Entry from Generali i admirali Kraljevine Jugoslavije 1918–1941: Studija o vojnoj eliti i biografski leksikon in Serbo-Croatian[edit]
Bjelajac, Mile (2004). Generali i admirali Kraljevine Jugoslavije 1918–1941: Studija o vojnoj eliti i biografski leksikon [The Generals and Admirals of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, 1918–1941: A Study of the Military Elite and Biographical Lexicon] (in Serbian). Belgrade, Serbia and Montenegro: Institut za noviju istoriju Srbije (Institute for the Recent History of Serbia). OCLC607699124.
For Milan Nedić - the entry for Milan Nedić seems to be somewhere around pages 40-50, but don't quote me. Last time I needed some pages from this book, Pajz was able to get access. Milan had a brother Milutin, who was also a general and is in the book, so just make sure you don't get him instead of Milan.

For DOSBox, I am digging up secondary sources that report on third-party organizations, predominantly video game companies, using the DOSBox emulator for their applications. In this case, I am looking at Electronic Arts' digital platform, Origin, which contains Electronic Arts' DOS games that use the DOSBox emulator. If anyone has access to the PC Games Hardware article to which I just linked above and is willing to share it with me, I hope that I can then use it to improve that section of the DOSBox article. As a bonus, I will not assume that anyone who is willing to share the source has knowledge on the subject, as I incorrectly did last time. Thanks.

The Indian encyclopaedia : biographical, historical, religious, administrative, ethnological, commercial and scientific (1st ed.). New Delhi: Cosmo Publications. 2002. ISBN9788177552706.
In the article Oachira Temple, the topynomy section is unsourced. I searched in google books for "Omkarachira", "Oymanchira", and "Uvachanchira", and they all appear in the Kamli-Kyouk Phyu volume of the Indian Encylopedia. No snippets are available, and it doesn't identify the page number. Possibly the entry for Kayamkulam or Krishnapuram or Kollam? It would be great if we could source that section of the article (which should probably be moved to Oachira, but that's another issue).
Hello. Does anyone have access to this article in full? I could not find this article on JSTOR or anywhere else, and Questia's website says, "Questia is ceasing operations as of Monday, December 21, 2020. New subscriptions are no longer offered." Is there a subscriber who is willing to share this article?

However, I know one more source that contains information with keywords like Em-DOSBox, Emscripten, and JavaScript which I cannot find anywhere else.

I need the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places nomination for Horse Trough at 315 S 9th St to help save the page from deletion. A merge might be possible if it can be established that the item was installed by the Philadelphia Fountain Society.

I don't have access to either volume, but since it's stated above that We cannot perform full book copy requests due to copyright. Please ask for specific pages that relate to the article(s) you need them for, I've managed to piece together the table of contents for Osmany 1992 via strategically using Google Books' snippet view
Preface [vii–viii]
Introduction [1–10]
I. Muslim consciousness & political awakening in Bangladesh [11–40]
II. Bangladeshi nationalism: The process of interaction between secular and Islamic elements up to 1947 [41–74]
III. Bangladeshi nationalism and the emerging middle class [75–108]
IV. Secularism and Islam as political forces in Bangladesh [109–155]
Yes, I did see the guideline but wanted to see the table of content first, thanks by the way. For the first source, pages 40-60, and for second source, Introduction, Chapters II and III would suffice I think. I hope it's within limit. Thanks. --Zayeem(talk) 15:20, 7 August 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello. I'm looking for a 2000 obituary for my draft on V.H. Drummond, a British illustrator/author and painter. A search on Gale Group suggests she died on February 7, 2000. However, I've found book sources that only state her death as 2000. Therefore, I was wondering if anyone has an obituary from London, England published around February 2000 that mentions her death. Her full name is Violet Hilda Drummond. Also, as she was married, she might be under the name Violet Hilda Swetenham. Thanks!
