:[[User:Vmavanti|Vmavanti]], regarding #3, I checked the tables of contents of all 1985 issues (bound in two volumes, ~ 15cm thick) and could not find anything. There were non-descriptive titles, which I did not have time to investigate further, the whole endeavour already took 10-15 minutes. On a more general note, I do not intend to act on similar requests going forward; the cost-benefit ratio just doesn't seem right. Not to criticise you--I understand you can only work from what is provided in the articles--just a bit of general feedback on this type of requests. Best, —&nbsp;[[User:Pajz|Pajz]] ([[User talk:Pajz|talk]]) 19:14, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

:: OK, then I apologize. I guess I'm not clear enough on how this process works. Thank you to everyone who has helped. If there's a thorny problem with an article, trying to find something like a citation without a title, one that is especially obscure or in a foreign language, to whom can I request help?<br />[[User:Vmavanti|Vmavanti]] ([[User talk:Vmavanti|talk]]) 19:42, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

:::[[User:Vmavanti|Vmavanti]], well, there's nothing to apologise for, really, and I also believe this is the proper page for such requests. I'm just pointing out some practical difficulties with them. You can't really know that before you hold the volume in your hands. Sometimes there is an annual table of contents (the likelier the more journal-esque the periodical), which helps locate articles where you only know the author. Sometimes there are few issues and the issues have tables of contents that are very clear, which may also enable one to retrieve the article rather quickly. I'm just saying that there are also instances where that is not the case, and I think it makes sense in these cases to indicate that it's too difficult instead of either leaving the request here untouched (so someone else will have the same experience) or spending an extraordinary amount of time on it. Just my two cents. —&nbsp;[[User:Pajz|Pajz]] ([[User talk:Pajz|talk]]) 22:22, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

::::{{u|Vmavanti}}, according to [https://www.crj-online.org/v4/CRJ-DownBeatMorgenstern.php this Down Beat index], the first one may be "Concert Review: Intercollegiate Jazz Review: Fairfield University, Fairfield, CT". I don't know if ''Current Research in Jazz'' is a [[WP:RS|reliable source]]. [[User:BlackcurrantTea|BlackcurrantTea]] ([[User talk:BlackcurrantTea|talk]]) 12:50, 20 October 2018 (UTC)

:::::The title of the ''Down Beat'' article is "Strictly Ad Lib". [[Joe Brazil]] and [[Chuck Metcalf]] have been updated accordingly. --[[User:Worldbruce|Worldbruce]] ([[User talk:Worldbruce|talk]]) 02:34, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

:::::: As an aside, in case you have to deal with this again, it's likely that many music articles simply bear the titles of the album or person they are discussing. So if a person asks, "What's the title of that review of ''Kind of Blue''? it will sometimes simply be "Kind of Blue". Or "Miles Davis: Kind of Blue".<br />[[User:Vmavanti|Vmavanti]] ([[User talk:Vmavanti|talk]]) 18:34, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

== Pages for James Wharton ==

{{tl|resolved}}

Hello. I'm looking for Chapter VII: James Wharton "The Moroccan Prince" from the following book:

*<s>{{cite book |last1=Fleischer |first1=Nat |title=Black dynamite: the story of the Negro in the prize ring from 1782 to 1938 Volume 1 |date=1938 |publisher=C. J. O'Brien, Inc |pages=54-63|}}</s>

However, I am also looking for pages 107 and 112 from:

*{{cite book |last1=Smith |first1=Kevin |title=Black Genesis: The History of the Black Prizefighter 1760-1870 |date=2003 |publisher=iUniverse |isbn=0595288847 |pages=107, 112}}

This is for [[User:MrLinkinPark333/James Wharton (boxer)]]. Google Books only has a snippet view for Black Dynamite and not the entire chapter. The two pages for Black Genesis are more of a priority than Black Dynamite. Thank you. [[User:MrLinkinPark333|MrLinkinPark333]] ([[User talk:MrLinkinPark333|talk]]) 23:14, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

:{{ping|MrLinkinPark333}} sent ''Dynamite''. --[[User:Worldbruce|Worldbruce]] ([[User talk:Worldbruce|talk]]) 02:13, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

::{{ping|Worldbruce}} Thanks for sending Dynamite. Only the two pages left from Genesis are needed. --[[User:MrLinkinPark333|MrLinkinPark333]] ([[User talk:MrLinkinPark333|talk]]) 16:27, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

== March/April 1995 OnTheInternet article ==

{{tl|resolved}}

This one I don't have the full information on but according to this [https://books.google.ca/books?id=Qq9TAAAAYAAJ&q=%22newfoundland%22+%22Tracy+LaQuey+Parker%22&dq=%22newfoundland%22+%22Tracy+LaQuey+Parker%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjri42e56LeAhUFUt8KHZ71CwIQ6AEIKjAA link] there is an OnTheInternet magazine article about Tracy LaQuey Parker that I persume is from March/April 1995. The page number says page 48 so the article must be around that page. I'm looking for the entire article for my [[User:MrLinkinPark333/sandbox/Tracy_LaQuey_Parker|draft]] on her. Thanks :)

== Country Music People June 1999 article verification ==

{{tl|resolved}}

Hello. I'm looking for "Bud Wendell: Company Man" in the June 1999 issue of the UK magazine ''Country Music People''. There is an online site [http://stacyharris.com/bud.html here] but I want to verify it before using this website. This is for my draft on [[User:MrLinkinPark333/sandbox/Bud Wendell|Bud Wendell]].

::It won't let me scroll down...[[User:Zigzig20s|Zigzig20s]] ([[User talk:Zigzig20s|talk]]) 00:04, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

:::{{ping|Zigzig20s}} The interface is unusual. There's a grabber at the bottom of the text window that allows one to resize it to show a full page, and a navigator on the right that lets one choose which page is shown. There's also a light blue download button above the text window. It allows one to download the whole 164-page issue as a searchable pdf. --[[User:Worldbruce|Worldbruce]] ([[User talk:Worldbruce|talk]]) 01:46, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

:::::No, but I've given up. The article is fine as a referenced stub, and someone else could expand it later.[[User:Zigzig20s|Zigzig20s]] ([[User talk:Zigzig20s|talk]]) 21:28, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
