Request for an article from the journal "Psychopathology" at Karger about the ancient Ptolemaic ruler Cleopatra VII of Egypt

Orland, Ralph M.; Orland, Frank J.; Orland, Phyllis T.M. (1990). "Psychiatric Assessment of Cleopatra – A Challenging Evaluation". Psychopathology. 23 (3): 169–175. doi:10.1159/000284655.

Hello! For anyone who might be able to help me in accessing the article cited above, I'm lodging this request per a suggestion made by one of the FAC reviewers of Death of Cleopatra. You can find the FAC page here. I don't have access to Karger.com, so it is currently hindering the FA candidacy of my article. "Death of Cleopatra" already cites a decent variety of reliable sources, but the reviewer has expressed concerns that there simply aren't enough and that further input from other sources would help to verify other claims and provide greater balance to the article. Any help with this would be enormously appreciated.

The Namasudras of Bengal via HathiTrust

Not sure what makes you think this is available on HathiTrust. They have digitized it, yes, but HathiTrust does not usually provide fulltext access to in-copyright works (unless the rightsholder explicitely agreed); Worldcat does not distinguish between fulltext/limited access. — Pajz (talk) 19:58, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

AFAIK, students of a certain set of universities can access the full books, even when it is unavailable for the broader populace.∯WBG^converse 04:43, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

They can't access full books of all material (been there), hence my question. They can access some of the material if it is considered out-of-print and meets some additional criteria. I infer from your response that you don't know if this book qualifies. Well, I suppose you can wait for someone from a partner institution to check the status of this particular book. It remains doubtful if someone can legally provide you with the entire book, though. There's no real reason why the restriction "We cannot perform full book scans requests due to copyright" wouldn't apply here; the rightsholder didn't make the material available, so the (U.S.) user would have to abide by the requirements of the fair use defense. — Pajz (talk) 06:21, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Asked for help at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Michigan. There's a copy in the UMich library.LeadSongDog come howl! 14:40, 2 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

LeadSongDog, thanks, though I suppose the problem is not so much finding someone with access to a copy of the book as it is scanning the entire volume of 102 pages (Winged Blades of Godric seems to request the entire volume). That would obviously be at odds with the general rule here that "[w]e cannot perform full book scans requests due to copyright". — Pajz (talk) 06:00, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

For most article development, simply scanning the contents and index is half the battle. Editors such as WBG can assess those and request a second scan of a few useful pages for material of particular interest. LeadSongDog come howl! 14:35, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

LeadSongDog, well, if he wants that, he can request it (I wouldn't mind supplying it). I just meant to point out a practical issue with the request as it stands. — Pajz (talk) 19:44, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Another Chinese alligator book

Thorbjarnarson, John; Wang, Xiaoming (May 17, 2010). The Chinese Alligator: Ecology, Behavior, Conservation, and Culture. Johns Hopkins University Press. ISBN 978-0-8018-93483.

For Chinese alligator; I primarily would like to know what it says about the alligator's association with the Chinese dragon. Of course, viewing the whole text would be ideal but it's really the Chinese dragon association that I need to know more about to add to the article, as the current section is quite short and only cites one source.

Thanks, SkyGazer 512 ^{Oh no, what did I do this time?} 19:32, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@SkyGazer 512: The book is available for preview on GBooks. A search for dragon in the book (for me) shows 8 out of 10 available pages. Any particular pages unavailable for you? --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 19:51, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@MrLinkinPark333: When I search for "dragon" on Google Books (I've already used some other pages in the book unrelated to "dragon" which are available for preview as sources in the article), it also brings up 10 pages, but every single one of them says "No preview available for this page". It would be primarily Chapter 4: Alligators as Dragons that I'm looking for, which is from page 49 to 72.--SkyGazer 512 ^{Oh no, what did I do this time?} 03:22, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Doing... #2, #3, — Pajz (talk) 05:50, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Vmavanti, as to #3, the volume has no annual index, and the individual issues, too, do not include a detailed table of contents (e.g., they don't mention reviews). Unfortunately, I do not have the time to search the entire volume. Regarding #2, there is a sentence in an untitled, as far as I can see, editorial section in the June issue, page 24, that says: "Teddy Norman's crooning on the icky “One Love" is pure dross, but thrush Chris Adams’ saucy innocence on “I’m a Big Girl Now’ (2 parts) is winning; she and McKinley address a tragic postwar shortage in “Have You Got Any Gum Chum?”". As best as I can tell, no other page 24 of any 1988 issue contains any mention of the song title. I'm not sure what the point of this reference is anyway; the fact that "Have Ya Got Any Gum, Chum?" comes from the phrase "Got Any Gum, Chum?" appears entirely trivial and the less obvious remainder of the sentence is already sourced. — Pajz (talk) 15:04, 28 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Proceedings of the International Association of Engineering Geology re the 1556 Shaanxi earthquake.

Does anyone have access to the Proceedings of the 5th International Congress of the International Association of Engineering Geology? It has been cited in various places (including our own 1556 Shaanxi earthquake) for the 1556 Shaanxi (Huaxian) earthquake having 830,000 fatalities, but I began to doubt, and am unable to verify. Item has an ISBN of 90-6191-664-X. It might be available at the IAEG home page, but only to members.

Alternately, is there anyone interested in researching some articles in Chinese? ♦ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 00:40, 29 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

For anyone else working on this request, I think it might be in the 6th conference proceedings, not the 5th. The reference in 1556 Shaanxi earthquake cites the proceedings from 1990, which would be the 6th conference. The 5th was in 1986. I checked the table of contents for all three volumes of the 5th just in case, and I couldn't find anything about Shaanxi. Unfortunately, these are the only proceedings I have access to. Mcampany (talk) 04:01, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have a source that states the 5th congress, volume 4, with 1990 when the Proceedings were published of the Congress held October 1986 in Buenos Aires. Also, ISBN 90-6191-664-X may be invalid; see also ISBN 978-906191664-2. ♦ J. Johnson (JJ) (talk) 22:16, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
