:The source says: "He probably was the only billiard player ever to give an exhibition in the White House." No reference to pocket billiards. [[User:John M Baker|John M Baker]] ([[User talk:John M Baker|talk]]) 21:23, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
::<small><small><small>@[[:User:John M Baker|John M Baker]]:</small></small></small> Ah, thanks much. Shows how careful you must be in your assumptions to not engage in original research. Billiards? Yes. Pocket billiards? Highly unlikely – but the person who sourced this probably doesn't know the difference. At least "probably" was kept in, which was a good hedge in the source, but wrong because [[Yank Adams|he ''was not'' the only billiards player]] to give an exhibition at the white house, and if I remember, Ralph Greenleaf did as well.--[[User:Fuhghettaboutit|Fuhghettaboutit]] ([[User talk:Fuhghettaboutit|talk]]) 22:42, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

{{resolved}}
Each of the following references a nuthatch ''Sitta'' subspecies, which I have placed before the reference. In each case, I need the article '''title''' (in Cyrillic for the Russian ones if possible, with a translation), and a '''link''' to the article if one exists. All but one should be out of copyright, but my lack of Russian has made it hard for me to find the articles.

::::: yeah, I went digging into worldcat for this one -- "Зоологический институт академии наук СССР" is the department/publisher, not the title; they publish something called "Fauna USSR" (Фауна СССP) but I couldn't make the volumes line up. No luck, though the author was prolific and wrote a 4-volume guide to passerines that might be helpful. -- [[user:phoebe|phoebe]] / <small>([[user_talk:phoebe|talk to me]])</small> 00:06, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
I don't know if these are incredibly rare in English language libraries or that Worldcat does a poor job with foreign language resources, but I was only able to find one of the above items listed there at a single institution, ''Наша Охота'' in the British Library.

:::Thanks to all for trying, I'm actually surprised that I found links for so many of the 23 subspecies. The article concerned has gone through FL now since it's as complete as it realistically can be, so anything else would just be a bonus <font face="chiller"><font color="red"><b>[[User:Jimfbleak|Jimfbleak]] - </b></font></font><font face="arial"><font color="green">[[User talk:Jimfbleak| talk to me?]]</font></font> 09:15, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
