Finding a source

Tips for finding a source yourself
Main page: WP:Find your source
  • Send a request to the author(s) of research papers for a copy of their paper by email
  • Check on Google Books, or your local library or national library may be able to obtain it through an interlibrary loan or subscription
  • Search Google Scholar for archived copies of journals in institutional repositories
  • Check whether your alma mater's library offers electronic document delivery services for alumni—many do, for a small fee

Note that sites like LibGen and Sci-Hub offer direct, free access to a very large range of publications, but there are legal questions around their use and neither the Wikimedia Foundation nor the Wikipedia community endorses them.

Making a request
  • A request may be an open question or you may ask for a specific journal, article or work
  • All kinds of sources are possible here: newspapers, magazine article, databases, encyclopedias, court decisions, laws, books, etc.
  • We cannot perform full book scans requests due to copyright
  • You may contact research helpers directly or make a request on this page
  • To receive email without disclosing your email address publicly, configure your email in Special:Preferences
  • Provide as much detail as possible: a full citation with author, title, publisher, and date or identifiers like DOI, ISBN ISSN, PMID, etc.
  • Once a request has been fulfilled add the {{Resolved}} template.
  • Filled requests are archived.
  • Requests unfilled after three months will be archived

Fulfilling a request

  • Anyone may offer advice and fulfill requests.
  • Indicate which part or parts of the request is being handled so others do not duplicate your work.
  • Notify (mention) the requester using {{ping|REQUESTER_USERNAME}}
  • You can point to a pre-existing electronic document by giving its URL ( http://... ). You can share scans of pages or documents using a file-sharing service, provided it is legal, or by emailing the content to the requester.
  • You can email a link or plain text to a requester using the Special:EmailUser feature but for attachments, you need to ask them to mail you first so you can reply.

Copyright tips:

  • Respect copyrights and terms of services of any online services you use.
  • Share content in a limited manner that is targeted at as few individuals as possible to achieve a specific improvement on Wikipedia. All content is shared under a presumed non-commercial, educational, fair use purpose in order to conduct research about topics on Wikipedia and/or to improve Wikipedia content.
  • Share copies privately rather than with a publicly accessible link whenever possible. Copyrighted articles from print publications or copies obtained through online databases should not be uploaded for unrestricted distribution via open websites. Preferably, do not share login access codes for entire websites; rather, share only an individual copy of a resource.
  • Remember that you take on the individual risk when sharing content, and act in a way that is comfortable and safe for you. Individual editors are solely responsible for sharing copyrighted content and assume all legal risks.

New Zealand sources for Muriel Grace Widdowson

Hello. I'm looking for sources to improve my article on Muriel Grace Widdowson:

  • "Retirements". New Zealand Nursing Journal. 46 (1): 28. February 1953. ISSN 0028-8535.
  • "Obit". The Press. Christchurch, N.Z. 4 August 1989. p. 5. ISSN 0113-9762.
  • Pollard, B.; Pollard, J. (5 September 1989). "Grace Widdowson - the presence of Christchurch Hospital". Press (Christchurch, N.Z.). p. 22.

@Usernameunique: Wow. Thanks a bunch ;) --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 20:10, 29 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Found this one that may/may not be useful. It's about a stained glass window that Widdowson unvieled at a hospital where she worked at after her retirement:

The stain glassed window isn't as important, but the third one I'll leave open. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 20:03, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hawaiian Music and Musicians: An Illustrated History

This may be easier if it was done via a physical checking out and scanning rather than requesting pages to be scanned since I have no idea the specific page numbers. I need both editions since the later edition adds recent research. Please send me both editions' complete index and table of content for future inquires, and the pages for Lena Machado and the Ellis brothers: John and William. Please send User:Maile66 as well. Thanks so much.

music reviews on I'm Making Believe

Hello. I am looking for these two music sources for my draft on I'm Making Believe by Ella Fitzgerald and The Ink Spots that appear here on AllMusic:

  • (june?) 1944 review in Metronome: "Then the Spots before my eyes. It's the same old act for the Spots, and its quality is the nadir of everything"...
  • 1949 review in Melody Maker: "The cloying, sentimentalized tunes with their over-dramatized treatment; and the slow, seldom varying drag tempo, which always seems so exactly right for the number, whatever it is."...

Additionally, there was another review in Metronome magazine (December 1944): "Ella redeems the first side with her wonderful chorus..." I want to see if there's more than what I found on Google Books here.

Thank you. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 03:02, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@MrLinkinPark333: How confident are you that the years and magazines are correctly matched in the two bullet points above? Allmusic has them the other way around, Melody Maker review in 1949, and Metronome in 1944. I paged through the 12 issues of Metronome from 1949 without finding a review of "I'm Making Believe". For what it's worth, they briefly reviewed many other Ella Fitzgerald titles, and the no-holds-barred language is very much in line with their typical reviews from that era, so the quote probably isn't made up, it just isn't from 1949. Alas my library has a gap in their holdings from 1940 to 1948, so I can't check 1944 for you. --Worldbruce (talk) 06:06, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Worldbruce: I accidentally switched the magazines. Thanks for spotting it. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 13:14, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Juno Award for Artist of the Year nominees 1970-73

Hello. I'm look for the nominees for the Juno Award for Artist of the Year from 1970-73 for both Best Male and Female Vocalists. The award was named Top Male/Female Vocalist from 1970-71 and Male/Female Vocalist of the Year from 1972-73. Problem is, the Junos website does not have the nominees for these years and it's shown in the Wikipedia article as missing. I copied the 1971 nominees were from Juno Awards of 1971 but I'm not sure if they're right. I've been searching in databases and Google searching but coming up dry. If anyone could provide the names for Juno Award for Artist of the Year from 1970-73 for both Best Male and Female Vocalists, I'd be grateful to finally fill in this gap.

I'm no authority, but I think if that book was published by the US Army then it's automatically in the public domain as a governmental work. Take care! —SerialNumber54129...speculates
@GeeTeeBee: It's unlikely that any of the volunteers here will be able to supply what you want. For $5 the library will scan and email you a copy of up to five pages. The fee schedule is complicated, but pricing for larger orders is about $1 per page. (https://ahec.armywarcollege.edu/documents/FeeforServiceSchedule.pdf) Reproducing the whole volume might not be economical, but the cost of the pages related to the Dodge WC series might be worth it to you.
