For St. Volodymyr Ukrainian Cemetery. I can't find anything on this online, probably because of the romanization of the title. I'd be grateful for any amount of help finding it.
@Mcrsftdog: Given the cemetery's topicality, perhaps contact University of Toronto library to see who their point person is for Internet Archive? I'm sure that they'd add it to the digitization list. They just uploaded a book on August 19, their first since March 19, so I'm guessing that they're back, at least to a limited extent. -- Zanimum (talk) 23:44, 24 August 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Cplakidas, well, I second the comment that that's just too many pages. If you're based in Vienna, perhaps you have a chance to access the volume in the National Library (ZDB record). If, for whatever reason, that doesn't work for you, I can either (a) check first if there is a table of contents (and, if so, send it to you) or (b) send you the requested page range (ie, pp. 200-250) right away. Let me know how you wish to proceed. Thanks. — Pajz (talk) 17:52, 5 August 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Reference supporting a statement about the addition of polynomials[edit]
((resolved))
I am struggling to find a reference for a basic statement about the addition of polynomials. It's for this article: Polynomials. While it's trivial to find references supporting the claim that the set of polynomials is closed under the operation of addition, some editors (including myself) would like to see if we could construct a statement that can be referenced without the word "closed". The current wording is:
a sum of polynomials is always another polynomial.
Proposed alternative wording includes:
the addition of polynomials is an operation that takes any two polynomials and produce always another polynomial
The suggestion has been made that this source is worth reviewing:
I see that it exists in Google books but in very limited snippet view.
Can I persuade someone to take a look and see if either of the phrases linked above or something similar could be referenced in this book?
Nevermind - I reworded the claim and located a source.--S Philbrick(Talk) 13:56, 4 August 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Sphilbrick: the book is available on Lib Gen, wink wink, but if you prefer you can email me and I can send you my copy of the relevant pages. Umimmak (talk) 14:00, 4 August 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Umimmak, Thanks for the very prompt response, but lets hold for a bit to see if my revised wording and reference sticks. I hope it will, but if it fails, I may be back, hat in hand. S Philbrick(Talk) 14:37, 4 August 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
1960s-1980s newspaper sources for Geoffrey Chaucer biographer[edit]
Hello. I'm looking for 1960s-1980s newspapers sources for my draft on Donald R. Howard, who wrote on Geoffrey Chaucer while working as an academic. I haven't found many sources apart from encylopedia entries. However, newspaper sources would help me avoid reusing the encyclopedia. Specifically, I'm looking for any sources from the 1960s to 1980s that talks about his academic career, his works on Chaucer and/or Howard's death in March 1987. Thanks!

@Bruce1ee: thanks anyway, I got #3 from Pajz. @Pajz: Oh my goodness, are you telling me that there are different entire sets of publications in each bundle in different institutions' subscriptions to EBSCO? They bounce publications around between collections like Netflix versus HBO versus Starz, or Hulu versus Hulu Plus versus Live TV? That stinks. So does WP:LIBRARY have no EGM and only abstracts of Forbes? [edit: I found full Forbes] Or is it possible that they're duplicated in other collections within the multiverse of Wikipedia Library? I mean I don't even know how to search where to search within WP:LIBRARY. If not, this just makes us cite the third party master search engines like Internet Archive or fansites of magazine scans. Oh well, they can't take those away. I just care that I can make a permanent and free-of-charge accessible citation. Thank you so much for #3 at least, because I do need to read these myself for expanding the Wikipedia articles! — Smuckola(talk) 10:53, 4 August 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Smuckola, don't know, or perhaps I misunderstand what you're saying. It's certainly true is that EBSCO offers different products with different publications and that, as a result of that, different institutions have access to different materials. I do not think, however, that if two institutions subscribe to EBSCO Business Source Complete they have access to different sets of publications. The institutions I am affiliated with do subscribe to EBSCO Business Source Complete, EBSCO Academic Search Complete, and a few other bundles, and I noticed in one of the local library catalogues that it says we have access to Electronic Gaming Monthly via EBSCO, while in fact, it doesn't look like we do. Given that these local catalogue entries are typically imported from the likes of EBSCO when the database is integrated into the local catalogue, and that the subsequent updating often isn't that reliable, my guess was simply that the journal used to be available in EBSCO but no longer is. That does happen sometimes. I take it from Umimmak's comment that they've run into a similar issue. — Pajz (talk) 17:15, 5 August 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Smuckola: in theory I have online access to the first two, but I'm having issues with the database so I've emailed my librarian and hopefully I can get a response. At the very least once COVID is over I'll have access to the print volumes. (P.S. You might want to consider striking out the third request if you've received a copy already just to make things clearer to other editors.) Umimmak (talk) 14:40, 4 August 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Umimmak: Guess what. In fact, Nikki of the WP:LIBRARY sent me this URL to the full article of #3 and it is the same content as what Pajz had sent me. Can I shorten that URL? Are you guys thinking that WP:LIBRARY has no EGM whatsoever? Thanks! — Smuckola(talk) 01:41, 5 August 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Smuckola: hey just wanted to give an update and that I still am working on the Electronic Gaming Monthly but it's taking me longer than expected to fulfill those requests. Umimmak (talk) 20:55, 11 August 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Looks like this is gonna be even more delayed, my library has had a lot of services pushed back recently. Might have to wait until things open up more, apologies for any false hope. Umimmak (talk) 19:57, 19 August 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
"A full system x86 simulator for teaching computer organization" - ACM article[edit]
An ACM article called A full system x86 simulator for teaching computer organization contains information pertaining to the simulation of x86 computers. As evidenced by Google Scholar, it contains keywords such as VGA, serial port, interrupts, and DOSBox. This article may be relevant to me in my search for more sources, because it may contain something useful that is related to DOSBox, which subject's article I am editing. If anyone has access to the article and can tell me whether there is anything relevant to the DOSBox article, let me know. Thank you. FreeMediaKid! 00:47, 16 November 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

For improving Amy Sherald and First Lady Michelle Obama (painting)—currently cited but not explained very clearly so I’d be grateful to see the source. The citation I have also says it’s in volume 57.
"Christmas Games Guide". Computer Trade Weekly. No. 565. 1995-11-27. p. 43.
"Worms". PC Review. United Kingdom (41, 49–51). 1995. ISSN0266-321X. — there must be a review of Worms in one the issues, most probably in one from 49 to 51. Also there's possibly a preview of this game in the issue 41 or so. The reason for me believing so is that it was mentioned in The One magazine that PC Review also expressed interest in this game. Unfortunately, 1995 issues of this magazine are unavailable online.
"Worms". PC Games. United Kingdom (8). 1995. ISSN1351-0290. — there could be a preview of Worms in this one too as it was also mentioned in The One as one of the magazines that participated in testing the early version of the game. It shut down before the game was released, but there still may be a preview, presumably in its March 1995 issue (008).
Hello guys, looking for particular reviews from some old game magazines. I'm writing an article about Worms 1995 video game from scratch in the Russian Wikipedia (it is going to replace the existing stub and become featured). I'm able to find most of the reviews online, but some are unavailable, like this one. Maybe I will add more articles from other magazines to my request some time later or will create a new request if this one will be archived by that time, but for now it's just what you see.
Thank you very much for your efforts. Coolak (talk) 20:26, 2 August 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
P. S. please ping me if you're able to help and/or comment anything because I barely open English Wikipedia. Thank you. Coolak (talk) 20:43, 2 August 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Coolak, I haven't found a full run of Amiga Action claimed by preservationists. There are a bunch of Amiga and retro mag preservationist circles online that you could ask, but it's going to be hard to find. Alternatively, @Miyagawa, are you still a reader at the British Library? This editor is looking for a scan from issue 78 from this holding. For more holdings, see OCLC872610756. (not watching, please ((ping))) czar 06:19, 8 August 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@Czar: Thank you for the suggestion. Indeed, I have seen on abime that it's one of the rare issues, and I have used all of the Google Search advanced techniques that I know of. That's why I created this request as the last resort, so maybe someone with access to British libraries could help. Coolak (talk) 01:31, 9 August 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Added a page from a weekly UK newspaper to my request. Now it's more than "video game reviews", but I decided to keep the title in case someone has it bookmarked. Coolak (talk) 09:08, 15 August 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
For Baháʼí Faith in India
There is a quote attributed to Mahatma Gandhi: "The Baháʼí Faith is a solace to humankind". The article cites a self-published source quoting this statement from "The Bombay Chronicle" newspaper, May 24, 1944. Please help me find the original source.

@Bruce1ee: LOL! I forgot about ProQuest. To be fair, the A-Z list in The Wikipedia Library doesn't have Proquest as it's outdated. Thanks! --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 22:36, 20 November 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@MrLinkinPark333: I thought that is what happened. You may have seen Sam's comment about the A-Z list being out of date on the talk page. Apparently they have other plans to assist with searching for sources. —Bruce1eetalk 22:46, 20 November 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]
