDF. Best regards, Extraordinary Writ (talk) 21:16, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
For To Fly!. Looking for Chapter 6 "Daguerreotype to IMAX Screen: Multimedia and IMAX at the Smithsonian Institution", and if possible the chapter's footnotes.
@Magiciandude:Sent the ones I could easily find, which were all of the "Esperanza" ones, #3 for "Dejaría Todo", both of the "Corazon Partido" ones, and #1 and #2 for "Clavado en un Bar". DanCherek (talk) 22:10, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@DanCherek: Thanks! The article for "Clavado en un Bar" with Mario Tarradell's review is missing a line from the ProQuest article: "the CD's lead single, is a propulsive, pop-punk track guaranteed to induce..." Erick (talk) 00:18, 8 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I don't understand the question, or maybe I'm looking at a different ProQuest version than you? When I click on [1] I see an abstract that starts with "Suenos Liquidos recalls the pop-friendly sound..." and ends with "...acts languishing in obscurity." but doesn't contain the sentence you mentioned.

@Magiciandude: I sent you some of these, although I fear all I did was partially or entirely duplicative of DanCherek's work. Can you strike out the requests you no longer need, to clarify what part of your request is still open? John M Baker (talk) 01:08, 9 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
In the article punk rock, I found a source (rockandrollreport.com) whose reliability seems sketchy at best. My Google search indicates that I may be able to replace it with this Bloomsbury book, but of course, Google Books allows me to view only snippets of what I am requesting. Obviously, that is barely if at all enough to understand the context of the pages, so I would like to request chapters 1 and 2. It is more than enough, but should guarantee everything that I may be looking for.
@FreeMediaKid!: Another way to read the entire book is through the WP:TWL database called Berg Fashion Library. You would have to apply for access yourself. It doesn't allow saving or printing, so other people with access can't share the text with you. --Worldbruce (talk) 05:04, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I would have to think of a convincing argument for why I should get free access to its sources. The problem is that I rarely write about fashion. In fact, I doubt that I have ever edited anything related to fashion before. Imagine how confident I would feel if my reason for the application were to replace a single source inside a single article for verification purposes. The absolute best kind of reason that comes to mind is one where I may use one of its sources when I so happen to find a fashion-related claim that lacks a reliable source. I would find and verify such claims maybe twice or so a year. This may still not be convincing, but I think they would like it better that I tell them that than claim that I would be citing the publisher's works a lot, even if the latter does benefit a single article.

Stine, Whitney; Davis, Bette (1982). Mother Goddam: The Story of the Career of Bette Davis. London: W.H. Allen. ISBN978-0-352-31142-9. OCLC16600617.
For Margaret Herrick. This is a repost of Talk:Margaret Herrick#Bette Davis and Oscar revocation from July, which did not get a response. Herrick is generally credited with naming the Academy Award an "Oscar". However, Academy President Bette Davis said that the statue was called Oscar from her husband's middle name. Though later on, Davis ended up revoking this honor. The citation (given above) for that revocation is a book that looks to be Davis' biography, but it doesn't mention any page number, chapter or quote referencing this statement. Can someone who has access to this book provide the relevant details? Jay(talk)12:02, 22 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Jay: You can register for an Internet Archive account with a throwaway email if you wish. If not, I can send you screenshot of the pages that mention it. This is for the 1974 edition. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 18:11, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I have registered and logged in. However giving a Search gives "Sorry, there was an error with your search. The text may still be processing. Please try again." Can you tell me the page numbers if you have them? Jay(talk)19:23, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
