Greetings guys, my request here is the description of Achillobator. I have been looking for this particular paper/book? in a digital version, in order to make an updated skeletal reconstruction for its page, but apparently there's almost no images of it on internet—very obscure if you ask me. I have been able to figure a few elements of the holotype, however, from a different paper and book. The page for Achillobator is pretty much complete, but there few issues/concerns about the original measurements and other data which I think would be great to clarify.
PaleoNeolitic perhaps I did not get your request, but it seems to me that ref. 1 on Achillobator contains a link to the paper you need, see here. Khruner (talk) 14:09, 26 February 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Khruner Well, actually I made the skeletal and got the paper few days after the request. Consequently, I expanded the page after that (see the page historial); that link is indeed a copy of the paper on my Drive that I added to the cite.

If, in Switzerland, you don't see an "E-Book Lesen", "Kostenlos", or similar button, use the link at the bottom of the page to report the problem to Google Books. The author, Wolfgang Sartorius von Walterschausen, died in 1876, so copyright in Switzerland ran to 1926 (author's death + 50 years) or perhaps 1936 (editor Arnold von Lasaulx's death + 50 years).

The Google Translate of the restricted access view of the Danish-language article notes:
First, they were hailed for showing China. When the videos became critical, they were hated, but refused to give up. But then China's ultranationalist Internet army threw itself on their wives and relatives, and it became too much for Winston Sterzel and Matthew Tye.
“They found out everything they could about my wife using the Internet. Then they accused her of being a spy and a threat to national security. And because she loved foreigners like me more than she loved China '.
The words came from 38-year-old Winston Sterzel. He is one of two main characters in a story that is as contradictory as it ends up deeply serious for two families who have to pack all their stuff together and move from the land they hitherto called home.
It is possible that this article provides further background information about where Winston Sterzel is currently living as well as further biographical information that can be used to expand the article.

@Cunard: Don't know if you still need the source, but I have access to the article through the Danish newspaper database InfoMedia. The following quote states that they moved to the United States:
"Af frygt for deres liv - og som minimum af frygt for en tur i fængsel - flyttede Matthew Tye og Winston Sterzel til Los Angeles.
Det politiske klima var ganske enkelt blevet for farligt, og i februar begyndtre Tye at sende sine videoer fra USA, ligesom han solgte sin kinesiske lejlighed."
"Fearing for their lives - or at least fearing the prospect of going to prison - Matthew Tye and Winston Sterzel moved to Los Angeles.
The political climate had simply become too dangerous, and in February Tye started broadcasting his videos from the US, and he sold his Chinese apartment."
As a sidenote, the |trans-title= for the source should read "They wanted to destroy us mentally: The wild story of two western YouTube stars who fell in love with China, saw their friends get arrested and had to flee in the end" or something to that effect. 80.62.116.123 (talk) 08:45, 18 February 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Copy of the quesion in the Wikipedia:Reference desk/Science:
During WWII, from 1939 to 1945, Wilhelm Gutbrod produced in his Standard Fahrzeugfabrik, the freight three-wheeler type E1. According to forum entries, the design changed from a RR-layout to a FF chain-driven front wheel, like Oscar Vidal & Sons Tempo company did on their vehicles. As the forum user also "renewed" the nameplate, I really get doubt about the design change.

Thanks both! Yeah, it's also the first time I've requested a magazine article, and it's also rather unusual that original dinosaur research is published in such rather than in "real" scientific journals". As for the perhaps unpublished paper, I was notified of it on a palaeontology mailing list, and the dinosaur it is about, Giganotosaurus, is a featured article, so I was thinking it would be best to keep it up to date every time something new about it is published. FunkMonk (talk) 15:48, 8 December 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]
It's not that unusual. Many journals have a section on their site for articles that will be published in a future issue. The text is already available (often already in its final version) but, since the issue as a whole hasn't been published, the article does not have the final layout / page numbers / a publication date etc. As these versions are only provided on the publisher's site, not on third-party aggregator platforms, they are frequently not available through university libraries unless it's a major publisher. Oftentimes, though, there are a few universities/libraries around that, for some reason, have directly licensed from the publisher. — Pajz (talk) 20:29, 10 December 2019 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Need reliable source for poll on acceptance of the Many-Worlds intepretation[edit]
"Plongée dans les mondes parallèles". Sciences et Avenir. 611. January 1998.
As discussed there, we're trying to find a reliable source for the poll that claims 58% support for the Many-Worlds interpretation. The best we have now is Frank Tipler's book "The Physics of Immortality", which is a bit insane. Lots of sources refer to the poll as being published in the French popular science magazine above, which would be a great source if it indeed has an independent publication of the poll, but nobody managed to get access to the relevant article.

It is pretty easy; super easy if you find a URL to the newspaper page (I am pretty sure you can search without a subscription, just can't view the page). There are plenty of people that can help if you post a giant list. Kees08 (Talk) 15:29, 10 March 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
It's a process -- find the item (which isn't always available), use a little tool to clip it, copy-paste to the reference. Not time consuming for a single item if that issue is available, maybe a couple minutes? --valereee (talk) 15:29, 10 March 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Kees08 and Valereee: Thanks very much for the information between you. I've got ~20 items, which would be unfair for any one individual; but I thikn posting a big list in the usual RX way and letting people dip in and out as they can is a good way forward. I'll mark this as resolved, then, and start a new thread. Thanks again for the help! ——SN54129 15:38, 10 March 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Sounds good, note that I found six for someone in a general search, clipped them and included the titles in about 15 minutes (and stopped to watch my cat watch the birds :) ) if that gives you a rough idea on clipping time. It is like using the snip tool on Windows. Kees08 (Talk) 15:55, 10 March 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thanks Kees08! Done, below. Might even have time for a spot of birdwatching while you're at it ;) ——SN54129 17:16, 10 March 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
((resolved))
Per a brief discussion above (soon to be archived), it was suggested I post a list of stuff and see who can/is able to help. There's no pressure on anyone to attempt the whole thing, quite the opposite in fact! Thanks in advance, everyone. ——SN54129 16:14, 10 March 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I assumed you wanted the Eric Beaston clippings based on the URL. Kees08 (Talk) 17:20, 10 March 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Serial Number 54129: Done all; some are duplicates, they have a main edition and 'other' edition (whatever that means), so clippings from the same page might be duplicates. I tried to note when I saw that and point it out in case it confuses you. Let me know if I misclipped at all, I opened all the tabs at one time and got confused at the duplicates at one point. Cheers. Kees08 (Talk) 17:42, 10 March 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Kees08: unbelievable, tht's fantastic work! Thanks very much. But I'm sorry about the bloody duplicates—I didn't notice that either, but it sure sounds an odd system. Perhaps one is a weekly omnibus or something. I appreciate all the help! ——SN54129 17:50, 10 March 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
No problem, it was faster to just clip them and let you sort the dups out as needed. There were a couple near the bottom that were clearly not who you were writing about but I clipped anyways for the same reason. Don't forget to mark resolved if this is all done. Have fun with the clippings! Kees08 (Talk) 17:57, 10 March 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
And once again not being in control of my watchlist pays off...--valereee (talk) 18:36, 10 March 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Valereee: Sorry! :) I promise, if I find another ton of dusty newspaper clippings I want, you'll be the first to know! Seriously, I hope you sort out your watchlist problem; you know you can customize it? ——SN54129 10:27, 11 March 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Serial Number 54129, oh, believe me, it's customized to death already. It's a PEBCAK error. When I get distracted the first thing I let go is my watchlist, and I'm easily distra...SQUIRREL!!!--valereee (talk) 10:46, 11 March 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
