Hello. I'm looking for this 2013 Irish Examiner article for my draft on Colin Barrett. I checked Gale with The Wikipeida Library but it doesn't have this article despite having full-text coverage for 2013:
I can't use the Blogspot URL where I found this article as it's unreliable. Thanks! MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 23:49, 12 July 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I don't think that's the one I'm looking for as A Different Story is by Colm Tóibín. But, it could be a side column of the main article. MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 14:49, 13 July 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I checked Irish News Archive, and it does look like it's on that page you mentioned underneath the article in the Forum section titled: Hard lives, hard truths. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 15:07, 13 July 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

On page 138 is the statement "John Nash considered himself Welsh, for though his father was from a Shropshire family, his mother had connections with a Glamorgan family (Edwards), and he himself was probably born in Neath in 1752. [13]"
I need the text of the note [13] which I think will be at the end of the chapter on pages 141-142
The text of [13] is on page 141 and cites: "R. Suggett, 'The Early Life of John Nash, Architect: Family, Marriage and Divorce; Speculation, Bankruptcy and Litigation', in Cymmrodorion Society Transactions 15 (2009)."

For The Horse Lurja. François Delpech [fr] is a French historian. In his article, he identified a cycle of stories about a heroine, her helpful horse and a monstruous suitor she escapes from - the same as Georgian tale "The horse Lurja".
The text of the articles seems to be the same, despite the disparity in page numbering, so it could be either/or.

If you can’t access it using the Wikipedia Library, why did you only provide a link via the Wikipedia Library proxy instead of a direct link to the actual source or full bibliographic information…
A general question: Does the wikipedia library provide access to any archives of this sort? Can the RGS collection be browsed on some site even if its files are paywalls?
@DanCherek: do you know something more about this? – Doc Taxon • Talk • 12:05, 2. Aug 2022 (UTC)
To my knowledge, this isn't included in TWL (though I am unfamiliar with the source, so I may be wrong). But it looks like my own institution does give me some degree of access to these RGS archives, so @Danny lost: if you have a specific request, I can see if I can get it for you.

Requesting preferably the chapter containing page 21 and also pages containing list of references of the relevant chapter.
I think, page 21 is within the "Preface", but I'm not sure. "Bibliographical references" are on pages 77-78. But I myself can't get this for you. – Doc Taxon • Talk • 15:24, 25. Jul 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for inputs. Actually wish to find out 'a particular sentence' is being referred by Chaudhry from which particular book and page of reasonably large historian Ram Nath#Works, that's why I am looking for Chaudhry's bibliography.
At page 21 historian Nazir Chaudhry is referring to another historian Ram Nath's sentence ".. absolutely improbable that the grand Mughal emperor would address his married wife as yar .." (as much I could see in google book snippet google books does not give preview for this book), some other media articles too refer to this sentence, but it is unclear from which book and page number of Ram Nath's sentence is cited.
Nazir Chaudhry too is reasonably being referred by other authors so I will prefer to go through his presentation.
Tale type index for Armenian folktales (based on the ATU system)[edit]
Гуллакян, Сюзанна Арменовна [Syuzana Armenovna Gullakian]. Указатель сюжетов армянских волшебных и новеллистических сказок : (Учеб.-вспом. пособие) / С. А. Гуллакян; М-во нар. образования АрмССР, Респ. учеб.-метод. каб. - Ереван : РУМК Миннаробразования АрмССР, 1990. - 48 с.; 20 см.
The work translates roughly to "Index of Types of Armenian Folktales". The work is said to contain 48 pages, but I only need the pages in regards to types ATU 425-449 (section about the Animal as Bridegroom tales), ATU 505-508 (section about the Grateful dead (folklore)) and ATU 707 (about The Three Golden Children (folklore)).
I believe the selected sections will serve to improve articles about Armenian fairy tales, including Habrmani and The Golden-Headed Fish.

@Lazman321: The WaPo is a single sentence Carrie, by Stephen King (Doubleday, $5.95). A chillingly realistic tale of telekinesis and of a high-school girl's drastic revenge on the small town where she was made to feel like an outsider.

It is possible that the actual article/review is not titled "Anziehend anders" (which is the German title of Crossplay Love), but that's what's listed in the issue's table of contents.
