Looking for articles about "École allemande Humboldt" in newspapers in Quebec edit

{{resolved}} For Alexander von Humboldt German International School Montreal

Hello! I'm trying to find any historical newspaper articles that give in-depth coverage to the school (known as "École internationale allemande Alexander von Humboldt" in French) in Montreal. This is for a relevant articles for deletion on FRwiki. I noticed Montreal Gazette had archives on Newspapers.com but I havent found other archives of English newspapers.

Thanks, WhisperToMe (talk) 13:29, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WhisperToMe, have you tried searching the Bibliothèque et Archives Nationales du Québec (BanQ)? They have pretty extensive archives over there. Szmenderowiecki (talk) 15:48, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Not yet. Lemme see what I can find there today. Thank you for the tip! WhisperToMe (talk) 15:51, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
From my first search result I found a good primary source: an international agreement on the operations of the school. It's not the secondary sources that I had looked for, but it's compelling and would be a good further reading entry. WhisperToMe (talk) 19:57, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
WhisperToMe, what's the progress on this request? Szmenderowiecki (talk) 15:02, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Szmenderowiecki: The good news is that the FRwiki article survived its AFD due to other sources I found in English (and one in French). It's no longer critical to find these, though it may still be nice if a French speaking Wikipedian knew of additional resources and stumbled upon this request. WhisperToMe (talk) 20:16, 2 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Well I speak some French but I'm not based in Quebec so that's about everything I can offer.
You may try to look into archives of some Montreal newspapers, look here for possible candidates. Szmenderowiecki (talk) 13:12, 3 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Here's what I find of relevance from searching Dow Jones Factiva for humboldt montreal german school; there are 413 results, so I did a lot of skimming/skipping, but I eventually got to the end of the list. Let me know if you'd like me to send you content from or provide additional information about any of this; I already have your email address in case anything is too long for me to be comfortable with posting it publicly.

For Radoslav Holúbek, to help demonstrate notability. It is known that he is mentioned somewhere in the book, although the depth is uncertain.

Thanks, BeanieFan11 (talk) 00:42, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@BeanieFan11: How did you find that he's mentioned in there? If you're able to determine the page number, I can request a scan from OCLC 40418362 via interlibrary loan. I'm in the US, and Google Books isn't even letting me search within the book, but are you able to search it from where you are?
If needed, I guess I could request the whole book and try to look through it myself, but I don't read Slovak, and I don't know if it has a useful index or table of contents, and I'd rather not look through 211 pages, so that might be too difficult.
Solomon Ucko (talk) 05:18, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Sollyucko: I know he is mentioned in there because when I searched for "Holúbek Radoslav" (in quotes) on Google Books on 6 February, that book showed up as the only result, meaning there must have been a text or metadata match. It didn't say the page number, and frustratingly now when I search for that phrase GBooks says no results. Using some context we know about the person (i.e. his time period and event), we would have to find him in the whole book, I think. --Habst (talk) 13:31, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Habst:
Got it, I figured it was probably something like that, given how finicky and inconsistent Google Books is. Should I try requesting the whole book, then? Once it arrives (probably in a number of weeks), I'll send you the front and back matter, and you can let me know where you think he'd be most likely to be mentioned, and then I'll try to look through those parts to see where specifically he is mentioned.
Solomon Ucko (talk) 15:16, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Sollyucko, okay, that will work. Thank you for doing this by the way, it is much appreciated. --Habst (talk) 15:19, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Habst: Alright, sounds good; I've requested it, then.
Solomon Ucko (talk) 15:26, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@BeanieFan11 and Habst: I've received this, but why are there two of you? Sending copyrighted materials to multiple people seems possibly legally unfavorable, so I'll do my best to select just one of you.
If you're still interested, contact me via Special:EmailUser so I can send you files. If you're not interested, please let me know by any method so I can be aware.
I'll give User:BeanieFan11 priority due to initiating the request, but if User:Habst wants to do it, and User:BeanieFan11 doesn't reply for some unspecified amount of time or confirms they're not interested, I'll go ahead and work with User:Habst.
Solomon Ucko (talk) 21:35, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Sollyucko: Sending to Habst would probably be better, given that he was leading the way for the article to be kept and was the one who originally found the source. (I'm also too busy to spend much effort in looking at the source currently.) BeanieFan11 (talk) 21:40, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Got it, thanks for letting me know. I've gotten an email from Habst asking for it, so I'll work with them, then.
FYI, I didn't get a ping, since I think it needs to be on a new line to work, but I get notifications for all non-minor edits to the page, so I saw it anyways. Sorry that my signature is different from my username.
Solomon Ucko (talk) 22:16, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Sollyucko, I've sent you an email, thanks. --Habst (talk) 22:13, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@BeanieFan11 and Habst: I'm having trouble finding any mention of Radoslav Holúbek in this book. I checked all the chapters and sections with no date or with a date on or after 1994. For alphabetical lists, I looked for both "Radoslav" and "Holúbek"; otherwise, I skimmed the whole thing. Should I look for any earlier years or any other spellings of his name?
If I don't get a response in about a week, or if my loan is recalled sooner, I'm planning to return the book then.
Solomon Ucko (talk) 23:14, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Sollyucko, thank you so much for your help with this, also apologies for my slowness to respond after the first look. The bottom line is, when I try to search for "Holúbek Radoslav" in quotes on Google Books, you can see it shows up as a result: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Hol%C3%BAbek+Radoslav%22&tbm=bks. I even archived it to show that: https://web.archive.org/web/20240325182121/https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Hol%C3%BAbek+Radoslav%22&tbm=bks. I first found the book on 6 February, but then on 8 March when I tried the same query I got no results, and now when I try the query again I do get the book as a result.
Yet when we tried to look in the book, we couldn't find the name. As a hobby programmer, I'm very confused about this, because I don't see how Google could be displaying this book as the only result for the query in quotes if the search term wasn't present. At the same time, I don't want to hassle Sollyucko any more as it seems like he has already put in significant effort and time to search through it, and he has already looked through all of my recommendations based on my read of the front matter. For the next person to pick this up, maybe contacting the book author would be the best next step. Thank you again to Sollyucko. --Habst (talk) 18:29, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Habst: Yeah, I see it now too, huh. It shows up without a page number and is marked as "No Preview", and the metadata doesn't mention a library they obtained it from, so I don't know if they have the full text but are refusing to share it, or if they only have metadata.
As a test, I tried searching Google Books for various phrases in the book, and only some of them include the book in the search results, so I'm very confused. I suspect that at least one of the following is taking place:
  • I keep making typos
  • Google has a bad OCR of the book
  • Google only has text for part of the book
  • Google is intentionally hiding some results due to copyright/licensing restrictions
  • Google doesn't actually have full text for the book, and is just guessing based on the book's metadata and references from other sources to the book
  • IDK what else could cause this, but let me know if you think of any other possiblities
Google Books is super useful, but its search results are so finicky, inconsistent, and unreliable; I find it very frustrating...
I plan to hold on to the book for a few more days in case anyone has any more ideas or anything else they'd like me to try, but I'll need to return it eventually, and I'm not sure there's much point in keeping it for too much longer.
Solomon Ucko (talk) 19:05, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@BeanieFan11 and Habst: Running out of ideas and seeing no response for a week, I'm going to return this book. I guess this request is {{resolved}}, then?
Solomon Ucko (talk) 17:03, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Sollyucko, OK, thank you for your help. I also don't have any more ideas, other than contacting the author or looking elsewhere for sources. Another possibility is that Google is using some form of AI for searches, and it is simply "guessing" that the quoted search terms are in this book because of the related topic. I wish it was more transparent. --Habst (talk) 17:18, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Habst: Yeah, I guess so... I'm wondering about contacting Google, but I'm not sure how likely they are to respond... I guess I'll return the book now, and if we come up with any more leads for where to look in the future, I can try to request it again.

Blast! Thanks Doc Taxon for that effort, and sorry—the no-preview Gbooks blurb gave no indication that it was an edited collection.

You can search through it on Google Books (shows snippets, but only 3 matches for each search query) and HathiTrust (shows all results but only the number of occurrences on each page). If you have specific pages you're interested in seeing in full, I can try to request a scan of OCLC 32864001 via interlibrary loan.

After your search, I am going to have conclude that my source likely conflated Беспалов et al. (2016) with another paper in Почвоведение and created a corrupted citation. Your efforts are well appreciated. My aopologies for wasting your time. I am going to find an index for the 2015 Почвоведение just to see what, if any, paper was possibky conflated with Беспалов et al. (2016).

State Focus references edit

For CTC (TV station) (the Canberra Times reference) & 10 (Southern Cross Austereo) (the Newcastle Herald reference)

Hey, the above sources intend to show that State Focus premiered on Southern Cross Ten in February 2004. The Canberra Times reference is to be in the CTC (TV station) article, because I am trying to improve that article, per the fact that CTC and State Focus were broadcasting from the same Canberra studios in Watson. The reference from the Canberra Times is not available on ProQuest (and therefore not available on The Wikipedia Library). However, I will add the Newcastle Herald reference about the program to the 10 (Southern Cross Austereo) article in the coming days as it is available on ProQuest. Can you please provide additional information for the Canberra Times reference as I cannot find a page mentioning the State Focus program?

Thanks, Yours sincerely, Bas (or TechGeek105) (talk to me) 09:53, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have already added the Newcastle Herald article about State Focus as a reference on the 10 (Southern Cross Austereo) article, so you just need to focus (see what I did there) on the Canberra Times article about State Focus, which will be on the CTC (TV station) article.

@Jpcase: How did you find these citations?
Solomon Ucko (talk) 15:08, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Sollyucko: I found all of these through ProQuest.
Not sure why the Grand Rapids Press article isn't showing up in their archives - if it's helpful, the author is Terry Deboer, and the article was published on page 7.
As for the Chicago Sun-Times articles, "Former pop 'Idol' turns to Christian music" is by Colleen Long and was published on page 8, while "Runners-up are anything but idle ; Though they didn't win, just being on the show put some singers' fame on fast-forward" is by Karu F Daniels and was published on page 39.
You're right - "SOME ALSO-RAN SUCCESS STORIES" and "How can you keep them down on the farm ...?" are identical articles to each other, which I somehow failed to notice, and do seem to be an exact match with the second article at the bottom of the Ocala webpage - thanks for pointing that out!
"Found!" is actually part of the title for the USA Today article, so I'm still looking for that one. If you're able to track it down by any chance, let me know! Thanks for your help already! --Jpcase (talk) 20:15, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Got it, thanks, that helps.
They're not in my university's ProQuest subscription, but they are in Wikipedia's and some are in my public library's, but I can't see the full text, only an abstract and metadata. I wish I could be logged into all of those subscriptions at the same time rather than having to constantly switch between them...
FYI for any future requests you might make (and also for when you're citing sources), the more information you can specify about where to find the source, the easier it'll be for us to find and get it for you. Publisher, location, and ISSN help disambiguate publications with the same name, and ISSN in particular makes searching for it way easier, and can allow my ILL (inter-library loan) requests to get semi-automatically processed within 24 hours. Page numbers allow locating the article without checking every single page, and are often a requirement for ILL. Author names can sometimes make searching for it easier. Specifying the database you used allows others to check that database to see if they have additional access and to check for any metadata that they might find useful if you didn't already mention it. Things like subjects and summaries are usually omitted, since they take up a lot of space but provide limited value.
I've put in ILL requests for #1–4.
I got #1 (the US Today article) from the Internet Archive about half an hour after submitting it. I swear I tried to search for it there myself first, but maybe I searched for USA instead of US? Anyways, here's a link; let me know if you'd like me to send you the whole PDF I received: https://archive.org/details/sim_us-weekly_2004-04-19_479.

I can try requesting an interlibrary loan for OCLC 881631050 (no special relationship) and/or OCLC 35844852 (within Big Ten); let me know if I should.
HathiTrust and Google Books agree that Huaynaputina does not appear in "Il paradiso del Magnifico Regno"; HathiTrust says that "Etna" appears on pp. 1, 106, 135, 137, whereas Google Books says pp. 19, 20, 83, and seven more locations.

It seems like it's two sources so I have split the first one off, but I don't understand why Huaynaputina doesn't appear in the second. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 09:54, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like your request is the entire contents of 5 chapters, so there's a good chance that an ILL request will get rejected. How did you come up with that page range?
OTOH, it seems to be out of print, and the publisher seems probably defunct, so the publisher can't really argue that you should've purchased the book legitimately, since it seems like it'd be a second-hand copy anyways, so should I try requesting a scan via ILL and see what they say? Here's some information I found about the publisher: it:Domenico Sanfilippo Editore, https://www.fieg.it/chisiamo.asp?sector=imp_imp&id=059, https://web.archive.org/web/20200221170740/http://www.dseditore.it/home.htm

I think the ILL is worth trying. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 10:58, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm willing to give it a try, but why those pages? Are you specifically interested in the aftermath of the 1669 eruption? FWIW, I found a citation to that page range in https://www.viella.it/download/7048/18d4a449a56d/heroes-in-dark-times.pdf. If you're working on Huaynaputina, I think pp. 24-30 might be more relevant? Should I try to request a physical copy of the book so that I can more easily find and send you anything relevant?
Solomon Ucko (talk) 15:36, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I am interested in the aftermath and management of the 1669 eruption - I guess the issue is that 121 pages is an entire book, yes? For Huaynaputina, 24-30 might work. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 07:44, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question for you though - the emails went to an old, outdated address that is no longer linked with my Wikipedia account. I still have access to that address, so no need to resend the files, but I'm guessing you may have sent them to the that address because you've emailed me at that address in the past, back when I did have it linked with my Wikipedia account? If that's the case, then I just wanted to give you a heads up, since I may not be checking that address as much going forward.

Bird name synonym edit

{{stale}}

For Aldabra fody, as I am doing a major expansion of the article and I cannot figure out who the first author to use the synonym Foudia eminentissima aldabrana was; I think it was most probably Moreau, but I need confirmation (strangely, no taxonomic database I have visited has mentioned this name, but it is brought up by the IUCN and others without making it clear who used it first). If not here, Birds of the World, which I also cannot access, may have some information.

Thanks, Anonymous 06:38, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@An anonymous username, not my real name: This article is available at Springer Link in The Wikipedia Library. You should have access to it. If not, I can send it to you. —Bruce1eetalk 07:22, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Bruce1ee, unsure why I couldn't find it there. Sadly, it does not use the name F. e. aldabrana, but it does state that the bird is most likely conspecific with a different fody. Unsure where to go from here. Anonymous 18:06, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It is Ridgway as given on the article. Added a ref there for the original description. Its placement as a subspecies of eminentissima does not change the taxonomic authority. Shyamal (talk) 07:56, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@User:Shyamal, but Ridgway described it as a full species. It was then described by later authors as a subspecies (now considered a species again), but I can't figure out who first did this. Anonymous 18:06, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@An anonymous username, not my real name, I just looked at the birds of the world entry, and it doesn't seem like it says anything about this, but I'm not sure how to interpret some of the abbreviations. I can send you a copy if you would like. Eddie891 Talk Work 15:25, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In the article you linked, I don't see a mention of "eminentissima", but Figure 2 on p. 34 is captioned "Foudia beaks"; #7 is "aldabrana (Aldabra)". It cites https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/partpdf/52121 from 1894, which refers to "Foudia aldabrana".
Searching my university's EBSCOhost subscription, I found citations to Frith, C. B. (1976). "A twelve-month study of the Aldabran Fody Foudia eminentissima aldabrana". Ibis. 118: 155–178. in:
That cited article is in the Wikipedia Library: https://onlinelibrary-wiley-com.wikipedialibrary.idm.oclc.org/doi/epdf/10.1111/j.1474-919X.1976.tb03064.x. The oldest citation I see in there is to the article you asked for. Benson 1963 doesn't seem to mention this species, but Benson 1967 does, searched with the help of HathiTrust: it describes the species starting on p. 87; on pp. 102-103, it says that it's a subspecies; and there are some additional matches.
I know basically nothing about zoology, but I hope this helps?

According to Google, 200 RUB is just 2.21 USD (and apparently https://ras.jes.su/history/s207987840027707-6-1-en has it for just half that), so I would be happy to even pay for it myself, but I don't feel comfortable putting my credit card information into a Russian website...
I could attempt to request an interlibrary loan, but I'm having trouble finding a good WorldCat entry to reference... Searching for journals with ISSN 2079-8784, I see OCLC 1404284894, which is a digital and held solely by the Marshall Center Research Library in Germany, and OCLC 1404363057, which is also digital, and held by no-one, but links to Elsevier Scopus, which only has metadata, abstract, and references. I can give it a try if you'd like, in about a month when ILL demand is at its lowest.

Wow! Wherever did you find them?? As for the Camarena/Chevalier book, the googlebooks summary is incomplete:
    • It lacks type 425, "El esposo desaparecido/perdido" or the like, which does not appear. Instead, it jumps straight from type 403A, "EL HÉROE ALABA A SU HERMANA ANTE EL RE" ("Hero compliments his sister to the king") to type 437, "LA NOVIA SUPLANTADA LA ESPINA DEL PRÍNCIPE" ("The Supplanted Bride/The Needle Prince"). I'm looking for types 425 and its subtypes and 428.
    • It also does not list 533A, "Caballo Mágico salva a la novia del diablo" ("Magic Horse saves girl from Devil"), which should be located near 533, "La Culebra Ayudante" ("The Helpful Female Snake").
    • The Summary also ends at type 706B. I'm also looking for type 707, "Los Tres Niños de Oro" ("Three Golden Sons/Children").
