No problem, IOHANNVSVERVS. I honestly don't know why this one is proving so difficult; I've sent in many requests which have been ignored, and so keep sending them in.

• de:Schiffbruch des Apostels Paulus (Briefmarke)
• de:Stempelmarken von Malta
• de:Melita (Briefmarkenserie)
• de:Malta Postal Museum

Hello everyone,

I am currently working on improving and creating several articles related to the postal history of Malta on the German Wikipedia.

Unfortunately, this title does not appear to be available in libraries in the D-A-CH region.

I am specifically looking for the following pages (or relevant excerpts):

pp. 27–28, 33, 35, 62–63, 75–76, 79, 183–193, 259, 270, 281, 286–288, 295, 299.

The material will be used to support well-sourced improvements to the articles listed above, particularly regarding early postal history, classic issues, and fiscal/postal usage in Malta.

If anyone has access to this book (e.g. via a university library, private collection, or digital access), I would greatly appreciate any help, summaries, or excerpts from the requested sections.

Please feel free to contact me via Wikipedia email if needed.

Thank you very much in advance!

Hello! I'm working on the article about Félix Carvajal in Russian Wikipedia. The quality of the scans available at dLOC/UFL ([2], [3]) and UCLA is horrendous. (And it's exactly the same scans. Do the hard copies still exist at all?) Besides the photos, some important text parts are barely readable, even with the various digital adjustments and OCR engines' help. They contain the proper names, so, let's say, Google Search can't guess them. At the very least, I need the accurate text of the right column on page 27 of the first article, if anybody can recognize it. But maybe it's not the place to ask about that.

I am trying to locate an article about my father, Dr. Ahmed Kamel Naim (د. أحمد كامل نعيم). He was elected directly to the MRCOG/FRCOG at the Royal College meeting on January 30–31, 1970.

Could someone please run a quick keyword search in the 1970 archive database for:

Mohamed Naim, I followed your instructions but didn't find anything. I'm not sure how good the Arabic-language OCR is, though, so it may still be in there. If there's a different query you'd like me to try, let me know. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 06:03, 31 May 2026 (UTC) [reply ]

Thank you soon much Extraordinary ,really appreciate your help. Though I read that Al-Ahram article by myself back in the seventies but yes the Arabic OCR might easily miss. The actual certificate date is 12th of June 1970, he was working in Kuwait at that time (Director of the new Maternity Hospital), so there is a good possibility that it was announced on different Kuwaiti newspapers (like Al-Qabas,Al-Rai al-Aam and others),he occasionally appeared in regional news reports regarding public health and medical administration(1961-1987).

​If you or any other editors with access to regional or Gulf archives are open to running a broader search, some helpful alternative keywords might be:

"أحمد نعيم" (Ahmed Naim)

"الزماله الفخريه" (Honorary Fellow)

"مستشفى الولادة" (Maternity Hospital)

"مدير الإدارة المركزية" (Director of Central Administration)

"تشغيل المستشفيات الجديدة" (Commissioning/Operationalizing new hospitals)

"نعيم" (Naim)

No worries at all if this is outside your scope—your first check was already a huge help,appreciated. Mohamed Naim (talk) 13:21, 31 May 2026 (UTC) [reply ]

Also, a quick note regarding his international work: I have his physical certificate for the Mauritanian Medal of Honor (Médaille d'honneur, 3e classe), awarded by presidential decree 137/D/83 on November 16, 1983, for his role in healthcare infrastructure.

If anyone has access to the Mauritanian state newspaper Al-Chaab (الشعب) or North African archives, a quick search for his name "أحمد نعيم" alongside "وسام الشرف" would be a massive help to find a secondary citation for this award.

For The Youth and the Maiden with Stars on their Foreheads and Crescents on their Breasts. Hana and Ylli translate to Moon and Star, which are the astral motifs that the wonder children have in Albanian variants of tale type ATU 707, The Three Golden Children.

The tale is connected to Albanian tale Gjarupni dhe i vdekuni ("The Girl and the Dead Man"), which the collectors of the latter noted to be a "variant" of Mimikakliu, in that the heroine marries a serpent bridegroom, disenchants him, is tricked by her stepmother/relative and banished, and marries another man who is dead and whom she revives. It is part of a Southeastern European oikotype of King Lindworm as a two-part narrative (akin to Greek The Girl with Two Husbands), as explained by scholars.

I've looked to the best of my abilites on Internet Archives, Google Books, and through the Wiki Library but have only found previews that don't include the cited pages.

Issue is that 4 sources are cited for a claim regarding Tang Chinese Suzerainty as far as Herat circa 660 CE, but when I've looked into 2 of them I could find 1 explicty disagrees while the other doesn't mention it at all but deals with a period 100 years later in the 8th century instead of the 7th.

So it is up to these 2 other sources I've not been able to find to redeem the claim.

Actually, #1 is available on Anna's Archive, so you can get the full text instead. ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 02:07, 3 July 2026 (UTC) [reply ]

For Wild Life (Wings album)

These books are used across hundreds of music articles across the site, and most of the time they completely lack page numbers, instead citing the books themselves. I'd appreciate the page numbers for not just this record, but for all of Paul McCartney's solo and Wings albums so I don't have to come back here again.

For Italian Figure Skating Championships

I am looking for this article from La Gazzetta dello Sport, an Italian newspaper. Any help would be appreciated! Bgsu98 (Talk) 08:51, 5 July 2026 (UTC) [reply ]

I'm creating a new article for Malaysian singer Siti Nurhaliza for her Chinese duet song, "Be Like Water". In the history section, I'm trying to confirm if these two Chinese songs (月亮代表我的心 ("The Moon Represents My Heart") and 征服 ("Conquer")) were recorded by Siti Nurhaliza back in 2004 for her mini album. I can find the keywords on the website, but I'm not clear about the context in which the keywords are being used in the article, as she also performed both songs during a show in Taiwan in 2004.

For Jeannette Haïdara,

I've been looking for sources regarding the article and for now, I haven't had much luck. Google Books returned this book and there is a possibility that she might have an entry in it, however there is no preview that is available so I do not know if that is the case. I haven't been able to find a page number nor an ISBN which complicates things further, but hopefully, someone will be able to help.

For Nigeria Airways Flight 357 (crashed on November 13, 1995). I would like to see what the book says about that accident. The section "Air Crashes in Nigeria 1943-2006" starts on page 220. Google Books only gives snippet views. I want to see if the book provides WP:SIGCOV of the accident (At least two paragraphs or so).

Thanks, WhisperToMe (talk) 06:35, 7 July 2026 (UTC) [reply ]

WhisperToMe - Book is free to download at ResearchGate: [18]. It doesn't say anything not already in the article though, just a one line entry in a long list of accidents. InfernoHues (talk) 03:27, 17 July 2026 (UTC) [reply ]

For Draft:Allen Pittman (declined at AfC for lack of independent coverage; I have a declared COI and am gathering sources before considering resubmission) I would be grateful for help locating:

1. A Washington Post Magazine review quoted on the Tuttle Publishing cover of Chinese Internal Boxing by Robert W. Smith and Allen Pittman: "A welcome addition to books on the 'soft' arts by a recognized international expert on hand-to-hand combat." The books under review would be Hsing-I: Chinese Internal Boxing and/or Pa-Kua: Eight-Trigram Boxing (both Tuttle, 1990), most likely reviewed 1990–1993. It is also possible the blurb originates from a review of an earlier Robert W. Smith title.
2. Any trade-journal reviews of those two 1990 Tuttle volumes or of Pittman's Walking the I Ching: The Linear Ba Gua of Gao Yi Sheng (Blue Snake Books, 2008) — e.g. Library Journal, Booklist, Publishers Weekly.
3. Any Atlanta Journal-Constitution (or other newspaper) feature on Allen Pittman, who taught Chinese internal martial arts in Atlanta c. 1984–2000, including a program at Georgia State University.

Exact citations (date, author, title, page) would suffice; scans welcome if permissible. Many thanks. DaoFlow (talk) 06:47, 7 July 2026 (UTC) [reply ]

@DaoFlow:

Re. #1: I'm not sure where to find an archive of The Washington Post Magazine specifically, but the closest I found in The Washington Post is:

Robert W. Smith, a Bethesdan who teaches the rarely seen "soft" arts of pa-kua, hsing-i and t'ai-chi and is recognized as an international expert on hand-to-hand combat, says that if he could choose a companion in a back-alley brawl, it would be a judo man. "Sooner or later," he says, "you come to grips with each other."

-25 Dec 1983: SM11.

Re. #2: Searching "Allen Pittman". Nothing relevant in Library Journal (1976-present), Booklist (1993-present) or Publishers Weekly (1990-present). Searching the Gale Literature Resource Center only gives one result for "Allen Pittman". In the Contemporary Authors entry for "Robert W(illiam) Smith", his bibliogrpahy states

(With Allen Pittman) Pa-kua Eight Trigram Boxing, Charles E. Tuttle (Rutland, VT), 1990.

(With Allen Pittman) Hsing-I: Chinese Internal Boxing, Charles E. Tuttle (Rutland, VT), 1990.

Re. #3: Nothing relevant in the Atlanta Journal or the Atlanta Constitution, or anything in any Atlanta newspaper, per newspapers.com: https://www.newspapers.com/search/results/?city=Atlanta&county=Fulton&date-end=2006&date-start=1980&keyword=%22Allen+Pittman%22&region=us-ga ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 17:28, 11 July 2026 (UTC) [reply ]

@ARandomName123: Thank you — very helpful. The 1983 date suggests Tuttle recycled the blurb from an earlier Smith profile, which settles #1 conclusively. Three quick follow-ups: (a) and (b) would help me improve the under-referenced Robert W. Smith (writer) — could you give me the title and author of that 25 Dec 1983 piece (SM11), and the full bibliography list from that Contemporary Authors entry (if it is not too long to paste)? (c) On the original request: newspapers.com's coverage of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution in the 1980s–90s is known to be incomplete — does anyone here have ProQuest access to the AJC for the same "Allen Pittman" search? Thanks again. DaoFlow (talk) 08:50, 12 July 2026 (UTC) [reply ]

@DaoFlow: Regarding the 25 Dec 1983 piece, turns out that was in the Magazine section of the WaPo, presumably SM means Sunday Magazine. Here's the citation: Denny, Robert (25 December 1983). "THE KUNG FOOEY OF SELF DEFENSE: Why the martial arts may not be the best choice for dark alleys". The Washington Post . pp. SM11. ProQuest 147492461.

Regarding AJC, I have Factiva access 1986-present, which turned up one result from 16 May 1987, and unless your Pittman was a bookstore owner, I doubt they're the same person:

[David] Hunt's books also are selling well at the Crossroads Christian Book Store, 3567 Chamblee-Tucker Road, according to owner Allen Pittman.

@ARandomName123: Wonderful — thank you, that is everything I needed. One amusing correction for the record: the bookstore owner is the same Allen Pittman — a 1991 profile of him records that he ran his parents' Atlanta bookshop in the 1980s while teaching martial arts on the side. A trivial mention, so it does not change the sourcing picture, but the identification is correct. The Denny citation and the Contemporary Authors bibliography will go straight into Robert W. Smith (writer). Much appreciated. DaoFlow (talk) 16:05, 15 July 2026 (UTC) [reply ]

• Requesting the earliest recorded use of the phrase "algorithmic amplification". I have checked the OED and it does not appear to have an exact entry for the phrase. Ordinary web searches have not returned a solid earliest-use result. An OED entry giving a first-attestation date and quotation would be ideal if I have missed one. Failing that, the earliest datable usages anyone can find in dictionaries, academic databases, legal or policy databases, historical news corpora, or web archives would let me assess whether a short note on the term's origin can be added.

For the first source, there were a total of 4 volumes published. Ideally I would like to request for all 4 of the volumes as they are legal text and is therefore free from copyright. If that is not possible, I would like to look for Volume 2, specifically Chapter 45 where the text of the FMS Penal Code was located.

For the second source, I would like to have the full text of it.
