Jackie Magazines Issue 1535
Hey - I need an interview from the magazine Jackie. It is number 1535 - Thursday 3 June 1993. The interview is withFelice Arena. I know they are collectable so I was thinking that maybe someone has the issue - or it could be available for research purposes. I'm not sure if it is a longshot, but if anyone could help it would be great. Rain  the 1  03:18, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

isda master agreements
hi, does anyone have access to http://lib.myilibrary.com/detail.asp?ID=266406 (Mastering the ISDA master agreements (1992 and 2002) : a practical guide for negotiation). i'd be interested in chapter 2 ("the evolution of the isda master agreement," 12 pages), chapter 6 ("credit issues relating to the isda master agreement", 14 pages) and chapter 10 ("the credit crunch", 7 pages) (page numbers according to the table of contents of the print edition). thanks in advance, —Pill (talk) 19:15, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Verification of reliability
The article on Jayne Mansfield has the following content.

Can someone verify the following part of it?

If the marriage certificate is true, then almost all the biographers are wrong. That's serious.

I don't have access to the certificate and have no clue of its credibility.

BTW, I have already posted this to help desk, village pump, and Wikiprojecr Fact and Reference Check... no success so far. Aditya (talk • contribs) 03:36, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't have access to archives.com. I do have access to ancestry.com, but I could not find a marriage record. Reading through ancestry'sguide to Texas marriage records, it seems that statewide Texas records begin in 1966, which casts some doubt on the cited source, but it is possible that ancestry just doesn't have as much in its database as archives.com. It would be helpful if the user who found this record could produce a PDF that I could look at. Generally, wikipedia would not use a primary source document like this, even if it contradicts other sources. If this is just a textual record, rather than a scan of a document (as is very likely) than it is very possible that there was a typographical error in typing up the document. GabrielF (talk) 04:17, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks. But, seriously, it needs to be checked. If no one has any access to the source, it needs to be removed. Aditya (talk • contribs) 11:47, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Just because editors who patrol this board doesn't have access to the source doesn't mean it needs to be removed. That's a really poor argument. OhanaUnitedTalk page 22:58, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi! For Hitoshi Doi I would like to find:
 * ✅ Wilner, Norman. "Anime fest invades Toronto." Toronto Star. June 18, 1999. Entertainment Start Page 1
 * Also I would like to find the following television episode: Undercurrents Season 2, Show 8 Original Telecast: Nov. 22/1996
 * Specifically this segment: "Otaku Producer: Adrian Callender Reporter: Todd Southgate One extreme form of obsession with technology is the information junkie. They are people actually in love with information, and they first came to light in Japan, according to Todd Southgate."
 * — Preceding unsigned comment added by WhisperToMe (talk • contribs)

 * Undercurrents may be hard to get; I don't see it on YouTube, Amazon, or a number of torrent sites I checked. Maybe you'd be better off finding a relevant episode in Japanorama, which is easy to get via torrent? (And probably more in depth, too.) --Gwern (contribs) 14:23 7 April 2012 (GMT)

Wagner Braille
Am interested in viewing a copy of Electrical Design News, Vol. 11, from 1966 by Rogers Pub. Co. (web page HERE) for information about who or what "Wagner Braille" is and what he/ it has to do with front curtains (the article on which I am working on a complete overhaul of and want to be as thorough as possible). Any assistance? Thank you! KDS 4444 Talk  05:17, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, this and this suggests that a "braille curtain" is also called an "Austrian drape" or a "Vienna curtain", after the design in the Imperial Opera House there, so used in Wagner, Mahler and many other composers' operas. LeadSongDog come howl!  19:45, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Original Source for Greenspan remark
I'm looking for the original sources of these two quotes by Alan Greenspan: Smallman12q (talk) 23:13, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
 * "If you understood what I said, I must have misspoke", businessweek source
 * "If I made myself clear, I have misspoken.", U.S.News & World Report source
 * Seen quoted here and here dated 22 Feb 2005, citing "from the archives" without saying which archives. LeadSongDog come howl!  22:38, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I found an article from 1995, which states "Its chairman, Alan Greenspan, is notorious for his ability to speak at length without saying anything intelligible. He even jokes at congressional hearings about his opacity, saying, in effect, 'If you understood me, I must have misspoken .' " I've also found it quoted by yahoo, washington post, financial express. I'd still like to get the original sources...they're excellent quotes=P.Smallman12q (talk) 01:27, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
 * The fact that the St. Petersburg Times article says that Greenspan said "in effect, 'If you understand me, I must have misspoken.'" leads me to believe that Greenspan never actually said those words and that someone later misinterpreted the article and thought it was a direct quote. FWIW I searched LexisNexis and the Congressional Record for anything containing Greenspan and "misspoke" or "misspoken" and that was the first reference that St. Petersburg Times article was the earliest reference that came up. GabrielF (talk) 02:04, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I've done a bit more digging. Numerous sources indicate that Greenspan made the following statement: "I guess I should warn you if I turn out to be particularly clear, you've probably misunderstood what I said." in 1988 during a speech to the Economic Club of New York. The NPR show Marketplace played an audio clip of Greenspan saying those words on January 30 2006 You can listen by following this link and clicking on "Saying goodbye to Greenspan" There is a document of a June 14 1988 speech to the Economic Club on the St. Louis Fed's website . It doesn't contain the quote - I'm guessing that it wasn't part of his prepared remarks, just something that he said to warm up the audience. GabrielF (talk) 03:16, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. I've also looked at Alan_Greenspan so it may be that the others are misattributed. This document references the quote to "Eggins, Suzanne, and Diana Slade. Analyzing Casual Conversation. London: Cassell, 1997."

A 2005 NYT article mentions "I guess I should warn you, if I turn out to be particularly clear, you've probably misunderstood what I said." It's nice that you found the sound clip, as it means he actually said it. An original source would still be best.

Wikiquote also mentions "Since becoming a central banker, I have learned to mumble with great incoherence. If I seem unduly clear to you, you must have misunderstood what I said." If the original source for that could be found for that, that'd be great. Smallman12q (talk) 13:11, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Immigration to Israel (1957) by Moshe Sicron
I think I want the sections of this book:

that give the exact aliyah numbers for Jews from various countries before 1948.

It doesn't seem to me that the Samoan Fono a Faipule was much of a legislature so much as an advisory body. Elections in this era also seemed to be very limited in terms of who can vote. I don't know what your standards are for deciding what constitutes an election.GabrielF (talk) 22:48, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

I already knew about that article, I know as well that the Fono was only an advisory body. A request to a German national living in Samoa answered most of the question: There were no western-style election there, but rather discussions among the matai to choose representative.

Nadar Hermaphrodite book
[Moving this over from the talk page to make it easier for me to keep track of. GabrielF (talk) 18:31, 14 August 2012 (UTC)] Is there something, like the RX, for requesting book sources, perhaps scans or another editor to use the work to expand an article? I'm considering bringing Hermaphrodite (Nadar) (caution, NSFW) to FA class, and there is a book from Creaphis which looks to be useful. However, ordering it where I live would set me back close to 60 dollars (which is, quite frankly, not something I'll spend) and libraries here would most certainly not hold it.

 * Erik Parrent, USS Pennsylvania (BB-38), Paducah, KY: Turner Publishing, 1999.
 * Clifton Bledsoe Cates, War history of the U.S.S. Pennsylvania BB (38), Ship's Welfare Fund, 1946.

To be clear, I don't expect to get anything, but I'd rather not spend ~$80 on Parrant's book, and Cates is impossible to find... hoping for a miracle. :-) Thanks! Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 09:07, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
 * My library has the Cates book. I can probably get you scans in September. Are there particular sections that you're interested in or the whole book? Its only 65 pages so scanning the whole book is possible. GabrielF (talk) 02:46, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I missed your reply, which is terrible of me considering what you're offering. Scanning the whole book would be preferable – I'm working on User:The ed17/Sandbox/Pennsylvania class battleship and am covering the entire history, not a specific year range. If you're short on time, you can skip anything during WWII because I can get other sources for that (surprise, scholars cover the wars well but peacetime not so much!). Thanks very much!

 * I think you should ask this question in WP:RD/E --Shrike (talk)/WP:RX 16:43, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Appreciate the quick reply, there is a dilemma though the few sources for such a "list" online are in discussion forums and they contradict each other or are incomplete (a certain team has none on one list and 2 or 3 on another!?!) so although group knowledge or anecdotal experiences may help, the big question remains does WB/Scranton only get blacked out for Eagles or also for Steelers and that editor says Jets too . . . its not really a consensus thing since tens of millions of dollars are riding on it and the League office (NFL) does enforce them completely along with the networks. An official list is really the only thing that matters with a question like this since the 100 or so satellite cities/micrometros on RD/E could be or couldn't be and there are league subparts to the rule (i.e. flex scheduling) that can make it appear that Scranton is Steelers when it is simply the Eagles play later in the day and it's only "territory" claim is solely Eagles.  Or is it Jets and Eagles?  Personal experience and anecdotal is what is available on Google and is leading to increased confusion.  To be open on this I did post the question there but again without it in black and white officially and completely can be tons of confusion.  Marketdiamond (talk) 17:02, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Maryana Marrash - Bint fikr (1893)
Hello everyone! I'm looking for this book: link 1, link 2. This book by Maryana Marrash was published during her lifetime, and the reference page from Googlebooks says her name is "Maryana bin Fath Allah bin Nasrallah bin Butrus Marrash", but I would like to see the real title page to make sure, or someone to confirm that, if possible, for I don't have access to either link, perhaps because I don't live in the US. Only seven or eight sources from Googlebooks from the 1990s and 2000s mention that name "Butrus" (which would be that of her great-grandfather, according to the rules of the traditional Arabic name). The problem is that she had a relative called Butrus, "son of Nasrallah", mentioned in the article, who might have been an uncle (since his father was Nasrallah), or&mdash;and only this source could make that hypothesis more plausible&mdash;her great-grandfather.

A book about Genealogy by Bruce Cartwright
I need a book about Hawaiian Genealogy authored by Bruce Cartwright and Geo. Awai. I have no idea what the title is but I know it contains information about the genealogy of the family of Isaac Davis (Hawaii) and it is located in the Hawaii State Archives in Honolulu, Hawaii. --KAVEBEAR (talk) 04:12, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
 * A search of their archives finds nothing about Issac Davis, though there are other works by Cartwright. A search of the genealogy indexes [sic] reveals nothing useful, nor does their genealogy book index (takes a while to load). Additionally, WorldCat provides several Hawaii-related works by Cartwright, but nothing about Davis. I'm providing these links in case you'd like to double check, since you know what you're looking for, but I haven't been able to find anything so far.

Cultural impact of extraterrestrial contact multiple journals
I am looking for materials that can be added to the Wikipedia article on the cultural impact of extraterrestrial contact. These derive from multiple sources, some which currently are in publication, others which are no longer published but present on searchable academic databases, and others which may no longer exist. Any help in finding even a few of these sources is welcome. For a more full listing of all the sources that I want, go to this source directory from NASA NTRS and browse under Section 5.2 - Contact with Extraterrestrial Intelligence: Impact on Earth Civilization. These sources appear to be the most likely to exist, as they mostly come from currently published works or are books.
