Dictionary of Business Biography and Who Was Who

 N - no point in cluttering this page with the outstanding requests any longer. The article got GA status without the info, & I can live with that. - Sitush (talk) 00:05, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am trying to track down biographical information for the article on Churchill Machine Tool Company and would be grateful if anyone has access to either or both of the Dictionary of Business Biography (ed: David J Jeremy, Butterworths 1984-86, 5 volumes, isbn for the first is 0406273413) or really old copies of Who Was Who could see look into any available entries for:

  • Sir Greville Simpson Maginness (born 1888)
  • Arthur Chamberlain (d. circa 1941 - not his father, who had same name and who died in 1913) - sorted, thanks to user:Smallman12q
  • Herbert Chamberlain (1845-1904)
  • Walter Chamberlain (b. 1847)
  • Charles Churchill (b. 1838, USA - d. Feb 1916)
  • John William Wright Gabriel (b. 1860)

All of the above were directors of Charles Churchill & Co Ltd and/or The Churchill Machine Tool Co Ltd. & they mostly had fingers in many pies.

Also, the article on Maginness in the periodical Sheet Metal Industries, volume 25 (1948) p. 1997 - there is a snippet view here [1]. Long list, sorry, but thanks for any assistance. Sitush (talk) 05:48, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am pretty sure that this Sheet Metal Industries item is available for full view in the US - if anyone in the USA is prepared to check this then I'd be grateful. It looks like it might fill a few gaps. - Sitush (talk) 09:51, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, it looks like its just snippet view in the US as well. GabrielF (talk) 15:04, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
OK, thanks for trying. I'll leave this up for another week and then strike it. Looks like I'll have to find someone prepared to dig around in the British Library/Cambridge University Library - Sitush (talk) 15:23, 20 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Help dating 18th century French painter Antoine Graincourt

edit

Hi friends. I'm attempting to resolve the dating inconsistency in the Antoine Graincourt article and a simple google search is not cutting it. Could someone who has access to an academic library or database help? The article says in the text Graincourt's dates are 1699-1753, but also places him in the category 1748 births and 1823 deaths.

Google searches suggest that the dates 1699-1753 are probably wrong: being actually the birth and death dates for one of the people Graincourt painted, Bertrand-François Mahé de La Bourdonnais. For example, see this biography of Mahé at Biographie.net ("né à Saint-Malo le 11 février 1699 et mort à Paris le 10 novembre 1753") or this museum page from a museum that has Mahé's portrait in its collection, and attributes the 1699-1753 dates to Graincourt, not Mahé. Google also turned up one source for Graincourt completing a painting after 1753: a copy of Hyacinthe Rigaud's portrait of the Marechal de Tourville; the copy is said to have been made in 1780-82

However, even if 1699-1753 is wrong, google can't help me confirm that 1748-1823 is correct. Those dates don't seem to have any online source except Wikipedia and Wikipedia mirrors/copies. Plus, Graincourt paintings include people who died before 1748, such as François Louis de Rousselet, Marquis de Châteaurenault (1637-1716) and René Duguay-Trouin (1673-1736) – though I suppose those could also be copies of earlier paintings. I hope all this is enough info. Thanks! WikiJedits (talk) 15:02, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have found support for the 1748 birth date through google books. See here; likewise (with considerable overlap) for a year of death in 1823 [2]. I find no support for 1699 ([3]); hits are coincidental. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:55, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much. BTW, do you have access to the full versions of any of those books? While most simply give his dates in a one-line list-type entry, these two look like they might include some actual biographical text that we could use to expand the article – if we could access it.
1. Vivre et mourir à Saint-Etienne aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles‎ - Page 70 … Antoine Graincourt n'a pas laissé un souvenir important, selon les critiques « son dessin est ... Antoine Graincourt commence sa série de tableaux en 1780. ...

Hi WhisperToMe!
When you have received what you asked for in a request, here on WP:Resource exchange (and on the Reference desks), then it is a good thing if you put in a {{resolved}} as the first line just beneath the heading.
This both facilitates automated archiving AND it makes all the helpful people avoid wasting any time, instead letting them jump right to the other sections(requests) where their time and attention is needed.
In cases where you have put multiple resource requests under one heading and not all have been answered yet, then it is a good thing if you use strikeout on the parts of the request that have been answered. (Like DrPda did on part of your request above). It is done like this: 
<S>3.Third part of my request.</S>
which results in: 3.Third part of my request.) :-)
P.S.
Generally it is best if (the work of) adding the {{resolved}} and the <S></S> is done by the one who gets the answer rather than by the one who gives it (or anyone else).
--Seren-dipper (talk) 16:45, 17 October 2010 (UTC) :-)[reply]
Aha, I see. From now on I will use "strikeout" when I get a fulfilled request on this page. Once I get the Lexington articles I will add "resolved." Thank you :) WhisperToMe (talk) 03:05, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Chemical Trade Journal

edit
  Resolved

I'm seeking pages 235-236 of The Chemical Trade Journal, vol 4 (Jan - June 1889). I can see it in snippet view and [here] but really could do with the entire pages. Can anyone assist please? Sitush (talk) 08:57, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hm, looks like a Google metadata error when scanned from the NYPL. Other volumes are PD-old, including Volume 5, so you might try giving googlebooks feedback (see the link at the bottom of their page). They may be able to just tweak the metadata and free it up.

It's a thought, but I'm in the UK and they do not/cannot give a hoot. The copyright laws are different and we're quite restricted in what we're allowed to see on Google Books cf what people in the US are allowed to see. I can see more than 3 or 4 lines of any Chemical Trade Journal - Sitush (talk) 21:45, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like it should be available from Hathitrust to IP addresses in the US. They are very cautious about infringing non-US copyrights, blocking access to foreign origin material from 1869-1923 except to US users. In England, the original should be available at the BL (DSC Boston Spa), Newcastle University or Cambridge (check their catalogues for Volume 4). You may be able to get some wikipedian near there to do the legwork if it's not feasible for you. See WP:LIB. It was a weekly, so I think you are looking for one of the April 1889 issues based on the page numbers. Or you could seek out an editor with access to a major US library who can get it from Hathitrust. LeadSongDog come howl! 21:59, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for that. Although I went to Cambridge Uni, I have already tried that particular route and got nowhere (so much for the "famed old boy network") I think I will have to find a receptive US editor. There must be one. Daft thing is, this is a bit speculative: because I can only see about 4 lines of the thing I am not sure how much of that which I cannot see is of use - but something in it will be. Talk about teasers! Thanks again for your help and advice. -Sitush (talk) 23:51, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sally Pero / Equalizers

edit

In a paper by Sidney Darlington it is mentioned that Sally Pero (nee Sally Pero Mead) may have been the first person to build an equalizer. I am trying to get a date for this which Darlington unfortunatley does not give. We are talking ATT here so the publication platform is likely the Bell System Technical Journal. If someone can find the index to this, please let me know when (or if) she published. The invention was in connection with submarine telegraph cables so the time-frame is early 20th century, maybe 1920ish. SpinningSpark 17:01, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Phase Distortion and Phase Distortion Correction (April 1928, Vol. VII, Issue 2, Page 195)

Update: I've read some of the RS Noticeboard discussions now. It s/b noted first of all that this is (a) a UK publication, not the US one, and (b) it is not "Who's Who". It is also not being requested for a biographical purpose at all, living person or otherwise. The consensus, as for example illustrated in this discussion, is that care needs to be taken but errors are usually of omission, which is not a problem for my requirements. I really want to nail this article, which I've developed more or less solo from pretty much a stub.

I've been trying to clean up citations in Benito Mussolini, and I found this citation:

"Mussolini's Cultural Revolution: Fascist or Nationalist?". jch.sagepub.com. 8 January 2008.

I looked up the URL, and found that it's not a journal article, it's not dated January 2008, and it's not accessible without a SAGE subscription (or a fee of $25 for one day of access, which I wouldn't expect anyone to pay). I restated the citation like this:

"Mussolini's Cultural Revolution: Fascist or Nationalist?". Journal of Contemporary History. 7 (3). SAGE Journals Online: 115–139. April 1972. doi:10.1177/002200947200700308. Retrieved 2011-03-23.(subscription required)

Correcting the citation template was easy. But can anyone confirm that the article text is in fact supported by the citation? The following text is from the Rome-Berlin relations section of the article:

With the assassination of Dollfuss, Mussolini attempted to distance himself from Hitler by rejecting much of the racialism (particularly Nordicism and Germanicism) and anti-Semitism espoused by the German radical. Mussolini during this period rejected biological racism, at least in the Nazi sense, and instead emphasized "Italianizing" the parts of the Italian Empire he had desired to build. He declared that the ideas of Eugenics and the racially charged concept of an Aryan nation were not possible.

Interesting source. I assume you meant 1888 as the start date instead of 1915? It looks like Google has digitized these and when I use my university library portal to search I have access to most years from 1890 - 1905. However, many of those years don't show up when I go directly to books.google.com and search there so I think they might be restricted to certain universities.

Hmmm, I see a similar work cited on p.124 of this book, which might relate to this paper, but you are more likely looking for OCLC 49875944, also catalogued as OCLC 612106352. It seems to be fairly widely held. LeadSongDog come howl! 21:46, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I did not mention that the Munich copy is unavailable, maybe lost at the library where it is recorded. Of course I tried to get it myself there first before making requests here. On this attempt I spent about half an hour with a librarian in a charming little library just off a balcony that is overlooking some mounted dinosaurs. While the librarian tried to locate the publication and did not find it, I browsed through early editions of Darwin's Origins of Species and Descent of Man. I love libraries and I know my way around them. Please deal with this request and me as a capable, long term Wikipedian and avid contributor to the corresponding Germany counterpart of this page. I do know what I am doing and I know why I am asking here. Again: I am looking for a scan of a short excerpt of a fairly widely available publication, can someone please help me get it? --h-stt !? 13:12, 9 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Don't get me wrong... I'm a German Wikipedian as well and I didn't want to push you off. The magazine is held at Frankfurt University, the book at FU Berlin and TU Freiberg. So I thought, you could be able to get the scan quite fast over there. If that's not possible we'll have to wait for someone resolving this for you here.

Great! Yes, it is the two pages prior to the heading "Religious and political symbolism in the Tanjavur temple", in the section you refer to.

I have made the articles on these species without the papers requested here. I would still like access, but it seems that is not going to happen. For clean-up purposes it might be better to mark this one as resolved. Ruigeroeland (talk) 08:01, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I should be able to get them apart from some technical problems, as I've told Ruigeroeland. Anyone else? —innotata 22:28, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Sent them. —innotata 13:45, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"santorum" in OED?

edit
  Resolved

This is one I should do myself, but I'm being lazy, and hopefully someone has instant recourse to the current OED. Is "santorum" in the OED? Mostly I'm looking for a yes/no, but I'd be interested what the entry says. Wnt (talk) 20:11, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is not in the OED. GabrielF (talk) 23:58, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
FWIW, the timeline on the OED website indicates that they added only 28 new words between 2000 and 2004, and none since.   Will Beback  talk  23:02, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, I'm not sure that's true. There's a "What's New" page[20] which says that the dictionary is updated four times a year (latest June 2011) and has a list of new words. I think the timeline shows when the words were coined rather than when they were added to the dictionary. (A word might have been first used 50 years ago but only added to the OED this month.) GabrielF (talk) 23:53, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That makes more sense - it's hard to imagine why they wouldn't keep adding words.   Will Beback  talk  00:11, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
An aside: as someone who studied at Cambridge University and in full acceptance that there is a traditional rivalry between that and Oxford University, the fact that Oxford might be negligent in their scholarship comes as no surprise what so ever. <g> - Sitush (talk) 00:14, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps so. I think I've figured out the apparent discrepancy. The timeline shows the date of first uses, not the date of addition to the dictionary.[21][22] The words added this year were first used long ago.[23] The newest words are from 2004, though new words coined earlier have been added. The lesson is that they don't add words that are newer than six years.   Will Beback  talk  00:46, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Good detecting. Would be great if they allowed you to add a [clarification needed] tag to their pages! - Sitush (talk) 01:00, 24 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
