Access to a major Australian dictionary; Macquarie or AND
I am looking for access to a major Australian dictionary (Macquarie or Australian National Dictionary preferred, but I will consider others as long as it is not online-only or crowd-sourced) in an effort to ascertain whether the term 'defrocked' or 'laicised' is more appropriate in the context of a Catholic priest being stripped of his right to conduct a church service. While I'm not particularly fussed about exact edition, it should be somewhat recent to help establish modern usage pattern.
Thanks,

Wikimail me and I'll send you the definitions of 'defrocked' and 'laicised'. I take it that is what you're after. —

Australian Oxford Dictionary does not offer a recommendation on preferred option, so I would still like input from Macquarie or AND. Hence, I won't mark it resolved just yet, but will do so if there are no further responses in a day or two.

Melmann, The Australian national dictionary: Australian words and their origins, 2nd edn 2016, has no entry on either of the two terms; Macquarie dictionary, 4th edn 2005, has entries on both, and I've sent you a copy. (The most recent - 7th - edn (2017) is currently tagged as "in acquisition" in our library catalogue, and thus might become available here in a couple of weeks, but I do not currently have access to it; if you need a more recent edition, someone else might be able to help.) —

A pamphlet by Trotsky
"The Role and Tasks of the Trade Unions", with a preface dated December 25, 1920. Authored by
Leon Trotsky on behalf of “a number of responsible workers”.
Also, the pamphlet was a slightly edited version of a 'preliminary draft of theses' entitled The trade unions and their future role per
this. The latter (written in Russian) will suffice for me and may be located at Tenth Party Congress, app.10, p.786 per
this.

Tovarishch Timbo, who, if he can't source it for you, may know why it's not at

But if it's in either of those I should be able to scan for you (depending on how long it takes to dig the bloody things out). In the meantime,
Blades, I've sent you something you linked too. Remember to check boîte de spam.
——SerialNumber54129 11:57, 28 June 2019 (UTC)reply
Ooo, a Trotsky bibliography question: nice! I take it from this page that you are trying to locate a copy of this pamphlet, yes? Opening statement: for all the Trotsky works published, shelves of them, not all the early stuff is accessible and certainly not all of it is translated. After 1929 the situation is much better. But you know that. Okay, first I'll dig out Sinclair... Thank you for that date of the intro, that makes the process easy... Sinclair has it listed as 210000(13) Rol' i zadachi professionalnykh soiuzov with seven reprints up to 1922, all Russian pamphlet editions it would seem. German translations to something listed as RussKor (1921) and RussRund (1922). I'm seeing no evidence that it has ever been reprinted after 1922, nor any translation into English via Inprecorr, which sucks. That bibliography was published in 1989, so there is a chance of a post-Soviet period reissue, but I would not bank on it. Carr could be counted on for at least a summary if it was after 1923, when his detail started to get finer. Sorenson Life and Death of Soviet Trade Unionism only lists English titles by Trotsky in the bibliography, plus the (incomplete) Russian Sochineniia, which probably does not include it or it would have showed up there in Sinclair. Nor did it run in serial in Pravda, seemingly, which would be another way to get there through microfilm. Awww, hell, lemme check Carr just to be sure... There's a ton of coverage of soviet unions (The Bolshevik Revolution, 1917-1923: Volume 2 is where to look, but the index for that is at the end of vol. 3) but nothing obviously relating to the pamphlet you seek. I struck out running the title at MIA as well, but didn't really expect to find it there given the rarity of the item and lack of post-1922 reprints. Last hope is a Russian search... Hmmm, that's not a zero at least. WorldCat shows four holdings of the 1920 edition (
https://www.worldcat.org/title/rol-i-zadachi-professionalnykh-soiuzov-k-10-mu-sezdu-partii/oclc/123222135&referer=brief_results) with Stanford having actually committed the 32-page pamphlet to microfilm (
https://searchworks.stanford.edu/?q=123222135) -- this film also being held by Oxford University, it would seem. That's about $100 to obtain through their microforms department, as far as I know they are still selling film but many institutions have now stopped. Also one copy of the 1921 edition in existence at Cambridge. Some remote chance you could get it cheaper than that from Stanford as a pdf dub of film. Some even more remote chance I will make it to Stanford this summer to play and could scan it up if I do, as long as you remind me.
P.S. This appears to have been a pamphlet written FOR the 10th Party Congress. Full title: Rolʹ i zadachi professionalʹnykh soi︠u︡zov. - K 10-mu sʹezdy partii.Carrite (

Thanks
Carrite, much appreciate the thorough probing. Is the post-1929 stuff more easily available because it was out of Stalin's reach then? @
Winged Blades of Godric:, emailed you again.
——SerialNumber54129 16:10, 28 June 2019 (UTC)reply
Serial Number 54129, I wouldn't phrase it exactly like that, but that's the idea. He was in exile, everything he wrote was carefully preserved and generally published by his followers, and there was no worry about censorship vanishing material. This is why Pathfinder's Writings of Leon Trotsky starts with 1929 and runs through his murder in 1940, while the earlier material is very thin in depth of coverage and is generally limited to published books, rather than speeches and pamphlets. Even the two volumes of his (partial, not completed) Sochineniia [Collected Works] for 1917 haven't been translated or republished even today -- except for the very famous long intro, Lessons of October. It's a weird situation, in which the later material is more or less totally available while some of the earlier stuff is STILL virtually "lost."

Carrite (
Winged Blades of Godric), ok, so I didn't have much time but I did check and as far as I could see, there is a digital version available (again, I don't speak Russian, but the title on the front cover matches the one you mentioned, so I suppose I was looking at the right thing). I browsed through it using some sort of custom viewer, however, I saw no way to initiate a download and/or print it out. I thought perhaps it's possible to take a screenshot using Windows' Snipping Tool, but the feature is inaccessible on the machine and, aside from that, I don't know how I would proceed from there anyway as I'm apparently not allowed to use a USB flash drive and the rest of the internet is inaccessible from the computer. I'm going to email the library's Eastern Europe department and ask if they know of a way to create a copy, but I'm not very hopeful. —

Vyacheslav84, IOR =

this catalogue entry (National Defence University Library Islamabad). I haven't found any other record. Unless someone here who occasionally visits the British Library can help (or someone has a better idea), if I were you I would just write a short email to library staff in Islamabad and ask them if there's any way to order a copy because you need it for Wikipedia but unfortunately cannot find it anywhere.

It is not available on the internet, as far as I can see. I was just inviting opinions on whether that is indeed the work that the iranicaonline.org article refers to (I'm not sure it is) -- perhaps someone reading along knows more. (The Historical and Political Gazetteer of Afghanistan is available in my library, so that is something I could help with.) —

Well, can you send me these pages Gazetteer of Afghanistan VI, p. 333 and Gazetteer of Afghanistan V, pp. 242-46 by email? --

Constantine: The full article appears to be at academia.edu
here (scroll down to read).
Academia.edu is a paper-sharing website, so I don't know how legal this copy is. —

Thanks a lot
Bruce1ee, I don't know how I missed it despite searching for half an hour... It appears to have been uploaded by the author, so it's fine.

Greetings, has someone access to this chapter?

Nevada place names : a geographical dictionary and Index to the geographical names of Nevada
Greetings, are there any chapters in
[55] and/or
[56] that deal with "Lunar Crater", "Lunar Lake", "Bea's Crater", "Easy Chair", "Marcath"? For
Lunar Crater volcanic field
@
Jo-Jo Eumerus: Google Books has nothing for any of those results for
Nevada place names (nothing hidden behind the omitted pages either). I don't have access to the Index to the geographical names of Nevada --

This is probably a better link to the same title at archive.org. —

OK, it seems like none of these standard sources discuss the placenames. Oh well. Thanks for the help.

Google Books. If the link doesn't provide you the pages you require, please specify which pages you need. As Pajz said above, we cannot provide the full book though. --

Pajz,
MrLinkinPark333: Thank you! It seems I misunderstood the scope of the word "scan" there. I bought a copy of the book and found some other complementary sources through academic subscription. --

MrLinkinPark333, could you clarify the page range? The book has 290 pages. Are you requesting pages 211 through 290? Or the rest of the chapter/section/...? —

My mistake, the link was just the abstract. The full text is now here thanks for your help --[E.3][chat2][me] 07:12, 8 August 2019 (UTC)reply
Sorry, I can't find that one. I have access to "Journal of Clinical Oncology 37 (15)", but not "Journal of Clinical Oncology 37 (15_suppl)". —
Bruce1eetalk 07:43, 8 August 2019 (UTC)reply
E.3, re #2: The full text is available through your link because the abstract is the full text. 37.2019,15_suppl is part of a sub-series titled "JCO Meeting Abstracts" and collects abstracts related to the 2019 ASCO Annual Meeting I (see
here). Even with access to ascopubs.org, there's nothing more to see, as you can also confirm by taking a look at the "page" before and the "page" following: "Page" 4009 is
doi:
10.1200/JCO.2019.37.15_suppl.4009, "page" 4011 is
doi:
10.1200/JCO.2019.37.15_suppl.4011. (In reality, these are not page numbers but abstract numbers, see
https://abstracts.asco.org/239/AbstView_239_265245.html.) Meeting abstracts will often be followed at some later point by a publication, but that one is not it. —
