Two additional/duplicate OCLC numbers for this publication:
74640148 and
634045424.
I've been trying to obtain this publication for a while now. ILL via my university was unsuccessful due to no available lenders. About 10 libraries have a copy of the item, all of them in Germany except for one in Switzerland and one in the Netherlands. I'm in the United States so I'm unable to visit them. The publication is in microfiche format, which makes things more complicated. I'd love to obtain the full publication, but I'd also be pretty happy with just the Results section and/or pages with graphs/tables on them. I'd be willing to pay/reimburse for the trouble. Needless to say, would be extremely grateful to finally obtain this publication.

Pōmare III. It is an encyclopedic volume of biographies of figures in French Polynesian history. It would useful to see if there is an index or table of content listing all the figures mentioned in this text so I can reference it more in the future with other works.

GIS dataset of the 2011 administrative boundaries of India
{{stale}}
I'm aware that this is a somewhat unusual request, but that sort of data is sometimes provided by academic libraries (anybody have access to
Harvard or
Yale?), and I need it in order to create a series of language maps to be used in articles (beginning with
thesetwo). There is a relevant dataset at gadm.org, but the boundaries there don't always correspond to the ones at the time of the census (so I can't really pair it up with the census data). I'm particularly interested in administrative boundaries below the district level (i.e. tehsils/taluqs), as I already havea access (from
[17]) to the corresponding dataset for the district level. If anyone obtains a copy, please check that the terms of use allow sharing in this form. Thanks! –

FourViolas has offered to be contacted directly for Harvard resources, so you might leave a message on their talk page, but they only edit once every few months these days, so I wouldn't count on a timely response. Probably your best option, although it will, unfortunately, be somewhat time-intensive, is to scour
Category:Wikipedians by alma mater: Harvard University and
Category:Wikipedians by alma mater: Yale University and ask anyone who edits somewhat regularly if they have access. (Those categories include both current and former students, so you might check their user page before asking to see if they say whether or not they're graduates or current students; I doubt former students will have access, although I don't know about those institutions' policies specifically.) If you're really desperate, you could also ask
Category:Wikipedian university teachers, although that category doesn't distinguish by institution and most people don't say where they teach on their user pages, so that's probably a crapshoot. —

Abstract: This datalayer shows Sub-District (Tahsil/Taluka) boundaries of India for 2001. Includes Sub-District socio-demographic Census attribute data such as total population, population by sex, rural/urban populations, household, literacy, and employment statistics. This layer is part of the IndiaMap dataset which includes socio-demographic and economic Census data for 2001 at the State, District, Sub-District, and Town levels. This data layer is sourced from secondary government sources, chiefly Survey of India, Census of India, Election Commission, etc. Scale 1:1,000,000. Purpose: These data are intended for researchers, students, and policy makers for reference and mapping purposes, and may be used for basic applications such as viewing, querying, and map output production.

I was waiting to receive a reply to my email to

In short, I don't know for sure if that dataset has what I'm looking for (if it's got the language data from the census that will be great, if not, then I'll need to look for it from another source, as I wasn't able to find district-level language data for 2001 from the census website). If that doesn't work out, I'll follow the suggestions of
Compassionate727 (thanks for that – these are really helpful). Still, before starting to approach individual editors, I was hoping this thread could stay open for a bit, in case somebody comes up with access to the resource (as I don't think it would be restricted to Harvard and Yale). –

Hello. I'm looking for whether

1964 event in Los Angeles.
Witchia State says she was in the 1968 event in Los Angeles for the hurdles event. I assume the 1968 one is correct because the 1968 Olympics were held in Mexico City. However,
this website doesn't have her at any of the listed above events and years. I want to verify that she did compete at least one of these years/events, as the sources say she didn't qualify. She might be under the name Linda Adams. Newspapers.com / Newspapersarchive.com aren't helping me. Thank you!

MrLinkinPark333: Adams may be conflating a Youth Olympic Program in which she competed, in June 1964, at
Fort Hays State College, in the 12-14 year old category, with the 1968 Olympic Trials. 1968 is correct. There's a poorly reproduced wire photo of Linda Adams and four other women, with the caption: "Besides offering an outstanding display of athletic ability, this weekend's women's track and field Olympic Trials at
Mt. San Antonio College will present an assortment of very beautiful young ladies. Five of those, left to right, Donna Beckstrom of Torrance; Jennifer Inskeep of Topeka, Kan.; Dee DeBusk of Los Angeles; Linda Adams of Topeka and Jenda Jones of Lubbock, Tex., will compete in sprints".[1]
The
track and field website lists only one of the above five, DeBusk, for the 100 m sprint, but the author writes, "I covered the final results only." From this I surmise that the other four pictured didn't advance to the final heat of eight. It's possible that Adams competed in other events that the newspaper doesn't mention and didn't advance to the finals of any of them, so isn't on the track and field website.
Interestingly, the same photo appeared elsewhere a week before, with the caption: "All five of these attractive blondes are competitors in the 100 meter dash in the AAU Women's Track and Field Championships being held in Denver. Left to right ... Only Miss De Busk (center) was able to come up a winner in her heat of the 100 meter dash. But all five win the looks and charm department".[2] If all this isn't enough of a sign of the times, the Joplin Globe printed the photo adjacent to a story titled "British Athletes Agree ... Big Bosoms Could Prove Difference In Close Sprint Races in Olympics."

I see @
Worldbruce: I did find that Beauty and ability article before but not the AAU Championship one. I'll have to debate whether I should cite these articles or the two college ones above. Thanks for digging them up! --

Lesley A. Jacobs article
Hello, I am looking for Lesley A. Jacobs's article "The Second Wave of Analytical Marxism", for use at
The Cambridge Companion to Marx. Publication details: Philosophy of the Social Sciences, Volume 26, Issue 2, pages 279-292.
ISSN0048-3931. There is a relevant link
here.
Vyacheslav84, I do not understand your request. The thesis concerned (312 leaves!) is - obviously - not something that can be supplied. Also, the introduction to this page clearly states that "We cannot perform full book copy requests due to copyright. Please ask for specific pages that relate to the article(s) you need them for". —

Pajz, I need conclusions or a conclusion. In terms of the result of the author of the form "as a result of my analysis, I draw such and such conclusions." I do not see the table of contents in that work, so I can’t say what pages there are. Well, ideally, a general description of the methodologies would be nice along with the conclusion. --

@
Bruce1ee and
Vyacheslav84: I'm still here, although not logging in daily like I used to. I saw this the first time around, although I guess I should have left some kind of confirmation of that. In any case, I regret that I'll (almost certainly) take next semester off from college to stabilize my numerous health problems, so I'll lose access to ILL, which means I won't be able to request this. I hope someone else can pick this up. —

Science article behind paywall
{{stale}}
I
added a little bit to the article
Garlock Fault using info in a couple news articles, both relying on a newly-published Science journal article (
abstract URL). I included an inline reference for it. If someone who could access the Science article just to verify the content I added to the Garlock Fault article, that would be appreciated. A scholarly article is a much better reference in a science Wikipedia article than local news. I'm not particularly interested in adding much more to the fault article, so I don't need a copy of it, mainly just want someone to verify (if necessary, change ref's "pages" parameter to "page" if verified on one page or "at" if on non-sequential pages separated by comma). Thanks.

TBH I'm a little surprised to read that "RX is not a place to let others check". Not everyone in every country has access to every source, and I think people should ask for copies of sources to check if the text on Wikipedia reflects what the sources say.

@
WhisperToMe: They can acquire copies for the purposes of verifying citations. At least by my understanding, that sentence means that you can't ask that we check the citations. We'll give you what you need to do so, but we won't go back and forth between tabs and pages cross-referencing information for you. —

Ok! That makes sense. I have done RX requests where I ask for particular pages for particular reasons but I understand that I'm the one who is to look at the pages and verify myself. Usually the information is straightforward and the average joe is more than capable of doing it anyway.

The 1985 edition doesn't have an entry for Martha Peckard, but refers you to Martha Ferrar on page 125. Ferrar must be her maiden name. —
