Titles of jazz articles
Looking to resolve "citation lacking title" errors for the Wikiproject Jazz Cleanup Listing.
1) Title of article from journal Tylko Rock, October 1992, p.17, by Wiesław Weiss for Apostrophe (')
2) Title of article from journal Jazz Education Journal or Jazz Educator's Journal, vol 39, page xxxii, 2007, published by International Association for Jazz Education for
Berkeley Jazz Festival
3) Title of article from journal Jazz Education Journal, or Jazz Educator's Journal, vol 39, number 1–3, 98, 105, 2006, published by International Association for Jazz Education for
California Jazz Conservatory
References to Jazz Education Journal failed verification. They have been removed from the respective articles and struck above. In the case of
Berkeley Jazz Festival, there was nothing relevant in any of the six issues of volume 39.
Jazzschool is mentioned in issues 1 and 3 of volume 39, but only in a directory listing of International Association for Jazz Education associate members, which doesn't support any of the content where cited. --

Depending on where the book is stored, it may take a few days for the library to provide it. Also, while I am frequently there, neither am I there every day nor do I always have the time to scan material for other people (particularly if, like this week, I have already made 180 scans to fill other requests on this page).

This was previously requested in 2015, to no avail, but we have several new contributors since then, so I'm going to try again. I'm looking for a copy of the
Commodity Futures Trading Commission 1976 report from its Advisory Committee on Commodity Futures Trading Professionals, also known as the Martin Committee. This was reprinted in full in CCH Commodity Futures Law Reports, Special Edition No. 29, Part II (Aug. 20, 1976). I would be happy with either the original report or the CCH reprint. The report's summary was printed in CCH Commodity Futures Law Reports ¶ 20,197 (Aug. 20, 1976); I already have the summary and am not looking for that. This is for
commodity pool operator and possibly

Winged Blades of Godric, are you aware that printed books do not typically come with either a "Ctrl" or an "F" key? —
Pajz (

Serial Number 54129, well, the point of an index is generally not to give you the page number of every occurrence of a given word, but to give you the page numbers of where a given concept is discussed. Which will typically contain pages where the word does not occur, and will omit pages where the term is just mentioned in passing but not discussed. That is why I, personally, consider "Please check the index for ..., and if it's not too much, could you provide the pages listed under that keyword" a sensible request, but not "I need all pages concerned with the word ...". Also, I generally find requests for only the pages that mention a particular term a bit confusing. If page 5 ends with "The Namasudra is", I suppose the requesting user won't be happy with page 5 only. From the point of view of the person trying to fill the request, this means that either you have to read the page or send a copy of, say, pages 3-7 (I usually go with the latter as the former is even more time-consuming). However, that turns a request for 26 pages into a way more comprehensive task. And that is in addition to the issue that you won't, even with the index, be able to identify all the requested pages in the first place. So if my understanding of the request is correct, I can only reiterate that I find it enormously difficult to process, and I believe it is sensible that the requesting user has apparently chosen to check the volume by themselves. —

Winged Blades of Godric: Only six WorldCat libraries have the 2011 2nd edition
OCLC774901805 (I assume your 2004 is a typo, the only other edition was the 1997 1st edition).
Bellezzasolo says they have access to the Bodliean Library, so you might try them, but scanning 167 pages is a big ask. If you're going to use that much of the work, this might be a case where it makes sense to scrape together the $20-$28 to buy the copy on
AbeBooks.
If you can't get any of the source any other way, I have the first edition, which seems to be the same as the 2nd except lacking the postscript.

@
Gazal world: That might help - I am not familiar with the Am Nat Biography. The thing about Freedom on My Mind is that source documents (in some capacity) are provided within the volume. I came across a statement in the Encyclopedia of Virginia - an official publication of the Virginia State Archives found
here that James Armistead Lafayette died in Baltimore on a specific date, the Encyclopedia citing Rev War pension records but not providing any text to support October 9, 1830. And then there's an article published by the US Army stating he died in Virginia with no reference and then the death date/year is all over the place online but it would really help to see some actual sources/references. He either was born in 1748 or 1760 but the birthdate doesn't necessarily bother me. He lived much of his life as a person held in bondage so records are not the best BUT he was a spy for the Americans during the Revolutionary War and helped turn the tide for the Colonials and was finally freed by an act of the Virginia Assembly in 1787. This man was a hero and the truthful verifiable year of his death (maybe even the date?!?) at least deserves to be known, never mind the unknown burial place in Baltimore.... Ok, climbing down off of my soapbox for now. Thanks for whatever you can do.

Thank you - got it. Oddly, even though it agrees with the Virginia State Encyclopedia that Armistead Lafayette died on October 9, 1830 ANB doesn't give a source for the death place but then gives the death place as being in New Kent County, VA...

Thanks so much
Pajz for the info! However, now it seems there was a problem with my original request. Somewhere I got the impression that the page range of 154-155 was given as a source for JAL's birth & death dates but Armistead Lafayette isn't mentioned at all in those pages so apparently the cite I quoted from was in error. Is it at all possible for you to search for "James Armistead" & "James Armistead Lafayette" in your edition and see if you get any results? Also the info I posted above was from the 1st Edition, the pages you found are from the 2nd Edition - maybe JAL is in there just on a different set of pages... So frustrating that there is so much information on this man that cannot be verified.
Shearonink (
talk) 20:12, 26 September 2018 (UTC)reply
Shearonink, the name is not mentioned in the index. Marquis de Lafayette does appear in the index, referring to page 113, where "James Armistead" is also mentioned in passing. I could send you that part but it does not contain a date of birth/death. I also think that the information you're looking for is nowhere to be found in this edition. If you look at the table of contents of the first edition (
here), the requested page range falls in a section titled "VISUAL SOURCES: Freedom's Fight", which contains a sub-section titled "Jean-Baptiste Le Paon, General Lafayette at Yorktown, Attended by James Armistead, c. 1783". That section has apparently been transformed into one titled "DOCUMENT PROJECT: Black Freedom Fighters", which still contains some of the names from the old one, but nothing about Lafayette/Armistead. These short texts include biographical information; my guess is that they were also contained in the first edition, but apparently the authors have left out some of the individuals. So I guess you have to stick to the first edition. (It was not clear to me from your request, which gives the ISBN and year of publication of the second edition, that the page range is actually based on the first edition.) I ordered a copy of the section from the first edition earlier today and, having just received it, sent it to you. —

Not looking for any source in particular, just a general question. Does anyone have access to old Japanese gaming magazines from the 1980s-2000s such as Famitsu, BEEP!, Gamest, Dorimaga, Dengeki PlayStation, etc.? There are a few scanned issues online, I know, I'm looking for someone that has access to most of the library. Thank you
TarkusABtalk 18:33, 21 September 2018 (UTC)reply
@
TarkusAB: I have looked into Famitsu in the past and WorldCat seems to give the closest to a good answer to this query:
National Diet Library in Tokyo. An interlibrary loan may not be possible so the only guaranteed way to access the entire (or most of) Famitsu's library would be to visit the physical library itself. I wouldn't be surprised if it were microfiched, though, so it might be worth making a direct request via a local university library (best option), or a public library (second best option), or writing from your own email address (final option).
In the meanwhile, you may be interested in looking through
the Non-English section of WikiProject Video games's Reference Library (including
Dengeki PlayStation, several versions of
Famitsu,
etc.). As of 2016 (the last time I made significant efforts in that area) Wikipedia's Reference Library is the largest such collection available via internet. I suspect there would be more available if more wikipedians were involved but I think the time, single-mindedness, and difficulty of entering WP:VG Reference Library contents halts some people. -

@
Thibbs: Thanks for your insight. I am aware of the National Diet Library and agree it's probably the best source, and yea I think the only way is to actually go there. Another source which I have looked into is the
Game Preservation Society. I think they have lots of magazines, but I don't know the extent of their collection. I'm hoping to pay them a visit later this year to see.
I agree the Reference Library is probably the most comprehensive database of available magazines. I've spoken to
Frank Cifaldi and told him about the project but he didn't seem that intrigued. Both him, the GPS, and most other video game history research groups are more concerned with ripping ROMs off rare cartridges (and rightfully so, as they are dying). There are a couple of consistent contributors to RetroCDN that seem to have huge libraries, Black Squirrel and Akane or whatever their name is. I've been thinking about asking them where they're getting their collection from and if they take scan requests.
TarkusABtalk 14:10, 24 September 2018 (UTC)reply
@
TarkusAB: I'm surprised Frank Cifaldi wouldn't be more into it. I know he has a private collection of English language magazines at
Video Game History Foundation and I would have thought it would be right up his alley. Some others I emailed ages ago (i.e. in 2010) are Kevin Gifford (who used to write the MagWeaseling column for GameSetWatch) and Chris Covell. Both of them collect magazines and may be of some limited assistance. I hear Matthew Callis from superfamicom.org also has a sizeable collection of Japanese SNES magazines, but I haven't contacted him directly. I'm sure you know there are some murky areas of the internet where you can find info here and there... JimmyBlackwing did a good summary of some of these in a 2014 article for the WP:VG Newsletter (
here). There's also some more recent material on archive.org from Patreon's Marktrade donations to the "Game and Gamer Magazine" room. Ultimately the most straightforward option I've found in the past is to use a Japanese index online to pinpoint citations for a topic, and then just buy the corresponding magazines from Japan. It's frustratingly slow and can be rather expensive, but sometimes there is just no reasonable alternative.
Let me know if you do manage to track down a good source for Japanese material like this. There are a few issues of Famitsu I have been looking for on-and-off for years. -

Regarding Frank, he did offer to scan any articles that people need for research, so i put myself down as a middle man contact in the library. I think he was concerned about the volume of requests, but I've only emailed him for one request across like 4 months. He only has American magazines through 1999. He told me he was the one that uploaded all the GameFan articles to archive.org a few months back.

Serial Number 54129, well, the point of an index is generally not to give you the page number of every occurrence of a given word, but to give you the page numbers of where a given concept is discussed. Which will typically contain pages where the word does not occur, and will omit pages where the term is just mentioned in passing but not discussed. That is why I, personally, consider "Please check the index for ..., and if it's not too much, could you provide the pages listed under that keyword" a sensible request, but not "I need all pages concerned with the word ...". Also, I generally find requests for only the pages that mention a particular term a bit confusing. If page 5 ends with "The Namasudra is", I suppose the requesting user won't be happy with page 5 only. From the point of view of the person trying to fill the request, this means that either you have to read the page or send a copy of, say, pages 3-7 (I usually go with the latter as the former is even more time-consuming). However, that turns a request for 26 pages into a way more comprehensive task. And that is in addition to the issue that you won't, even with the index, be able to identify all the requested pages in the first place.

Winged Blades of Godric: Only six WorldCat libraries have the 2011 2nd edition
OCLC774901805 (I assume your 2004 is a typo, the only other edition was the 1997 1st edition).
Bellezzasolo says they have access to the Bodliean Library, so you might try them, but scanning 167 pages is a big ask. If you're going to use that much of the work, this might be a case where it makes sense to scrape together the $20-$28 to buy the copy on
AbeBooks.
If you can't get any of the source any other way, I have the first edition, which seems to be the same as the 2nd except lacking the postscript. My personal scanning limit for this work would be one chapter, plus end notes, bibliography, and if necessary, index. If that would help you at all, let me know. --

Freedom on My Mind, Volume 1: A History of African Americans, with Documents - need info on American Rev War spy
James Armistead Lafayette
White, Deborah Gray; Bay, Mia; Martin, Jr., Waldo E. (2016). Freedom on My Mind, Volume 1: A History of African Americans, with Documents. pp. 154–155.
ISBN978-1-319-06052-7.
Doesn't anyone have access to this book? It would really be helpful to have those pages at hand so I can nail down the facts of this man's birth & death. There are two different years cited for his birth and two different years cited for his death AND two different states that he is said to have died in... if possible I'd like to clear up at least some of the confusion.

Gazal world (

@
Gazal world: That might help - I am not familiar with the Am Nat Biography. The thing about Freedom on My Mind is that source documents (in some capacity) are provided within the volume. I came across a statement in the Encyclopedia of Virginia - an official publication of the Virginia State Archives found
here that James Armistead Lafayette died in Baltimore on a specific date, the Encyclopedia citing Rev War pension records but not providing any text to support October 9, 1830. And then there's an article published by the US Army stating he died in Virginia with no reference and then the death date/year is all over the place online but it would really help to see some actual sources/references. He either was born in 1748 or 1760 but the birthdate doesn't necessarily bother me. He lived much of his life as a person held in bondage so records are not the best BUT he was a spy for the Americans during the Revolutionary War and helped turn the tide for the Colonials and was finally freed by an act of the Virginia Assembly in 1787. This man was a hero and the truthful verifiable year of his death (maybe even the date?!?) at least deserves to be known, never mind the unknown burial place in Baltimore.... Ok, climbing down off of my soapbox for now. Thanks for whatever you can do.

Thanks so much
Pajz for the info! However, now it seems there was a problem with my original request. Somewhere I got the impression that the page range of 154-155 was given as a source for JAL's birth & death dates but Armistead Lafayette isn't mentioned at all in those pages so apparently the cite I quoted from was in error. Is it at all possible for you to search for "James Armistead" & "James Armistead Lafayette" in your edition and see if you get any results? Also the info I posted above was from the 1st Edition, the pages you found are from the 2nd Edition - maybe JAL is in there just on a different set of pages... So frustrating that there is so much information on this man that cannot be verified.
Shearonink (
talk) 20:12, 26 September 2018 (UTC)reply
Shearonink, the name is not mentioned in the index. Marquis de Lafayette does appear in the index, referring to page 113, where "James Armistead" is also mentioned in passing. I could send you that part but it does not contain a date of birth/death. I also think that the information you're looking for is nowhere to be found in this edition. If you look at the table of contents of the first edition (
here), the requested page range falls in a section titled "VISUAL SOURCES: Freedom's Fight", which contains a sub-section titled "Jean-Baptiste Le Paon, General Lafayette at Yorktown, Attended by James Armistead, c. 1783". That section has apparently been transformed into one titled "DOCUMENT PROJECT: Black Freedom Fighters", which still contains some of the names from the old one, but nothing about Lafayette/Armistead. These short texts include biographical information; my guess is that they were also contained in the first edition, but apparently the authors have left out some of the individuals. So I guess you have to stick to the first edition. (It was not clear to me from your request, which gives the ISBN and year of publication of the second edition, that the page range is actually based on the first edition.) I ordered a copy of the section from the first edition earlier today and, having just received it, sent it to you. —

Not looking for any source in particular, just a general question. Does anyone have access to old Japanese gaming magazines from the 1980s-2000s such as Famitsu, BEEP!, Gamest, Dorimaga, Dengeki PlayStation, etc.? There are a few scanned issues online, I know, I'm looking for someone that has access to most of the library. Thank you
TarkusABtalk 18:33, 21 September 2018 (UTC)reply
@
TarkusAB: I have looked into Famitsu in the past and WorldCat seems to give the closest to a good answer to this query:
National Diet Library in Tokyo. An interlibrary loan may not be possible so the only guaranteed way to access the entire (or most of) Famitsu's library would be to visit the physical library itself. I wouldn't be surprised if it were microfiched, though, so it might be worth making a direct request via a local university library (best option), or a public library (second best option), or writing from your own email address (final option).
In the meanwhile, you may be interested in looking through
the Non-English section of WikiProject Video games's Reference Library (including
Dengeki PlayStation, several versions of
Famitsu,
etc.). As of 2016 (the last time I made significant efforts in that area) Wikipedia's Reference Library is the largest such collection available via internet. I suspect there would be more available if more wikipedians were involved but I think the time, single-mindedness, and difficulty of entering WP:VG Reference Library contents halts some people. -

@
Thibbs: Thanks for your insight. I am aware of the National Diet Library and agree it's probably the best source, and yea I think the only way is to actually go there. Another source which I have looked into is the
Game Preservation Society. I think they have lots of magazines, but I don't know the extent of their collection. I'm hoping to pay them a visit later this year to see.
I agree the Reference Library is probably the most comprehensive database of available magazines. I've spoken to
Frank Cifaldi and told him about the project but he didn't seem that intrigued. Both him, the GPS, and most other video game history research groups are more concerned with ripping ROMs off rare cartridges (and rightfully so, as they are dying). There are a couple of consistent contributors to RetroCDN that seem to have huge libraries, Black Squirrel and Akane or whatever their name is. I've been thinking about asking them where they're getting their collection from and if they take scan requests.
TarkusABtalk 14:10, 24 September 2018 (UTC)reply
@
TarkusAB: I'm surprised Frank Cifaldi wouldn't be more into it. I know he has a private collection of English language magazines at
Video Game History Foundation and I would have thought it would be right up his alley. Some others I emailed ages ago (i.e. in 2010) are Kevin Gifford (who used to write the MagWeaseling column for GameSetWatch) and Chris Covell. Both of them collect magazines and may be of some limited assistance. I hear Matthew Callis from superfamicom.org also has a sizeable collection of Japanese SNES magazines, but I haven't contacted him directly. I'm sure you know there are some murky areas of the internet where you can find info here and there... JimmyBlackwing did a good summary of some of these in a 2014 article for the WP:VG Newsletter (
here). There's also some more recent material on archive.org from Patreon's Marktrade donations to the "Game and Gamer Magazine" room. Ultimately the most straightforward option I've found in the past is to use a Japanese index online to pinpoint citations for a topic, and then just buy the corresponding magazines from Japan. It's frustratingly slow and can be rather expensive, but sometimes there is just no reasonable alternative.
Let me know if you do manage to track down a good source for Japanese material like this. There are a few issues of Famitsu I have been looking for on-and-off for years. -

Regarding Frank, he did offer to scan any articles that people need for research, so i put myself down as a middle man contact in the library. I think he was concerned about the volume of requests, but I've only emailed him for one request across like 4 months. He only has American magazines through 1999. He told me he was the one that uploaded all the GameFan articles to archive.org a few months back.
