Thanks for uploading Image:Pallas PS.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, — Edwin Stearns | Talk 21:50, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I would have been able to get what you wanted a month ago but not now. For more than 25 years I taught a biostatistics course for the Dept. of Psychiatry, and by virtue of that appointment had access to all CU's libraries. I took advantage of the library card too. Like Walter Alston of the Dodgers, I had a series of one-year contracts. But alas, I was not renewed on July 1. My library card is no longer operative. I wish I could have helped you.

If you or someone you know knows a Columbia student, that student can have access to the document, and transmit a copy to you. You probably know someone who knows someone who knows someone who is either a student or faculty member at Columbia. I imagine that by the time I have written to you, you will have solved your problem of access. Best wishes. Let me know if you succeeded.Iss246 (talk) 12:27, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Doc Taxon, I'd much appreciate any help you can offer! Let me know - thank you. Best, WikiJedits (talk) 18:27, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Doc Taxon, sorry for the delay. I haven't been on here for a while. Thanks very much for the additions to the article – I think you filled in the name I'd not been able to read, which was what I wanted. Thank you!

I have no idea how to transfer a file – I have never done this on Wikipedia before. Let me see if I can find out. Some of the regulars on the resource exchange desk seem to be uploading them to Windows Live sites http://cid-d7eef6a0e20c1e42.office.live.com/browse.aspx/Wikipedia or Google sites https://sites.google.com/site/droptone/ but I do not know how they set this up. Best, WikiJedits (talk) 18:03, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank for the message on my talk page. Yes, it is still open as far as I'm concerned although user:Edison was the primary objector to the article's statements on Jedlik. I see the section has acquired a new reference from Nature 53 1896 since I last looked. However, the insertion is from a now blocked user who was placing a lot of dubious Hungarian related material on Wikipedia. Are you able to obtain a copy of the Nature article? We need to verify that it does contain an article on Jedlik, and if so, that it supports the claim made. SpinningSpark 06:33, 17 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Doc Taxon, and thanks for your note on my talk page. I am not able to scan those articles for you, but you might ask for information at the San Diego Natural History Museum, http://www.sdnhm.org/about/directory.html .

Hi, apologies about the delay - been busy in the past week. I do live in Manchester but I'm not a student at the University of Manchester. Although I'm a college student at a college in Manchester - the problem is that local students (from Greater Manchester colleges) are only allowed to just visit the library for reference (not borrow books). And even then, you have to sign up for access pass, which I am told is an unnecessary long winded process by my college librarian. Sorry, I couldn't be of more help - regards Stevo1000 (talk) 16:37, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's not been satisfactorily resolved since different sources differ on the dates. The article now includes the differences for lack of a better solution. Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 12:01, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not necessarily. It was in the middle of a dispute back then, and hence the over-referencing. In fact the article has quite a substantial amount of over-referencing incidents. Some pruning would be greatly helpful. Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 03:51, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You recently added a birth year to his article. Any editor can remove this as unsourced but I didn't. Do you have a reliable source for it?--Canoe1967 (talk) 16:47, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have had huge battles over birth dates before. I even emailed Mr. Erickson about his source for Sondra Locke's. I will avoid it with his article though. If he reads the article he may decide whether it is accurate or not properly sourced.--Canoe1967 (talk) 19:17, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I found your listing at WP:REX and I'm hoping you can help me. I need a very specific piece of information (and, ideally, a quote and page number) from this book:

• Strieder, Peter (2012). Dürer. Langewiesche K.R. ISBN 978-3784591421.

In previous editions of the book (in the 1970s and 1980s), Strieder did not accept Lotte Brand Philip's identification of a picture at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum as being Durer's portrait of his mother and therefore part of a diptych of his parents (see the wikilinked article for background). I need to confirm whether Strieder maintains the same position in the 2012 edition of the book—but it has only been released in German, so it's not very easy to find in the US.

I noticed that WP:REX has a link to de:WP:BIBA; would that be a good place to start? Any advice would be welcome. Maralia (talk) 20:13, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for ordering the book to help me with this—I just couldn't get my hands on it over here in the US. A few notes that may help you find the right passage:

• The information I'm looking for would likely be in a chapter about Dürer's earliest work; he painted these in 1490, when he was 19, and they are his earliest surviving paintings.
• You can see the portraits here: Portrait Diptych of Dürer's Parents.

Strieder's opinion on this is important because in addition to being a Dürer expert, he was for 25 years the head curator of paintings at GNM (which holds the mother's portrait). Thanks again for looking into this for me. Maralia (talk) 15:10, 18 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so very much for the quotes! I get the meaning of them, but I would also appreciate a translation to make sure I've not misread anything. Really appreciate your help, and excellent timing: I am working on the article right now. Maralia (talk) 18:39, 8 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Books & Bytes recipients: The Wikipedia Library has been expanding rapidly and we need some help! We currently have 10 signups for free account access open and several more in the works... In order to help with those signups, distribute access codes, and manage accounts we'll need 2-3 more Account Coordinators.

It takes about an hour to get up and running and then only takes a couple hours per week, flexible depending upon your schedule and routine. If you're interested in helping out, please drop a note in the next week at my talk page or shoot me an email at: jorlowitzgmail.com.

Hi! You seem to be reverting my changes to Wikipedia entries and MediaWiki Commons items which involve logos of the Namecoin project. Please stop: the purple logo is incorrect and is being pushed by an outsider who goes by the name "Sudo" and "Sudoquai". This person is not an official contributor to the project and these logos have NOT been adopted by the Namecoin project. You can verify this for yourself by checking out Namecoin.org.

The only place this logo has been used is on unofficial social media accounts controlled by Sudo. These accounts have been publicly admonished by the Namecoin team. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Indolering (talk • contribs) 12:37, 8 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I am afraid it has been sitting in my Sandkiste for a long time. If that were en:wiki I would have opened a sandbox on the article- transferred it over then invited other users to correct it. My written German is not strong enough to do a full copyedit but the facts are fine and referenced. So I have done the next best thing I have copied over the text- and added it in comment brackets on the article page.

Hello there.

I see that you offered your help with this request on the resource exchange. I was wondering which pages you could help the requester with.

The reason why I'm asking is that I can access all of the requested materials except for The History of the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry, 1939-45. However, it would require me to go to the library and scan the pages.

Please let me know which ones you can do, and I can cover the other ones except for Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry. Thanks. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 20:25, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@MrLinkinPark333: yes, you are right. The only possible thing is to go to the library and to scan the pages, even for me too. Often it's not possible to get the materials by online access. But there are many libraries here, who could help to receive the article. But it takes a little more time than usual. If you want to fetch the materials or if I fetch the materials, it's both the same. Doc Taxon (talk) 07:00, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Doc Taxon: We could divide up the sources. I can't access Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry. If you could access that one, that would be great. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 19:28, 26 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
