I am trying to track down biographical information for the article on
Churchill Machine Tool Company and would be grateful if anyone has access to either or both of the Dictionary of Business Biography (ed: David J Jeremy, Butterworths 1984-86, 5 volumes, isbn for the first is 0406273413) or really old copies of Who Was Who could see look into any available entries for:
* Sir Greville Simpson Maginness (born 1888)
Arthur Chamberlain (d. circa 1941 - not his father, who had same name and who died in 1913) - sorted, thanks to
user:Smallman12q
Herbert Chamberlain (1845-1904)
Walter Chamberlain (b. 1847)
Charles Churchill (b. 1838, USA - d. Feb 1916)
John William Wright Gabriel (b. 1860)
All of the above were directors of Charles Churchill & Co Ltd and/or The Churchill Machine Tool Co Ltd. & they mostly had fingers in many pies.
Also, the article on Maginness in the periodical Sheet Metal Industries, volume 25 (1948) p. 1997 - there is a snippet view here

Help dating 18th century French painter Antoine Graincourt
Hi friends. I'm attempting to resolve the dating inconsistency in the
Antoine Graincourt article and a simple google search is not cutting it. Could someone who has access to an academic library or database help? The article says in the text Graincourt's dates are 1699-1753, but also places him in the category 1748 births and 1823 deaths.
However, even if 1699-1753 is wrong, google can't help me confirm that 1748-1823 is correct. Those dates don't seem to have any online source except Wikipedia and Wikipedia mirrors/copies. Plus, Graincourt paintings include people who died before 1748, such as
François Louis de Rousselet, Marquis de Châteaurenault (1637-1716) and
René Duguay-Trouin (1673-1736) – though I suppose those could also be copies of earlier paintings. I hope all this is enough info. Thanks!

I have found support for the 1748 birth date through google books. See
here; likewise (with considerable overlap) for a year of death in 1823
[2]. I find no support for 1699 (
[3]); hits are coincidental. --
Moonriddengirl(talk) 15:55, 15 January 2009 (UTC)reply
Thank you very much. BTW, do you have access to the full versions of any of those books? While most simply give his dates in a one-line list-type entry, these two look like they might include some actual biographical text that we could use to expand the article – if we could access it.
The former link is for
ISBN9782862721361,
OCLC264090480, which is shown in three libraries: Two in Germany
(Mainz) and
(Munchen) plus one in Switzerland

Hi WhisperToMe! When you have received what you asked for in a request, here on
WP:Resource exchange (and on the
Reference desks), then it is a good thing if you put in a {{resolved}} as the first line just beneath the heading. This both
facilitates automated archiving AND it makes all the helpful people avoid wasting any time, instead letting them jump right to the other sections(requests) where their time and attention is needed. In cases where you have put multiple resource requests under one heading and not all have been answered yet, then it is a good thing if you use strikeout on the parts of the request that have been answered. (
Like DrPda did on part of your request above). It is done like this:
<S>3.Third part of my request.</S>
which results in: 3.Third part of my request.) :-) P.S. Generally it is best if (the work of) adding the {{resolved}} and the <S></S> is done by the one who gets the answer rather than by the one who gives it (or anyone else). --

The SEC's database is located

If they don't list the number of employees I can probably get it for you from a business database such as Duns & Broadstreet. I think it would be fine to cite a company's required findings since they are independently audited.

It looks like it should be available from Hathitrust to IP addresses in the US. They are very cautious about infringing non-US copyrights, blocking access to foreign origin material from 1869-1923 except to US users. In England, the original should be available at the
BL (DSC Boston Spa),
Newcastle University or
Cambridge (check their catalogues for Volume 4). You may be able to get some wikipedian near there to do the legwork if it's not feasible for you. See
WP:LIB. It was a weekly, so I think you are looking for one of the April 1889 issues based on the page numbers. Or you could seek out an editor with access to a major US library who can get it from Hathitrust.

Thanks for that.

In a paper by
Sidney Darlington it is mentioned that Sally Pero (nee Sally Pero Mead) may have been the first person to build an equalizer. I am trying to get a date for this which Darlington unfortunatley does not give. We are talking ATT here so the publication platform is likely the Bell System Technical Journal. If someone can find the index to this, please let me know when (or if) she published. The invention was in connection with submarine telegraph cables so the time-frame is early 20th century, maybe 1920ish.
SpinningSpark 17:01, 11 September 2010 (UTC)reply
The second one is the relevant subject. It seems to be a later development than the one Darlington describes judging by the abstract, but maybe she gives a date of the earlier device in the paper.

I didn't but would imagine that is so because entries are self-penned. However, this entry is about a company and as such would have the same weight as a trade directory plus, more importantly, it appears to have some information which I would then be able to cross-reference (dates, names, addresses etc. There is a major problem with a corporate history from about 1914 at
W & J Galloway & Sons and this thing may kickstart filling in the gaps. -

Update: I've read some of the RS Noticeboard discussions now. It s/b noted first of all that this is (a) a UK publication, not the US one, and (b) it is not "Who's Who". It is also not being requested for a biographical purpose at all, living person or otherwise. The consensus, as for example illustrated in
this discussion, is that care needs to be taken but errors are usually of omission, which is not a problem for my requirements. I really want to nail this article, which I've developed more or less solo from pretty much a stub. It could be as good as
Churchill Machine Tool Company, which is also primarily my work (although, as always, has benefited from much useful advice etc from other editors). -

Four Zootaxa papers

http://www.mapress.com/zootaxa/2011/f/z02760p028f.pdf
I looked up the URL, and found that it's not a journal article, it's not dated January 2008, and it's not accessible without a SAGE subscription (or a fee of $25 for one day of access, which I wouldn't expect anyone to pay). I restated the citation like this:
Correcting the citation template was easy. But can anyone confirm that the article text is in fact supported by the citation? The following text is from the Rome-Berlin relations section of the article:
With the assassination of Dollfuss, Mussolini attempted to distance himself from Hitler by rejecting much of the racialism (particularly
Nordicism and Germanicism) and anti-Semitism espoused by the German radical. Mussolini during this period rejected biological racism, at least in the Nazi sense, and instead emphasized "
Italianizing" the parts of the
Italian Empire he had desired to build. He declared that the ideas of
Eugenics and the racially charged concept of an
Aryan nation were not possible.

Interesting source. I assume you meant 1888 as the start date instead of 1915? It looks like Google has digitized these and when I use my university library portal to search I have access to most years from 1890 - 1905. However, many of those years don't show up when I go directly to books.google.com and search there so I think they might be restricted to certain universities. You may want to check Google Books to see if you have access. Anyway, here's the section on Nigeria for

I did not mention that the Munich copy is unavailable, maybe lost at the library where it is recorded. Of course I tried to get it myself there first before making requests here. On this attempt I spent about half an hour with a librarian in a charming little library just off a balcony that is overlooking some mounted dinosaurs. While the librarian tried to locate the publication and did not find it, I browsed through early editions of Darwin's Origins of Species and Descent of Man. I love libraries and I know my way around them. Please deal with this request and me as a capable, long term Wikipedian and avid contributor to the corresponding Germany counterpart of this page. I do know what I am doing and I know why I am asking here. Again: I am looking for a scan of a short excerpt of a fairly widely available publication, can someone please help me get it? --
h-stt!? 13:12, 9 May 2011 (UTC)reply
Don't get me wrong... I'm a German Wikipedian as well and I didn't want to push you off. The magazine is held at Frankfurt University, the book at FU Berlin and TU Freiberg. So I thought, you could be able to get the scan quite fast over there. If that's not possible we'll have to wait for someone resolving this for you here. Beste Grüße --

March 2011: Time Magazine Article from 1959 and Health Physics 1961, one more time
Resolved
1.) Am hoping to see an article from Time Magazine: Vol. 73 from 1959, Author: Henry Robinson Luce. The reference I have does not include an actual article title nor specific page numbers, but page 65 of that volume is within the article I need (which is regarding the
Cecil Kelley criticality accident).
2.) Also: my pleas for access to the 1961 Health Physics article from last month on this topic have still gone unanswered (see Feb. 2011, above) but the desire remains and my hopes are not yet gone-- does no one have access to old issues of Health Physics?? Thank you! KDS4444Talk 01:03, 2 March 2011 (UTC)reply

Our article on
Elihu Embree currently states that The Emancipator was the "first newspaper in the United States devoted exclusively to the cause of abolishing slavery." It is sourced to
this article. A new editor has challenged this assertion stating that The Philantropist was actually the first. Can someone with JSTOR access take a look at the JSTOR article in order to settle this dispute? Thanks!

I can get a scan for you in a couple of days. In case the page numbering for my library's copy is different - you want the section "The Far South" in the chapter Emerging Regional Conflagrations, c. 600-1200 CE, right?

Great! Yes, it is the two pages prior to the heading "Religious and political symbolism in the Tanjavur temple", in the section you refer to. As far as I can tell, there is only one edition but let's hope that is correct - I wouldn't want you to be going on some needle/haystack hunt. The entire farrago escalated to ANI today & resulted in a temp block + a two day page protection, so the timing will be perfect.

Hmm, I'm not sure that's true. There's a "What's New" page
[20] which says that the dictionary is updated four times a year (latest June 2011) and has a list of new words. I think the timeline shows when the words were coined rather than when they were added to the dictionary. (A word might have been first used 50 years ago but only added to the OED this month.)
GabrielF (

Sitush (

Perhaps so. I think I've figured out the apparent discrepancy. The timeline shows the date of first uses, not the date of addition to the dictionary.
[21][22] The words added this year were first used long ago.
[23] The newest words are from 2004, though new words coined earlier have been added. The lesson is that they don't add words that are newer than six years. Will Bebacktalk 00:46, 24 June 2011 (UTC)reply
