Three Personal Narratives: The ‘Cultural Other’ Scripts Her Story[edit]
I would appreciate if someone with access to Oxford Academic collections can send me this particular chapter from Murmu's Words of Her Own: Women Authors in Nineteenth-Century Bengal that apparently discourses on Kishore Chand Mitra's activism and life's work focus on socioeconomic issues. Thanks, MBlaze Lightning (talk) 13:14, 15 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Bruce1ee, thanks for offering to send it to me, that would be ideal. TWL hasn't had Oxford Academic available for users' access for quite a while now so it is not something I can access myself. Regards, MBlaze Lightning (talk) 15:20, 15 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Editors: Himanshu Prabha Ray, Salila Kulshreshtha, Uthara Suvrathan. IDK why ISBN on journal page and Book does not match but DOI seems same at both places added in URL link above.
On partial preview is available on google books but sceptre related information is not clear enough since some pages are not visible to me besides page numbers in the book are not visible and also I would prefer pdf with page numbers if possible.
I've got that; email me and I'll send it by return, Bookku. SN54129 12:56, 16 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I have received and updated the draft article for the same. Still, to be on safer side, I will prefer to have page number from the book on which word 'sceptre' appears, if possible; since some related parts of the topic are being debated and some users may request for page specific numbers . Bookku (talk) 11:04, 18 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thanks Doc Taxon. @Bookku: I don't understand. It's a paginated pdf. With page numbers. Can't you just ctrl+f for instances of "sceptre" and use those numbers? SN54129 14:04, 18 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Idk, May be I did not get it since I use google docs to open? I shall try once more Bookku (talk) 14:16, 18 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Hi Bookku sorry about that. Well, as an update, I also tried opening to with Gdocs, and you're right-it does do something funny to the pages (I haven't worked out whether numbers are there but moved around or not all!). What was worse, though, is that it only seemed to load the title pages etc rather than the other pages I sent. I promise that when I open it in just my free, easy pdf reader everything is there and with proper numbering. Perhaps get a pdf reader as well? It is odd though! SN54129 17:48, 18 June 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Many thanks @Serial Number 54129 Sorry may be it was my bad; Idk it was speed issue or some other strange issue with google doc yesterday. Today google doc search in PDF was not working but could get page numbers.
Thanks, yes, I can get earlier editions but it must be the Fifth in this instance. Bon courage (talk)
Access to Russian-language article about the catalogue/index of Mari tales of magic[edit]
Sabitov, S. S. "Сюжеты марийских волшебных сказок". In: "Вопросы марийского фольклора и искусства". Vol. 7. 1989. pp. 20-45.
For Mari mythology. The article is a short form catalogue for the tales of magic (see Aarne-Thompson-Uther Index) in sources from the Mari people. The catalogue may serve as a reference for the article, but I'm aiming for articles where there are variants of international folktales (most likely Russian/Northern Asian), since it serves as an academic comparative against other catalogues, especially the East Slavic one.

This citation has been used in the past to support the statement that the church was built in the 10th or 11th century. Since then the content has been changed to state that the church was built around the 4th century, but the reference remains. It would be very helpful to see what it says on the matter, as it seems a high-quality scholarly source specifically on the building in question.

Though google books (GB) algorithms are bit mysterious Idk on which specific principle they work . I am under impression that, un til we do not use shared google books link of GB preview; GB provides previews of different page numbers to different users. So meaning there by if 2-3 users search same book and later share links with each other preview of larger number of pages from different different shared link becomes possible.

If some one gets google books link to preview of page no 479 will do for me.
@Bookku, this Google Books link is working for me, although I think it depends on your location. The sentence that corresponds to your sentence is "In the 'standard type', which is the most frequent, he [Samadragupta] holds a long staff (this may actually represent a spear, javelin, or sceptre) in his left hand and offers oblations into a fire altar with his right; the garuda standard appears to the left."
