Hi. I was wondering if in the US you could access this. I found a quote "nothing really can exceed the marvellous beauty of six feet of Clunie's water with the graceful Nymphcea on the top" but makes no sense without the context, can you find it and tweak it?♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:04, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
Hi Megalibrarygirl,
Picking you to bug somewhat at random from Category:Wikipedians who have access to EBSCO (well, and as a librarian I expect you've built up a large tolerance for random people asking you to find stuff for them :)).
I'm doing some cleanup of references and am having trouble with one that is incomplete and for which all details appear to be hidden behind EBSCO's paywall:
If you're able to and so inclined, I would very much appreciate it if you could get me full bibliographic details on this article(?). In particular: year published, journal name, volume, issue, ISSN/eISSN for the journal, and DOI or other identifiers for the article. If you could also verify the extant bibliographic details and the URL (it's odd that it doesn't lead to at least an abstract and just shows a login screen; perhaps there's a better URL we should use?).
In any case, all assistance here would be very much appreciated! -- Xover ( talk) 11:31, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
Who knew? 1917 Bath Riots is a fascinating snapshot of a troubled time. Wonder whatever happened to Torres? SusunW ( talk) 23:27, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

The Citation Barnstar |
Thanks for finding the "women in ???" and improving the "women in ???" lists. Its a gnomic task that just enables others to find something interesting and inspiring. Well done for your assistance to WIR and Wikipedia. I hope the World of Librarians Museum (c) puts your picture over their Halls of Fame. Well Done Victuallers ( talk) 15:35, 13 September 2016 (UTC) |
Congrats on publishing another great Signpost article! -- Rosiestep ( talk) 22:22, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
Hi Sue. As Rosie seems to be completely bogged down at the moment, I've edited your Nigerian editathon page to bring it into line with the Nigerian contest. As things were heating up more and more on various sites, I didn't think there should be any further delay. I've been working a bit on their list of red links too. I'm pretty busy myself at the moment but will try to add more tomorrow. I think several of the names on the list at the moment are AfD candidates. Thanks for all your support.-- Ipigott ( talk) 15:36, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

I just stumbled upon unreferenced Aylmer Hall. I am a bit busy right now, and my very quick search did not find any particularly good sources. Perhaps you could find something we could add to show she is notable, before someone deletes this? -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 03:24, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
Hi there,
Just saw your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Barbara Jayne Orser along the lines of what you do when you don't have access to a source (btw Rhododendrites is my volunteer account). Have you come across the Wikipedia Visiting Scholars program? The idea is for libraries at educational institutions to to provide remote access to their resources to experienced Wikipedians based on shared interests. The Wikipedian gets access to the same databases, ebooks, etc. that someone attending/working at the university would have, and the only requirement is that they agree to bring some articles in a topic area of mutual interest up to B-class or better. There are some openings right now, but you can also indicate in the application that none of the current openings are a good fit, and we'll (the Wiki Education Foundation) will conduct outreach to find a match. Food for thought. :) Let me know if I can answer any questions about it. -- Ryan (Wiki Ed) ( talk) 16:32, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
