Who's who in Vietnam 1967 and World Free Peoples: Biographical, Monographical[edit]
For Vĩnh Thọ (diplomat) and Dinh Van Kieu (Vietnamese Ambassadors to Japan), I need their biographies to write articles about them, however, the books in which both articles are located are only available in a small section on Google Books.

Frenkel, Yehoshua (2002). Ibn Hassul and the early Seljuqs. Richmond: Curzon (Routledge). ISBN9780700716470.
For Tuqaq. I cannot be certain that this book was ever published.
The book is claimed to belong to the "Studies in the History of Iran and Turkey" series, but the publisher's website of the series does not mention the book. Acc. to Worldcat, the book is available only in the Royal Library of Denmark which is indicative of the book being never published at the first place. However, the book is blurbed in Byzantinische Zeitschrift, Vol. 97 (2), p. 735 and a vendor appears to sell (or have sold) it. TrangaBellam (talk) 17:30, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Apparently it was published, as another author mentions it as well in their work: 1, and it is mentioned in another bibliography: 2
As far as publication is concerned, I believe that this means it is published. If there's anyone from Denmark, they could provide you with the book if you need it. Szmenderowiecki (talk) 15:57, 25 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Official gazette of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Government[edit]
((stale))
Hi.
I need issues of official gazette of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Government for articles about Inner Mongolia. They are available online at the University of Michigan Library, but I don't have access to this material. About copyright: I think, that this material is out copyright, because texts of laws are not protected (in China and Mongolia). Title: 內蒙古自治政府公報 = Neimenggu zi zhi zheng fu gong bao. Publisher: 內蒙古自治政府秘書處 = Neimenggu zi zhi zheng fu mi shu chu. Year: 1948 or 1949. Worldcat:link. University of Michigan Library:link.
Also this material may be here (according to Baidu).

Access to German-language translation of a Soqotri folktale[edit]

For The Black Colt. In a mid-1910s article, Emmanuel Cosquin mentioned in a footnote that the Soqotri tale contains a horse helper and an evil stepmother - elements that also appear in the Iranian tale, which makes it a variant of the same tale type the Iranian tale belongs to.

"DIN 5009:2022-06". DIN 5009. Deutsches Institut für Normung: Anhang (Appendix) B.
For NATO phonetic alphabet. Here is a PDF of the TOC; I'm looking for just the one or two pages of appendix B. I couldn't find it at the Wikipedia Library.
This is the source used on German Wikipedia for the pronunciation of the NATO/ICAO alphabet. This is relevant because the old ICAO publication has several obvious errors and has never been corrected; it is also in conflict with NATO and the FAA. I'd like to verify that there are no typos in the copy at WP-de. (I.e. that some apparent errors there are as-is.)
I believe that only the letters of the alphabet are covered. However, if numbers are included, I request them as well.
If it is possible to photocopy the table or chart in Appendix B and upload it to Commons, to complement the older ICAO and US military tables that we have, that would make a nice resource for the many language WP's that have articles on this topic.
Kwamikagami, you definitely cannot upload them on Commons because the norms are copyrighted and cost almost €100 to download.
But I have access to the draft (here) if you need it; registration is required). It shouldn't be that much different, and if any changes did appear, well, we'd correct them.
If you need the actual standard, though, you'd have to wait at least until Tuesday. I'll try to send you photos of that appendix. Szmenderowiecki (talk) 17:38, 25 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks!
That is quite different from what was posted on WP-de. Much simpler, and without some of the obvious nonsense.
If what you find differs, please let me know, but yes, please send photos of the appendix if you can, just to make sure there are no corrections needed. — kwami (talk) 23:03, 25 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I'll try to be quick. Please send me a wikimail so that I can send you the pictures. IDK after all the usage of Wikipedia email system if the sender's email is shown or is concealed under the Wikimedia's email address, so it would be good if you wrote me the destination email in plaintext.

OK, so I've been to the standards reading room in my country and they don't have DIN standards at all, and I'm afraid they are not available in the country (particularly since this particular standard is about language and not some technical characteristics and conventions).

Canadian TV ratings data (specifically 1987-1992)[edit]
Sorry if this seems like an odd request because I'm not looking for one specific work/journal. I was directed here by someone else. I'm in a so far eighteen-month long process of improving the coverage of the Degrassi teen drama franchise, specifically to do with the 80s/90s versions of the franchise, which aired on CBC. I'm specifically looking for any Canadian ratings data between 1987 and 1992 if any exists to cite the same way pages about American shows cite Nielsen ratings. Various newspapers of the time claim the show averaged over a million followers weekly, and I'm looking for exact figures to add for each episode to support this instead of going off estimates.

For Eliza Stephens, aka Anna Elisabetha Planta For the 1st one the article is talking about de:Christian Gottlieb Bunge and his family, specifically his wife Melanie and son, Nikolai Bunge. I've given the link on page 55 of the snippet that relates to Melanie, cousin of Speransky's wife Elizabeth Stephens. I am assuming, as it is on page 55 and the snippet says 1958 that it is from the first issue of volume 5. The list of issues I found are given as 5. Jahrg., Hft. 1 (Okt. 1958); 5. Jahrg., Hft. 2 (Jan. 1959); 5. Jahrg., Hft. 3 (März 1959); and 5. Jahrg., Hft. 4 (Juli 1959), but I cannot find any that I can access from Mexico.
The second is a source given in this book by Erik Amburger, p 79 footnote 241, giving the death date of 25 December 1815 for Speransky's mother-in-law (also Elizabeth Stephens). I have no idea if the original work is actually in Slovenian or if it was translated to that name for publication in the German book by Amburger. I get that both of these are long shots, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
