Wikipedia:WikiProject Resource Exchange/Resource Request

Shortcuts

The Resource Request is where you can request information on a subject or request a specific article, if you lack a source for a Wikipedia article.

Instructions & tips:

A request can be an open question for more information on a specific subject, or you can ask for a specific article or work you have a reference for but lack the full text of. The resulting article or data will be emailed to you.
All kinds of sources are possible here: any newspaper or magazine article, searches in a commercial full-text newspaper or journal databases, searches in academic journal databases, encyclopedia articles, court decisions, laws, academic publishings or research results, biographies, etc.
To place a request: start a new section at the bottom of the 'New requests' section and sign with your username or leave your email address. Request specific titles, dates, or a combination of search keywords. You may also specify which database or work to search in. Add as much detail as possible, it speeds up the whole process.
Once a request has been fulfilled, add a note to that effect to the request, so that the work won't be duplicated. The request will then be moved to the 'Filled request' section.
It's also best to keep an eye on your request on this page. Questions and remarks will be posted in your request section.
Anyone whose library provides access to a relevant database or to an extensive (academic) archive, or anyone who has a personal collection of resources can fulfill requests.

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.

Google searches suggest that the dates 1699-1753 are probably wrong: being actually the birth and death dates for one of the people Graincourt painted, Bertrand-François Mahé de La Bourdonnais. For example, see this biography of Mahé at Biographie.net ("né à Saint-Malo le 11 février 1699 et mort à Paris le 10 novembre 1753") or this museum page from a museum that has Mahé's portrait in its collection, and attributes the 1699-1753 dates to Graincourt, not Mahé. Google also turned up one source for Graincourt completing a painting after 1753: a copy of Hyacinthe Rigaud's portrait of the Marechal de Tourville; the copy is said to have been made in 1780-82

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! WikiJedits (talk) 15:02, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

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 [1]. I find no support for 1699 ([2]); 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.

Folklore of Assam by Jogesh Das

I am looking at the contributions of what seems to be an individual with copyright difficulties dating back some time. Several articles, created as recently as today, are verifiably pasted from previously published web pages, but this contributor has several times cited to the above book. For example: Assamese kinship. Originally published in 1972, this book has been frequently republished by the National Book Trust (a 2000 paperback carries the ISBN of 8123701454) I'm hoping to find somebody who can access to the book to compare the text in that specific article to see if it infringes.

Ányos Jedlik and the Dynamo

The dynamo article has a claim that it was invented by Anyos Jedlik. This has been labelled as dubious. This book,

Andrew L. Simon, Made in Hungary: Hungarian contributions to universal culture, p207, Simon Publications LLC, 1998 ISBN 0966573420

makes the same claim and contains in its bibliography the paper,

GK Cwierawa, "Ányos Jedlik-wengierski pioner elektrotechniki", Kwartalnik Historiki Nauk i Techniki, No 2, 1971

which I assume is the source of Simon's information. I am not looking for a copy of the whole paper (I don't read Hungarian anyway) merely the citation for Jedlik's original publication of his work (assuming that there is one). Thanks. SpinningSpark 13:32, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There doesn't seem to be a citation in the article.--droptone (talk) 21:02, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that, please leave it up until user Edison has seen it as well who is also interested. I am surprised you have it in English, presumably that is a translation not the original? SpinningSpark 02:10, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's from Made in Hungary..., not the original Hungarian article.--droptone (talk) 07:47, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh I see, in that case you have misunderstood, I can already read Made in Hungary on google books preview. It does in fact have a source (although not inline in the text, it's on page 404) which I have quoted above. What we are trying to do is trace the source of Simon's claim since we doubt it is true. I am looking for the Hungarian paper he quotes, not the book itself. Even that is not the end of it since a 1971 paper author could not possibly have direct experience of an 1828 event, that paper itself must have had a source which is what I am ultimately trying to establish. SpinningSpark 10:00, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Seems it went unpublished:

His experimental machine made in 1861 had a special feature of technological importance; namely, the principle of self-excitation, in other words, the dynamo principle first appeared in the operating instructions Jedlik wrote for this machine. This machine was only used as a demonstration device, and Jedlik did not publish the new construction.[5]

citing Verebely (1931), "Ányos Jedlik A Hungarian Pioneer of Electricity", Elektrotechnika 24, pp. 213-26 and Singer, H., and Hall, W. (1958), A History of Technology, vol. V, part 2.10, p. 187. Apparently the operating instructions appeared in an inventory for the university. The "1828 event" you mention is i think one of 292 experiments listed in 1829 which concludes: "an electromagnetic wire can create continuous rotating movement around a similarly electromagnetic wire", a DC motor w/ commutator, not a dynamo.—eric 16:17, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

One user has inserted claims in several articles tht Jedlik invented the electric motor, the electric motor with electromagnets for the stationary and rotating parts along with the commutator, the electric vehicle, and several other things. I have asked in the Electric motor talk page for a good reference showing what year he publicly demonstrated and published any such inventions, and have not gotten a satisfactory response. A photo of a museum model is shown in the article, which is claimed to be from 1828, with many modern features, but with uncertain provenance. There are many cases of museums having illustrative models constructed in modern times, but falsely claimed to be the device constructed many years earlier. The above sounds like there was an inventory at the university dating to 1861, which is the first documentation, if not publication. This is a pretty weak claim, given that others had published publicly demonstrated, been written up in the scientific and popular press and taken out patents for "electromagnetic wire rotating around electromagnetic wire" long before 1861. A college teacher could be expected to build demo devices to illustrate what was going on ion the field, and it is too easy to attribute decades of developments to the first year Jedlik did any demo of electromagnetism in his classes, back in 1828 or whenever. It sounds like a backdated claim. More translation of what he wrote, and clear statement of when he wrote it, is essential to understand Jedlik's role. Recent web pages or popular articles which simply assert, without references, that Jedlik "invented the electric motor in 1828" are not convincing when other claimants have lots of public presentation of their work at the actual time of their inventions. Edison (talk) 16:43, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think we need to try and convince anyone here at the library. We just need to say what documents we want them to go find. SpinningSpark 18:23, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So you are looking for #290 from an 1829 notebook which details 292 experiments used as demonstrations in his classes for the motor, and an 1861 university inventory that contains operating instructions for the dynamo. Or is it enough to show that he did not publish on either?—eric 22:52, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

New York Public Library has the whole paper on microfilm. And since the paper was only published between Sept. 12, 1966 and May 5, 1967, it would probably be ezsy for someone living in new york to go to the library and go true the whole paper.The Ministry (talk) 14:04, 1 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Does that work?--droptone (talk) 18:21, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello thanks for looking it up! In 1975 they still listed the Tabasco as the hottest? Dang, I should have been more specific earlier about what I was looking for. I'm looking for confirmation that the siling labuyo was listed at one time in the Guinness Book of World Records as the hottest chili pepper. What you gave would have worked otherwise. I've heard lots of anecdotal evidence to suggest it was at one time and if the tabasco was listed I'm pretty sure the siling labuyo was too since it is hotter. In case you or anyone else is still willing to take another look-see it should appear in a year before it starts listing the habanero pepper as the hottest. The animal with the largest eyes relative to its body size should be the tarsier. Thanks again! Lambanog (talk) 18:22, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Completion of bibliographic information

As identified on the talk page of NCAT Pavement Test Track, the bibliographic information for about ten sources is incomplete, namely lacking the title and author's name, which should be addressed. We do, however, have page numbers. The creator of the article seems to have left the project immediately after "completing" his educational assignment. Since at least some of the article was copy/pasted, it would also be good to check those sources (those without public web archives) against the original version of the article for copy/pasted text that may not already be out of the article by now. The article also needs a free photo and I am not sure who to ask. The public USGS imagery on MSR Maps (formerly known as TerraServer) is from around 1950, way too old to see the track.
