Hello, my friend! I know we are getting into Thanksgiving vacation time, so no hurry on this, but I'm wondering if you have access to a version of this [https://search.worldcat.org/search?q=951-53-1741-X&offset=1 book] by Leena Ahtola-Moorhouse. I believe it is only available in Finnish or Swedish, which is fine, but I'm looking for the single page catalogue entry for [[Self-Portrait (Ellen Thesleff)|''Self-Portrait'']], which is known as either ''Omakuva'' or ''Självporträtt'', respectively. I think it's unlikely you will have access to these works, but I thought I would ask in the rare event that you do. Thanks for everything.

:@[[User:Spongebob796|Spongebob796]]: Hello. You asked your question on [[Thanksgiving (United States)|a national holiday in the United States]], and I was spending time with my family. Practically every single editor on this site is a volunteer, and [[Wikipedia:There is no deadline|there is no deadline]], so patience is always appreciated. Regarding your original question, those are unreliable sources, and I wouldn't include statements like that. Your or I could personally visit a Miraheze wiki or Reddit ''right now'' and call a company weird—there's no reason for Wikipedia to use any information from such sources.

* On 1 January 2025, a one-month backlog drive for new pages patrol will begin in hopes of addressing the growing backlog.
Hello
* Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled.
I want to add a prominent person to Wikipedia
* Each article review will earn 1 point, while each redirect review will earn 0.2 points.
Can you guild me --[[User:Limejuice Olivet|Limejuice Olivet]] ([[User talk:Limejuice Olivet|talk]]) 08:21, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
* [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/January 2025#Streak awards|Streak awards]] will be given out based on consistently hitting point thresholds for each week of the drive.

Question

[edit]

Hello, my friend! I know we are getting into Thanksgiving vacation time, so no hurry on this, but I'm wondering if you have access to a version of this book by Leena Ahtola-Moorhouse. I believe it is only available in Finnish or Swedish, which is fine, but I'm looking for the single page catalogue entry for Self-Portrait, which is known as either Omakuva or Självporträtt, respectively. I think it's unlikely you will have access to these works, but I thought I would ask in the rare event that you do. Thanks for everything. Viriditas (talk) 23:08, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Viriditas: Hey! I've requested a copy through my library. I've said it before and I'll say it again: the folks in my interlibrary loan department are real-life magicians. I'm in a Big Ten Academic Alliance school, so their reach spreads pretty far. We'll see what they can do on this one! I'll be heading out of town for Thanksgiving to see family, so if it arrives after 11/27, it'll wait at my library until 12/2. I'll pin this section and let you know when they get back to me with some news. Bsoyka (tcg) 03:11, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Viriditas: Just got an email saying this one has shipped to my library! Bsoyka (tcg) 20:53, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Great news. I hope you have a fantastic Thanksgiving with friends and family! Viriditas (talk) 20:54, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You as well!! Bsoyka (tcg) 21:09, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Viriditas: Sorry for the delay! Sent p. 134 by email. Bsoyka (tcg) 18:25, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, wow, that's super interesting. Pretty important stuff. Do you still have access to the book? I suspect there is at least one page about the work. Can you check the index? On the page you sent me, the work in question is listed as num. 25. (Självporträtt 1894-95) I suspect there's quite a bit about that work on at least one page. Cell phone pics are fine. Apologies for bothering you. Viriditas (talk) 20:04, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Viriditas: Hey! So sorry for the late reply, but I actually wasn't able to take that book out of the library so I no longer have it on hand. Bsoyka (tcg) 15:17, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
