@Slightlymad: Sorry, the Amazon previews don't include those chapters. I gave the page numbers to narrow down the search for those who may have access to the books. —Bruce1eetalk11:05, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Slightlymad, thanks, appreciate the full citations. I may be able to help, but for legal reasons can only do so if you clearly state what exactly you need (be it a particular chapter, a particular page range, the pages listed in the index under a particular keyword, etc.). Also, if you are interested in the three chapters mentioned by Bruce1ee, the requested amount of pages (180) seems fairly high, at least too high for me. I would encourage you to use Google Books' and Amazon's previews to retrieve as many desired pages as possible (perhaps take screenshots). For instance, I can easily see more than half of the chapter from #3 using Google Books. — Pajz (talk) 21:57, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi all. I am missing authors for the following articles being used for Wings (Little Mix song). I would be really grateful if someone will be able to assist.
*"Film & Music: The F&M Playlist: Little Mix - Wings". The Guardian. 27 July 2012. p. 15.
"Girls have huge hit in the Mix: 1st listen". Sunday Mirror. 1 July 2012. p. 16.
"Agenda: Fifty Years of Bond Style; Matt Bomer; Lexpionage; Social networking; The Sonnets". The Independent. 8 July 2012. The write-up on Little Mix- Wings
Nightclubbing, Nexis gives no author for #2-#4 and attributes #1 to Michael Cragg. Doesn't necessarily mean that there wasn't any author in the print edition for the others, but most of these are very small summaries/recommendations, so it may also be that they were part of a larger section by someone. (Nexis being a text-based database, it wouldn't show the original layout.) — Pajz (talk) 17:09, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I believe the "Jagger & Woody" one is credited to Messrs. Simon Jagger and Chris Woody, two radio hosts/djs. Cheers, gnu5716:54, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It seems that Jocasta Jones regularly wrote the "Agenda" column for the Independent (here are her contributions: [1]). I was unable to confirm that she wrote the column in question, though; you'd need to check the original page. Cheers, gnu5700:53, 26 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you Genericusername57 the online versions of The Independent don't always provide the authors for some reason. I've striked The Guardian as they have e-mailed me back saying no author byline was given on purpose. Nightclubbing05:23, 9 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Correct. Many of the Wikipedia Library resources don't give us access to all their content. The Taylor & Francis access I find is particularly thin. —Bruce1eetalk14:25, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. Yeah, I know, I just always thought the JSTOR package would be fairly comprehensive. I recently received access to OUP Law which turned out to contain hardly anything of relevance (they've since changed the description, so at least that should now be transparent for future applicants). As to the article requested here, I've placed a hold on the volume. — Pajz (talk) 18:38, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

For an article on Maria Dorothea Derrier (1779-1832). Most of the sourcing indicates that little is known of her after 1810, but this abstract states that it provides "a chronological and comparative analysis focusing on three narratives: discovery, uncertainty and autopsy", which they apparently were able to provide because of the discovery of an aka, Karl Dürrge. Clearly a critical source, if the article is to be created.
I need a copy of this article [4], archived there on Wayback, but I can't read the whole thing because it says you need a subscription. They offer a free-ish one-month trial, but I can't make it work from the U.S. Can anybody help?
Article: Jack Lowden. I read and added the Sun article 7 years ago, and I need to review its details now.
3 Dec 1988, The Spectator Archive, archive.spectator.co.uk/issue/3rd-december-1988 containing " I much enjoyed Susan Hillmore's novella The Greenhouse (Collins/Harvill, £9.95) for its well-bedded flowery prose but I liked an equally ..."
The article seems not to be a full review, but merely Anthony Blond's entry in the Spectator's 'Books of the Year' feature, alongside the recommendations of other public intellectuals and literati. The full sentence about The Greenhouse is:
I much enjoyed Susan Hillmore's novella The Greenhouse (Collins/Harvill, £9.95) for its well-bedded flowery prose but I liked an equally properly written first novel, (which I also published), Marks of Weakness by Geraldine Jones (Anthony Blond/Quartet, £11.95) which only got one (good) review, from Isobel Quigly, who didn't like our jacket.
Blond goes on to say more about the Jones book and another by A. J. Ayer, but I doubt that the full text would be relevant to you. Cheers, gnu5723:27, 2 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I would like to request these additional sources to improve the article (The links here are mentions of reviews, not the reviews themselves):
The Independent: Praised the book as one of the "best books of 2000".
The Independent review (may be the same): quote: "Hillmore's writing is dense and dappled with colour and light--a novel of strange power."[6]
The Literary Review review: quote: "...Moving and poetic...The Greenhouse should be read for the beauty of its descriptions, its original vision, and its complete lack of vugarity, rare in a contemporary novel."[7]
Washington Times review: quote:"There is haunting beauty in this melancholy tale."[8]
A review by Geoffrey Bailey: quote: "the sad drama of a family lovingly watched over by the greenhouse"[9]

Im trying to contact him cause I want a copy from this Hollywood Reporter article. Do you know how can I find him or have access to this article?
The Hollywood Reporter team said they don't have it.
Thanks for your attention

I don't have a copy of the article/edition. The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts have the daily editions of The Hollywood Reporter for that period which is where I saw the information.

There are two additional articles that would be helpful:
"The Darwinian Cage: Evolutionary Psychology as Moral Science" by Richard Hamilton. It was published in Theory, Culture & Society, Vol 25, Issue 2, 2008. There is an link to an extract here.
"On the inappropriate use of the naturalistic fallacy in evolutionary psychology" by David Sloan Wilson, Eric Dietrich, and Anne B. Clark. It was published in Biology and Philosophy, November 2003, Volume 18, Issue 5, pp 669–681. There is a link to an extract here.
Because the article lists it as a source, but without any footnotes, so I want to check what parts of the article (if any) are based on this source. It might also be the only reliable source that exists for his date of death. Cordless Larry (talk) 13:18, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
{{resolved}} Thanks, Worldbruce. The entry from the 2016 that you sent me doesn't have his date of death, but that is verifiable from the extract in the link I gave above, so I think this resolves my request.

Pajz, I had never done an interlibrary loan before and another user helpfully instructed me how to do so after I made this post. Clearly I meant no inconvenience to anyone and it's regrettable you responded like that. Enwebb (talk) 16:18, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Enwebb, well, you could have simply said so ... Look, you asked for a copy from a book, I requested the book from my library, went to the holdings shelf, and was on my way to checking it out and scanning the requested pages when I looked at this page on my cell phone to confirm I got the right book, only to see that you've just "found a copy for request via interlibrary loan", which really seems like the most obvious way to find a copy (see the advise given at the very top of this page: "Check on Google Books, or your local library or national library may be able to obtain it through an interlibrary loan or subscription"). Since your comment did not indicate any awareness that perhaps it might not be ideal to request a resource here, have someone search for the material, and only later find out that in fact you already have access to it through other means, I felt it was appropriate to point this out (even if you find that "regrettable" for some reason). Had you written something along the lines of "Oh, sorry, forgot to check/only now seeing that I have access/..." (as others have done in the past -- because of course such things happen), I wouldn't have said a word. — Pajz (talk) 19:43, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Pajz, I placed a request. No answers for two days. I figured out a way to get the book myself, so I resolved the request. Apparently that's grounds for never coming here again :) I'm supposed to magically know that you were in the library? And preemptively apologize for taking someone's time when there was no indication as such when I closed the request as resolved? Maybe if you had been less sarcastic at first I would actually have felt bad for using your time unknowingly, but that's not the case anymore. Enwebb (talk) 19:54, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Of course you are expected to know this because this is how this page works, as explained at the top. You place a request -> people check their electronic access/go to libraries/borrow the book/place an ILL request etc. to obtain the material -> they send it to you. Since step two may take time, it is completely normal that it takes a few days until you hear back. By the way, I wasn't being sarcastic; it is simply a true (subjective) statement that it would have been preferable if you had checked that beforehand, per my comments above. Now, of course, I am saddened beyond belief that you "would actually have felt bad for using [my] time unknowingly, but that's not the case anymore". What a weird thing to say. Hopefully this thread gets archived soon ... — Pajz (talk) 21:20, 17 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
