Hi, I'm trying to check a Norwegian book related to the Wikipedia entry about JWs and child sex abuse. The book referenced is:
Ringnes, Hege Kristin (2009). "Individet i gruppen: en psykologisk tilnærming til det å være et Jehovas vitne". In Ringnes, Hege Kristin; Sødal, Helje Kringlebotn. Jehovas vitner — en flerfaglig studie (in Norwegian). Oslo: Universitetsforlaget. p. 101. ISBN 978-82-15-01453-1.
See footnote 2 and sentence preceding. "An independent 2009 study in Norway concluded that the rate of sexual abuse among Jehovah's Witnesses was similar to that in general society."
I can't speak Norwegian, and want to find out more information about this study - how was it conducted? How many people were sampled? Was it confined to Norway? Is the reference even legitimate?
TruthSeekerJC has already been informed at the teahouse (Wikipedia:Teahouse#Help editing - identifying unreliable sources) that the source in question—peer reviewed research published by a reputable academic publisher—is indeed legitimate. However, if other editors have more specific information about what the source says with respect to TruthSeekerJC's other questions, that would not be unwelcome.--Jeffro77 (talk) 12:01, 25 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Pajz: If I could have a digital photocopy / scan of the page in question - page 101 - that would help. From there I should be able to track down someone that knows Norwegian that can translate it. It's not just a question of the book source being reliable - it's a question of what the book actually says and if it actually says what has been claimed.

I'm wondering if anyone has a subscription to the British Newspaper Archive and would be willing to assist.
I'm writing the article Alfred Heaver; he was a property developer murdered in a most disturbing fashion by a mad relative at the start of August 1901. I'm looking for articles 1) descriptive of the inquest 2) that throw any light on Heaver as a person, such as an obituary and 3) that discuss the assassin Young's supposed motivation. (And not interested in articles on his will, of which there are many.)

I'm intending to write an article on the currently redlinked electrical/acoustic engineer Warren P. Mason. The following would be helpful;
The 117th Meeting of the Acoustical Society of America held a special memorial session of presentations about, or concerning Mason. One was the basis for the paper in IEEE Transactions above. I can see abstracts in the The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (vol. 85, iss. S1, May 1989) but the full papers are not there.

I don't think there is relevant content not in the linked article.

Nthep (talk) 18:09, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Well I came over missing points because of the timeline. Wendy Scurr is reported to be the first person to alarm the police about the incident. This is not mentioned in the Court-Protocol. Multiple Sources for this can be found in the net. The first alarm to the police should be a point in a shortened time line in the article which is missing until now. --Tom (talk) 18:31, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Tom, I don't know about administrative practices in Australia, but there are other countries where the original transcript is a transcript of the session. In order words, it may well be that the hearing for a given case starts on page 50 of the transcript simply because the court dealt with other matters before that. It also seems somewhat implausible here that someone would have cut off content relevant to this case, given that the document starts with the names of counsel appearing, which I have never seen to be located anywhere other than at the very beginning of a case transcript. That being said, transcripts are not normally published, so the possibilities for people here are very limited anyhow. Basically, the only way I could think of to resolve this is if a version of the transcript is available freely on the internet already or perhaps through some specialiced legal database. (It is not available through the academic edition of Westlaw Int'l materials. I checked that.) In the end, if you want to learn more about this, you may need to get in touch with the court directly (see also http://www.supremecourt.tas.gov.au/decisions/sentences: "For information about sentences prior to 2005 email the Supreme Court Library or telephone the Library on 6165 7446"). — Pajz (talk) 18:32, 13 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This is not what I meant. Anyway, as to this request: First, you want something that you likely already have. You seem to have some hunch that there might be pages missing, but as I said this is not at all obvious (since the original transcript might cover the entire session, not just one particular case). In fact, your hypothesis makes no sense to me, to be frank, because the public version of the transcript starts with a statement of "Appearances" and what is obviously an introduction to the case by the prosecution. It ends with the line "THE COURT ADJOURNED". Where could anything be "missing" here? In my view, it would defy all logic if there were material information on the case on, say, page 30. Why then would there be leading remarks on page 50? Why would the appearances be restated on page 50? I have never seen a court document where the appearances are stated somewhere in the middle of the transcript. Second, a "Full version" of the transcript would have at least 370 pages. Who is supposed to scan/copy that many pages? Third, you are requesting documents people ordinarily have to obtain from courts. Yes, occasionally, transcripts are nowadays available through legal databases. In some parts of the world, there are databases allowing people to retrieve such documents from the record electronically (e.g., PACER in the United States). However, this doesn't seem to be the case here (see the links to the court's website given above) and, more importantly, this is from a hearing that transpired more than 20 years ago, before electronic records would commonly be used. And even if it existed—courts generally provide such documents only for a fee. Fourth, this is a primary source we are talking about, whose use does conflict with Wikipedia policies in the first place. Why should people go to such great lengths to obtain a document that loses all value the moment somebody enforces existing policies? Meanwhile, you've been advised to get in touch with the court administration, which would require a minimum effort on your part, but which apparently you don't want to do. For all the foregoing reasons, I suggest to archive this request. Best, — Pajz (talk) 04:39, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I am looking for any pages about Tehree Gordon in this book:
Levett, Robin (2002). Jirrahlinga: The Story of an Australian Wildlife Refuge, Its Creator, Its Carers, and Its Inmates. Hudson Publishing. ISBN9780949873859. OCLC56122110.
I am looking primarily for her early life, education and career but any pages that mentions her would be helpful. Thanks!

Information from 'Of Dwarves and Men' in The Peoples of Middle-earth[edit]
{{resolved}}
I need the page number of the information that Durin II began a cooperation with the Men of the Vales of Anduin. It should be in The Peoples of Middle-earth, the section called 'Of Dwarves and Men'. (Please provide the citation information for your copy along with the page number - it should preferably be the 1996 edition, as that's what's used on the page already.)
Durin will be improved by this; the section on Durin II does not have this information, which is pretty much all we know about his reign.
--Nerd1a4i (talk) 23:13, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Nerd1a4i, hm, any further details about where this can be found? I imagine it will be hard to locate this bit of information for people unfamiliar with the work. I could probably skim through the chapter for a couple of minutes, but I can obviously not read the entire chapter, and I'm somewhat skeptical as to the odds of this approach proving successful ... — Pajz (talk) 16:22, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Pajz: Well, I've been doing more research, and I was just about to update this...this particular fact does not seem to exist. I was on Tolkien Gateway and found it, but there was no page number citation. Chronologically it would make sense for it to have been Durin II, but nowhere does it specifically name him, so this request should probably be closed as impossible. Sorry about that! Guess I need to be more careful when using Tolkien Gateway. --Nerd1a4i (talk) 16:24, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, thanks for letting us know! Best, — Pajz (talk) 16:36, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If anyone can access this database, I'd be interested in

which is here. It's for on-going work at Percy Glading, who is mentioned acc. GScholar ("We hear far less about Pollitt's bosom buddy and best man at his wedding, Percy Glading, imprisoned in 1938...")—if it's only a little bit about him, then just the relevant page(s) would be fine.

@Serial Number 54129: I have access to the first search hit in the link you provided, not the other two. I don't know if that link was only an example, or if you actually want those articles. —Bruce1eetalk 15:52, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Hello agian Bruce1ee :) ironically, it was the last two I wanted more—I think—I could be wrong—that the first one is "just" a book review, whereas the second and third "might" be articles :) Yes, I thought it would be complicated, it's an odd thing all round really. —SerialNumber54129 paranoia /cheap shit room 15:59, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Tintor2: American Soccer is available for me on GBooks based on the link you've provided. Any specific pages you're looking for or are you having accessibility issues with GBooks? I can see all pages mentioning Captain Tsubasa except for the result (which is the index). --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 19:27, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@MrLinkinPark333: Is there anything about the creation of the series or the character Tsubasa Oozora (another article I'm trying to expand)? If not, I think what the article needs more is about the animated adaptations of the series since I can't find anything.Tintor2 (talk) 20:35, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Tintor2: Based on what I found, some pages mention Tsubasa Oozora and some Captain Tsubasa. I sent all with an explanation of the pages. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 20:40, 30 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Tintor2, regarding #3: See above — "We cannot perform full book scans requests due to copyright". You can find the table of contents at http://www.ub.unibas.ch/tox/IDSBB/006132848/PDF. Feel free to request a specific chapter. (As a personal note, it would also seem somewhat implausible to me that one would need an entire multi-author volume on 13 widely diverse topics, such as the “Finnishness in three sports novels”, to expand the article on a Japanese manga series …) — Pajz (talk) 21:17, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Pajz: I wonder if there is Tsubasa material there considering it is not a novel.Tintor2 (talk) 22:09, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Tintor2, Google Books returns five mentions of "Tsubasa" in the book. I see excerpts for all five (hopefully you do, too) — so could you please review if these look promising? They are all from chapter 7 by Collins ("The Imperial Imperative: Sport in the Service of Japan"). — Pajz (talk) 04:34, 2 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have from a semi-reliable source the text of Thomas Bond (surgeon)'s newspaper obituary. I'd like the original please for verification,
Thomas Bond obit, Morning Star, 13 July 1901.
I need this for an article I am constructing on Railway surgery. I wish to confirm that Bond was surgeon to the Great Eastern and Great Western railways. He also has an obit in the Lancet which may possibly have the same information, and would be more authoritative,
Thomas Bond obit, The Lancet, vol. 1, p. 1721, 1901.
Spinningspark, that issue of The Lancet is out of copyright and available online. There are multiple papers named the Morning Star, where was the one you're looking for published? The Davenport Morning Star has an article (link) from 7 July. --Usernameunique (talk) 11:27, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The gbooks link to the Lancet is only giving me snippet view. I can't read the full text. I've struck the first one, my apologies, I had misread the citations. The obit was actually from The Times on a different date. I can get that one myself through my library membership. SpinningSpark 17:46, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
SpinningSpark, the Lancet obituary (which is at a different location in that volume) does not confirm the Great Eastern/Great Western connection, but the Times obituary does. It sounds like you don't need the Lancet and can get the Times yourself, but please advise if you need help. John M Baker (talk) 18:24, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, marking as resolved. SpinningSpark 18:38, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Spinningspark, it's probably out of copyright in the US, then, and still protected in the UK. If ScienceDirect gives a first page preview, you can also see The Lancet mention here. Upon reading it, however, I realize it is not the obituary you are looking for. Can you see the one here? If not, I can email it to you. The first one is quite short. Entitled "The Late Mr. Thomas Bond", the full text reads:『A POST MORTEM examination upon the body of the late Mr. Thomas Bond, whose death we recently chronicled, throws a light upon a tragedy that has much affected the medical profession. Microscopical examination of the prostate gland showed it to be not only enlarged but affected with scirrhus. This explains the agonising pain which the unfortunate patient experienced during the last three or four months of his life, pain which, in the end, upset the mental balance and terminated the valuable life of a highly respected confrère.』--Usernameunique (talk) 21:57, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I've got the Lancet obit now from your link. That's useful. SpinningSpark 22:34, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
As can be learned through a Google query within approximately three seconds, "Jebel Marra volcano: a link between the Nile Valley, the Sahara, and Central Africa" is the title of a chapter in Williams et al., The Sahara and the Nile, 1980, ISBN 90-6191-012-9, p. 305-37. — Pajz (talk) 13:54, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Jo-Jo Eumerus: It's a fairly long chapter to scan. The sections are:
Introduction
Geological Setting
Quaternary Deposits
The volcanic ash Piedmont between Das and Nyertete
The polygenic soils between Nyertete and Zalingei
The polygenic soils between Zlingei and Kebkabiya, and the diatomite deposit near Kebkabiya
The dissected ash deposited in and around the Deriba caldera, Jebel Marra
The red sands and peripheral dark looms of the Qoz Dango region in southern Darfur
The dark fluviatile Regina clays and associated soils between Ed Da'ein and the Bar el Arab
Discussion (one paragraph that basically suggests further study, doesn't specifically mention Deriba caldera)
Summary Geomorphic History of the Jebel Marra Region
Conclusion
Acknowledgements
References
The Deriba caldera is one of six localities studied. Would it be sufficient to copy section 3.4 (7 pages) and sections 5 through 8, or do you need the whole chapter? --Worldbruce (talk) 22:10, 6 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
"Title unknown: to do with welding of ancient gold". Goldsmiths Journal. September 1934.
This article might or might not be by Maryon. Referenced here, on page 23. Journal title might be "The National Association of Goldsmiths Journal" (seems to have switched to just "Goldsmiths Journal" in 1936).
Maryon, Herbert (February 1936). "Granular Work of the Ancient Goldsmiths". Goldsmiths Journal: 554–556.
Maryon, Herbert (April 1936). "Solders Used by the Ancient Goldsmiths". Goldsmiths Journal: 72–73.
Maryon, Herbert (June 1936). "Jewellery of 5,000 Years Ago". Goldsmiths Journal: 344–345.
The British Library may be the only place with these issues available. My library tried to ILL them to no avail, and I couldn't find them anywhere online; seems to be an obscure journal. Any help would be much appreciated!
yep, you got it. I suspect the 1934 article may not be by Maryon, as it's not on his CV that I recently found (the 1936 articles are on it), but it seems to be thematically related---maybe the inspiration for his articles two years later. I'd be much obliged if you were to go take a look, but please don't make a visit solely on my behalf! --Usernameunique (talk) 15:30, 3 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No probs Usernameunique, as I say, I've been putting it off...I've ordered the relevant volumes (I hope), but as they're a 48-hour request they won't be there till Saturday, and it's a 50/50 if I'm allowed out at the weekend ;) so might it have to wait til Monday, I'm afraid. —SerialNumber54129 paranoia /cheap sh*t room 15:47, 3 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Serial Number 54129, but I wanted them today! Just kidding of course; thank you very much for offering to go find yet more obscure volumes! If they're indeed the right volumes and you're able to photograph them, would you mind also photographing the covers/title pages? I could barely find reference to the journal online, so if possible would like to figure out what it is and get the correct bibliographic info (volume/issue etc). --Usernameunique (talk) 15:58, 3 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
The first likely refers to the monograph of the same name (368 pp., https://lccn.loc.gov/77376905), the second one is a journal article (as is clearly stated on the page you've linked to), which I will likely be able to scan on Monday or Tuesday (in case this request is still unfulfilled at that point). — Pajz (talk) 11:39, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
