I am researching [[Interuniversal Mysticism]]. It will be of immense help if someone can provide me access to Chapters 3 and 4 of the above-mentioned book.

:{{u|Störm}}, What is the evidence that this is a reliable source? Cambridge Scholars Publishing is effectively self-publishing as far as editing and fact-checking go, so Eftekhar would need to meet [[WP:SPS]] for this to be admissible as a reliable source.

::Perhaps they meet WP:SPS point "Self-published expert sources may be considered reliable when produced by an established subject-matter expert, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable, independent publications." as they were awarded PhD on the subject by the [[University of York]] (link:https://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/4552/) and is the best available source in English-language which discusses the subject in detail.

::::They do seem to have some kind of advisory board (https://www.cambridgescholars.com/pages/eab-social-sciences). I am new to this publisher.

::::I don't know, but the book is held by [https://www.worldcat.org/title/birth-of-a-celestial-light-a-feminist-evaluation-of-an-iranian-spiritual-movement-inter-universal-mysticism/oclc/898154945 450 libraries] worldwide (if this book is not reliable then they will not do this).

David Irving's books[https://www.worldcat.org/title/destruction-of-dresden/oclc/319806324&referer=brief_results] are also held by hundreds of libraries, doesn't make them reliable. There are a few discussions on RSN about them as well as being marked as predatory by [[User:Headbomb/unreliable]]. More info at the wikipedia article [[Cambridge Scholars Publishing]].

== ''Major Taylor'' by Andrew Ritchie, citing Brooklyn Daily Eagle ==

For [[Madison (cycling)]], [[Six-day racing]].

The articles in question have a quotation from the [[Brooklyn Daily Eagle]]:

<blockquote>The wear and tear upon their nerves and their muscles, and the loss of sleep make them [peevish and fretful]. If their desires are not met with on the moment, they break forth with a stream of abuse. Nothing pleases them. These outbreaks do not trouble the trainers with experience, for they understand the condition the men are in.</blockquote>

This is cited to Ritchie's book. What I'd like to find is the date of the original Brooklyn Daily Eagle article, and (ideally) what expression Ritchie has replaced with "peevish and fretful" - I imagine that it's considered offensive these days, but, per [[WP:NOTCENSORED]], I believe that, in this situation, we should be able to see the original language used.

Thanks, [[User:Tevildo|Tevildo]] ([[User talk:Tevildo|talk]]) 23:59, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

:In Google Books, the paragraph reads in full:

:<blockquote>The riders are becoming peevish and fretful. The wear and tear upon their nerves and their muscles, and the loss of sleep make them so. If their desires are not met with on the moment, they break forth with a stream of abuse. Nothing pleases them. These outbreaks do not trouble the trainers with experience, for they understand the condition the men are in.</blockquote>

:I am doubtful that this is really from the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. In Google Books, the source is given in endnote 11. On Amazon, note 11 reads, “Unidentified newspaper clipping in Taylor scrapbook.” Note 10 goes to the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, the probable reason for the miscitation.

For [[Granny (sea anemone)]]

I have applied via Wikipedia Library for access to Cambridge University Press but have been put on a waiting list.
