==Does anyone subscribe to Billboard? I need to know some boxscore data for a tour article.==

Please ping me here or post on my user talk. Thanks. &nbsp;—&nbsp;[[User:Calvin999|<b style="color:#595454">Calvin999</b>]] 18:56, 3 October 2017 (UTC)

:[[User:Calvin999|<b style="color:#595454">Calvin999</b>]], there is some access to Billboard through online databases; what do you need? [[User:John M Baker|John M Baker]] ([[User talk:John M Baker|talk]]) 14:26, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

:: Thank you {{u|John M Baker}}. I was looking for Leg 2 of the [[All I Want for Christmas Is You, A Night of Joy and Festivity]] concerts. And also for the [[I Am Tour (Leona Lewis)]] please. I have others too but this would do for the time being. &nbsp;—&nbsp;[[User:Calvin999|<b style="color:#595454">Calvin999</b>]] 19:11, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

* {{ping|Calvin999|p=}}, for whatever reason, I've found that Google Books has older Billboard issues available for full view, so I'd recommend checking there too <span style="background:#F0F0FF; padding:3px 9px 4px">[[User talk:Czar|<span style='font:bold small-caps 1.2em Avenir;color:#B048B5'>czar</span>]]</span> 02:33, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

** Thanks {{u|Czar}} &nbsp;—&nbsp;[[User:Calvin999|<b style="color:#595454">Calvin999</b>]] 08:41, 15 October 2017 (UTC)

::*{{u|Calvin999}}, not sure exactly what you're looking for. Is there a part of the Billboard website you can point to that has the "boxscore" data that you're trying to access? --[[User:Usernameunique|Usernameunique]] ([[User talk:Usernameunique|talk]]) 19:01, 23 October 2017 (UTC)

:::* {{u|Usernameunique}} Which updates and refreshes every week to current postings. &nbsp;—&nbsp;[[User:Calvin999|<b style="color:#595454">Calvin999</b>]] 10:04, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

::::*{{u|Calvin999}}, I still don't know what you mean. What part of the website contains this information? Can you include a link to the portion of the website that paywalls you? --[[User:Usernameunique|Usernameunique]] ([[User talk:Usernameunique|talk]]) 13:22, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

:::::* {{u|Usernameunique}} I'm afraid I don't know what you mean either. [http://www.billboard.com/biz/current-boxscore Billboard Boxscore] updates publically every week with the latest grosses, and the previous week becomes no longer visible. I posted here and many other places asking if anyone subscribes to Billboard so they could look up grosses from tours from a couple of years ago and subscribers can look at archives. Many people pinged back saying yes they do subscribe and they supplied me with the info I was looking for. 13:38, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

::::::*Thanks {{u|Calvin999}}, that clears it up. I didn't know that "Billboard Boxscore" was it's own separate part of the website. If you have everything that you need, let's mark this as {{tl|resolved}}. --[[User:Usernameunique|Usernameunique]] ([[User talk:Usernameunique|talk]]) 14:24, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

:::::::* Yes. &nbsp;—&nbsp;[[User:Calvin999|<b style="color:#595454">Calvin999</b>]] 14:38, 24 October 2017 (UTC)

== Newspaperarchive.com - Oakland Tribune 1926 ==

Does anyone have access to [[Newspaperarchive]]? I need access to this article in the [[Oakland Tribune]] from March 11, 1926 [https://newspaperarchive.com/oakland-tribune-mar-11-1926/] in order to improve the articles [[J. Herbert Frank]] and [[List of deaths from drug overdose and intoxication]].

== Mount Greylock ==

<!-- Brief citation of the requested materials. -->* Access to newspapers.com

<!-- Wikipedia articles being improved. -->* [[Mount_Greylock]]

I would like to work on cleaning up the sourcing of [[Mount_Greylock]]. I have a vague recollection that someone once told me Wikipedia has the ability to provide free access to newspapers.com which I think would be helpful in working on this. I also work on cleaning up references to other articles of this is not just a one-off request. Is my vague recollection correct?

:::Thanks for the kind offer. My specific project is not very time sensitive and I do have a number of other things on my plate so I'm happy to wait for access.
