A request at the Help Desk Wikipedia:Help_desk#In_WP_terms raised an issue of whether the language "Lord Curzon, who later succeeded as foreign secretary, wrote" was supported by the source or did the source support "Lord Curzon, a British cabinet member, wrote." The editor PLNR wrote: "Considering that at the time his view was a minority view, which was voted down, and later when he came into the position of foreign secretary, his view haven't effected the British policy in that regard. So basically it used to misleadingly imply that what he wrote had more significant impact that what it did." The language "Lord Curzon, who later succeeded as foreign secretary, wrote" is in the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine article and was added 29 November 2012. The cited reference was The Arabs page 174. The citation reference now is The Arabs pp. 172–175. Please look through pp. The Arabs 172–175 and revise the Lord Curzon sentence in the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine article to reflect a summary of that source.

Unfortunately, this book is out of print; while used sources are available, they are hard to have delivered (and expensive) when you live outside of Japan. Apparently, the editors at the Japanese Wikipedia are satisfied this source satisfies the statement that the perpetrator was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome, but I am told that is not good enough for the English Wikipedia. The source appears to be reliable and of high-quality, written by an investigative journalist and published by Kodansha, a major Japanese publisher. An editor of the English Wikipedia would have to verify for themselves the source.

It's only 12 pages long I believe, so I think any scanning or photocopying of multiple pages might be an infringement of copyright...? If so, I just need page numbers to support the statements referenced "[115]" in the following quotation from the article: the statements concern a) the Thanet Sand Formation forming the base of cliffs in the Reculver and Herne Bay area, and b) the highest cliffs there having a cap of London Clay.
Nearby Herne Bay is the type location for the Thanet Sand Formation, a fine-grained sand that can be clayey and glauconitic and is of Thanetian (late Paleocene) age.[114] It rests unconformably on the Chalk Group[114] and forms the base of the cliffs in the Reculver and Herne Bay area.[115] Above the Thanet Sand are the Upnor Formation, a medium sandstone,[116] and the sandy clays of the Harwich Formation at the Paleocene/Eocene boundary.[117] The highest cliffs, rising to a maximum height of about 115 feet (35 m) to the west of Reculver,[118] have a cap of London Clay,[115] a fine silty clay of Eocene age.[119]

Hi, I am working on improving the Italian invasion of France article. An editor (who is quickly developing a bad reputation) has claimed that the below source states the following "Italy's limited incursion into south-eastern France had been, despite initial setbacks, relatively successful from a military, strategic and political point of view." (pulled from the article, so not a direct quote although considering some of this editors comments it maybe).
Source: Zamagni, V (ed), Come Pedere la Pace e Vincere la Guerra, Il Mulino, Bologna, 1997
I do not have access to this source and from what I have found online, using google translate, the intro states that the book is an economic history of the 1940s and 1950s with six essays from six different economic historians. The editor has refused to provide any additional information, and considering the editors problems and the fact that the majority of historians disagree with what the source apparently states, this information needs to be verified.
The editor claims that the above information is on page 53. If anyone has access to this source, can they please clarify:

This is basically a request for any articles/pieces from what might be called "reference works" broadly defined on the topic of Soka Gakkai. By which I mean about SG itself, not about any particular members, leaders, etc. Such articles available to anyone who has one or more of the databank subscriptions in particular would be most welcome. There seems to be some significant problems of trying to shoehorn to much information into too few articles on the subject as is, and knowing what sort of spinout articles are reasonable and meet notability requirements would be extremely useful.

Google News Archive being useless, lo now these many, many months, is really painful. Regarding Minnesota Fats, a source I've come across writes that Wanderone actually sued Tevis and possibly Twentieth Century Fox, or vice versa, whereas most sources just state that a lawsuit was threatened. It says the "court battle made front page news across the nation for several weeks in 1962". I want the skinny on this lawsuit, if it existed, for the article. A newspaperarchive.com or similar search would be great, maybe pegging 1962 and using tevis wanderone as the search grist; a Lexis/Westlaw search would be great as well, especially if there's an opinion (though even if there was a lawsuit, it's not unlikely it never made it to the appellate level).-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 23:13, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

I'm working on an article for the pilot in my userspace, and apparently it was the subject of a report by the journal according to the San Francisco Chronicle. However, I can't for the life of me find any online archives of it, and I would like to examine the article for more specifics. I don't know the page title of the article in question, or, hell, even the specific issue it appears in. If anyone could identify and provide me with a scan of it, that would be much appreciated. I think Nicole Bilderback is featured on the cover, according to this list. – 23W ( talk · contribs) 03:29, 29 June 2014 (UTC) ISSN 1541-1931 LeadSongDog come howl! 06:41, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

(This SJM article by Frymer was the sole source of a widespread internet rumor that Abrahams converted to Catholicism, a falsehood that perennially gets repeatedly placed in these articles, even though this rumor has been refuted by Abrahams' official biographer.

A request at the Help Desk Wikipedia:Help_desk#In_WP_terms raised an issue of whether the language "Lord Curzon, who later succeeded as foreign secretary, wrote" was supported by the source or did the source support "Lord Curzon, a British cabinet member, wrote." The editor PLNR wrote: "Considering that at the time his view was a minority view, which was voted down, and later when he came into the position of foreign secretary, his view haven't effected the British policy in that regard. So basically it used to misleadingly imply that what he wrote had more significant impact that what it did." The language "Lord Curzon, who later succeeded as foreign secretary, wrote" is in the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine article and was added 29 November 2012. The cited reference was The Arabs page 174. The citation reference now is The Arabs pp. 172–175.

Hi there guys. I have no way here in Chile to access a book named "Geografía de El Salvador", published in 1986 by Dirección de Publicaciones, Ministerio de Cultura y Comunicaciones (of El Salvador). I know it is available in several university libraries, including that of Virginia, so I would like if any of you could find in page vii "Augusto Ramírez Camilo" and send me everything that goes with his name. I'd be really thankful. This is to improve El Puerto (Pichilemu), and possibly may result in the creation of Augusto Ramírez Olivares and Augusto Ramírez Camilo.

I'd be very grateful if someone would consult the following in connection with the article for Reculver:
It's only 12 pages long I believe, so I think any scanning or photocopying of multiple pages might be an infringement of copyright...? If so, I just need page numbers to support the statements referenced "[115]" in the following quotation from the article: the statements concern a) the Thanet Sand Formation forming the base of cliffs in the Reculver and Herne Bay area, and b) the highest cliffs there having a cap of London Clay.
Nearby Herne Bay is the type location for the Thanet Sand Formation, a fine-grained sand that can be clayey and glauconitic and is of Thanetian (late Paleocene) age.[114] It rests unconformably on the Chalk Group[114] and forms the base of the cliffs in the Reculver and Herne Bay area.[115] Above the Thanet Sand are the Upnor Formation, a medium sandstone,[116] and the sandy clays of the Harwich Formation at the Paleocene/Eocene boundary.[117] The highest cliffs, rising to a maximum height of about 115 feet (35 m) to the west of Reculver,[118] have a cap of London Clay,[115] a fine silty clay of Eocene age.[119]

Hi, I am working on improving the Italian invasion of France article. An editor (who is quickly developing a bad reputation) has claimed that the below source states the following "Italy's limited incursion into south-eastern France had been, despite initial setbacks, relatively successful from a military, strategic and political point of view." (pulled from the article, so not a direct quote although considering some of this editors comments it maybe).
Source: Zamagni, V (ed), Come Pedere la Pace e Vincere la Guerra, Il Mulino, Bologna, 1997
I do not have access to this source and from what I have found online, using google translate, the intro states that the book is an economic history of the 1940s and 1950s with six essays from six different economic historians. The editor has refused to provide any additional information, and considering the editors problems and the fact that the majority of historians disagree with what the source apparently states, this information needs to be verified.
The editor claims that the above information is on page 53. If anyone has access to this source, can they please clarify:

This is basically a request for any articles/pieces from what might be called "reference works" broadly defined on the topic of Soka Gakkai. By which I mean about SG itself, not about any particular members, leaders, etc. Such articles available to anyone who has one or more of the databank subscriptions in particular would be most welcome. There seems to be some significant problems of trying to shoehorn to much information into too few articles on the subject as is, and knowing what sort of spinout articles are reasonable and meet notability requirements would be extremely useful.

Google News Archive being useless, lo now these many, many months, is really painful. Regarding Minnesota Fats, a source I've come across writes that Wanderone actually sued Tevis and possibly Twentieth Century Fox, or vice versa, whereas most sources just state that a lawsuit was threatened. It says the "court battle made front page news across the nation for several weeks in 1962". I want the skinny on this lawsuit, if it existed, for the article. A newspaperarchive.com or similar search would be great, maybe pegging 1962 and using tevis wanderone as the search grist; a Lexis/Westlaw search would be great as well, especially if there's an opinion (though even if there was a lawsuit, it's not unlikely it never made it to the appellate level).-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 23:13, 23 May 2014 (UTC)
