Books about folktales of Southeast Asian peoples (Tai Khamti and Shan)

[edit]

The following books were written by academics of the peoples themselves.

1 * Sai Aung Htun Dr. (2020). Taikhamti: Legends & Law. Shan Literature and Culture Association. pp. 1-6 (introduction), 75-80 (tale 16. "The Python"), 143-156 (tale nr. 29 "The Young Man from the Emerald Mollusc (Sao Hoi Seng)").

The introduction is for Khamti people as a possible source, tale 16 for "The Story of the Hamadryad" (girl marries python).

The alternate for tale 29 indicates it is a Khamti variant of Sang Thong (aka. "The Prince in a Golden Conch [Shell]"), because "Hǒi-sang" was the name used by J. Leyden and Captain James Low to indicate the existence of the tale in the early 19th century.


2. * Pu Loi Hom; Pu Loi Tun, eds. (2014). Shan Legends. Zaw Oo. pp. 109-121 (text for tale nr. 14, "The Story of Ai Maung of the Tousled Hair (White Shell-fish, the future Buddha)", 300-308 (text for tale nr. 48, "The Story of a Fairy and a Prince"), 314-317 (text for tale nr. 51, "The Youth of Emerald Mollusc").

The Story of a Fairy and a Prince is homonymous with a tale first collected from a Shan source and published by Mrs. Leslie Milne in 1910. Milne's tale is a Shan variant of ATU 408 and the Indian "The Belbati Princess". Would like to see if it another variant or a reedition of Milne's text. In the latter's case, will add it as a reprint and later to separate the Shan tales.

"White Shell-fish" has a parallel title to a Shan tale published by B. R. Pearne in Journal of the Burma Research Society with the title "The Silver Oyster", which has been pointed as a Shan variant of Sang Thong. Possibly another variant of the Shan tale.

"The Youth of Emerald Mollusc" has a similar title with the Khamti "The Young Man from the Emerald Mollusc (Sao Hoi Seng)".

Aircraft Accident Digest

[edit]

For Pakistan International Airlines Flight 17. I'm planning on expanding the aforementioned article, but without access to the final report – which I managed to find on Google Books, doing so would be very difficult. From the limited previews, I'm able to see that the report starts from page 32 but have no idea on which page it ends.

Nova magazine June 2000

[edit]

For User:Premeditated Chaos/Eshu. Unfortunately this falls in what Vati used to call the "digitization ghetto" of early digital era magazines, so it's not available in full anywhere online (there's only one text page in the link I provided above). Worse, the relaunch was a flop, so it's not held in any libraries as far as I can tell per WorldCat. This is basically a Hail Mary before making a purchase request. ♠PMC(talk) 00:33, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is held in some libraries. The relaunch is OCLC 49953352, ISSN 1469-7726. Apparently held at Oxbridge, the London School of Economics, and the British and Scottish national libraries (maybe). ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 00:49, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

zh:印度尼西亞佔領東帝汶 (Indonesian occupation of East Timor). After many failed attempts, I seek help from you, esteemed fellow Wikipedians. This was briefly cited in Chapter 8 of A Nation in Waiting: Indonesia in the 1990s which is one of the main sources of the English wikipedia article of Indonesian occupation of East Timor. Although I own a copy of this book and have perused the chapter multiple times, I believe a careful review of the original newspaper source is indispensable. Thank you for your great help in advance, 王桁霽 (talk) 00:01, 25 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@ARandomName123, Thank you so much for replying, just when my expectations had begun to fade. The only information I have is the issue date of the newspaper — 29 April 1993. I understand it may be difficult to locate, as the available sources, all on microfilm, seem to lie deep within only several library archives. — 王桁霽 (talk) 21:33, 20 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Access to Hungarian language folktales about a Pig/Hedgehog prince

[edit]

1 * IMRE, FÁBIÁN. Eredeti népmesék Biharból (in Hungarian). Literator Könyvkiadó. pp. 118-125 (tale "A sündisznó meg a királylány"). ISBN 973-9360-31-9.

2 * Fábián Imre, ed. (1989). Zöldike királyfi: Népmesék (in Hungarian). Cluj-Napoca: Dacia Könyvkiadó. pp. 98-104 (tale "A sündisznó meg a királylány").

3 * Ráduly János, ed. (1980). Tündérszép Mosolygó Ilona: Kibédi népmesék (in Hungarian). Bukarest: Ion Creanga Könyvkiadó. pp. 143-147 (tale "Malackirályfi").

The tales are Hungarian variants of the Animal as Bridegroom cycle. I intend to separate the Hungarian-only tales from "The Enchanted Prince Who was a Hedgehog", which is sourced from a Romani-Hungarian source. There is some overlap between Romani-Hungarian and Hungarian tales, since Hungary has a sizable Romani population, but, since we have an article about Romani folklore which lists other Romani-only tales, I think it's best to create independent articles for each.

Tabletop game magazines

[edit]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask for this, and if not maybe you can point me in the right direction? I'm not looking for specific sources about specific topics, but rather collections of magazines to be useable generally as sources. There are a bunch of such magazines on Internet Archive, but there are several that I have not found, or at least not found full collections of, so maybe someone who is better at searching for this sort of thing could help me locate the ones I am missing? If you see them at IA, or available somewhere else, could you ping me and let me know? Or if there is a more appropriate forum to ask could you let me know that?

  1. Challenge (1986 - 1995); issues are numbered #25-77; most issues are available on IA[2] although many have missing pages; issues missing entirely or unreadable are #31-32, 44, 53-55, 73-77
  2. Games Unplugged (2000 - 2004); 34 issues
  3. GamesMaster International (1990 - 1991); 15 issues
  4. GM (1988 - 1990); 19 issues
  5. InQuest Gamer (1995 - 2007); 150 issues; many are available on IA[3] with another partial collection here[4]; so missing are 16, 18-22, 25, 27-32, 35, 37-38, 42, 44-48, 51, 53-57, 59-64, 66-78, 82-87, 89-129, 131-150
  6. Pyramid (1993 - 1998); 30 issues from volume 1; most of the articles can be found on the sjgames.com website, although many are incomplete snippets, so copies of the actual magazines would be preferrable (second volume was online only, third volume had no reviews, so only need first volume)
  7. Shadis (1990 - 1998); 53 issues; many issues are available on IA[5] and #25:[6] so missing are #24, 26-28, 30-33, 36-37, 39, 41-47, 49-53
  8. Valkyrie (1994 - 2003); 28 issues
  9. VIP of Gaming (1985 - 1986); at least 5 issues:[7]
  10. White Wolf (1986 - 1995); 57 issues

Anything you can find would be a big help!

CorrectionsJackal I'm not sure if that's the answer you are looking for, but the organisation itself claims to do that on its front page, and that's WP:ABOUTSELF.

.."it is believed that on every eighth tithe of the bright half of the month, it begins to shake and produces the most extraordinary effect"..

. This sentence seem to have a spelling mistake being discussed at Talk:Sharada Peeth#the word tithe is incorrect.

Above citation has been used on the article Sharada Peeth. I do not need the page but rather need help in finding out whether the author Raina has given any information from exact which book and edition she herself sourced sentence.

I wish to have following information

  • Whether she has any given information / reference to the sentence? at the end of page no.85 or at the end of chapter, or end of the book?
  • Or if her bibliography contains mention of "Abū al-Faz̤l ibn Mubārak, The Āʼīn-i Akbarī, vol. 2, translated by H.S. Jarrett, edited by Jadunath Sarkar," If yes then which edition?

For Archivea, a seemingly extremely rare monotypic orchid which, to the best of my knowledge, is known only from a single illustration. The first two are articles which I haven't been able to find online: I can only find citations to the article in Revista Guatemalensis, while the article in Orchids does seem to at least be available online to members of the American Orchid Society. The third source is a recent book that at least (according to Plants of the World Online) mentions Archivea, but I am not sure on which page(s) - any pages that mention it even briefly would be useful.

unfortunately I can't open this article from outland: https://www.buckscountycouriertimes.com/story/entertainment/local/2014/03/04/a-wicked-star-turn-for/18038663007/

Can you send me the article please for Morgan Turner?

Thank you, – Doc TaxonTalk13:27, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Doc Taxon: ProQuest in TWL has the April 2011 issue of Vogue, but I don't see that article in it. ProQuest has all the Vogue issues from April 2005 to present. —Bruce1eetalk 15:20, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Might be in British Vogue (ISSN 0262-2130) and not the American one (ISSN 0042-8000). Alpha3031 (tc) 18:02, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I think, it's the American Vogue, yes. – Doc TaxonTalk19:02, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
But I didn't find the American Vogue in the TWL anywhere. – Doc TaxonTalk13:32, 15 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
ProQuest in TWL has the American edition of Vogue from April 2005 to present. See here. —Bruce1eetalk 13:40, 15 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Bruce1ee: sorry, your link is not leading to TWL, does it? But I don't find the article itself in TWL. It's here, the reference #2, I want to read. And I really don't know whether British or American Vogue now. It looks like I need some more help Thank you in advance. – Doc TaxonTalk15:39, 15 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Doc Taxon: Sorry, that link isn't working. If you go to ProQuest in TWL, click on "Publications" at the top, then type "Vogue" in the search bar and search, "Vogue, New York" is the second result returned. —Bruce1eetalk 15:49, 15 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Doc Taxon I'm afraid I don't have access, but it does appear to be in the April 2011 issue of British Vogue, according to https://www.vogue.co.uk/gallery/kate-winslet-april-issue-of-vogue: ...in the April issue of Vogue, cover girl Kate Winslet epitomises just that. She sports a new pale blonde crop and simple monochrome clothes, captured by Mario Testino, and in Solo Act tells Jo Ellison about starting again following her split from husband Sam Mendes.

Washington Post archives

[edit]

Hey, folks. What happened to all the WaPo archival articles? I can't seem to access them anymore. I was under the impression that they were once available through the "ProQuest Historical Newspapers: U.S. Metro Collection". I'm looking for the following articles:

I'm requesting these articles for Cherrydale sit-ins. It will help myself (GA reviewer) and User:Wikipedian1234 (primary contributor). If I had to choose only one article, it would be the one dated 12 June 1960, as there's a quote I want to check in that one. The others are welcome and probably helpful for the article, but not as important at this time if they can't be added to the request as easily. Thank you. Also, can someone explain how to access these online? I see that I no longer have access to these articles in ProQuest. I've added the direct links to the articles up above if anyone does have access. Thanks. Viriditas (talk) 22:24, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, I'm having a bit of a brain fart parsing that—do you just want me to send it to them as well? Perryprog (talk) 02:56, 15 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Bruce1ee I swore that I saw this the order day in the Wikipedia Library, but when I tried to search for it just 10 minutes ago it wouldn't pop up. Thank you!

For Cave hyena, Crocuta

I know that Schweizerbart papers are very difficult to get, but I thought this was worth a shot at least trying. Many thanks as always. Hemiauchenia (talk) 17:05, 15 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

For Aicha Bouchra, which was approved at AFC last Wednesday and is now a DYK candidate; all but the last link are from the {{refideas}} box on its talk page. (The cross-out refers to the title it was originally shown under, as part of the Fondazione Prada's 2024 exhibition For My Best Family.)

The directorial debut of Meriem Bennani and Orian Barki, Bouchra is the first animated feature produced in Morocco, and features a roster of anthropomorphic animal characters.

@Slgrandson Would this link do for Pietron-Locatelli? The text ends with Tentez d’oublier la Vendée, but as I opened it, a text box notes the "article is open today".
This is for The Impression article.
Ping me for any concerns, or if someone works on the other requests. RFNirmala (talk) 02:55, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@RFNirmala: Neither Impression nor Télérama provide anything new for this topic; the first link is a mere reprint of Prada's PR. As for the remaining Inrockuptibles articles... --Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 11:18, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Vormela naming

[edit]
  • Blasius, A.W.H. 1884. Der japanische Nör, Foetorius Itatsi. Bericht der Naturforsch Gesellschaftsgründung 13: 9.

For marbled polecat. This paper is apparently the one that establishes the genus it belongs to (Vormela).

Thanks, Olmagon (talk) 23:23, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There is no magazine titled "Bericht der Naturforsch Gesellschaftsgründung", the title makes no sense in German. It should probably read "Bericht[e] der naturforschenden Gesellschaft", but this title is ambiguous, there are various scientific societies bearing that name. Hard to identify the proper publication without further information. FordPrefect42 (talk) 09:57, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I believe it's this publication [12], OCLC 7550425. The report is mentioned here [13]:

Der japanische Nörz, Foetorius Itatsi Temm., dessen Stellung im Systeme zweifelhaft war, ist nach den Untersuchungen von Prof. Dr. Wilh. Blasius nach den Kennzeichen an dem Schädel und der Färbung ein echter Nörz. D. Brauns hat früher schon nach Untersuchung zahlreicher frischer Exemplare die nackten Stellen an den Fußsohlen, sowie die halben Schwimm-häute ebenso genau konstatieren können, wie dies für die Nörze als charak-teristisch festgestellt ist. Nimmt man ferner noch die amphibische Lebens-weise und die Art der Ernährung — F. Itatsi liebt ebensosehr Fische und Krebse wie Ratten, Mäuse und Vögel — so scheint über die Zugehörigkeit der japanischen Art zu den Nörzen kein Zweifel mehr möglich zu sein. Von letzteren kennt man bis jetzt drei Arten, den amerikanischen Foetoriits Vison als den größeren, den europäischen Foetorius Lutreola als den mittleren und den japanischen Foetorius Itatsi als den kleinsten Nörz.

@Olmagon Found it: doi:10.24355/dbbs.084-201011050910-0. Practically everything in the title was wrong ... FordPrefect42 (talk) 10:18, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately that's how the report has been cited in a bunch of recent published papers on this topic, probably the cause of confusion here. Katzrockso (talk) 10:23, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yepp. FordPrefect42 (talk) 10:25, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The author is August Wilhelm Heinrich Blasius btw., mainly an ornithologist. FordPrefect42 (talk) 10:28, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah I copypasted the citation from another paper, guess everything about it being wrong explains why no part of that yielded the search results I was after.

There's a preview on Google Books, but pages including important information are not included. In addition to this chapter, if I could also get pages 187-189, which mention Laya, that would be awesome. Thanks, Spookyaki (talk) 20:45, 17 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
