Hello,

I don't have access to the Rolling Stone archives, such as to the December 10, 2003 review, and the other May 30, 1969 review may be also helpful. Regards.--Tomcat (7) 12:03, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

"215; Two Steps From the Blues

Bobby Bland

BEAT GOES ON 1961

THIS COLLECTION OF THE blues singer's 1958-1961 singles was recorded after Bland had his tonsils removed and lost some of his upper register. The result — an even more stirring, guttural howl — is epitomized by "Little Boy Blue" and "Cry, Cry, Cry," which erase any distinction between blues and soul.

Library Support
Greetings,

I'm searching for the following book on the Maoroccan Crisis of 1911: "Deutschland und England in Marokko und Tripolis unsere Politik in Gegenwart und Zukunft". Unfortunately it is not available in any library here in the UK. According to the Worldcat the only copies that are still in existence are located in the US. To be specific the New York Public Library, the Harvard College Library and the Harvard Law School Library are still in possession of that book. I presume that this book in an old doctoral thesis. Since I'd like to know more about the author I was wondering whether there is someone around, who has access to the aforementioned libraries can spare 5 to 10 minutes to pick up a copy of that book and check whether there it contains a curriculum vitae of the author, as was customary back in that time. If that should be the case I'd be grateful if the person checking out the book could transcribe the curriculum vitae and post it here. Since the curricula vitae in doctoral theses were very brief (8 to 12 lines in a rather big typ-size on average) it really is just a matter of 2-3 minues to carry out the task - even if you do not understand the language. If it really is adoctoral thesis I'd furtheremore be interested into the text of the front-page ("Inaugural dissertation written by...") and into the brief info on the second an third page (normally 2 lines giving the names of the professors who were assigned to review the paper and a two-line dedication of the work such as "to my parents"). If anyone can help me - Thank you very much indeed in advance!R.J.K.O.83 (talk) 02:53, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

 * I have written Wikipedia articles before. However, since I am a semi-regular user and not too much of a technical aficinoado, I never bothered to register for a regular user-account. My interest regarding the aforementioned book is two-fold: For one thing I am interested in the matter for the sake of it. But I have also started an article on the author of the book, a man by the name of Axel Ripke who is probably most-notable for his role as a propagandist during World War I and as an early mentor of Joseph Goebbels.

Annual reports of Scantlin Electronics Inc. / Quotron Systems Inc.
I am writing an article on Quotron, see the draft. Scantlin Electronics Inc. (SEI) was taken public as a non-listed stock in October 1960 with Loeb, Rhoades & Co. as the underwriter. In 1973 the company was renamed to Quotron Systems Inc. In 1985, Citibank acquired the majority of the shares.

Does this report mention ingesting colloidal silver?
Does mention ingesting colloidal silver? The abstract does not, but we'd like someone with access to the full article content to see if it's mentioned anywhere. Thanks... 17:14, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I just checked, and there isn't even mention of "colloidal". Chris857 (talk) 17:52, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Kinda what I expected, thanks.   18:05, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
 * "Neither the press release nor the paper mention colloidal silver or any variation on that term." - I have already said, that saying silver and colloidal silver is almost the same, and in this article it is the same. With what stories the internet awash? Nobody tried to consume chunks of silver, right? The only form people have been consuming is cs. The word "colloidal" is generally a confusing one for the majority of the people. But it takes just one minute to read the wiki article on "colloidal" to understand that it doesn't make much difference. It is still makes a general definition. By saying "colloidal" you don't define what kind of silver, what molecule or atoms or any configuration of silver. So you may as well not to say it at all, as they have choosen to do in the article. In this case instead of saying "colloidal silver" they say "silver" and mean the same thing. Additional link: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/02/120202094700.htm. (I would like to point to "Story Source: The above story is reprinted from materials provided by University of Leeds.)
 * I have removed "resolved" tag, sorry if I'm not allowed to do that.
 * My questions are: Is that article mentions "silver"? And a second question, can it be considered as a colloidal silver? For the "colloidal silver" has two definitions:
 * a)Layperson definition: Any silver-based substance intended for ingestion or external application.
 * b)Scientific definition which means that silver should be microscopically evenly dispersed into another medium. (This definition stems from wiki article "colloidal".

I would like to point, that both definitions are general ones. They do not include the characterization of the type of silver being used, it's atomic or molecular structure. (All the silver intended for ingestion is essentially is a colloidal one, otherwise it would be just a piece of a silver.) So "silver", "colloidal silver" and "nano silver" mean absolutely the same thing. Its clear that in the press release when they use "silver" they don't mean "pieces of ordinary silver".

Radioactivity of the heavy elements
In Chinese article of francium hydroxide it is claimed that francium hydroxide is soluble in water(In English article of francium there is a similar claim using the same source says"Nearly all francium salts are water-soluble.") along with this source:, but I can't know from the abstract that if this article says anything about solubility of francium salts.--Inspector (talk) 07:52, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
 * It says:
 * The element is the heaviest alkali metal and, as might be predicted, possesses very few characteristic co-deposition reactions; but it can be separated from other elements, cesium or rubidium being used as carrier, on the perchlorate, picrate, or phosphotungstate after removal of most other metals by the addition of sodium hydroxide and carbonate. Since nearly all francium salts are soluble and because its radiation characteristics are distinctive, the separation and estimation of the actinium-K has been proposed as a method of assaying actinium. (p. 280)
 * Is that solubility in water? Chemistry is definitely not my strong suit. -- Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 09:54, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks after all. Are there any descriptions on how they arrived to this conclusion? Is it original research to apply it to a specific case, e.g to say that FrOH is soluble in water(it might be deduced otherwise by the solubility of other alkali metal hydroxides)?--Inspector (talk) 10:02, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
 * He writes nothing more on the matter and cites nothing. So you have to trust the author's word.

 * So, is it sufficiently a reliable source and significant enough for inclusion in article?--Inspector (talk) 11:55, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I would guess so. The only issue may be that research on the topic was poor before more recent times, such that those views are outdated.  I would guess that research on solubility of salts would be well-established in the mid-20th century.  However, as I said, I don't know chemistry, so that is just a guess.  The author's credentials are impeccable, and the paper is written in a respectable journal. -- Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 20:19, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

Peter Viemeister's The Beale Treasure: History of a Mystery
Recently I have improved the Beale cipher article in Chinese wikipedia, and I am confused about some events mentioned in Simon Singh's The Code Book as I cannot find additional resources on internet to verify them and establish their importance. I guess Singh might have taken reference from Viemeister's book, so I would like to know if anyone have this book.

Some events mentioned in Simon Singh's The Code Book: Seemed still some other are missing from that online pdf, so I will add more once I find my book.--Inspector (talk) 06:37, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) "Among the most ardent treasure hunters attracted to the Beale ciphers were the Hart brothers, George and Clayton....One of the Harts’ tentative decipherments encouraged them to use dynamite to excavate a particular site; unfortunately, the resulting crater yielded no gold. Although Clayton Hart gave up in 1912, George continued working on the Beale ciphers until 1952"(p.90)
 * 2) "For example, there is a Cheyenne legend datingfrom around 1820 that tells of gold and silver being taken from the West and buried in eastern mountains."(p.93)
 * 3) Joseph Jancik, Marilyn Parsons and theri dog Muffin were found digging in Mountain View Church. They were fined $500 and taken custody.
 * 4) " [Carl] Hammer has been a prominent member of the Beale Cypher and Treasure Association, founded in the 1960s to encourage interest in the Beale mystery. Initially, the Association required that any member who discovered the treasure should shareit with the other members, but this obligation seemed to deter many Beale prospectors from joining, and so the Association soon dropped the condition." Well for this I found there do exist some infos that a "Beale Cypher Association" was established in 1968, and "Beale Cypher Association" is more commonly used name yields more google results. However, the association does not seem to have a website.

I would like to use the entry on Marion Zimmer Bradley (pp. 237-250), but cannot seem to find out who the author of her chapter is (the final page of her chapter is not available in Google Books, and the table of contents does not divulge this information). Michael D. Sharp is the editor of the entire work. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,  Ruby  2010/  2013  16:47, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Since all you need is the name of the article author and perhaps the last page, you might consider emailing the publisher and explaining that you would like to cite the text in a Wikipedia article. It would be in their interest to help you. Failing that, the books seem to be pretty widely held in public libraries. GabrielF (talk) 16:57, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the advice. I have just emailed the publisher. If that doesn't work, I'll try to see if a local copy exists. Regards,  Ruby  2010/  2013  20:55, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

The Early families of Knox and Whitley counties, Kentucky, with allied families
I am interested in which sources this author used to get his info about Robert Alexander Early (October 1849?-October 1960). I am trying to help the Gerontology Research Group verify his case, but right now the evidence that we found is not conclusive to undoubtedly state that he was 111 years and 1 day old when he died in 1960. If his claimed age is accurate, it would mean that he would have been the oldest man ever at the time of his death.

The author of this book is Cleland Edward Early, it was printed by D. Armstrong Co. in 1988, and it contains 231 pages or around there. Thank you very much. Futurist110 (talk) 03:43, 31 March 2013 (UTC)

Seebold-Kluge Etymologisches Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache 2002
I'm looking for the entries for Dogge and Docke in the 24th edition of das Etymologisches Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache Kluges, edited by Seebold, published 2002. ISBN-10: 3110174731 ISBN-13: 978-3110174731 I believe both entries are on p. 207. There was also a CD produced with this book that should contain the entries. The 25th edition of 2011 could also be useful. This is to confirm/dispute the etymology that occurs both at Dog and at Wiktionary's entry for the word, and has by now entered the wider web. If anyone could reproduce to this for me I would be quite thankful, and you may as well do a service to the wider community. -- Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 07:46, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

 * The 2002 CD is, in 151 libraries. You might find this interesting too. Seems there's a long-running academic debate on that etymology. LeadSongDog come howl!  20:26, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

The Singing Street by James TR Ritchie
For the article My Old Man's a Dustman, I'm trying to establish whether the popular playground version about a football match is older or more recent than Lonnie Donegan's hit version. In Google books, I am able to see a snippet from this book by Ritchie where a version of the football song (though titled "My Old Man's a Scaffie") is recorded. The book was published in 1964 (i.e. after Donegan's version) but I know that the author had been collecting playground songs since at least 1951. What I'd like to know, if anyone can access the text, is whether a date for the "Scaffie" version is given.

The book was published by Oliver and Boyd, Edinburgh in 1964 (see page 127) and republished by Mercat Press, Edingurgh in 2000.

Appreciate this might not be an easy one. Formerip (talk) 22:29, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
 * There seems to be no exact date given in the book for "My Old Man's a Scaffie"; it is grouped with several other songs under the heading "Songs and Chants of the 1950s". HMman (talk) 17:00, 25 April 2013 (UTC).

I'm writing a thorough article on this weapon, and the information from this manual would be crucial: in particular, at least the technical description, although the rest of the manual would be helpful too. --Saə (talk) 13:14, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Canterbury/Kent maps 1840-6
I'm trying to figure out the exact location of the Beverley Ground, a cricket ground in Canterbury (UK) that was used between 1840 and 1846. Text sources describe it as "near the Cavalry barracks", which were to the south of the Sturry road west of Old Park Road. There seem to be several maps floating around either of Canterbury or more generally of Kent, eg J and C Walker's self-published map of Kent from 1843, or Felix Summerley's Handbook for the City of Canterbury: Its Historical Associations and Works of Art with Numerous Illustrations and a Map of the City (1843). There might also be something useful in ''Canterbury Cricket Week - An Authentic Narrative of the Origin and Career of the Institution. Vol I. 1839-1851'' (Canterbury: William Davy, 1865), in particular the bit covering 1839-42 which is left out of later histories and which would cover how they came to move to the Beverley from the previous ground. --Le Deluge (talk) 03:02, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
 * This book (p59) says that Berverley Ground was the old name for the present St Lawrence Ground. Zerotalk 13:44, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Yep, there's a couple of sources that are under that impression but there's no doubt that there was definitely a ground out on the Sturry Road, as the 1842 poster makes clear ("adjoining the Cavalry Barracks"). There's plenty of scope for confusion and let's just say that the less educated sources take full advantage of that scope.... Le Deluge (talk) 22:28, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

What is this article all about?
I just find this news report about Jakob Bohr's theory on the size of fragments of objects being smashed, but apparently I do not have access to its full text. In a preview page I see texts such as"...pieces between one-tenth of a gram and a gram will be 16 times greater still.

So I would like to know the context of this article.--朝鲜的轮子 (talk) 06:47, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Two german medical books (1918 and 1904)
Hello, I'm working on the Szondi-Test, and to complete the test gallery of images, I'm missing two books that are in the public domain but have not been scanned/made available online. The five images are from:


 * Magnus Hirschfeld (1918) Sexualpathologie Band II, Sexuelle Zwischenstufen: Das männliche Weib und der weibliche Mann. The following images:
 * II. p. 171 Taf. VI
 * II. p. 105 Taf. IV
 * II. p. 145 Taf. V
 * II. p. 54 Abb. 5 Taf. II
 * Theodor Kirchhoff (1904) Der Gesichtsausdruck und seine Bahnen beim Gesunden und Kranken, besonders beim Geisteskranken
 * p.168 Abb.42

Viewing Full Census Records for the 1860 U.S. Census
Basically, I am trying to help verify this one case of a man who allegedly died at age 112 in 1967. Here is James M. "Uncle Jim" King's obituary: http://files.usgwarchives.net/la/franklin/obits/1960s/1967-06.txt. Basically, the Gerontology Research Group (GRG) verifies the ages of supercentenarians (people who are 110+ years old)-- http://www.grg.org/Adams/B2.HTM. Basically, for the 1860 U.S. Census, FamilySearch does not let you view the whole household in a particular U.S. Census form. In contrast, FamilySearch lets you view the whole household (all of the members of this household) on later U.S. Censuses. Here's an example:

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/VYT3-QNJ

James M King, "United States Census, 1940" Name: James M King Titles & Terms: Event: Census Event Year: 1940 Event Place: Police Jury Ward 8, Franklin, Louisiana, United States Gender: Male Age: 85 Marital Status: Widowed Race (Original): Race (Standardized): White Relationship to Head of Household (Original): Relationship to Head of Household (Standardized): Head Birthplace: Arkansas Estimated Birth Year: 1855 Residence in 1935: Same House Enumeration District Number: 21-26 Family Number: 8 Sheet Number and Letter: 1B Line Number: 41 NARA Publication Number: T627 NARA Roll Number: 1401 Digital Folder Number: 005454637 Image Number: 00763 Household Gender Age Birthplace Head James M King M 85 Arkansas Son George E King M 60 Louisiana Son-in-law A E Hynum M 58 Mississippi Daughter Lucy Hynum F 52 Louisiana Grandson Walter Hynum M 36 Louisiana

Does someone here already have a subscription to Ancestry.com or a similar website which allows one to look at the whole household in the 1860 U.S. Census? I think that the 1860 U.S. Census already recorded and enumerated all of the members of a particular household. I need some help in searching the 1860 U.S. Census, since finding an 1860 U.S. Census match for James M. King would be crucial in helping him get verified by the GRG. I was told that this place might be a good place to ask for help in regards to this. Thank you very much. Futurist110 (talk) 22:59, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I have access to ancestry. I was able to find an entry for a JM King, age 26, in the 1880 Census. This is clearly the same person because he (1) was born in Arkansas around 1854 (2) lived in Franklin Parish, LA in 1880, as specified by the obituary, (3) has a son named George aged 1 year, which corresponds with the son named George aged 60 in the 1940 Census record. I've uploaded a PDF of the page here: . I was not able to locate him definitively in the 1860 Census as there are several James Kings born about that date and none of them seem to be living in Independence County as of 1860. However, this is not unusual. If you know the names of his parents or siblings that would help me narrow it down. I hope this helps. GabrielF (talk) 19:02, 5 June 2013 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much for your help and research. If this case is able to become pending (and eventually verified), I am perfectly willing to share credit with you in verifying this case. For the record, I already found his 1880 U.S. Census match, but we need to have a "solid" document from within the first 20 years of James M. King's life in order to make him pending and then eventually verified. I did a huge amount of research on him (you can Google "James M. King (1854?-1967?), 112?, WOP and previous oldest man ever?") in order to see all of my research on him which I posted on the 110 Club forum. Basically, I have not found an 1860 U.S. Census match for him, and while I did find a possible (and perhaps even likely) 1870 U.S. Census match for him, there is no "solid" information which states that he lived in Missouri in 1870 (though it is possible, but we need "solid" proof). Also, while he is listed with his (likely) brothers in the 1870 U.S. Census in Missouri, there is no "solid" document or newspaper article or anything like that which states that these two boys (William and Mack) are his brothers. Also, in 1870, he appears to be living with another family (the Gray family), but there is no "solid" piece of information which connects the King children to the Gray family. I was able to find some family information about him, but again, I'm not sure if this information is 100% correct/accurate, since it might (theoretically) only be based on hearsay and story-writing only after seeing certain U.S. Census documents/records.


 * Here are the sources of this info:
 * http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=tnkaren1&id=I0082
 * https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/F33Q-N5L (this is the death certificate of his (likely) brother)


 * Basically, James M. King's parents' names appear to be:


 * Father: William Edward King (apparently born in Mississippi and died in 1864)
 * Mother: Annie Slaughter (apparently born in Mississippi and died in 1864)


 * Brothers:


 * John King b: BEF 1864 in Independence Co, Ark
 * William E. King b: 1852 or 1853 in Mississippi or Arkansas, died in 1916 in Franklin Parish, Louisiana
 * Early McCullough Edward (Mack) King b: 24 FEB 1856 in Independence Co, Ark, died in 1927 in Franklin Parish, Louisiana


 * Hopefully this info will be beneficial in regards to helping find more early-life information and/or early-life documents/records for James M. King. Keep in mind that James M. King might have been enumerated somewhere else other than where he was born in 1860. Futurist110 (talk) 22:22, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Need to check the source.
1."In the 19th century the Vanniyar held a low position in both Lower Burma and in South India " these lines are there in a wiki page and it was said it is taken from the book - Title : Land and Caste in South India: Agricultural Labour in the Madras Presidency During the Nineteenth Century. Cambridge Studies in Economic History. Cambridge University Press. by Dharma kumar.

2. " while Michael Adas says that in Burma the Palli were "socially better off" than the untouchable castes but were "economically equally exploited and deprived".[2]"

It was mentioned the above lines are taken from the book Title :The Burma Delta : economic development and social change on an Asian rice frontier, 1852-1941. New Perspectives in SE Asian Studies. Madison, Wis.: University of Wisconsin Press. ISBN 0299283542. by Michael Adas.

Please let me know is there any thing present like this in the books mentioned. Did Michael Adas said about "palli" a group of people also known as 'Vanniyars' who majorly live in South India. or he is referring as 'palli' some other people in Burma. ?

"The House at Loon Lake"
ISBN 0316119202 The town has been the setting for a couple of stories, including the children's fantasy book called The Enormous Egg by Oliver Butterworth, first published in 1956 but reissued years later (ISBN 0-316-11920-2). Freedom was also the setting for a 2001 broadcast of This American Life, entitled "The House at Loon Lake". That episode depicted an abandoned house explored by young boys, in town for summer camp at Loon Lake. I am writing a fantasy children's story about a boys' summer camp loosely based on Camp Brandon for Boys for boys with incontinence problems and would like to read the episode of This American Life to avoid copyright infringement. The boys would be staying at Glennwood Lodge in Freedom, NH on Lake Ossipee. It would be built in an octagonal shape and the boys would be able to access the central treehouse via catwalks from their windows. They would talk and play games. Below the treehouse, they would be able to cook s'mores over an open fire. Their fishing poles would be abandoned as the fish blew raspberries at them and lived out their fishy lives at the bottom of the clear pure lake.

W. D. Hogan, professional photographer at 56 Henry St, Dublin
To determine the copyright status of this photograph in its source country (Ireland), we need to know when the photographer died. We know that it is W. D. Hogan who was most prolific in the period 1920–1924 and who was a professional photographer. He worked until 1935 at 56 Henry St, Dublin. I was unable to find any traces of him after this year. The National Library of Ireland has a collection of photos of him but provides no life span (see here). There was recently an exhibition of some of his photographs in Dublin (see here and here) but his lifespan is nowhere mentioned. It would be very helpful if biographical databases, newspaper archives etc. could be recherched for his death date. As W. D. Hogan has taken a great number of unique historical photographs of the Irish War of Independence this would be helpful not just for this photograph that is currently under discussion but the entire collection. --AFBorchert (talk) 06:43, 20 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Your best bet may be to contact the National Library of Ireland. There may be an archivist there who has worked with the collection and knows details of Hogan's life.   Gamaliel  ( talk ) 17:06, 20 August 2013 (UTC)


 * A bit of poking around turns up this photo linked to the same Hogan; it's dated "circa 1947". It's the last one in the NLI's collection, suggesting:
 * a) he was still alive c. 1947 - too late for life+70
 * b) he probably didn't live much longer (no other photos)

Roy Lichtenstein
In this book, published by the Museum of Modern Art, in 1987, by author "Bernice Rose", titled "The Drawings of Roy Lichtenstein", I am seeking confirmation of the sentence: "In effect he threw down the gauntlet, challenging the notion of originality as it prevailed at that time." I believe it can be found on page 17. I should mention that I have started two threads elsewhere on this topic, here and here. I pretty much have my confirmation, but if anyone can confirm those exact words in English, I can proceed to rely upon that source to support an assertion to that effect in an article. Thanks.

 * Ah well I'm not really in a position to do real-life stuff like that at the moment, partly due to the limitations of contemporary psychiatry hmm so hmm anyway I have now found a way online. Interestingly in the short 1929 article, he doesn't in fact use the term sociopath but does propose "socio-pathology" - meaning pathological group behaviour, most strikingly demonstrated in national motivations for war he says. In the 1930 article he talks about sociopathy as an individual or group issue which anyone can sometimes show, but does also define 'essential sociopaths' or for short sociopaths as those with a core mental disorder involving chronic anti-social motivation & behavior. He mentions Karl Birnbaum but doesn't cite him or credit him with coining the term so still not sure about that, maybe I'll try the German wiki. Cheers Sighola2 (talk) 10:07, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

Encyclopedia of Practical Cookery (1890)
By Theodore Francis Garrett. London: L. Upcott Gill.

Specifically looking for recipe for Brown Windsor soup which is purported to be in this cookbook. The recipe calls for boiling three calf's feet for an hour and finish - after adding Maderia wine along the way - by putting a dozen crayfish quenelles into this "luxury soup". Needed to help debunk, or support, the existence that Brown Windsor soup actually existed in Victorian era. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 16:03, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Going to be tough on this one because its 8 volumes and nearly 2000 pages according to this ad in Google books. Though I hate to say this, but Google search keeps bringing up "Brown Windsor soap" when I specifically look for the soup in 19th century texts. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 03:33, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Did you see this a reference from 1901. Another as "Windsor Soup" with recipe from 1904. Another recipe that comes out "clear" from 1910. Passing reference in 1912. Alternate name possible, 1900? Going with "Potage Windsor" we start getting very distinct recipes that include "golden brown". From there go nuts it seems. With Potage Windsor having numerous appearances and "brown" attached to it, surprisingly with "calf's feet". Though the issue as a joke seems more likely at this point. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 04:00, 20 September 2013 (UTC)


 * For what it's worth, on a lark I stuck "Brown Windsor soup" into JSTOR and came up with a quote from a 50s routine from The Goon Show and an offhand 1956 reference by poet John Montague (poet). Doesn't help track down the origins, but does show it was in wide usage in the 50s.  Gamaliel  ( talk ) 04:21, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I believe the joke is the creation of the 1950s, but I managed to find a full set in a relatively local library (60~ miles) though I doubt I'd have access and pull to get someone to physically check the books for the entry. It should be in the first volume if my suspicions are correct, but would it be under "Brown Windsor soup" or would it be under "Windsor soup" as other indications point to, or some other name like "Potege". Anyone else? ChrisGualtieri (talk) 15:50, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

One of the things I'm interested in is whether Avicenna actually wrote the works listed in the Avicenna article, as another Anawati reference I found said Avicenna did not write three of four works attributed to him. Thanks. --Merlinme (talk) 17:30, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Sent. I hate it when sources are misrepresented.  Anawati on 375–6 is explicit in saying that he agrees with Ruska that De anima is a fake. -- Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 21:41, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I'm afraid the misrepresentation of the source is not exactly a surprise, this is part of the WP:Requests_for_comment/Jagged_85 cleanup. Still clearing up his mess nearly four years later. --Merlinme (talk) 09:35, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you for pointing out that case to me. Anecdotally I have noticed such "boosterism"; I guess I'm not the only one.   People who take part in such an activity may think they are improving the reputations of their favoured groups, but when their activity is discovered, their groups' reputations are harmed because the groups become associated with this dishonest behaviour.  Also, the level of trust about claims on the topic is diminished:  If such behaviour were ubiquitous for a topic, then people would simply ignore everything said about the topic, because they wouldn't trust any of it.  The topic would become ignored entirely:  The exact opposite of what the boosters might hope.  And then there is the real harm:  The people who have more than a passing interest in the topics start by being misinformed, but then—when they go on to read more on the topic—they become confused due to the conflicting reports, and their whole progress in understanding the topic is retarded.  -- Atethnekos (Discussion, Contributions) 04:34, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
 * The Jagged_85 case is in a class of its own. I sincerely hope we never see anything like it again. What made his edits so damaging was that they looked like they were well sourced. A lot of editors don't check references; very few indeed check references which are not available online, and Jagged_85 frequently used hard to check sources with incomplete references. This was made far worse by his prodigious output, at one point he was in the top 100 editors by number of edits. He would copy the same bad material with bad references into a dozen articles. Not only does the boosterism cause confusion and perhaps even a backlash against the exaggeration, it's immensely damaging to Wikipedia's reputation. Wikipedia references are supposed to be how you know an article is well-sourced; if you can't trust what look like good references to scholarly articles, Wikipedia is nearly useless. Some of his mistakes have been used as examples in newspapers to show how unreliable Wikipedia is. I was never quite sure if they were mistakes; at the very least, he made definitive statements about things he didn't understand. Sometimes what he wrote was so ridiculous (Avicenna was the first to describe the lever was one of my favourites) then he must surely have known that he was essentially making it up.
 * It can take 100 hours work to clean-up even one article, given how time consuming it is to track down all the references. It also requires a fair amount of understanding quite difficult sources. One of his favourite tactics was to use an article that mentions X and Y to say that X invented Y, and you have to understand what the article actually does say before you can correct his edit. I did a philosophy degree and I'm happy skimming scholarly articles to get the required information, but I can understand why few others have the understanding and patience to get involved. The time I have available is fairly limited, although I have a bit more at the moment. If you feel the urge to get involved, I'm sure your help would be much appreciated. --Merlinme (talk) 18:38, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
