#3 is available through Wikipedia Library using the Oxford References tab, but it really offers little beyond what the article already has [1]. Whoever has access to Informit should be able to access #2 (here). As for #1, it appears to be only accessible down under. Szmenderowiecki (talk) 09:48, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Evaluating the quality of protein from hemp seed (Cannabis sativa L.) products through the use of the protein digestibility-corrected amino acid score method[edit]
Has anyone got an access to the article below? I could find various links, but all of them seem to be behind a paywall.

@TrangaBellam: Where are you on this? I have access to this source, but without more information, it will take me a bit to sift through all the articles and figure out which one mentions him. Or I could just email the entire issue to S0091 and let him deal with figuring that out. —Compassionate727(T·C)12:51, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@S0091: Go ahead and send me an email. I'll send you the first page so that you can confirm that I have the correct magazine, and if I do, I'll send you the other 70 pages. Unfortunately, I only have photographic scans of the pages, so keyword searching is impossible; you'll probably need to skim, if not outright read, the entire issue. —Compassionate727(T·C)16:50, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Torrossa is kind of annoying; my library has a subscription but I have to physically be there in person (no proxy), and it doesn't let me download or save or print many of them: "Streaming only | NO download | NO Copy/paste | NO Printing", so I'm not really sure how people can get these to you. Umimmak (talk) 05:11, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Making printscreens/screenshots of these pages, or make photos on the phone if that is impossible? That could arguably violate the licence terms for your library, but there isn't much choice in this situation, particularly if you don't have much spare time to spend in the library. Szmenderowiecki (talk) 23:39, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Seems like it’s moot regardless, don’t have access to these individual works.
Mm. Let's try this: How many instances of "hydreuma" are there in each of these papers? If it's just one page, maybe that page or even just the surrounding block of text might work. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:18, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion of "Houlgate" and/or "Football Thesaurus" ranking system.
the article apparently has a quote from Holt Rast that says:
"The poll arrived at the strengths of the teams we had played in the regular season and the fact that we had defeated the Southwestern Conference Champs" Rast said. "We just grinned accepted it and said we will claim being #1."

For 99 Luftballons. The article states a special version that combined the German and English lyrics was played on the American Top 40, however I'm not able to find anything that shows such a version exists and I don't have access to this book so I can't easily verify it so I'm requesting this page be sent to me so I can verify that this was a unique edit of the song.
@Blaze Wolf:AuthorHouse is a self-publishing company, and Pete Battistini is not an established subject-matter expert, so the book is not a reliable source. Consequently, I've removed the statement from 99 Luftballons. If that ends the issue for you, please mark this request {{resolved}}. If not, you may leave the request open, but this service may not be able to supply the page for you, since we're geared towards providing reliable sources of the sort that volunteers can find in research libraries. --Worldbruce (talk) 07:51, 5 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Even an unreliable (in the Wikipedia sense) source can include information that can help lead a Wikipedia editor to a reliable source. In this case that might be a broadcast date, a catalogue number, a photograph of a record label, or even a citation to a reliable source.

1997 Press-Telegram (Long Beach, CA) article from NewsLibrary[edit]
Hello. I'm looking for this article for my draft on Brian Gimmillaro:
Pack, Susan (December 12, 1997). "Volleyball coach praised for intensity, compassion". Long Beach Press-Telegram.
I found a version online, but I want to be sure this is verified. Searching on NewsLibrary doesn't have a page number, so I require the page number as well if it's available. I don't mind a hard copy scan if that's easier.

I am looking for a review (or other coverage) of the manga Crossplay Love, known in German as Anziehend anders. As the manga was published in German starting in April 2022, I find it likely that such coverage might be published in Koneko #109 (Mar/Apr 2022) or issues just before/after that. I have previously contacted the publisher to ask whether they have covered the series, but they have not responded after two weeks.
For Crossplay Love.

Can anyone access pages 648-652 of Brown's "Christianization and religious conflict" in the 1998 version of the The Cambridge Ancient History XIII: The Late Empire, A.D. 337–425 please?[edit]

Well, it depends - is it only one sentence, or something like an entire discussion? If the former, it's probably not useful. If the latter, it could be very helpful. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 10:27, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Jo-Jo Eumerus, the page is viewable here. If you cannot view it, the discussion is limited to a single paragraph (though I have copied the following paragraph for context):
Sub-Saharan Africa: Northern Africa has shifted from a 'green Sahara' in the Early Holocene to a large desert today (information in this paragraph is from manning and Timpson, 2014; see also Section 4.12). The 'African Humid Period' (AHP) began around 12,000 BP, with an initial occupation by hunter-gatherers and massive growth in population density starting shortly after 11,000 BP. Pastoralists with domestic livestock appear around 8000–7500 BP. The population density decreased during 7600–6700 BP but rebounded in 6700–6300 BP, reaching a Holocene maximum. A major population followed during 6300–5200 BP at the end of the AHP.
Data from Lake Yoa in northern Chad show that increasing aridity began around 5600 BP, with windblown sand appearing by about 3700 BP and a true desert ecosystem by 2700 BP (Kröpelin et al., 2008). Annual rainfall was about 250 mm in 6000 BP, less than 150 mm by 4300 BP, and less than 50mm by 2700 BP. Brooks (2006, 2013) offers comments on the cultural consequences of greater aridity in the Sahara after 6000 BP.
There is also this on page 150:
Saharan Africa: Manning and Timpson (2014) investigate population trends for the Sahara in the Holocene. The Sahara was much wetter between 12,000–6000 BP than today. This is known as the African Humid Period (AHP). In the early Holocene the region was occupied by mobile foragers, and in the mid-Holocene by pastoralists with domesticated cattle. The demographic trends include slow population growth before the AHP, a large increase shortly after 11,000 BP, a decline between 7600–6700 BP, a recover during 6700–6300 BP, and a major collapse during 6300–5200 BP. The authors were unable to show a significant correlation between population and the available climate proxies, but argue that the synchronous nature of demographic change over a large geographic area indicates a causal role for climate.

The Highfield Cocoa and Coffee House is stated here as being mentioned in Pevsner. Presumably either the Sheffield City GuideorYorkshire West Riding: Sheffield and the South, though I am not overly familiar with the publication. I am working on an article for the building, does anybody have a copy of either of these books to check if it's mentioned? Thanks - Dumelow (talk) 14:22, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Dumelow: I'm sorry to report that Yorkshire West Riding: Sheffield and the South does not mention the Highfield Cocoa and Coffee House. Perhaps another volunteer will be able to check Sheffield City Guide. --Worldbruce (talk) 01:29, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for checking Worldbruce, much appreciated. I don't think it'll be much more than a passing mention anyway so no worries if not; I have more than enough for an article already - Dumelow (talk) 06:24, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Dumelow, it's on page 222. In case you can't access it, here's the paragraph: "Back up Hill Street to London Road, turn S, on the E side, to the Old Crown Inn, late C19 with blue and yellow moulded glazed terracotta on the ground floor and good etches glass. Opposite, on the W side, No. 136, the former Highfield Cocoa & Coffee House, 1877, by M.E. Hadfield & Son for Frederick T. Mappin. Large, two storeys in brick, quite plain with round-headed windows. It contained reading rooms, billiard room and a skittle alley at the back. Further along the W side, at the corner of Sharrow Lane, the Natwest Bank, part of a terrace of shops c. 1890 with ornate brickwork. Ground floor rebuilt in stone in 1909 with the Sheffield arms over the doors and pilasters with capitals in the form of carved heads at intervals along the fascia." --Usernameunique (talk) 09:18, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Doing... #1 (probably Monday) (Olympian, I don't think this is from 2019. 2019 seems to be the publication year of the digital edition. If you look at the records of the holding libraries linked from the OCLC entry linked in the request, all I checked gave 1998 as the publication year. This is also the one that I have access to. If you think your request is for something else, let me know. Thanks.) — Pajz (talk) 19:58, 5 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Olympian, I've sent you the detailed table of contents. If by chapter 1 you mean everything through the end of chapter 1.7, I'm afraid I'm unable to reproduce that many pages (160 pages is about twice the amount I'd typically be prepared to supply). If there's a smaller page range that may be helpful, feel free to amend this request accordingly. — Pajz (talk) 19:54, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks so much for sending those, @Pajz. Could you please send chapters 8.5 (pages 777–780), 8.2 (pages 721–740), 5.1 (pages 359–370), and as much of 6.2 (pages 449–528) as possible?

About 7 years ago, someone who is now inactive cited a sensitive statement in a BLP to page 90 of The Television Horrors of Dan Curtis: Dark Shadows, The Night Stalker and Other Productions, 1966-2006 (Jeff Thompson, 2009, McFarland Publishing). The subject of the BLP has since informed me that a) it's not true, and b) anyway, the book doesn't even say that. I've commented out the statement until such time as the book can be checked, but I'm loath to apply for McFarland access via the Wikipedia Library given that I only want to check one page of one book. Can anyone help? Thanks. DS (talk) 02:55, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
In the sense of, did I receive the specific document I requested, yes. In the sense of, did it resolve my issue, no. Thank you just the same. DS (talk) 06:14, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The request can be marked as resolved. Page 90 does make the sensitive statement in question, but a) unlike many of the other statements in that chapter, it is uncited, and b) it postdates the introduction of the sensitive statement to the article; thus, there's the possibility of citogenesis. Next I'm going to try newspaper archives from the 1990s. DS (talk) 15:37, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The Google books link doesn't have page previews for pages 36–42. I don't recall seeing this book on the open library or archive.org so if I'd greatly appreciate some assistance for the specific pages.

Doc Taxon Hmm, can I request a few more by any chance? It appears that page range doesn't include all the Darkness songs (I was going off of what's on the article currently). Maybe 36–50/60? I mainly need any that were recorded from 1977–78. If not I can make do. Thanks! – zmbro(talk) (cont)01:10, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Zmbro: I sent you this until 31. Dec. 1978. Have a look at it and let me know whether it's better or not. The little introduction is integrated, maybe helping. – Doc Taxon • Talk • 18:01, 13. Feb 2023 (UTC)
