@Darkwarriorblake: #5 is available in ProQuest via the Wikipedia Library Bundle here. Please read the second point under "Finding a source" at the top of this page. —Bruce1eetalk 14:45, 10 November 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Darkwarriorblake: That's not an easy question to answer. It's often a good idea to start with the general-purpose collections like ProQuest and EBSCO which cover a wide range of topics and sources. Other collections, like Oxford Bibliographies Online, are more specialized and only need be used if they focus on topics you're after. You can find out what each collection covers by clicking on their information links. But with experience you'll get to know which ones to use. —Bruce1eetalk 16:46, 10 November 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Darkwarriorblake, do you have any more information about #6, such as page numbers? Is the article title actually the same as the magazine title? --Usernameunique (talk) 16:45, 11 January 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Usernameunique just that it is issue 27. As I understand it, it's pretty much the bulk of the issue, but I can't tell how much or page numbers as the only way to purchase it is through the apple store and I don't have any iProducts. I have been able to acquire a few Cinefex issues but the physical copy for that one is running £20. Darkwarriorblake / SEXY ACTION TALK PAGE! 17:37, 11 January 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Darkwarriorblake, what precisely are you looking for? Is it an article, entitled "Cinefex," within the journal Cinefex? You list the author as Don Shay, yet he is also the publisher; is this some sort of "letter from the editor" starting off the issue? Or is Cinefex different from most journals (which are broken down into a number of articles), and each issue is essentially a single article? By the way, it looks like it would be available for $4.99 on iPad, though I'm not sure how to get around the iProducts issue. —Usernameunique (talk) 22:50, 13 January 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Usernameunique I am very, very sorry for the delay, I did not get pinged or did not notice it. Each Cinefex issue tends to read like most sci-fi mags of its time, it'll have articles about different films and topics, but the Aliens issue is apparently a whole issue dedicated to the film and the article is written by Don Shay. Without getting my hands on it I can't really provide more clarity than that unfortunately. Darkwarriorblake / SEXY ACTION TALK PAGE! 10:33, 22 January 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
No problem, Darkwarriorblake. I've been able to get the cover and ToC for Cinefex 27, which indicates that there's an article entitled "Aliens" beginning on page 4, with author Don Shay. The ToC doesn't list anything else, so it's likely, as you said, a dedicated issue. I've updated the citation above. If you want to cover and ToC, email me and I'll send it over. I also may be able to get the article itself, and will follow up on that when I hear more. --Usernameunique (talk) 21:32, 27 January 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Darkwarriorblake, unfortunately my library won't scan it due to copyright—presumably because the article takes up nearly the entirety of the issue, making a fair-use argument more difficult. You might try reaching out to Cinefexdirectly (see emails addresses and "Contact Us" link at bottom right); given the intended use, they might be willing to send you a copy (that doesn't require an Apple device) as a courtesy. --Usernameunique (talk) 19:47, 13 February 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
That's not a bad idea Usernameunique, I will try to source the pages from ... well the source. Thank you for trying to get the pages. Bruce1ee you can close this request down. Thank you for your help. Darkwarriorblake / SEXY ACTION TALK PAGE! 22:42, 13 February 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Darkwarriorblake, out of the blue today, my library emailed me with part of the article—pages 4 through 23. Email me for it. Not sure if the partial (as opposed to complete) scan was intentional, because of copyright considerations, but I'm following up to check. --Usernameunique (talk) 03:32, 18 February 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
It looks like the E-6 page, which I assume is the backend continuation of the article, has the section titled "Germinating A New Theory", which comes up as Search result 6 in the link above. The ProQuest document ID is 423665169.
I tried an SF Chronicle archive search (despite me not having direct access anyways even if I found it), but I couldn't find it for that date. But that's what comes up as existing from a ProQuest search. They just don't have anything more than a snippet on ProQuest. The ProQuest document ID is 303076104.
Silver seren, It helps if you give the ProQuest id, someone here might be able to access it even if it's not accessible via the Wikipedia Library bundle. (t · c) buidhe 20:39, 13 February 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Worldbruce: I just noticed, isn't there a continuation of the article on page Z-3? I only have the first page in what you sent. SilverserenC 22:40, 13 February 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Silver seren: Z-1 and Z-3 aren't page numbers, they identify different regional editions of the "Home" section. I believe there were up to five zones, 1 being San Francisco proper and 2-5 being surrounding communities (perhaps East Bay, South San Francisco, ...)

I've seen this article mentioned online and in a book chapter heading, but I can't find a reliable source for the text. Bloomberg hosted it at some point but has deleted the page and the old link isn't on Wayback either. So the current source may need to be a hard copy or scan of the magazine, or that book chapter (I think the book is a textbook titled Strategic Management but it has lots of different editions).
@TerryBG: I found The Battle to Be Top Dog is the chapter of Strategic management 11th edition here. On that date in BusinessWeek, I found an article titled "The Pet Economy". I think The Battle to Be Top Dog is the book chapter title, and not the article title. While there is no mention of Petco in the article, it does mention PetSmart. If you still want the article instead for PetSmart or other Wikipedia articles instead, let me know and I'll send it to you. Otherwise, you might want the book chapter instead as the full title is "The Battle to Be Top Dog-PetSmart vs.Petco" - which I don't have access to. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 03:39, 25 February 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Hi MrLinkinPark333, thanks very much for your research. I was unaware of the "The Pet Economy". The reasons I still think there is an article in BusinessWeek in August 2007 called "The Battle to Be Top Dog" that mentions Petco are several-fold. "The Pet Economy" is called "Cover Story Podcast" and has two authors rather than one. This MagPortal page gives the information I posted plus a link to the article hosted on Bloomberg, but that link is now dead [2] and not archived on Wayback. (I've noticed that when Bloomberg created its expensive "Terminal" it wiped a whole lot of its existing online articles and also wiped their Wayback copies.) Lastly, this study on DocPlayer gives five direct quotes from the article, and Petco is mentioned in two of them (they are cited to "The Battle to Be Top Dog, Christopher Palmeri, Business Week, 05 August 2007"). So I still believe this article exists under that title, but possibly only in the hard copy of the magazine (which at that time was not owned by Bloomberg). TerryBG (talk) 04:54, 25 February 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
TerryBG and MrLinkinPark333, Googling the quotations from the DocPlayer study turned up this, which a) matches the quotations, and b) claims to be a reprinted version of the article. What's weird, however, is that I can't seem to find the article in the original issue. "The Pet Economy" seems close (here's the cover of that issue, by the way, and two nonconsecutive pages from it: 1; 2), but not quite. Looking at the article using EBSCOhost's "Business Source Premier" database, it doesn't mention Petco at all, and PetSmart is only mentioned in two paragraphs. And there are four authors in addition to Palmeri. The database shows one other article in the issue by Palmeri (no coauthors), titled "Space: The Private Frontier". I'd really like to see the table of contents for the physical magazine, but unfortunately the database doesn't seem to have it scanned. --Usernameunique (talk) 06:39, 25 February 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Looking at it more, the reprinted version looks to be from an edition of the Strategic Management textbook. Note that in the ToC (link in MrLinkinPark333's post above), it lists this in the section "BusinessWeek Cases". --Usernameunique (talk) 06:44, 25 February 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Hi Usernameunique, thanks for both of your posts. I had previously seen that "BrainMass" webpage, but I had thought it was simply a kind of homework cheating page or something like that. I did not notice that it has that extra embedded link to a two-page PDF [3] that both (1) appears to be a scan of the chapter in the Strategic Management textbook, and (2) at the bottom says "Source: "The Battle to Be Top Dog--PetSmart vs. Petco," BusinessWeek. Reprinted from the August 6, 2007, issue of BusinessWeek by special permission." It's not possible to tell whether that two-page PDF is the entirety of the BusinessWeek article, but at this point it looks and sounds like it may be the best we're going to get. Thank you again to both you and MrLinkinPark333. I think this request can be marked as fulfilled. TerryBG (talk) 12:25, 25 February 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I have been able to access the majority of this work, however the copy that I have is missing pages 52–81. I have been able to use other sources to provide a framework of what the division was up to. The article, prior to the expansion I have worked on, cited some information to page 66:
"During the fighting in Italy the 46th Division suffered over 9,200 casualties, including 1,447 officers and men killed in action, with a further 6,476 wounded and 1,957 missing. Throughout the campaign, however, the division captured 4,507 prisoners."
Can anyone access this work and fact check the above statement and figures? For context, for using the book's contents, it would be the casualty figures at the end of the division's first campaign in Italy, which ended in March 1944. Later in the book, on page 105, it states that the division had suffered over 4,000 casualties, with 692 dead, and took roughly 3,000 prisoners. This is in context to the division's second campaign in Italy.
EnigmaMcmxc, I'll have a look, though it may take a few days as I currently get all my books from the library by mail. — Pajz (talk) 01:34, 21 February 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
EnigmaMcmxc, page 66 is from the end of chapter 2 titled "The First Italian Campaign". The relevant passage is: "During the campaign the Division sustained 5173 (4116)1 casualties; 72 (68) Officers and 683 (624) Men were killed; 194 (200) Officers and 3091 (2991) Men were wounded; 45 (12) Officers and 1399 (501) Men were reported missing. The prisoners taken amounted to 1657 (2850)." Footnote 1 reads: "The figures in brackets are the corresponding figures for the Gothic Line campaign." So it looks like the figures on page 105 refer to that Gothic Line campaign (4116 is roughly 4000, 68+624=692, and 2850 is roughly 3000). Does that help? — Pajz (talk) 06:28, 26 February 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thank you for the additional information.
It might just be the lack of caffeine, but I am a little confused. Based off the context, are the figures not in the brackets the total casualties suffered by the division in both their campaigns or just the first? I.e. 1,057 (the difference between the two figures) men total casualties in the first campaign and the 4,116 casualties in the second? Or, are we looking at 9,289 in total (5173+4116) for both campaigns?EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 12:37, 26 February 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
EnigmaMcmxc, the latter, I think. Based on the fact that this statement is made at the end of the chapter on the First Italian Campaign, I understand the figures not in the brackets to refer to the first campaign. I think it can't possibly refer to the total figure because, for instance, it say there were "194 (200) Officers" killed -- here the total figure would be lower than that of the Gothic Line campaign, which would be impossible. And so it said "over 9,200 casualties" in our article because 5173+4116=9289, "6,476 wounded" because 194+200+3091+2991=6476 and "1,957 missing" because 45+12+1399+501=1957. I can send you the page(s), of course, if you want to look at it yourself. — Pajz (talk) 13:14, 26 February 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I dont think copies will be necessary, just needed to hash that out to make sure I understood correctly! :) Thank you so much for your assistance, I will enter this info into the article later today.EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 14:29, 26 February 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Servicio Nacional de Geologia y Mineria Santiago geological map[edit]
Greetings, has someone access to "Ramirez, C. F., and C. Huete. "Geologia de la hoja Ollagüe, escala 1: 250 000." Region de Antofagasta. Servicio Nacional de Geologia y Mineria Santiago, Chile (1981)."?
@Jo-Jo Eumerus: They sent me a PDF of the map, so it is, unfortunately, broken up over six pages. I hope you can still make sense of it. They also seem to have been unsure what you meant by "associated explainer" and sent the whole journal. Anyway, I have forwarded it to you. —Compassionate727(T·C) 13:50, 1 March 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Oh, that edit of mine was when I was still a bit of a newbie to sources and related stuff, so now I won't hesitate on removing the info written in Pterodactylus that's based on that source, beacuse honestly I don't have access to that source, really sorry.

@Number 57: For #2, the Internet Archive has this. I can't tell if this is the full article or not. —Bruce1eetalk 17:44, 6 February 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thanks – I am not sure it is. Hopefully someone has a Le Monde subscription! Cheers, Number57 17:59, 6 February 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Pinging TylerDurden8823 again: Did you receive the article I sent you? Can this request be marked as resolved? —Bruce1eetalk 21:23, 26 February 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Yes, I got it, thanks! I've just been busy off Wikipedia. I wasn't ignoring you. You can mark it resolved! TylerDurden8823 (talk) 06:00, 2 March 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
