== Article in a 2003 issue of TV magazine ''Radio Times'' ==

<!-- Brief citation of the requested materials. -->

* (can't figure out how to do a citation here) - the article seemingly titled "monster magic" on pg. 38 of the 6 November 2003 issue (issue no. 4156) of ''Radio Times''; it seems to be an article about this TV series and since sources are hard to come by, will probably be useful. It exists as per these; [https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/6c154fc4327f4be19ea00d3c793495d9 1], [https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/18f032d793454f8daf48597da822f561 2].

For [[Sea Monsters (TV series)]]

Thanks, [[User:Ichthyovenator|Ichthyovenator]] ([[User talk:Ichthyovenator|talk]]) 13:56, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

:* {{u|Ichthyovenator}}, how confident are you in the page number? I asked for pages 37–39, and my library claims they couldn't find it in the page range. The first link you provided says "Monster magic: page 38", but it also says "Appears in: Issue 4156, 6 November 2003, Page 78". It seems as if the text on the website is a transcription of (part of) what appears on page 78 of the 6 November 2003 issue. Do you understand "Monster magic: page 38" to be referring to another page in the same issue of ''Radio Times''? Considering that it follows a reference to "(S) BBC BOOK: Sea Monsters, now available price £17.99", could "Monster magic: page 38" be referring to a page of the BBC book instead? --[[User:Usernameunique|Usernameunique]] ([[User talk:Usernameunique|talk]]) 09:19, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

::* {{u|Ichthyovenator}}, after looking into this further, it appears my library is missing this issue, and scanned the following issue (covering 15–21 November) instead. So it may indeed be on page 38 of issue 4156 after all. I'm trying to ILL it and will follow up. --[[User:Usernameunique|Usernameunique]] ([[User talk:Usernameunique|talk]]) 00:29, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

:::* {{u|Usernameunique}} I am so sorry for not responding to your earlier response more than a month ago - I don't know how I managed to miss it. I am very thankful for your efforts to attempt locating this quite obcure source. As for the page number, your guess is as good as mine if it's correct, I'm just going off based of what the site says (though I'm fairly confident that it's not from the BBC book and indeed from an article titled "Monster magic" in the magazine - no heading or section by that name exist in the book to my knowledge). [[User:Ichthyovenator|Ichthyovenator]] ([[User talk:Ichthyovenator|talk]]) 13:09, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

::::{{re|Usernameunique}} You said you'd try to ILL it again; any word? <span style="white-space: nowrap;">—[[User:Compassionate727|Compassionate727]]&nbsp;^{([[User talk:Compassionate727|T]]·[[Special:Contributions/Compassionate727|C]])}</span> 19:19, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

::::: {{u|Compassionate727}}, it's "Awaiting Unfilled Processing" as of February 26, which means that the first library they tried can't fulfill it. They might try another library—seems like the issue is held by a number of them—but I'm not sure. I'll let you know when i hear more. --[[User:Usernameunique|Usernameunique]] ([[User talk:Usernameunique|talk]]) 19:23, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

:::::: {{u|Compassionate727}} & {{u|Ichthyovenator}}, no luck, unfortunately. After sending the request out for a second time, my library cancelled it, saying they were unable to find a library with it. --[[User:Usernameunique|Usernameunique]] ([[User talk:Usernameunique|talk]]) 18:09, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

::::::: {{u|Usernameunique}} Considering how difficult it appears to be to track down this magazine article perhaps I could retract my request for it here (not sure how the process works)? I have no idea what they wrote about the TV series in the magazine and any reliable source would be helpful in beefing up the Wikipedia article further, but I'm not sure if whatever they wrote is going to be worth your efforts and seemingly needlessly (it appears the source truly has gone up in smoke) wasting your time. [[User:Ichthyovenator|Ichthyovenator]] ([[User talk:Ichthyovenator|talk]]) 19:52, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

:::::::: {{Reply to|Ichthyovenator}} If you would like to withdraw your request, just tag it with {{tl|Withdrawn}}. But perhaps you should wait to see if {{u|Usernameunique}} has any other ideas. —[[User:Bruce1ee|Bruce1ee]]^{[[User talk:Bruce1ee|''talk'']]} 20:46, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

::::::::: {{u|Ichthyovenator}} & {{u|Bruce1ee}}, I've sent an email to the BBC Genome team, asking if they can provide any more information about what exactly appears on page 38; I doubt they'll be able to send a scan of the page itself, but hopefully that can say whether it is an article, blurb, or something else. After that, my next thought would be to reach out to libraries directly and ask them to check their holdings. And no worries about the effort involved—I've gone to great efforts myself to track down information that barely warrants a footnote in an article, so empathize with the desire to find this. --[[User:Usernameunique|Usernameunique]] ([[User talk:Usernameunique|talk]]) 21:27, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

:::::::::: {{u|Usernameunique}} As long as you're fine with continuing the search you're welcome to do so; here's hoping the source will actually be useful if you manage to find it! It's clearly difficult to track down - ''if'' you run into a dead end or feel like stopping just let me know and we can call it off. [[User:Ichthyovenator|Ichthyovenator]] ([[User talk:Ichthyovenator|talk]]) 17:16, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

::::::::::: {{u|Ichthyovenator}}, here's the BBC's response: {{tq|The piece “Monster Magic” on page 38 of that issue of Radio Times is a very short piece about the Walking with Dinosaurs special “Sea Monsters”, promoting the programme as something the family could watch together. There is not a great deal of information, some of it is information taken from the BBC book “Sea Monsters” about the creature Dunkleosteus, together with a Radio Times offer to buy discounted copies of this book.}} Let me know if that sounds useful. If so, I can try to ILL this again when the world settles down a bit more; the University of Washington says it appears to have a copy, although its ILL department is currently closed, and probably will be for at least a few more months. --[[User:Usernameunique|Usernameunique]] ([[User talk:Usernameunique|talk]]) 14:27, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

:::::::::::: {{u|Usernameunique}} I am sorry if I have wasted your time but per that response it doesn't sound as if there is a whole lot of information to glean from the text. The information from the book will not really be anything new and the offer to buy a discounted book does not sound like something that could be meaningfully incorporated in the article on the series. I was gunning for something akin to a review in order to beef up the "reception" section in the article - as it is now, that section gives the impression that reception to the series was mixed whereas most online reviews (blogs, imdb etc.) are highly positive (but cannot be cited per WP standards). [[User:Ichthyovenator|Ichthyovenator]] ([[User talk:Ichthyovenator|talk]]) 15:04, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

::::::::::::: No problem, {{u|Ichthyovenator}}. And it's not a waste of time at all. Given the above, are you comfortable marking this as {{tl|resolved}}? If you ''do'' want to take a look at it to be sure, give me a heads up in a month or two and I can give the University of Washington another try. --[[User:Usernameunique|Usernameunique]] ([[User talk:Usernameunique|talk]]) 20:58, 27 March 2021 (UTC)

:::::::::::::: {{u|Usernameunique}}, I'm marking it as resolved right away. A anticlimactic end to the search to be sure, but I am very impressed with the lengths you went to in order to track down a source as obscure as this.
