Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited John Angus Campbell, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Career Day. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:07, 2 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Svenska Dagbladet

Hi Solomon! Can you help with this please: Wikipedia:WikiProject_Resource_Exchange/Resource_Request#Svenska_Dagbladet. Thanks a lot, – Doc TaxonTalk23:35, 31 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Unfortunately, I don't seem to have access to Svenska Dagbladet from that date. I'll try poking at the website a little to see if I can get it that way, but if that doesn't work, I can request an ILL in about a week. Solomon Ucko (talk) 00:08, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

Jennifer Lynne Michael: The Ring of Voices

edit

Hi Solomon, Doc Taxon told me that I could ask you. I am looking for this book: The ring of voices : rounds from Anglo-American tradition / by Jennifer Lynne Michael. Dissertation. Thesis (M.A. in Folklore)--University of California, Berkeley, Dec. 1988. As far as I can see, it is only available in U.S. libraries, as in the Berkeley Library catalogue: https://search.library.berkeley.edu/permalink/01UCS_BER/1thfj9n/alma991018902249706532. Obviously it has been digitized, see GoogleBooks (https://books.google.de/books/about/The_Ring_of_Voices.html?id=kmFOAQAAMAAJ&redir_esc=y) and Hathitrust (https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/100891214.marc), but I can only get Snippets resp. Search Results from Germany. Do you see any chance that I could read it? It would be very useful for the German Wikipedia article de:Hejo, spann den Wagen an (the song is known as Hey ho, nobody home in England and America). --Mautpreller (talk) 19:28, 14 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Please ask on WP:RX in case someone else has better access, and I'll reply with what I can find on Google Books, HathiTrust, and elsewhere, including content and page numbers; if it's been a few days and the replies don't provide everything you're looking for, ping me, and I'll request a scan of the relevant pages via inter-library loan.

Question

edit

Colleague, I have a question: how can I make a citation and what should I write in the templates using these 4 one-page papers from Wikipedia:WikiProject Resource Exchange/Resource Request/Archive_167#Sources about Anton Çelebi? With respect, Smpad (talk) 23:39, 28 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

Good question, colleague. Here's what I'd do for the first one, for example; for the others, you can change the first line and leave the rest the same:
{{cite conference

And if you decide to use the session abstract:

Thank you so much, colleague! With great respect, Smpad (talk) 16:44, 29 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
Colleague, I have a question regarding specifying pages in {{sfnp}} with those one-page papers. What to do about it? With respect, Smpad (talk) 23:19, 29 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
You're welcome, colleague! You can specify p. 1, but it might be better to just omit the page number. Best, Solomon Ucko (talk) 23:42, 29 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
If I write simply {{sfnp|Yavuzer|2023}} (like here [1]), then it does not connect to the publication in the sources section. With respect, Smpad (talk) 00:03, 1 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
@Smpad: It looks like you swapped the first and last name in the full citation; I think the first name is Gamze and the last name is Yavuzer. Making that change seems to fix it. With respect, Solomon Ucko (talk) 00:11, 1 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you, colleague! Without you I would not have noticed my mistake. With respect, Smpad (talk) 00:16, 1 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Bolivian sources

edit

Greetings, Nevado Sajama isn't an article I am currently working on but do you perchance have access to either "Galarza, I.M. 2004. Geología y petrología del volcán Sajama, Provincia Sajama, Departamento de Oruro. Tesis de grado Facultad de Ciencias Geológicas, Universidad Mayor de San Andrés, La Paz, (inédito), 118 p" or Geología y petrología del volcán Sajama: Provincia Sajama, departamento de Oruro / Iris Marcela Galarza Mauri; Tutor Nestor Jiménez? It's the only two substantial sources on that volcano that I have ever heard of. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 15:22, 15 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

@Jo-Jo Eumerus: Those seem to refer to the same thing? I did some quick searching and don't seem to have access to this at all, and an ILL librarian at my university told me that Latin American libraries don't tend to even respond to ILL requests, much less fulfill them. Sorry.
Solomon Ucko (talk) 04:26, 17 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
To be honest, I was never sure whether these two were distinct. But if ILL requests aren't done on Bolivian libraries... Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 07:50, 17 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Good start. Right now it is written in a way that is only informative to specialists and substitutes internal links for the explanatory text that it needs. So needs much prose development. Happy editing!

Commons

edit

Any reason to keep this on enwiki rather than moving it to Commons? DS (talk) 16:54, 17 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Good question. My reason was that due to the informality of the copyright/license statement, I wasn't completely sure how to classify its copyright/license status, and Wikipedia has slightly laxer rules about copyright than Commons due to Wikipedia's fair use exception. But if you think its copyright/license situation is good enough, feel free to move it to Commons.
For reference, here is what the book says: "This guide is not copyright. Users are free to reproduce part or all of it as they wish. The goal of this entire Project has been, and continues to be, to improve as much as possible the access of all citizens to a basic resource for the study of Maryland's history--her newspapers."
