I'm currently working on a diagram of Dicraeosaurus' skeleton. I believe that this paper has an illustration of the mounted skeleton, which will help me immensely. I'd also be willing to just have the picture of the mounted skeleton if that's more convenient. If anyone knows of an English translation, that would also be helpful.

Those were the easy ones to find; future searchers note that including the owner's name helps filter the advertisements out, however the annual 'yup we are selling toys for Christmas' articles still clog up the results. Kees08 (Talk) 15:54, 10 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

For Donna Gabaccia pending article. Though I have access to Jstor, none of these articles are available with the WP Library subscription. A Google search returns no other accessible links and I do not live in a place where there are public libraries. All of them come from the same journal and would be extremely helpful in developing the article.

Norris McWhirter, et al., The Guinness Book of World Records 1997, p. 149
For Alfred Worden's spaceflight record, I wanted to make sure this Worldcat entry matches the source above so I can expand the reference. Another Worldcat entry lists McWhirter as the second author and Young as the editor. Bonus points for scanning the relevant material at the beginning of the book (like ISBN, location, publisher, etc) so I don't have to rely on Worldcat.
@Kees08: The Internet Archive have what I think you want here. The author is listed as Norris McWhirter, but if you look inside the book, Mark C. Young is listed as the editor and McWhirter as the compiler (see the Introduction). I've sent you the relevant pages. If you want to look at the book yourself, you'll have to register first (email address and password required). —Bruce1eetalk 17:58, 19 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Aoba47: I was able to access this resource through my college resources (God bless them for that) and downloaded the PDF file which I can email you. However, there's also a copyright notice. Since I'm not familiar with this aspect of Wikipedia, could you read it and tell me if it's acceptable for me to send it to you since you're only using it for Wikipedia?

For Ariel 6, pages 106 to 108 would be needed. I could use pages 74 to 108 to expand every Ariel satellite article and the overall article (seven articles total), and a proper background could be written with pages 54 to 73. Pages 380 to ?? (Google preview doesn't have the full ToC, not sure where the Ariel 6 results end exactly) would help me expand the results of Ariel 5 and 6. I tried the Wikipedia Library but looks like new Cambridge University Press access is on hold.
Summary: pages 106 to 108 to expand one article, or pages 54 to 108 and 380 to ?? to expand seven articles a significant amount.
Hello. I'm looking for any newspaper sources that verify that Albert Murray (golfer) did die on June 7, 1974 and where as well. I've found some sources that talk about his funeral, but not date of death. While this and this have the same date, neither has place of death.
Thanks! MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 00:19, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@MrLinkinPark333: I found this. It doesn't give his date of death, but the article was published on Saturday June 22, 1974, and it says "Albert Murray, who died earlier this week at the age of 86 ...". Does "earlier this week" suggest he died between ~16 and 21 June? —Bruce1eetalk 07:29, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Bruce1ee: I happened to already cite that article. If that's the case, then there should be something to indicate place of death. I would assume Montreal but not 100% sure. That timeline would make sense as his funeral was on the 19th per a June 20th 1974 Fort Worth Star-Telegram article. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 16:53, 22 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Assuming that the funeral doesn't happen on the same day as his death, that narrows down his date of death to between ~16 to 18 of June. OhanaUnitedTalk page 03:35, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
