Hello Rob, Thanks for your interest. In a first step, I use to

In a second step I use to
Here is an example of a Madagascar lepidoptera that I created earlier this week on Ancylometis_isophaula. If somehow possible, I try to add a short description of the species, like size, coloration and other remarkable features.
I also upload many pictures to wikimedia'. I have a special interest in moths from Madagascar - that I visited recently (November 2016). I took home some 4000 pictures of some 1000 species of moths that will still need to be identified also. Here's an example from some images that I uploaded.
I use to add images of the identified species to the respective species pages. more examples of Wikimedia-uploads of Tonton Bernardo
The different issues of Lambillionea use to contain more than one publication (mostly some 10-15, by different authors). As an example: Gozmány, 1965. Tineid Genera from Central Africa. — Lambillionea 64(): 2–8.
Issue Lambillionea 64 from 1965 may contain publications on :
I would only need the a.m. publications with pages given (they are all on moths) - and won't need the remaining articles from the other authors that may be found in the same issues. Still: if somebody has already scanned a complete issue (or pdf), I won't mind to receive it including the other publications.
But if somebody would scan them only for me it would be ok to limit to the respective article/page. Concerning the a.m. issue from 1965: Lambillionea 64: I would therefore 'only' need the 'pages 2-8'. All the remaining pages of the same issue are not really necessary for me.

@ KAVEBEAR: Don't mean to duplicate MrLinkinPark333's efforts, but I too have access to the 1979 edition and may be able to do some of the grunt work. It's an encyclopedia-style volume. There is no encyclopedia entry for Nani Alapai. From the index, this is the list of articles in which she's mentioned:
Typically she's mentioned in connection with a song she sang or someone she sang with. Machado's style is described as "reminiscent of Nani Alapai". The closest thing to an entry of her own is two sentences in the appendix (p. 417):
ALAPAI, NANI. One of the most popular female vocalists during the late 19th century. The first female singer for the Royal Hawaiian Band (1873-1912); recorded with William Ellis (1904-1905) on Victor.
If Wikipedia is correct, and she was born in December 1874, then obviously she wasn't singing for the band from 1873. The band had a long history and went through a couple name changes. Could the parenthetical years be referring to the era/incarnation of the band with which she sang? The one page she's mentioned on in Royal Hawaiian Band (p. 340) only muddies the waters:
During this period the band also featured female vocalists ... The first was the celebrated Nani Alapai, who made her debut in 1873 and continued til 1914 ...
1873 is again a physical impossibility, and the end date doesn't match the appendix.
There is no encyclopedia entry for Clark, nor is there an index entry for Henry N. Clark. There are index entries for Harry Clark and Henry K. Clark (6 pages total). Does this help you identify what you need? -- Worldbruce ( talk) 03:22, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
{{ resolved}} Could somebody possibly perform an index search of the 2012 edition for any biographical additions that may have been added to Nani Alapai as User:Worldbruce did above for the 1979 edition. If there is nothing new, no need to scan the pages. Thank you.

This may be difficult since I don't know the exact page numbers, so it would require flipping through a physical copy of the book. The book is "Die Marquesaner und ihre Kunst, Band III"; seen here. The first and second volumes are online but the third is not. The cover should look like this. The pages I would need access to would be the ones about commons:Category:Opferkopf Manuiotaa and the accompany descriptions and images associated with it; "Manuiotaa" and "Puamau" would be the key search terms to look for in the index or in image captions.
See Wikipedia:Reference desk/Archives/Humanities/2017 March 18#Karl von den Steinen and User talk:Pp.paul.4#Tiki for more clues as I look more into the exact page numbers. After looking at some results on worldcat, it may actually not be accessible in the states so let me know if this is highly impossible, so I can withdraw this.

This would be used in the creation of the article M-K TE70-4S, concerning a diesel locomotive. This is a conference paper, probably about 12 pages in length. The ASME id is 78-DGP-15. I believe it is available in conference proceedings titled "[Papers] contributed by the Diesel & Gas Engine Power Division of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers for presentation at the Energy Technology Conference & Exhibition, Houston, Texas, November 5-9, 1978." The publishing body is the "American Society of Mechanical Engineers., Diesel and Gas Engine Power Division." I have been unable to obtain these proceedings via Inter-Library Loan at my local library. Any library with significant holdings of ASME proceedings from this period may have what I'm looking for. ASME digitization only goes back to 1988, with some limited exceptions.
There's a similar-sounding set of proceedings for this conference for the "Petroleum Division" which do not contain this paper. Google Scholar turns up a citation to Mechanical Engineering, vol. 101, January 1979, page 87. This is merely the digest listing of the paper, which I've already consulted. The only library which I know for sure holds these proceedings is National Research Council (Canada): [7], but I expect there are others. I realize this is a hard ask, but I think I've gotten about as far as I can with my own resources, and the article (probably) can't be written without this paper.

{{ resolved}} Per a comment by BU Rob13 at Wikipedia talk:Good article nominations, I would like to request any pages concerning the Bic Cristal ball-point pen from Fletcher, Alan, ed. (2006). Phaidon Design Classics – Volume 2 (1. publ. ed.). London: Phaidon Press. ISBN 0-7148-4399-7.

This is for a GA review of Bic Cristal; neither I (the reviewer) nor Laurdecl (the article nominator) has access to this book, which is used for several claims in the article.

@ KAVEBEAR: Don't mean to duplicate MrLinkinPark333's efforts, but I too have access to the 1979 edition and may be able to do some of the grunt work. It's an encyclopedia-style volume. There is no encyclopedia entry for Nani Alapai. From the index, this is the list of articles in which she's mentioned:
Typically she's mentioned in connection with a song she sang or someone she sang with. Machado's style is described as "reminiscent of Nani Alapai". The closest thing to an entry of her own is two sentences in the appendix (p. 417):
ALAPAI, NANI. One of the most popular female vocalists during the late 19th century. The first female singer for the Royal Hawaiian Band (1873-1912); recorded with William Ellis (1904-1905) on Victor.
If Wikipedia is correct, and she was born in December 1874, then obviously she wasn't singing for the band from 1873. The band had a long history and went through a couple name changes. Could the parenthetical years be referring to the era/incarnation of the band with which she sang? The one page she's mentioned on in Royal Hawaiian Band (p. 340) only muddies the waters:
During this period the band also featured female vocalists ... The first was the celebrated Nani Alapai, who made her debut in 1873 and continued til 1914 ...
1873 is again a physical impossibility, and the end date doesn't match the appendix.
There is no encyclopedia entry for Clark, nor is there an index entry for Henry N. Clark. There are index entries for Harry Clark and Henry K. Clark (6 pages total). Does this help you identify what you need? -- Worldbruce ( talk) 03:22, 26 March 2017 (UTC)
{{ resolved}} Could somebody possibly perform an index search of the 2012 edition for any biographical additions that may have been added to Nani Alapai as User:Worldbruce did above for the 1979 edition. If there is nothing new, no need to scan the pages. Thank you.

This may be difficult since I don't know the exact page numbers, so it would require flipping through a physical copy of the book. The book is "Die Marquesaner und ihre Kunst, Band III"; seen here. The first and second volumes are online but the third is not. The cover should look like this. The pages I would need access to would be the ones about commons:Category:Opferkopf Manuiotaa and the accompany descriptions and images associated with it; "Manuiotaa" and "Puamau" would be the key search terms to look for in the index or in image captions.
See Wikipedia:Reference desk/Archives/Humanities/2017 March 18#Karl von den Steinen and User talk:Pp.paul.4#Tiki for more clues as I look more into the exact page numbers. After looking at some results on worldcat, it may actually not be accessible in the states so let me know if this is highly impossible, so I can withdraw this.

This would be used in the creation of the article M-K TE70-4S, concerning a diesel locomotive. This is a conference paper, probably about 12 pages in length. The ASME id is 78-DGP-15. I believe it is available in conference proceedings titled "[Papers] contributed by the Diesel & Gas Engine Power Division of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers for presentation at the Energy Technology Conference & Exhibition, Houston, Texas, November 5-9, 1978." The publishing body is the "American Society of Mechanical Engineers., Diesel and Gas Engine Power Division." I have been unable to obtain these proceedings via Inter-Library Loan at my local library. Any library with significant holdings of ASME proceedings from this period may have what I'm looking for. ASME digitization only goes back to 1988, with some limited exceptions.
There's a similar-sounding set of proceedings for this conference for the "Petroleum Division" which do not contain this paper. Google Scholar turns up a citation to Mechanical Engineering, vol. 101, January 1979, page 87. This is merely the digest listing of the paper, which I've already consulted. The only library which I know for sure holds these proceedings is National Research Council (Canada): [7], but I expect there are others. I realize this is a hard ask, but I think I've gotten about as far as I can with my own resources, and the article (probably) can't be written without this paper.
