{{resolved}} In this publication (which I'm not sure is a magazine, journal or a newspaper), page 40 covers a good amount of info on Nenjil Or Aalayam. I'd like that page, and if the info continues on page 41, I'd like that too. The last time I requested this, it went unnoticed and the request was archived. I hope someone notices it this time. --Kailash29792 (talk) 11:01, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Kailash29792, well, if a request doesn't get fulfilled, that doesn't necessarily mean it "went unnoticed", it may just mean that no one has access or no one wants to process it ... Also, you should take into account that requests like this one are almost impossible to fulfill unless you have the entire volume in front of you. We know very little about the actual ___location of that page since magazines typically don't have continous page numbers (at least not in Europe/the U.S.), so if you say it's on "page 40", that still begs the question: of what issue? — Pajz (talk) 18:29, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Kailash29792, at the bottom of the Google Books page is a link that says "Report an issue." Clicking on that, you have a number of options which let you email Google Books with questions. They can likely fill in some of the bibliographic information for you even if they can't give you the scans. Many thanks to MrLinkinPark333 for pointing this out; it's been hugely useful, and they've made several previously restricted out of copyright books available for full view as a result. --Usernameunique (talk) 02:17, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
From the "Bibliographic information" part of the page, here are some details: the publisher is United India Periodicals, and the year is 1962. ----Kailash29792 (talk) 05:23, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Kailash29792, the problem is that we don't know which issue the desired content is in. It could be in 26, 27, 28, etc.; there are 26 possibilities. By getting in touch with Google you can likely find out which, significantly narrowing the search range for anyone attempting to fulfill your request. --Usernameunique (talk) 17:37, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Usernameunique, I think it must be January 1962, since the film was released on the 26th of that month. I say this because page 40, from the little content visible, looks like a review. If not January, most likely February. ----Kailash29792 (talk) 07:15, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Kailash29792, in response to your talk page ping ("I have given some updated info at the Resource Request page over here and here. Please respond."), I sent Google Books an email about this magazine a few days ago, asking for them to please provide the correct issue and date for page 40. I will update when I hear back. In the future, such a rudimentary step would be easy to do yourself before posting your request. --Usernameunique (talk) 07:07, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Kailash29792, per Google Books: "Hello, Thank you for reaching out to the Google Books team. The page displayed in the snippet view for this volume is in issue number 35 from April 8, 1962." In the future, you can email Google Books with such questions yourself by using the "Report an issue" link at the bottom of the page. --Usernameunique (talk) 21:48, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Usernameunique, were you able to get the page(s)? If so, please e-mail me. I need the full page(s) to expand the desired article. Kailash29792 (talk) 13:22, 27 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Usernameunique, I interpreted your comments in this thread as general advice about how to most effectively formulate requests based on Google Books hits (advice I found extremely helpful), rather than an indication that you have access to the requested material. Could you drop a note here clarifying whether you are in progress on this request or not? If not, then I think none of the volunteers here have access to the source, and after two listings of 90+ days each, I would like to close this as stale. --Worldbruce (talk) 17:36, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Worldbruce, I've asked my library and should hear back in a day or two. --Usernameunique (talk) 17:59, 9 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The download is "Restricted to Repository staff [of Mataram University] only" & there is not a single Worldcat hit. -> The thesis is presumably unpublished, at least under that title. -> The request strikes me as pointless.

@Tintor2: I have access to #2. Please Wikimail me and I'll send it to you. —Bruce1eetalk 17:03, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
(Edit conflict.) Tintor2, as to #1, why are you requesting that? This has the exact same issue that I have pointed out to you just a couple of threads above, #Sasuke Uchiha. If it's been published in a journal or as a standalone book/manuscript, please provide more information, if it's just on that website, it specifically says "Repository staff only". And that's probably who you should get in touch with. Regarding #3, it's incomprehensible to me what you are requesting. You link to the details of a talk held on April 11, 2013, https://surface.syr.edu/bts_conf/2013/Presentations/. This is not a "resource". If you want to get hold of the slides (if such exist), you should probably reach out to the speaker. Best, — Pajz (talk) 17:07, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Tintor2: I received your wikimail and replied with #2 attached – check your email. —Bruce1eetalk 17:25, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Tintor2: The primary purpose of the {{resolved}} template is to tell volunteers that they don't need to keep trying to fulfill the request. The distinctions of whether it's resolved in the sense that the requester received everything they wanted, or they withdrew the request, or the request was determined to be not doable, is not really important to us, so we just have the one template. --Worldbruce (talk) 18:51, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Checked the mail.

@Pajz: You think #3 might be obtained or should I already leave it as resolved? Cheers.Tintor2 (talk) 19:01, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Tintor2: "Disability and Biopolitics in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood" by Julie Sadler is downloadable from [1] (free, but registration required). The author describes it as "Delivered at CripCon 2013 in Syracuse, NY", so it's presumably what was announced in the program you linked to as "Embodiment, Disability and Social Violence in Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood". --Worldbruce (talk) 19:24, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Offline sources on the development of Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos

I'm looking to improve Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, especially the development section, but since development happened between 1996 and 2002, I can't find any sources online from back then. The libraries I can go to only carry German-language video gaming magazines in their archives (for obvious reasons) and all databases I have access to contain no such magazines at all. I also asked at WT:VG already but got no feedback yet. So if someone has some old magazines lying around or can access a library that archives such magazines, I'd be happy for some sources. If one can tell me where I can find such things online, all the better. Regards SoWhy 09:20, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

News items from The Times and UPI, 1977 and 1976

{{resolved}} I need two newspaper articles regarding the death toll of the 1976 Tangshan earthquake in China.

  • First article was (allegedly!) in The Times of London, 6 January 1977, specific title not known ("Tangshan earthquake"?).
  • Second article would have been carried by UPI (United Press International) a week or two following the quake (that is, after 28 July 1976), giving a figure of 655,000, or "700,000 to 750,000" fatalities, possibly attributed to Dr. George Pararas-Carayannis.

A deplorable lack of source detail, for sure, but that is precisely what I am trying to correct. ♦ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 19:19, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@J. Johnson: I doubt a UPI source exists from that soon after the quake with those figures. The only mention of the doctor is on 28 July 1976 in an article subtitled "No news of casualties", to wit: "Center Director Dr. George Pararas-Carayannis said that if the quake hit in a populated area reports of considerable damage could be expected." On 7 August 1976, UPI reported more than 100,000 dead and about 900,000 injured, according to intelligence estimates by Nationalist Chinese authorities. On 27 August, UPI reported that China's official news agency (New China News Agency) gave no casualty figures for Tangshan. On 28 August, UPI said that two radio broadcasts announcing withdrawals of medical teams from Tangshan gave no indication of casualty numbers, but that casualty estimates from other sources ranged from tens of thousands to more than a million. If your numbers had been circulating on this side of the Bamboo Curtain at that time, these stories surely would have mentioned them.
A UPI story from 5 January 1977 gives estimates of fatalities and casualties in your ranges, based on a 6 August 1976 report by the "Hopeh Provincial Committee of the party and the Hopeh Revolutionary Committee" obtained via a Nationalist Chinese source.[2] --Worldbruce (talk) 16:09, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for digging into that. I saw a UPI article for the 28th with no mention of Dr. George, so I would like to see what you found. (Perhaps they weren't comfortable with his figures?) That those numbers were not mentioned is useful information. The 1977 story appears to be about the same event as one reported in a Hong Kong paper, so that is also useful. Thanks. ♦ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 23:20, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
