Thanks for uploading Image:Pallas PS.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, — Edwin Stearns | Talk 21:50, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I would have been able to get what you wanted a month ago but not now. For more than 25 years I taught a biostatistics course for the Dept. of Psychiatry, and by virtue of that appointment had access to all CU's libraries. I took advantage of the library card too. Like Walter Alston of the Dodgers, I had a series of one-year contracts. But alas, I was not renewed on July 1. My library card is no longer operative. I wish I could have helped you.
If you or someone you know knows a Columbia student, that student can have access to the document, and transmit a copy to you. You probably know someone who knows someone who knows someone who is either a student or faculty member at Columbia. I imagine that by the time I have written to you, you will have solved your problem of access. Best wishes. Let me know if you succeeded. Iss246 ( talk) 12:27, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Hello Doc Taxon, I'd much appreciate any help you can offer! Let me know - thank you. Best, WikiJedits ( talk) 18:27, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
Thank for the message on my talk page. Yes, it is still open as far as I'm concerned although user:Edison was the primary objector to the article's statements on Jedlik. I see the section has acquired a new reference from Nature 53 1896 since I last looked. However, the insertion is from a now blocked user who was placing a lot of dubious Hungarian related material on Wikipedia. Are you able to obtain a copy of the Nature article? We need to verify that it does contain an article on Jedlik, and if so, that it supports the claim made. SpinningSpark 06:33, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
Hello, Doc Taxon, and thanks for your note on my talk page. I am not able to scan those articles for you, but you might ask for information at the San Diego Natural History Museum, http://www.sdnhm.org/about/directory.html . Or you could ask the San Diego Public Library directly, http://www.sandiego.gov/public-library/services/asksdpl.shtml . Good luck with your research! -- MelanieN ( talk) 13:12, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi, apologies about the delay - been busy in the past week. I do live in Manchester but I'm not a student at the University of Manchester. Although I'm a college student at a college in Manchester - the problem is that local students (from Greater Manchester colleges) are only allowed to just visit the library for reference (not borrow books). And even then, you have to sign up for access pass, which I am told is an unnecessary long winded process by my college librarian. Sorry, I couldn't be of more help - regards Stevo1000 ( talk) 16:37, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi. I found your listing at WP:REX and I'm hoping you can help me. I need a very specific piece of information (and, ideally, a quote and page number) from this book:
In previous editions of the book (in the 1970s and 1980s), Strieder did not accept Lotte Brand Philip's identification of a picture at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum as being Durer's portrait of his mother and therefore part of a diptych of his parents (see the wikilinked article for background). I need to confirm whether Strieder maintains the same position in the 2012 edition of the book—but it has only been released in German, so it's not very easy to find in the US.
I noticed that WP:REX has a link to de:WP:BIBA; would that be a good place to start? Any advice would be welcome. Maralia ( talk) 20:13, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi Books & Bytes recipients: The Wikipedia Library has been expanding rapidly and we need some help! We currently have 10 signups for free account access open and several more in the works... In order to help with those signups, distribute access codes, and manage accounts we'll need 2-3 more Account Coordinators.
It takes about an hour to get up and running and then only takes a couple hours per week, flexible depending upon your schedule and routine. If you're interested in helping out, please drop a note in the next week at my talk page or shoot me an email at: jorlowitzgmail.com.

Hi! You seem to be reverting my changes to Wikipedia entries and MediaWiki Commons items which involve logos of the Namecoin project. Please stop: the purple logo is incorrect and is being pushed by an outsider who goes by the name "Sudo" and "Sudoquai". This person is not an official contributor to the project and these logos have NOT been adopted by the Namecoin project. You can verify this for yourself by checking out Namecoin.org.
The only place this logo has been used is on unofficial social media accounts controlled by Sudo. These accounts have been publicly admonished by the Namecoin team. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Indolering ( talk • contribs) 12:37, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello Books & Bytes subscribers. There is a new Visual Editor reference feature in development called Citoid. It is designed to "auto-fill" references using a URL or DOI. We would really appreciate you testing whether TWL partners' references work in Citoid. Sharing your results will help the developers fix bugs and improve the system. If you have a few minutes, please visit the testing page for simple instructions on how to try this new tool. Regards, MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 18:47, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

I am afraid it has been sitting in my Sandkiste for a long time. If that were en:wiki I would have opened a sandbox on the article- transferred it over then invited other users to correct it. My written German is not strong enough to do a full copyedit but the facts are fine and referenced. So I have done the next best thing I have copied over the text- and added it in comment brackets on the article page. If you have time- please do use it to replace the stub. -- Clem Rutter ( talk) 17:12, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

Hello there.
I see that you offered your help with this request on the resource exchange. I was wondering which pages you could help the requester with.
The reason why I'm asking is that I can access all of the requested materials except for The History of the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry, 1939-45. However, it would require me to go to the library and scan the pages.
Please let me know which ones you can do, and I can cover the other ones except for Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry. Thanks. -- MrLinkinPark333 ( talk) 20:25, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

Regarding both your edits at Wikipedia:Requests for page importation and at User talk:Bay Staatsoper, you are basically barging in and telling well-informed people who gave correct answers that they are wrong and you are right and the matter is closed. I don't know if this person is a friend of yours, or you just decided to act as their proxy here for some other reason, but it comes across and imperious and dismissive, while also being incorrect on it's face because you clearly haven't taken the time to be sure you understand how these processes work here, now, on this project. Your OTRS evidence is not only irelevant but actully supports the reasons for issuing block, so making notifications about it won't change well-established policies like WP:ORGNAME and WP:ROLE, both of which I had already referenced and explained what the problem was, twice, before you came along and insisted you'd fixed everything when you haven't at all.
In short, you may think you are doing this person a favor but you are actually just muddying the waters. It's important that they understand these rules if they want to edit here, and they need to make their own request to be unblocked. Beeblebrox ( talk) 23:56, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
And your "help" in this matter has been uniformly unhelpful. Why you again crated the userpage I previously deleted, I can't imagine, except that you once again wanted to show how very right you are. There's no reason for it. Nobody, at any point in this entire affair, has expressed doubt that this account isn't exactly who they say they are, so offering your proof again and again is just meaningless noise. Since you seem determined to keep un-helping in this manner, I have opened a thread about your recent behavior here. Beeblebrox ( talk) 18:51, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Category:Soviet professional wrestlers requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz Read!

The precedent and current consensus is that government/official documentation such as the one you used to source a date of birth should not be used. This is for two reasons: first, there is no indication that the person in the document is the same person in the article. Second, documents such as these often contain very personal information such as a home address, phone number, etc. which (unless widely disseminated and/or easily found online) constitutes a violation of WP:OSPOL #1.
Including a DOB is often a very controversial move on BLPs, mainly due to the (sometimes unwritten) rules about proper sourcing, so I just wanted to let you know a bit more about why I removed what you felt was appropriate information. Primefac ( talk) 10:51, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi Doc, it's been a while since you fulfilled my resource request for Deutschlands Generale und Admirale about Konrad Haase. I wanted to ask if you might know about the image permissions for the book. Is there an appendix somewhere that lists the image sources? I would like to know when the image of Haase was taken, who holds the copyright, and if I could use it onwiki. I think the terms are life + 70.

Hello, Doc Taxon,
Thank you for creating Torsten Haß.
I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:
Thanks for the page! This was previously deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Torsten Haß. Currently, almost all refs are still retrieved from September 2021, has additional refs emerged allowing WP:GNG, WP:NAUTHOR, or other criteria of WP:NBIO to be passed? Thanks.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|VickKiang}}

VickKiang (talk) 08:34, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
Bibliographic records(non-SIGCOV) or non-independent reviews by Torsten himself. Other refs, e.g., 1, appear also to be trivial mentions (e.g., the one here is a staff listing). I would appreciate if you could list two or three of the best references not previously listed or discussed in the AfD (where the community found consensus that those sources were inadequate) showing a meeting of WP:GNG or WP:BASIC, or alternatively if other criteria of WP:NBIO is met, for instance, demonstrating that one of Torsten's books received multiple independent reliable in-depth reviews.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Torsten Haß requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Torsten Haß. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

I would have been able to get what you wanted a month ago but not now. For more than 25 years I taught a biostatistics course for the Dept. of Psychiatry, and by virtue of that appointment had access to all CU's libraries. I took advantage of the library card too. Like Walter Alston of the Dodgers, I had a series of one-year contracts. But alas, I was not renewed on July 1. My library card is no longer operative. I wish I could have helped you.
If you or someone you know knows a Columbia student, that student can have access to the document, and transmit a copy to you. You probably know someone who knows someone who knows someone who is either a student or faculty member at Columbia. I imagine that by the time I have written to you, you will have solved your problem of access. Best wishes. Let me know if you succeeded. Iss246 ( talk) 12:27, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Thank for the message on my talk page. Yes, it is still open as far as I'm concerned although user:Edison was the primary objector to the article's statements on Jedlik. I see the section has acquired a new reference from Nature 53 1896 since I last looked. However, the insertion is from a now blocked user who was placing a lot of dubious Hungarian related material on Wikipedia. Are you able to obtain a copy of the Nature article? We need to verify that it does contain an article on Jedlik, and if so, that it supports the claim made. SpinningSpark 06:33, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi, apologies about the delay - been busy in the past week. I do live in Manchester but I'm not a student at the University of Manchester. Although I'm a college student at a college in Manchester - the problem is that local students (from Greater Manchester colleges) are only allowed to just visit the library for reference (not borrow books).

You recently added a birth year to his article. Any editor can remove this as unsourced but I didn't. Do you have a reliable source for it?-- Canoe1967 ( talk) 16:47, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
Good news! You are approved for access to 80 million articles in 6500 publications through HighBeam Research.

Yes I got the email - many thanks. I thought I had already replied but clearly my mind is playing tricks on me. Very interesting and useful reading. Thanks very much for your help. Bencherlite Talk 17:46, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi. I found your listing at WP:REX and I'm hoping you can help me. I need a very specific piece of information (and, ideally, a quote and page number) from this book:
In previous editions of the book (in the 1970s and 1980s), Strieder did not accept Lotte Brand Philip's identification of a picture at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum as being Durer's portrait of his mother and therefore part of a diptych of his parents (see the wikilinked article for background). I need to confirm whether Strieder maintains the same position in the 2012 edition of the book—but it has only been released in German, so it's not very easy to find in the US.
I noticed that WP:REX has a link to de:WP:BIBA; would that be a good place to start? Any advice would be welcome. Maralia ( talk) 20:13, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi Books & Bytes recipients: The Wikipedia Library has been expanding rapidly and we need some help! We currently have 10 signups for free account access open and several more in the works... In order to help with those signups, distribute access codes, and manage accounts we'll need 2-3 more Account Coordinators.
It takes about an hour to get up and running and then only takes a couple hours per week, flexible depending upon your schedule and routine. If you're interested in helping out, please drop a note in the next week at my talk page or shoot me an email at: jorlowitzgmail.com. Thanks and cheers, Jake Ocaasi via MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 23:41, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi! You seem to be reverting my changes to Wikipedia entries and MediaWiki Commons items which involve logos of the Namecoin project. Please stop: the purple logo is incorrect and is being pushed by an outsider who goes by the name "Sudo" and "Sudoquai". This person is not an official contributor to the project and these logos have NOT been adopted by the Namecoin project. You can verify this for yourself by checking out Namecoin.org.
The only place this logo has been used is on unofficial social media accounts controlled by Sudo. These accounts have been publicly admonished by the Namecoin team. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Indolering ( talk • contribs) 12:37, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello Books & Bytes subscribers. There is a new Visual Editor reference feature in development called Citoid. It is designed to "auto-fill" references using a URL or DOI. We would really appreciate you testing whether TWL partners' references work in Citoid. Sharing your results will help the developers fix bugs and improve the system. If you have a few minutes, please visit the testing page for simple instructions on how to try this new tool. Regards, MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 18:47, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

I am afraid it has been sitting in my Sandkiste for a long time. If that were en:wiki I would have opened a sandbox on the article- transferred it over then invited other users to correct it. My written German is not strong enough to do a full copyedit but the facts are fine and referenced. So I have done the next best thing I have copied over the text- and added it in comment brackets on the article page. If you have time- please do use it to replace the stub. -- Clem Rutter ( talk) 17:12, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

Hello there.
I see that you offered your help with this request on the resource exchange. I was wondering which pages you could help the requester with.
The reason why I'm asking is that I can access all of the requested materials except for The History of the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry, 1939-45. However, it would require me to go to the library and scan the pages.
Please let me know which ones you can do, and I can cover the other ones except for Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry. Thanks. -- MrLinkinPark333 ( talk) 20:25, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

Regarding both your edits at Wikipedia:Requests for page importation and at User talk:Bay Staatsoper, you are basically barging in and telling well-informed people who gave correct answers that they are wrong and you are right and the matter is closed. I don't know if this person is a friend of yours, or you just decided to act as their proxy here for some other reason, but it comes across and imperious and dismissive, while also being incorrect on it's face because you clearly haven't taken the time to be sure you understand how these processes work here, now, on this project. Your OTRS evidence is not only irelevant but actully supports the reasons for issuing block, so making notifications about it won't change well-established policies like WP:ORGNAME and WP:ROLE, both of which I had already referenced and explained what the problem was, twice, before you came along and insisted you'd fixed everything when you haven't at all.
In short, you may think you are doing this person a favor but you are actually just muddying the waters. It's important that they understand these rules if they want to edit here, and they need to make their own request to be unblocked. Beeblebrox ( talk) 23:56, 15 December 2019 (UTC)
And your "help" in this matter has been uniformly unhelpful. Why you again crated the userpage I previously deleted, I can't imagine, except that you once again wanted to show how very right you are. There's no reason for it. Nobody, at any point in this entire affair, has expressed doubt that this account isn't exactly who they say they are, so offering your proof again and again is just meaningless noise. Since you seem determined to keep un-helping in this manner, I have opened a thread about your recent behavior here. Beeblebrox ( talk) 18:51, 20 December 2019 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Category:Soviet professional wrestlers requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz Read!

The precedent and current consensus is that government/official documentation such as the one you used to source a date of birth should not be used. This is for two reasons: first, there is no indication that the person in the document is the same person in the article. Second, documents such as these often contain very personal information such as a home address, phone number, etc. which (unless widely disseminated and/or easily found online) constitutes a violation of WP:OSPOL #1.
Including a DOB is often a very controversial move on BLPs, mainly due to the (sometimes unwritten) rules about proper sourcing, so I just wanted to let you know a bit more about why I removed what you felt was appropriate information. Primefac ( talk) 10:51, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Doc Taxon. I'd like to personally thank you for fulfilling the request about Adrienne Boulvin's book. I searched the pages you sent me, and, as a bonus, discovered another variant of The Children with the Golden Locks (a Georgian tale of type ATU 707). KHR FolkMyth ( talk) 00:29, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi Doc, it's been a while since you fulfilled my resource request for Deutschlands Generale und Admirale about Konrad Haase. I wanted to ask if you might know about the image permissions for the book. Is there an appendix somewhere that lists the image sources? I would like to know when the image of Haase was taken, who holds the copyright, and if I could use it onwiki. I think the terms are life + 70. I have tried to search the Bundesarchiv, but did not find anything online. Toadspike ( talk) 14:30, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Doc Taxon,
Thank you for creating Torsten Haß.
I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:
Thanks for the page! This was previously deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Torsten Haß. Currently, almost all refs are still retrieved from September 2021, has additional refs emerged allowing WP:GNG, WP:NAUTHOR, or other criteria of WP:NBIO to be passed? Thanks.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|VickKiang}}
. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~
. For broader editing help, please visit the
Teahouse.

Bibliographic records(non-SIGCOV) or non-independent reviews by Torsten himself. Other refs, e.g., 1, appear also to be trivial mentions (e.g., the one here is a staff listing). I would appreciate if you could list two or three of the best references not previously listed or discussed in the AfD (where the community found consensus that those sources were inadequate) showing a meeting of WP:GNG or WP:BASIC, or alternatively if other criteria of WP:NBIO is met, for instance, demonstrating that one of Torsten's books received multiple independent reliable in-depth reviews.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Torsten Haß requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Torsten Haß. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Hi Doc Taxon. I remember you showed me what was said of Fritz Neumayr in the book Legenden in Weiß und Blau. 100 Jahre Fußballgeschichte eines Münchner Traditionsvereines - do you think you could also let me know what is said of Fritz Sommer and Otto Oeldenberger (if they are covered)? I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks, BeanieFan11 ( talk) 19:00, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
