This seems to be OCLC 18771861, for what it's worth. It's not very widely held. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 20:30, 28 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Kaʻiana

{{stale}}

  • David Samwell, "Journal," The Journals of Captain Cook . . ., by John C. Beaglehole (Cambridge: Cambridge U P, 1967) 1228-30.

For Kaʻiana. This is from a footnote of ""Kaʻiana, the Once Famous 'Prince of Kauaʻi'" by David G. Miller. I am trying to find an accessible online copy with searchable text if possible so I can read the adjacent pages.

Hi KAVEBEAR! It looks like archive has vol. 1 and 2 edited and selected editions Penguin and Dover. Unfortunately doesn't look like these are what you need, look like you need volume 5 in the Cambridge edition, or volume III, part 2 for the Routledge one. fiveby(zero) 01:06, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If the pages you need fall within his narrative of Cook's death, there's the pamphlet and republished in The death of Captain Cook and other writings. fiveby(zero) 01:38, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@KAVEBEAR, would you alternatively be interested in a scan of those pages? I don't have an ebook edition, but have access to the book itself. Eddie891 Talk Work 14:47, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dobson High School Yearbook(Mesa, Arizona)

{{stale}}

  • "1999 Dobson High School". Mesa, Arizona: unknown. 1999: unknown. {{cite journal}}: Cite journal requires |journal= (help)
  • "2003 Dobson High School". Mesa, Arizona: unknown. 2003: unknown. {{cite journal}}: Cite journal requires |journal= (help)


For Tanisha Harper. This model/actress has two different DOBs listed online. Some have 1981 and some have 1985. Classmates.com has some of that high school's yearbooks, but unfortunately it doesn't have any of yearbooks for either 1999 or 2003. Looking for either one of those yearbooks to confirm high school grad year and supporting evidence to determine whether 1981 or 1985 is the correct birth year.

Thanks, Kcj5062 (talk) 17:01, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Kcj5062, you may have better luck calling/emailing the mesa historical society. It's highly unlikely that an editor here will be able to get this for you (though not impossible). Eddie891 Talk Work 16:00, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Henry III and the Sicilian Business: a reinterpretation

{{resolved}}

I am trying to create an article about the historical situation of this time; any assistance with acquiring access to this source would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Unlimitedlead (talk) 02:51, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Unlimitedlead, this should be available through the Wikipedia Library's Wiley access: does this link (click the 'PDF' button) work for you? Extraordinary Writ (talk) 02:54, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, yes! Thank you kindly. Unlimitedlead (talk) 13:57, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Likely to need inter-library loan

For Candelaria Rodríguez. It appears as if the introduction gives a brief biography, but without access I can't tell and don't know the pages. The Google snippet doesn't give page numbers. Not in archive.org or hathitrust. World cat shows it is available in the US and UK. Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks, SusunW (talk) 14:32, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hm, it appears as the chapter 1 begins with page 1. Maybe there is a brief biography on the jacket blurb? – Doc Taxon • Talk • 19:07, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Doc Taxon Wish I knew. I want whatever it is that gives her birth date and schooling information, but which I can't access. SusunW (talk) 18:28, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@SusunW: Please check this, if it is useful. --Gazal world (talk) 22:43, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Gazal world yes, I can see the snippet, but obviously it isn't complete. I'd like the entire biography that appears in the book. It should be only a few pages as the book is not a biography, but rather a book about her experiences in Korea. SusunW (talk) 22:47, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@SusunW: I can see following information:

"The author was born into the family of a big bourgeois merchant in Havana , Cuba on October 23 , 1928 . received her elementary and sec- ondary education in Catholic schools . In 1949 she graduated from Havana University with a Doctorate of Law and was awarded the national prize " Ricar- do Dolz y Arango " . In 1951 she joined the International Commission of the Women's International Democratic Federation which visited Korea to investigate the crimes and atrocities committed by US soldiers against the civilian population , women and children included, under cover of the UN flag . On her way back to Cuba , Candelaria was arrested in New York where she was made to board a plane and , on arrival in Havana , was escorted to the Military Intelligence Service and the Bureau of Investigation of Communist Activities from the stairway to the plane . She published a pamphlet entitled What I Saw in Korea and covered the whole island denouncing the crimes she had witnessed . She was repeated- ly thrown into prison for these activities . The Cuban people responded with anti- imperialist and internationalist solidarity to the denunciation and the Cuban government was compelled to refrain from sending troops to fight the frater- nal....."

Hope, this is useful. --Gazal world (talk) 22:53, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Gazal world Thank you. That's very helpful. I could not see more than ""The author was born into the family of a big bourgeois merchant in Havana, Cuba on October 23 , 1928. Received her elementary and secondary education in Catholic schools". Appreciate the help. {{resolved}}SusunW (talk) 22:57, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
