In [https://books.google.co.in/books?id=tS1WAAAAYAAJ&q=nenjil+aalayam+triangular+love+story&dq=nenjil+aalayam+triangular+love+story&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjFj9WZtZvYAhXITLwKHSQbBZgQ6AEIODAD this publication] (which I'm not sure is a magazine, journal or a newspaper), page 40 covers a good amount of info on ''[[Nenjil Or Aalayam]]''. I'd like that page, and if the info continues on page 41, I'd like that too. The last time I requested this, it went unnoticed and the request was archived. I hope someone notices it this time. --<span style="white-space:nowrap;font-family: Papyrus">[[User:Kailash29792|<b style="color: black;">Kailash29792</b>]] [[User talk:Kailash29792|<span style="color: black;">(talk)</span>]] </span> 11:01, 28 March 2018 (UTC)

:[[User:Kailash29792|Kailash29792]], well, if a request doesn't get fulfilled, that doesn't necessarily mean it "went unnoticed", it may just mean that no one has access or no one wants to process it ... Also, you should take into account that requests like this one are almost impossible to fulfill unless you have the entire volume in front of you. We know very little about the actual ___location of that page since magazines typically don't have continous page numbers (at least not in Europe/the U.S.), so if you say it's on "page 40", that still begs the question: of ''what issue''? —&nbsp;[[User:Pajz|Pajz]] ([[User talk:Pajz|talk]]) 18:29, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

::{{u|Kailash29792}}, at the bottom of the Google Books page is a link that says "Report an issue." Clicking on that, you have a number of options which let you email Google Books with questions. They can likely fill in some of the bibliographic information for you even if they can't give you the scans. Many thanks to {{u|MrLinkinPark333}} for pointing this out; it's been hugely useful, and they've made several previously restricted out of copyright books available for full view as a result. --[[User:Usernameunique|Usernameunique]] ([[User talk:Usernameunique|talk]]) 02:17, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

:::From the "Bibliographic information" part of the page, here are some details: the publisher is United India Periodicals, and the year is 1962. ----<span style="white-space:nowrap;font-family: Papyrus">[[User:Kailash29792|<b style="color: black;">Kailash29792</b>]] [[User talk:Kailash29792|<span style="color: black;">(talk)</span>]] </span> 05:23, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

::::{{u|Kailash29792}}, the problem is that we don't know which issue the desired content is in. It could be in 26, 27, 28, etc.; there are 26 possibilities. By getting in touch with Google you can likely find out which, significantly narrowing the search range for anyone attempting to fulfill your request. --[[User:Usernameunique|Usernameunique]] ([[User talk:Usernameunique|talk]]) 17:37, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

:::::{{U|Usernameunique}}, I think it must be January 1962, since the film was released on the 26th of that month. I say this because page 40, from the little content visible, looks like a review. If not January, most likely February. ----<span style="white-space:nowrap;font-family: Papyrus">[[User:Kailash29792|<b style="color: black;">Kailash29792</b>]] [[User talk:Kailash29792|<span style="color: black;">(talk)</span>]] </span> 07:15, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

::::::{{u|Kailash29792}}, in response to your [[User talk:Usernameunique#Resource_request|talk page ping]] ("I have given some updated info at the Resource Request page over [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Resource Exchange/Resource Request#Link, Volume 4, Issues 26-51|here]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Resource Exchange/Resource Request#The Illustrated Weekly of India - Volume 83, Part 1|here]]. Please respond."), I sent Google Books an email about this magazine a few days ago, asking for them to please provide the correct issue and date for page 40. I will update when I hear back. In the future, such a rudimentary step would be easy to do yourself before posting your request. --[[User:Usernameunique|Usernameunique]] ([[User talk:Usernameunique|talk]]) 07:07, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

{{u|Kailash29792}}, per Google Books: "Hello, Thank you for reaching out to the Google Books team. The page displayed in the snippet view for this volume is in issue number 35 from April 8, 1962." In the future, you can email Google Books with such questions yourself by using the "Report an issue" link at the bottom of the page. --[[User:Usernameunique|Usernameunique]] ([[User talk:Usernameunique|talk]]) 21:48, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

:{{U|Usernameunique}}, were you able to get the page(s)? If so, please e-mail me. I need the full page(s) to expand the desired article. <span style="white-space:nowrap;font-family: Papyrus">[[User:Kailash29792|<b style="color: black;">Kailash29792</b>]] [[User talk:Kailash29792|<span style="color: black;">(talk)</span>]] </span> 13:22, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

::{{U|Usernameunique}}, I interpreted your comments in this thread as general advice about how to most effectively formulate requests based on Google Books hits (advice I found extremely helpful), rather than an indication that you have access to the requested material. Could you drop a note here clarifying whether you are in progress on this request or not? If not, then I think none of the volunteers here have access to the source, and after two listings of 90+ days each, I would like to close this as stale. --[[User:Worldbruce|Worldbruce]] ([[User talk:Worldbruce|talk]]) 17:36, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

:::{{u|Worldbruce}}, I've asked my library and should hear back in a day or two. --[[User:Usernameunique|Usernameunique]] ([[User talk:Usernameunique|talk]]) 17:59, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

::::{{u|Kailash29792}}, [[Special:EmailUser|email me]] for this. --[[User:Usernameunique|Usernameunique]] ([[User talk:Usernameunique|talk]]) 21:57, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

:::::{{U|Usernameunique}}, done as asked. <span style="white-space:nowrap;font-family: Papyrus">[[User:Kailash29792|<b style="color: black;">Kailash29792</b>]] [[User talk:Kailash29792|<span style="color: black;">(talk)</span>]] </span> 05:29, 10 July 2018 (UTC)

{{u|Worldbruce}}, marking this as {{tl|resolved}}; sent to {{u|Kailash29792}}, and though he hasn't responded I assume it has been received. --[[User:Usernameunique|Usernameunique]] ([[User talk:Usernameunique|talk]]) 03:31, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

:I haven't received any mail. Or was it to my G Drive page? What is the file name? <span style="white-space:nowrap;font-family: Papyrus">[[User:Kailash29792|<b style="color: black;">Kailash29792</b>]] [[User talk:Kailash29792|<span style="color: black;">(talk)</span>]] </span> 03:47, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

::{{u|Kailash29792}}, resent. --[[User:Usernameunique|Usernameunique]] ([[User talk:Usernameunique|talk]]) 03:56, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

:::Thank you very much Usernameunique. This may be marked as '''resolved'''. <span style="white-space:nowrap;font-family: Papyrus">[[User:Kailash29792|<b style="color: black;">Kailash29792</b>]] [[User talk:Kailash29792|<span style="color: black;">(talk)</span>]] </span> 04:11, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
