William McCrum

I'm trying to find the obituary of William McCrum. This FIFA page mentions 'In 1932 an obituary appeared in a Northern Ireland paper in Milford, County Armagh'. I don't know the exact date of the obit' or which paper it was in but it must have been in late December as he died 'just before Christmas'. Sorry for the vagueness, any hints appreciated.

• There is an obit in the Irish Times (22 Dec 1932); William McCrum died 21 Dec 1932: Irish Times 1932 contains link to original source.—Ash (talk) 13:38, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Jelqing

"There has been only one study on “jelqing” done by Dr. Brian Richards in the late 1970s. The British Journal of Sexual Medicine published the results. According to the study, 87 percent of men had positive results." [1]. Does anyone have access or exact bibliographical reference? [2] -- Thanx Cherubino 12:46, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

The only remotely similar reference I could find in Pubmed was Richards BA. "Mechanical aids to sex." Br J Sex Med. 1975 Oct;2(5):33-5, 37. No abstract available. PMID: 830127 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]." This is probably it, but I don't have access to the journal. The term doesn't appear anywhere in PubMed, which is pretty suspicious. -- phoebe/(talk) 01:07, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

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)

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 [3]. Long list, sorry, but thanks for any assistance. Sitush (talk) 05:48, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

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)

Sorry, it looks like its just snippet view in the US as well. GabrielF (talk) 15:04, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

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)
