For Champavati and The Story of the Hamadryad. A preview of the work indicates there is the episode of a woman marrying a snake husband that turns out to tbe human after all, and another girl getting devoured by a real snake, like the Indian tale.

For Indigenous peoples of Maryland; primarily interested in expanding the "19th century" section with details on Native American removal, but anything is greatly appreciated.
@AviationFreak: I have the book. It's about 250 pages, so 25-35 pages would be the most I would feel comfortable sharing under fair use. The first three chapters cover through 1633, so I assume they are outside your scope of interest.
Ch 4 (pp. 73-132) is "Land Loss and Reservation Period (1634-ca.1705)".
Ch 5 (pp. 133-159) is "Tenant Farmers and Then Landowners Again (ca. 1705-ca. 1880)".
Ch 6 (pp. 160-182, the final chapter before app., ref., bibliog., and index), is "Return to Formal Indian Organizations".
From a quick glance, it appears that most of the removals took place before the 19th century. With this information, can you narrow your request? --Worldbruce (talk) 18:09, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

For Fritz Creek, Alaska
The general store was basically the heart of this small community,and was badly damaged by fire last month. They Clarion gives you one free article, and I looked at another one first because it was about a cat that lived in the store for a while and who wouldn't go for that first? So, I believe literally anyone could go view this article and send me a copy. That would be awesome.

Does anyone here have access to the Publishers weekly archive? I'm looking specifically for the issues from 8 September 1975; 20 October 1975; and 14 June 1976. The article I'm working on is The Day Before the Revolution, but if someone has access to the whole archive, there are many other articles I could use it for also. I don't believe it is included in any database we currently have access to. I have tried the internet archive as well. Thanks in advance, Vanamonde (Talk) 23:55, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Vanamonde93: I have access to the digital archive. Are you looking for reviews of that story in those three issues? I can only scroll through the issues page by page so I wanted to first ask if you happened to have the page numbers you're looking for, or if I should search through it. Happy to help with other requests as well. DanCherek (talk) 22:08, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@DanCherek: Wonderful, thank you for responding. I do have page numbers: for 20 October 75, pp. 62-63; for 8 September 75, p. 55; and for 14 June 76, p. 111. These are reviews of three different anthologies containing the story; I have no guarantee that they contain useful info for this book; however if you'd be kind enough to screenshot or download the page, I wouldn't mind adding the reviews to the articles about the anthologies, to make the effort worthwhile. I assume you don't mind if I email you so you can reply with a file? Thanks again. Vanamonde (Talk) 00:25, 16 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I get a CloudFlare loop, can this be archived at archive.org ?
In 2014, Solnit, at Moe's Books in Berkeley, California, talked about her book, Men Explain Things to Me, essays on gender inequality, rape, hate crimes, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, and gay marriage.
@0mtwb9gd5wx: For the CloudFlare error, I suggest trying a different browser, such as Chrome. Archive.today uses a different technique than archive.org, and can consequently bypass some paywalls that archive.org can't. Another option is to read the letter in the FT through WP:TWL's ProQuest database, which you should have access to. Another source that says Solnit didn't coin the term is [11]. --Worldbruce (talk) 07:15, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Financial Times reported that, in 2018, during a lecture at Moe's Books in Berkeley, California, Solnit said, "I'm falsely credited with coining the term 'mansplaining'. It was a 2010 New York Times word of the year. I did not actually coin it. I was a bit ambivalent about the word because it seems a little bit more condemnatory of the male of the species than I ever wanted it to be."
@0mtwb9gd5wx: I have no opinion or interest. This is a library resource service, not a content forum. We can help you access a source, but the place to discuss how to improve an article is that article's talk page. --Worldbruce (talk) 14:54, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

For User:Vaticidalprophet/No Easy Answers. This is a strange one -- if the publication still exists, it's not under that name. It's in the Early 2000s Digitization Deadzone, so I can't begin to figure out where I'm trying to trace it. It might be the same publication as Youth Today, but if it is it doesn't have FUTON archives. I've used the exact citation formatting in the author's CV, because the specific season issue is both 1. of high value here and 2. breaks CS1 cites, and because it doesn't seem that the title includes the name of what book it's reviewing. If the CS1 format is required for some logistical reason, I'll try to fit it in one.
