::{{reply to|Sollyucko}} Hi. No I need the whole thing of course. The typical way has been email. I suppose this isn't available on WP:LIBRARY is it? — <span style="font-variant:small-caps">[[User:Smuckola|Smuckola]][[User talk:Smuckola|(talk)]]</span> 11:36, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

:::{{u|Smuckola}}, {{sent}} by email. Sollyucko, I don't think sending a single ten-page article is too problematic in terms of fair use, although obviously you should only send whatever you're comfortable sending. [[User:Extraordinary Writ|Extraordinary Writ]] ([[User talk:Extraordinary Writ|talk]]) 00:25, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

::::{{tl|Resolved}}{{ping|Extraordinary Writ|Sollyucko}} I thank you both; and may you live forever! O most extraordinary of all writs, you have made my long forgotten dreams come true. I spent cumulative months across the years writing [[Taligent]] from scratch, and this is one of the most core sources I have never seen before. I had to cite it already, because other sources cited it as part of 90s vaporware archaeology! This is a very big deal to me, at least to commemorate my effort behind the masterpiece. Everybody who knows me, knows this is a big deal. ;) — <span style="font-variant:small-caps">[[User:Smuckola|Smuckola]][[User talk:Smuckola|(talk)]]</span> 08:11, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

== Confirming existence of a book ==

Hi all, in [[Special:Diff/1192076189|this edit]], I removed a bunch of uncited content and two sources, because I couldn't find indication that the sources in question exist. The sources in question are:

* O'Conner, Elizabeth. ''Here There Were Dragons: New England's Forgotten Cryptozoological Phenomena''. St. Paul, Minnesota: Llewellyn, 1994.

* Original Author: Peter Maly ''The Lost Feline: A Unknown Cryptid''

Seems like probable hoax material to me, wondering if anyone else could confirm. Best wishes, [[User:Eddie891|Eddie891]] <small>''^{[[User talk:Eddie891|Talk]]} _{[[Special:Contributions/Eddie891|Work]]}'' </small> 13:28, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

:{{reply|Eddie891}} Confirm likely hoax; neither title is listed in the usual databases (Worldcat, LibraryThing, Library of Congress, even Amazon, for that matter). I note lack of ISBN? [[User talk:Serial Number 54129|<span style="color:blue">——Serial</span>]] 14:06, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

Critical review to be used for [[Music Box Tour]].

Thanks, [[User:Heartfox II|Heartfox II]] <small>([[User:Heartfox|main account]])</small> 16:28, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

:{{u|Heartfox II}}, {{u|Heartfox}}, I wonder why you can't access this from your main account through the Wikipedia Library, to which you should have access. It should be available via Proquest.

:If this is a dedicated account for RX requests, I'd rather you first made sure you can't access that content yourself. [[User:Szmenderowiecki|Szmenderowiecki]] ([[User talk:Szmenderowiecki|talk]]) 16:43, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

::If you cannot access it, I'll send this to you. [[User:Szmenderowiecki|Szmenderowiecki]] ([[User talk:Szmenderowiecki|talk]]) 16:44, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

:::On both my university access and wikipedia library ProQuest only gives citation/abstract for these articles, not full text. As I cannot find the full text elsewhere I have made requests here. [[User:Heartfox|Heartfox]] ([[User talk:Heartfox|talk]]) 22:19, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
