== Offline sources on the development of ''[[Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos]]'' ==
 
I'm looking to improve ''[[Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos]]'', especially the development section, but since development happened between 1996 and 2002, I can't find any sources online from back then. The libraries I can go to only carry German-language video gaming magazines in their archives (for obvious reasons) and all databases I have access to contain no such magazines at all. I also asked at [[WT:VG]] already but got no feedback yet. So if someone has some old magazines lying around or can access a library that archives such magazines, I'd be happy for some sources. If one can tell me where I can find such things online, all the better.

== News items from ''The Times'' and UPI, 1977 and 1976 ==
{{tl|resolved}}
I need two newspaper articles regarding the death toll of the [[1976 Tangshan earthquake]] in China.
 
* <s>First article was (allegedly!) in ''The Times'' of London, 6 January 1977, specific title not known ("Tangshan earthquake"?).</s>
* Second article would have been carried by UPI (United Press International) a week or two following the quake (that is, ''after'' 28 July 1976), giving a figure of 655,000, or "700,000 to 750,000" fatalities, possibly attributed to Dr. George Pararas-Carayannis.
 
A deplorable lack of source detail, for sure, but that is precisely what I am trying to correct. &diams;&nbsp;[[User:J. Johnson|J.&nbsp;Johnson&nbsp;(JJ)]] ([[User_talk:J. Johnson#top|talk]]) 19:19, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
:{{ping|J. Johnson}} I doubt a UPI source exists from that soon after the quake with those figures. The only mention of the doctor is on 28 July 1976 in an article subtitled "No news of casualties", to wit: "Center Director Dr. George Pararas-Carayannis said that if the quake hit in a populated area reports of considerable damage could be expected." On 7 August 1976, UPI reported more than 100,000 dead and about 900,000 injured, according to intelligence estimates by Nationalist Chinese authorities. On 27 August, UPI reported that China's official news agency (New China News Agency) gave no casualty figures for Tangshan. On 28 August, UPI said that two radio broadcasts announcing withdrawals of medical teams from Tangshan gave no indication of casualty numbers, but that casualty estimates from other sources ranged from tens of thousands to more than a million. If your numbers had been circulating on this side of the Bamboo Curtain at that time, these stories surely would have mentioned them.
 
:A UPI story from 5 January 1977 gives estimates of fatalities and casualties in your ranges, based on a 6 August 1976 report by the "Hopeh Provincial Committee of the party and the Hopeh Revolutionary Committee" obtained via a Nationalist Chinese source.[https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2209&dat=19770105&id=RKcrAAAAIBAJ&sjid=6vwFAAAAIBAJ&pg=3656,412790] --[[User:Worldbruce|Worldbruce]] ([[User talk:Worldbruce|talk]]) 16:09, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
 
::Thanks for digging into that. I saw a UPI article for the 28th with no mention of Dr. George, so I would like to see what you found. (Perhaps they weren't comfortable with his figures?) That those numbers were ''not'' mentioned is useful information. The 1977 story appears to be about the same event as one reported in a Hong Kong paper, so that is also useful. Thanks. &diams;&nbsp;[[User:J. Johnson|J.&nbsp;Johnson&nbsp;(JJ)]] ([[User_talk:J. Johnson#top|talk]]) 23:20, 16 July 2018 (UTC)

== Name of (recent) United States Ambassador to Fiji, Kiribati, Nauru, Tonga, and Tuvalu? ==
 
Apparently we do not have any source for the first name of [[C. Steven McGann]] (see [[Wikipedia:Help_desk#Incorrect_Name]]). My Google-fu did not find anything authoritative either. [https://web.archive.org/web/20090227070437/https://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/biog/111302.htm It is fairly sure] that the person exists and had this post. Maybe there are newspaper clips mentioning him during his tenure there in 2008-2011?
