Greater Ethiopia : the evolution of a multiethnic society by Donald N Levine Chapter Amhara system[edit]
@Dawit S Gondaria: Are you sure this is the 1994 edition of the book? Your previous request for another chapter from the same book was for the 1974 edition. I added the author and ISBN to the citation and changed the year to 1974. Please correct me if I'm wrong. —Bruce1eetalk21:01, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hello @Bruce1ee: my sincere apology i get confused with all these editions. I thought there was just one book, but different time periods they were printed. I just became curious to find out the differences between the editions of the same chapter 8 Amhara system if there's any difference. The latest edition(2014) would be nice, i added the OCLC and the url. But if that's too much trouble any of the previous edition(2000, 1994) would be welcome.

Hi all, does anyone have access to this Times article? It may be useful for an article I am writing about the announcement of the Argentine surrender in the Falklands War. Many thanks - Dumelow (talk) 07:49, 13 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Here is hoping that I will find any information related to the phonology of a certain language, which in this case appears to be Norman and perhaps French. With that, I hope to expand my list in my sandbox with the aim of eventually creating a list of languages by number of phonemes.

HiGleb95, could you explain what "cat. nos. 110, 111, 112, 113" means? The reason I ask is that my library has this book, and I can either request to borrow the whole book or have them scan a specified range of pages (which is faster), so I'm wondering if pages 148–156 (inclusive) are all you need or if there's more involved?

For Buffalo, New York. If anyone has access to this book it would be greatly appreciated if I could see chapter 5. Right now I can't get to the library.
@Piotrus: I have this; email me for the PDF. In the future, [p]lease replace this subject line with a more meaningful description of the request.Umimmak (talk) 03:29, 17 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
For clarity, the only line about Martok is: The wars between the Federation and their allies and the Cardassians and the Dominion pictured in the latter series offer more opportunities for Worf, his brother Kurn, General Martok, and other Klingon characters to act out the Homeric code of the Klingon warrior. so I'm not sure how helpful this would be in an AFD discussion.

Reliable sources for Ethiopian musician Abinet Agonafir[edit]
I'm looking for reliable sources to improve, verify and expand article Abinet_Agonafir, Ethiopian musician. I found some on https://archive.org/search.php?query=abinet%20agonafir. But still is very limited. Sources about biography, accolades, national chart rankings or other relevant info would be most welcome.
For article Demographics of Afghanistan need a source Kandahar Newsletter, 10 August 1891, IOR L/P & S/7/63/1295: The population of the city of Qandahār was even counted three times, in 1305/1887 (Kandahar Newsletter, 7 October 1887, IOR L/P & S/7/51/789), 1309/1891 (Kandahar Newsletter, 10 August 1891, IOR L/P & S/7/63/1295), and 1315/1898 (Kandahar Newsletter, 7 January 1898, NAT Foreign Department, Secret F, February 1898, 1304). Such repetition after short intervals is an indicator of the poor quality of these early enumerations, which were conducted primarily by ḥākems (governors), qāżīs (judges), ʿolamāʾ, and mollās; Kakar, p. 182). Despite the amir’s efforts to achieve national coverage, many regions remained outside the scope of operations (Kabul Newsletter, 13 May, 1891, IOR L/P & S/7/63/299). Furthermore, as the only result that is still extant is that of the 1309/1891 census of Qandahār, the intense activity generated by ʿAbd-al-Raḥmān Khan’s policy contributed very little overall to the demographic history of Afghanistan. I wanted to use the results of this census.

For Talkin' Bear Mountain Picnic Massacre Blues - Bob Dylan based this song on a news report in the New York Herald Tribune (probably from 19 June 1961) about a planned Club le Douze Father's day boat excursion to Bear Mountain, on the Hudson Belle, that resulted in chaos and injuries. I don't know what the article title was, but would like to refer to it for the Wikipedia article.

Wikipedia doesn't 'endorse' them, yes. That's why I linked to the Wikipedia article, as the note you cited already itself does. The article itself links to the website, and what individual editors do with it is their own concern. I only suggest a possibility which is functionally identical to Jenhawk receiving the source from other means. Avilich (talk) 15:35, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings! I'm trying to get access to reliable sources for a Ethiopian folk music icon by the name of Bahru Kegne(1929-2000), there are 3 paywalled articles at the Dutch Newspaper which i would like to see > https://www.volkskrant.nl/tag/bahru-kegne, i'm looking to improve several articles List of musicians using Amharic vocals, as well as to create a page for Bahru Kegne, which will then be mentioned in a soon to be created music section in the culture section of Amhara people article. If there are other reliable sources about his biography and music, please share them.
@Dawit S Gondaria: I can see the full text if I click on the link and quickly hit the "escape" button before the paywall notice comes up. Give it a try; I can email them to you if that doesn't work.

I thought I could leave you alone for a while, but I found The Quest for Saint Camber unsourced, and couldn't scrape up anything on this 1980s fantasy book via Google. EXCEPT I found a list(32–33) of paper reviews for this book! So if they're archived, could I be emailed any of these? I assume they're decent sources for reviews, although I don't usually source fiction.

Ah, you actually sent me the abstract page which is available online. I need the print-only full-text version of that article from the paper journal. In a nutshell, I basically am looking for a scan or photographs of the print journal's article text. Seppi333 (Insert 2¢) 11:05, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Seppi333: I assume the document Bruce1ee sent you was about 300 words, with brief "objectives," "methods," and "results" sections and a one sentence conclusion? That's what I'm finding too. Importantly, when I search for this article within the journal on ScienceDirect, this article is categorized as a "conference abstract," and every other conference abstract I find is a similar length. I interpret this to mean that this is a written summary of what was originally an oral presentation; I have no idea whether the full version of that presentation was ever published, but if it was, this isn't it. Maybe try searching for other articles by these authors? —Compassionate727(T·C)17:35, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Bruce1ee: Yeah, and like I said, I'm not convinced the "full" article actually exists; "conference abstract" indicates to me that this is a shortened form of an oral presentation, not a paper, and when I search the four authors' names via Google Scholar, this abstract is my only result. It is certainly possible the full paper was published at a later date (researchers often make presentations concerning their research while still awaiting publication), but if that is the case, this abstract isn't going to help us find the long version. —Compassionate727(T·C)14:30, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This quote by Grandma Gatewood was added by an IP in 2009 with no citation. It has since appeared on many other web pages, presumably copied from Wikipedia. Is it a hoax? Any help tracking where the quote originated, if at all, otherwise it will have to be removed. -- GreenC00:36, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
GreenC, the earliest reference I found online is from 2010 (link). It attributes the excerpt to the Appalachian Trail Conservancy website, although it also parallels the Wikipedia article as it then appeared. (A relatively contemporaneous archived version of the ATC website, as linked from the 2010 reference, is more of a landing page than anything, and doesn't mention Gatewood.) Somewhat interestingly, in the comments section of the 2010 reference, there is a link to a Washington Post obit of the founder of Appalachian Outfitters; the comment was made the same day the obit was published, suggesting someone was just looking for places to publish the link, but it does suggest that Appalachian Outfitters and its founder were well-known entities.
In any event, if Gatewood actually said what the article claims she said, it seems likely that it may have been in some sort of trail-related publication, perhaps at the time of her death. You might try asking on the WhiteBlaze.net forum, which I understand to be the most active AT forum. Someone there may have a sense of where (if anywhere) the quotation may have been published. --Usernameunique (talk) 04:23, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pages listed in the reference are the one google books snippets give as mentioning Herenčić, they also say there are 3 more pages mentioning him so it'd be great if you could also share those with me. Also I'd appreciate if you'd share a page or two before those mentioning him where the context is required.
Doing... (probably on Friday), but I'll most likely have difficulty locating the other pages mentioning him on account of neither being a full-text search engine nor speaking the language. — Pajz (talk) 00:16, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I need access to this article called Sex is binary and immutable, on SpringerLink.
I’m merely using this to give due weight to a topic that may be controversial to some people so don’t assume I have some agenda, it’s gonna be on articles relating to sex and gender.
Umimmak you got a point there, I noticed that too. But, the source is written by someone who has a understanding on the topic.(it says the guy is a PHD student.)
Also this topic is still kind of debated in some areas so it’s best to at least give representation to certain views.CycoMa (talk) 03:03, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
