:@[[User:Cinadon36|Cinadon36]]: Cluebot will only archive requests that have been tagged with {{tl|Resolved}}. I see that [[User:Zero0000|Zero0000]] tagged the request [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AWikiProject_Resource_Exchange%2FResource_Request&diff=1210090629&oldid=1210067383 here], presumably after sending the article to you. The bot then archived the request 14 hours later [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AWikiProject_Resource_Exchange%2FResource_Request&diff=1210207726&oldid=1210195062 here]. —[[User:Bruce1ee|Bruce1ee]][[User talk:Bruce1ee|^''talk'']] 22:36, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

== Archive delay ==

It seems like ClueBot hasn't been archiving the page for quite a while. [[User:Jo-Jo Eumerus|Jo-Jo Eumerus]] ([[User talk:Jo-Jo Eumerus|talk]]) 15:40, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

== access to latter day saints material on https://catalog.churchofjesuschrist.org/ ==

I don't know if materials there are appropriate as references (Paying $1 Million to have access is acceptable , becoming a member of a church to have access isn't) Specifically the entries in [https://catalog.churchofjesuschrist.org/record/c3269069-3991-42ec-943b-2300825586c4/0?view=browse&lang=engLambda Delta Sigma and Sigma Gamma Chi collection, 1936-2000] , ideas?[[User:Naraht|Naraht]] ([[User talk:Naraht|talk]]) 17:08, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

:OK, I found how to get an account. May be some things on the site that I can't get access to as a non-member, but we'll see.[[User:Naraht|Naraht]] ([[User talk:Naraht|talk]]) 17:24, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

:::Sources pulled from here would probably be primary sources for facts like the official colors for the Fraternity/Sorority, pictures of fraternity pins and the locations for chapters. For these type of facts, generally primary sources from the Greek Letter Organizations which are available to the public have been accepted. I think we might also be OK for lists of notable Alumni, also generally accepted from Primary public sources like Pledge Manuals. Oddly, the closest that some of it may come to things that the LDS consider scripture is Ephesians 6:10-18 (New Testament) in regards to the Armor of God.[[User:Naraht|Naraht]] ([[User talk:Naraht|talk]]) 18:03, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

== Newspapers.com access has been restored ==

... but you will need to apply for access the way it was before the proxy-based access was introduced. See [[m:Talk:The Wikipedia Library#Newspapers.com access is being restored!|TWL talk page]] for details. —[[User:Bruce1ee|Bruce1ee]][[User talk:Bruce1ee|^''talk'']] 17:24, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

== User:TheDiaboloBoy ==

Hey all. I don't want to overreact or make assumptions here, but I also don't want to underreact. User {{Np|TheDiaboloBoy}} has made a lot of requests here since 2023, and their account shows no mainspace contributions, which leads me to believe the resources they're requesting are not for the purpose of contributing to Wikipedia. I've [[User talk:TheDiaboloBoy#Requesting resources|brought this up]] on their talk page, but I want to leave a note for volunteers as well. (I've also linked to that talk page discussion on their open requests.)

Per the notes at the top of the request page, {{Tq|Individual editors are solely responsible for sharing copyrighted content and assume all legal risks.}} Personally, I will no longer be sharing copyrighted content with them, as the fair use exception doesn't seem to work if they're not contributing here, and I don't want to take on that legal risk. I suppose it's up to other volunteers whether you want to continue sharing resources with them.

== [[Liverpool University Press]] free journal issues online ==

Not sure if this is the best venue for this, but a heads-up: each year [[Liverpool University Press]] offers one free issue of each of its journals to read online. Approximately 40 journals are included across all subject areas, including some which have not traditionally had much academic treatment (the email I received today notes that an edition of ''Extrapolation'' is included, which is apparently "the first journal to publish academic work on science fiction and fantasy"). A new set of journals have been made available today: I'm not sure how long they stay up for, but probably not more than a year. I also don't know whether access is restricted to UK-based people or not. PDFs can be accessed/downloaded. See [https://www.liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/pages/free-issues https://www.liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/pages/free-issues]. I'm not affiliated with LUP (I'm just on their mailing list) but I'm happy to assist with questions or with downloading things. <span style="font-family: Helvetica;">[[User:Hassocks5489|<b style="color: #00BFFF;">Hassocks</b>]][[User talk:Hassocks5489|<span style="color: #228B22;">5489</span><span style="color: #C71585;"><small> (Floreat Hova!)</small></span>]]</span> 15:26, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

:I am not UK based and I can access it, thanks for the cool resource!
