Finding a source

Tips for finding a source yourself
Main page: WP:Find your source
  • Send a request to the author(s) of research papers for a copy of their paper by email.
  • Check sources available in The Wikipedia Library Bundle – immediate access for editors active for at least six months with over 500 edits, at least 10 of them in the last month, and with no active blocks.
    • Available databases include: EBSCO, JSTOR, Oxford, ProQuest
  • Consider applying for access to additional Wikipedia Library sources at The Wikipedia Library Card Platform.
    • Available databases include: Gale, Newspapers.com, Project MUSE, Taylor & Francis
  • Search for periodical titles in the Wikipedia Library database index at The Wikipedia Library/A–Z.
  • Check on Google Books, or your local library or national library may be able to obtain it through an interlibrary loan or subscription.
  • Search Google Scholar for archived copies of journals in institutional repositories.
  • Check whether your alma mater's library offers electronic document delivery services for alumni, if applicable.

Note that sites like Library Genesis (LibGen) and Sci-Hub offer direct, free access to a very large range of publications, but there are legal questions around their use and neither the Wikimedia Foundation nor the Wikipedia community endorses them.

Making a request
  • A request may be an open question or you may ask for a specific journal, article or work.
  • All kinds of sources are possible here: newspapers, magazine article, databases, encyclopedias, court decisions, laws, books, etc.
  • We cannot perform full book copy requests due to copyright. Please ask for specific pages that relate to the article(s) you need them for.
  • You may contact research helpers directly or make a request on this page.
  • To receive email without disclosing your email address publicly, configure your email in Special:Preferences.
  • Provide as much detail as possible: a full citation with author, title, publisher, and date or identifiers like DOI, ISBN, ISSN, PMID, OCLC, etc.
  • Indicate which Wikipedia articles are being improved.
  • Once a request has been fulfilled add the {{Resolved}} template.
  • Filled requests are archived.
  • Requests unfilled after three months will be archived.

Fulfilling a request

  • Anyone may offer advice and fulfill requests.
  • Indicate which part or parts of the request is being handled so others do not duplicate your work.
  • Notify (mention) the requester using {{ping|REQUESTER_USERNAME}}.
  • You can:
    • point to a pre-existing electronic document by giving its URL ( http://... )
    • share scans of pages or documents using a file-sharing service, provided it is legal
    • upload out of copyright works to Wikimedia Commons and/ or Wikisource (but be careful that this does not breach your own institution's policies)
    • email a link or plain text to a requester using the Special:EmailUser feature but for attachments, you need to ask them to mail you first so you can reply.

Copyright tips:

  • Respect copyrights and terms of services of any online services you use.
  • Share content in a limited manner that is targeted at as few individuals as possible to achieve a specific improvement on Wikipedia. All content is shared under a presumed non-commercial, educational, fair use purpose in order to conduct research about topics on Wikipedia and/or to improve Wikipedia content.
  • Share copies privately rather than with a publicly accessible link whenever possible. Copyrighted articles from print publications or copies obtained through online databases should not be uploaded for unrestricted distribution via open websites. Preferably, do not share login access codes for entire websites; rather, share only an individual copy of a resource.
  • Remember that you take on the individual risk when sharing content, and act in a way that is comfortable and safe for you. Individual editors are solely responsible for sharing copyrighted content and assume all legal risks.

Oricon weekly #1 singles from 1993-2004

  • "Single Chart-Book Complete Edition 1968-2005". Tokyo, Japan: Oricon. April 25, 2006. ISBN 4871310760. OCLC 676479535. {{cite journal}}: Cite journal requires |journal= (help)

This is to be able to create the redlinks found in the Number-one singles in Japan template. According to Worldcat, this book is found in the Yale University Library and the National Diet Library (in Japan). I don't have access to either of those. I don't know page numbers, and it will be a lot of them as I need the weekly #1 singles for every week within 1993-2004 to be able to create the articles.

Thanks for any help! Please ping me on any reply. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 18:04, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Nihonjoe, 17 articles appear to use this work as a reference. Pinging the users who added them, in the hope that someone can assist. Incidentally, it looks like you added this as a source to three articles; how were you able to obtain the work then?

@Usernameunique: I had access to it for a brief time, but I no longer have access to it (and no way to regain access at this time). I was remembering a different book used for a different set of refs. For these ones, the reference indicates that the cited site uses this book as a reference. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 21:00, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. I used the refs for KM articles based on forum archives of someone who allegedly bought the 1968–2005 book and posted the highest ranks per artists by request (the thread has been archived). Most of them are Western artists. I know it's not that reliable as a source but this is the only way for me to have access to the book. Here's the link if you're interested.

Not at all, Damian Vo. I had a number of failed pings at the time, and this one probably didn't fire—possibly because I signed the comment in a separate paragraph from the ping. --Usernameunique (talk) 19:05, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sdkb, the link that Bruce1ee just added gives you the option of buying the work for $20. But if it were me, I'd probably reach out to the authors (David Smukler contact info; David Millstone contact info) first, and see if they might spot me the pages given the intended use. --Usernameunique (talk) 07:06, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Usernameunique, thanks for following up. I don't really feel comfortable asking them to give their work away for free. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 19:15, 22 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Sdkb: Requested via ILL. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 17:56, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ooh, there's a library that'll do that? Much thanks! {{u|Sdkb}} talk 17:58, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Sdkb: I mean, I have no notion whether anyone will lend it. But nothing stops me from asking my librarians to try to obtain it. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 15:46, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Sdkb: No luck. I'm told it is only in one library overseas (from the United States), and they won't lend it. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 02:09, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Compassionate727, any word on which library has it? --Usernameunique (talk) 19:40, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Usernameunique: Liverpool Public Library (of New York, actually, so not overseas like I was told). My librarian suggests that this library is not lending anything right now, so this may or may not be related to COVID-19. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 12:34, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, I just searched Liverpool's own website, and if they have a copy they're not admitting so. I'll try calling my library and see if they might be willing to buy it. I very much appreciate the attempts to help! {{u|Sdkb}} talk 03:31, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sources for critical reception of 2007 Family Guy episode

Specifically if any critics mention anything regards to the racial slur "Chinese, Japanese, dirty knees" being used in the episode.

Thanks, Prisencolin (talk) 20:38, 17 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Prisencolin: We provide access to sources; we aren't going to do your research for you, not that we would know where to look anyway. I suggest you ask at a relevant WikiProject page for ideas. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 14:57, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
To be fair, Compassionate727, the top of the page does say that "A request may be an open question or you may ask for a specific journal, article or work", which some people have previously interpreted to apply to requests such as this one. On the other hand, WP:Reference desk/Humanities might be a better place to ask. When I did some Googling regarding this Family Guy episode, I came up with nothing. --Usernameunique (talk) 17:03, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Adaheli claim to fame or dubious conjecture

I'm trying to see if there's any truth to the claim that Adaheli is used in the song "Orinoco Flow". It's not in any official or unofficial lyrics, and it might simply be OR. Google, Gbooks, Gscholar yielded nothing, and since the song was really named for "Orinoco Studio" in England rather than the river specifically, it makes the claim more dubious.

I was wondering if this WSJ article has any mention? Cheers, Estheim (talk) 12:36, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Estheim: That Wall Street Journal article makes no mention of "Orinoco Flow". I'll do a bit more searching to see if I can find anything. —Bruce1eetalk 12:43, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks @Bruce1ee:, If you happen upon any sources about "Adaheli" the diety, I'd love that too; Gscholar came up blank. Cheers, Estheim (talk) 13:12, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Estheim: I haven't found anything linking Adaheli to "Orinoco Flow". But of course that doesn't mean it's not used in the song – I just didn't find anything. If you're looking for sources about Adaheli, the Internet Archive has several myth and legend encyclopedia here that mention Adaheli. —Bruce1eetalk 14:13, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Bruce1ee:, I'll take a look at those, appreciate it. I'm a bit disappointed I couldn't unravel the lyrical anomaly, mainly because that means I have been singing along with this song incorrectly for over 20 years. (I only hear "deh-ha, deh-ha"- I think this is going to haunt me foreverrr) For now I'll just add an unsourced tag. Cheers Estheim (talk) 15:28, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Estheim, have you tried asking Empaler, who added that claim last year to the Adaheli article, what the source is? --Usernameunique (talk) 02:50, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Usernameunique: Empaler seems to only edit every couple years or so, so we're unlikely to get a timely response. I agree the claim is OR and have removed it. @Estheim: around the same time, he made this addition to Orinoco; is this also OR? —Compassionate727 (T·C) 18:03, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Compassionate727, it's not controversial. Sources generally point out that Orinoco was the name of the song's recording studio as well as the actual river. Using "environs" might not be accurate though, unless all of South America is considered. (I have to fix one of my edits now: I thought I was looking at an official page, but it was a fan-page.)

March 1988 Daily Variety article

For Die Hard. I might not have enough information for this, I'm going from info in the AFI Catalog RE: the film, which just says it was a March 4, 1988 Daily Variety item in the text, but is absent from the citations at the end of the article so I can't specify. I've looked on Gale, Ebsco and Proquest but the DV articles there don't seem to go back far enough. If anyone has UCLA access it seems like you can access archives from here. The information is specific to the completion of filming of Die Hard. If the info is too vague I apologize and feel free to close the request.

Thanks, Darkwarriorblake / SEXY ACTION TALK PAGE! 12:26, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Darkwarriorblake: Congratulations on the Die Hard FA! Not sure if you are still interested in this — I found a Variety article on March 9, 1988 (not March 4 as AFI lists) that includes a brief two-sentence blurb about the film wrapping principal photography (which is what the AFI Catalog cites). Not sure about the date discrepancy. I've emailed it to you, in any case. DanCherek (talk) 16:02, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Absolutely still interested, thank you so much DanCherek! Darkwarriorblake / SEXY ACTION TALK PAGE! 16:38, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Times Guide to the House of Commons 2019

A number of UK Members of Parliament, mostly those first elected in 2019 (see List of United Kingdom MPs by seniority (2019–present), are missing an exact date of birth in their articles. I believe the most comprehensive publication with this info is The Times Guide to the House of Commons, which has most dates but is rather expensive to purchase. I feel this information is fairly important for such public figures, and it isn't generally published elsewhere, as far as I can tell. It needs a reliable source, due to disputes over whether other sites can be used to add the info.

For example, Theo Clarke only has a year of birth on her article. If someone has this book, I can provide a list of the MPs who are missing an exact date of birth, and then add the information with citations if it is provided. I've already done this for a few MPs, via a contact of mine with the book (but who I imagine may be a bit busy to reply to my requests for further dates).

Thanks, TrottieTrue (talk) 18:48, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thanks Mike Rohsopht. I'm told that Companies House is a "primary source", and therefore not allowed for BLP DOBs - I added a load of month and year DOBs to the articles in question, and the edits got reverted or removed. See my Talk page, and [3]. I personally see no problem with using freely available government records, such as Companies House. I assume you found the exact date for Clarke in the documentation at her CH profile - the Officer page just shows the month and year, but I've been told that the exact date (including day) can often be found by looking at the documents in the company's filing history.
@User:Bruce1ee Thanks for fixing the citation - the way I originally posted it is what the RefToolbar auto-populates the fields with when the book's ISBN is entered.--TrottieTrue (talk) 18:21, 29 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, that's true. Unfortunately, though the JSTOR access I get through TWL doesn't allow access to that, so we may have to wait for someone with proper institutational access. Sorry about that! ——Serial 11:57, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@TrangaBellam: While I can't download this through JSTOR, my library has a hard copy that I could borrow. But I don't have the capacity to manually scan 300 pages.

Need sources for two Degrassi books

I need clippings and page numbers from two books/novels related to the original Degrassi Talks shows.

The first is a novel adaptation of character Christine Nelson (better known as Spike), and it includes expansions on plotlines from the series, such as a further look into the stigma the character experiences as a pregnant teenager. However, while some of the book is available for preview on Google, not all of it is and there is some parts of the book that I feel may be of significance to the article missing. I would like anything in the book to do with the reactions of other characters to Spike's pregnancy, as well as her being removed from school by the PTA/school board with the page numbers.

The second is a non-fiction book based off the series Degrassi Talks, and is hosted by Amanda Stepto, the actress who portrayed Spike. The introduction interview of Stepto is available on the Wayback Machine to quote and cite information from directly, but I prefer to cite the book and not the web page, and I need the page numbers, as well as a hi-res scan of the front cover if possible.

@Melly42, I'm seeing on Worldcat only a few libraries in the US hold this US govt publication, so I'd assume that would mean it's unlikely to be in a German library. Sometimes it's worth trying to contact the authors, but this publication was in 1984. Even if they aren't retired, it's quite likely they never had a digitized version of their work.

Sources from newspapers, official charts, and magazines between 1990-2010

Currently working articles for the following artist: Thalía, Gian Marco, Arena Hash, Christian Meier, Natalia Oreiro, Maricarmen Marín, Chayanne, and Anna Carina. I'm looking for information regarding their albums and songs such as: chart placements, certifications, sales, awards, and reception.

  • Hoping to get information from sources like NewsBank, Oricon, or any other reliable source. If someone could help me with this, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks, FanDePopLatino (talk) 04:21, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@FanDePopLatino: It would be helpful if you could pinpoint specific articles within publications. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 18:07, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@RandomCanadian: yeah sorry about that. Here are some of the articles:

Gian Marco: A Tiempo, Resucitar, Al Quinto Día, Días Nuevos, Se Me Olvidó, Lamento, 8, Resucitar, No Te Avisa, Desde Adentro, En Vivo Desde El Lunario, also his albums from 1990-1996 and his 2006 greatest hits album so that I can make articles for them

Christian Meier: No Me Acuerdo Quien Fuí, any of his other albums either solo or with Arena Hash and also his song "Carreteras Mojadas"

Natalia Oreiro: Natalia Oreiro, Turmalina, Cambio Dolor, Tu Veneno

Thalía: Thalía's studio albums from 1990-2009 and also the singles from the albums, Greatest Hits, Thalía con banda: Grandes éxitos, Thalía's Hits Remixed

Anna Carina: any of her albums and also her songs from 1998-2016

Maricarmen Marín: any of her solo albums

Arena Hash: any of their albums

Chayanne: any of his albums FanDePopLatino (talk) 19:20, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@FanDePopLatino: What I meant was that RX is not for someone else to do the searching - it would be best if you instead provide precise citations for sources which you found but do not have access to (or at least, narrow the search by identifying specific issues of magazines or newspapers which talk about your subjects). Look at other requests on this page to see examples. Cheers, RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 19:09, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@RandomCanadian: oh okay. Sorry about that. If someone has information from NewsBank and Oricon book which list charts and sales because the Official site of Oricon Charts requires me to have an account or something to the the album's and song's performance on the chart. FanDePopLatino (talk) 19:20, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hey @RandomCanadian:, sorry about everything I wrote before. A friend on Wikipedia just taught me the proper way to make a request. So the information I'm looking for right now is regarding Greatest Hits (Thalía album). On this official website for Oricon it shows that the DVD sold in Japan and entered the charts. I can't see its chart position or sales number because I don't have an account with Oricon or have their sales book. If you or someone you know can find this information for me I would appreciate it.

@Pigsonthewing, have you tried messaging the holding library? It's a small library and I've found most libraries to be accommodating during Covid. Also looks like a similar work (accessioned under a different title) is held in several English collections, if those are more accessible. If you don't hear back, ping me and I can try an alumni request. czar 18:59, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Mathematics for the Multitude?" refs [HathiTrust access via some universities]

  • Price, Michael H. (1994). Mathematics for the Multitude?: A History of the Mathematical Association. Leicester, England: The Association. ISBN 0-906588-32-4. OCLC 1107758409.

Google Books' snippet view ([4]) of the index tells me that pp. 3, 8, 26, 32–33, 113–114, and 265 mention the Modern Language Association and pp. 3, 266 mention the Association for Language Learning. If someone could go to those pages, see which endnotes are being used to cite statements about the Modern Language Association or the Association for Language Learning, and then let me know which references are in those endnotes, I'd be very much appreciative. For instance, I can tell that endnote (10) for p. 3 and endnote (186) for p. 266 both look promising but I don't know what those are.

This book is in HathiTrust ([5]), where various university libraries have full access to the book, including Johns Hopkins, U. of Michigan, Indiana U., U. of Illinois, The Claremont Colleges, and UC Berkeley.

This would be for an article on the Modern Language Association of Great Britain and Ireland -- I'm still in the gathering-sources/confirming notability stages (User:Umimmak/sandbox/MLA).

P.S. I suspect that this book itself doesn't have too much to say about the Modern Language Association, hence just asking for its references, but if you happen to notice that any of these pages actually do go into any detail, I'd be grateful for letting me know which pages I should focus on for an ILL or even better if you could screenshot/download/scan those specific pages as well.

1942 Army Quarterly

This particular chapter appears to discuss why the 1st and 2nd Armoured Reconnaissance Brigades were formed. This context would be useful for the above mentioned article, to briefly outline what the brigades were and why they were created. I have only been able to locate portions of this chapter via Google snippet view, and have not been able to get access more via Google.

Reliable sources for climate/temperature in Ethiopian cities for example the city of Gondar.

I'm looking for reliable climate data for Gondar city article and other Ethiopian cities. i already worked on the article, and saw a outdated German data that applied for the entire province of Gondar, instead of just the city. I replaced it with a source from Climate-data.org >> [1]. Hoewever i want to make sure that it was reliable source i posted it here. >>>> [2] The site turns out to be a collection of data from EMCWF, i searched to no avail, wondering if they even have african/ethiopian climate data.

So my question is whether someone can get or has acces to https://www.ecmwf.int/ climate data, or another reliable source for Ethiopian (cities) climate data? If this is too broad, i narrow it to daily mean temperatures each month, and yearly average in celsius, average rainfall, and Köppen-Geiger climate classification system.

Störm, What is the evidence that this is a reliable source? Cambridge Scholars Publishing is effectively self-publishing as far as editing and fact-checking go, so Eftekhar would need to meet WP:SPS for this to be admissible as a reliable source. (t · c) buidhe 05:29, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps they meet WP:SPS point "Self-published expert sources may be considered reliable when produced by an established subject-matter expert, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable, independent publications." as they were awarded PhD on the subject by the University of York (link:https://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/4552/) and is the best available source in English-language which discusses the subject in detail.

Need reviews for wargame Armageddon: Tactical Combat, 3000-500 BC

To bring Armageddon: Tactical Combat, 3000-500 BC back from this revision, we have several old wargame magazines that I believe have reviews for the game, in case anyone is able to track any of them down:

@BOZ: it would definitely help people if you knew any of the page numbers so people could do ILL requests or scan and deliver requests. Also something like an ISSN ideally or even OCLC number ({{oclc}}) would make it so request fulfillers can easily tell if a local library has the right periodical, especially given how generic some of these titles are.

Bahru Kegne source again. Articles of him in a youtube video, can the original articles be found? If it can't be found, can the youtube video be used as reference?

Hello, to improve several articles including List of musicians using Amharic vocals, and trying to create a article for Bahru Kegne, a notable Azmari, traditionel Ethiopian folk musician, that used to play for Emperor Haile Selassie. There's a mention of him on this site [[10]] in blue with a link to a youtube video [[11]]. The video displays articles about Bahru Kegne, for example 40 seconds in the video, if you pause it, you can read a piece of biography about his life, family & career. What comes after that are other artists talking in tribute of Bahru. The Ex (band) a Dutch band or Terp records probably wrote the articles in the video. I would like to get access to those original articles and use them as a source. Maybe it's archived somewhere? If not, can i use the youtube video as reference?

Hollis Dann Song Series

Hi, from "Hollis Dann Song Series, Part One: songs for primary grades" (1935) Hollis Dann Song Series at the HathiTrust Digital Library/OCLC 594510/OCLC 225576432/OCLC 637737/OCLC 78529515/OCLC 497867310 I need information about the song "Autumn comes" (p. 152-153 ?), especially about its origin. Some secondary sources say "Folk tune from England, 16th century", this needs to be verified. Also a complete scan of the song (or at least an incipit) would be much appreciated.

Some video game reviews and catalogs

  • "Worms". Amiga Action (78). January 1996. ISSN 0957-4050.
  • "Christmas Games Guide". Computer Trade Weekly. No. 565. 1995-11-27. p. 43.
  • "Worms". PC Review (41, 49–51). United Kingdom. 1995. ISSN 0266-321X. — there must be a review of Worms in one the issues, perhaps in 50 to 51. Also there's possibly a preview of this game in the earlier issues around 41 but not in 41 itself. The reason for me believing so is that it was mentioned in The One magazine that PC Review also expressed interest in this game. Unfortunately, most 1995 issues of this magazine are unavailable online.
  • "Worms". PC Games (8). United Kingdom. 1995. ISSN 1351-0290. — there could be a preview of Worms in this one too as it was also mentioned in The One as one of the magazines that participated in testing the early version of the game. It shut down before the game was released, but there still may be a preview, presumably in its March 1995 issue (008).

Hello guys, looking for particular articles from some old game magazines. I'm writing an article about Worms 1995 video game from scratch in the Russian Wikipedia (it is going to replace the existing stub and become featured). I was able to find most of the needed sources online, but some are unavailable, like these. Maybe I will add more articles from other magazines to my request some time later, but for now it's just what you see.

Thank you very much for your efforts. And please ping me if you're able to help and/or comment anything because I barely open English Wikipedia. Please DO NOT archive this until the request is fulfilled. I requested it in Augist 2020, and I'm still in need of those, but it got archived, so I'm reopening this.

@Coolak: Amiga Action issue 78, January 1996 is available at the Internet Archive here. PC Games issue 8, March 1995 is available here, but I don't see any mention of "Worms". The I/A does have other PC Games issues from 1995 here that you may want to check. The I/A also has issues 40, 41, 43, 47, 48 and 50 of PC Review here, but I don't see any mention of "Worms". —Bruce1eetalk 12:47, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You may also want to check out these I/A search results here and here. —Bruce1eetalk 13:28, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Bruce1ee: Thank you very much, it appears that some new magazines were uploaded to I/A since my initial request was made. I edited my request accordingly. Coolak (talk) 12:12, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Bertrand Milbourne Clark: assorted press coverage

  • "B. M. Clark was a Great Champion Sportsman and Gentleman". Sunday Gleaner. 6 April 1958. p. 3. - available behind newspaperarchive.com paywall, here
  • Profile of Clarke in unknown edition of Time magazine
  • Item of unknown title, in Leeds Mercury. 25 June 1924.
  • Any other coverage

For Bertrand Clark; please. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:47, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Andy Mabbett: Yes Sent #1 from NewspaperArchive. The scan isn't that great, but it's readable. —Bruce1eetalk 12:52, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Bruce1ee: Received and cited; thank you. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:22, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Andy Mabbett: There is no "profile" of him in Time. Closer to the mark is what source [12] says, although it misleads with the word "quote". What you have in mind is: "Jim Crow Tennis". Time. Vol. 34, no. 9. August 28, 1939. p. 43. Negroes are not permitted to play major-league baseball, are not tolerated in bigtime tournaments of the U. S. Golf Association or the U. S. Lawn Tennis Association.† [Footnote:] † Only Negro ever known to have competed at Wimbledon is Briton B. M. Clark, member of a Jamaica, B. W. I. tennis club.
@Andy Mabbett: The Leeds Mercury is a photo caption (before you ask, the image I've seen is grainy, with poor contrast, and curved and cut off by the page being tightly bound into a volume, I won't be supplying it). "Styles and Strokes From Wimbledon". The Leeds Mercury. June 25, 1924. p. 16. [Caption:] B. M. Clark, a coloured tennis player from Jamaica, in play during the International Tournament at Wimbledon. --Worldbruce (talk) 05:39, 6 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

1996 Grove Art Encyclopedia, Palace of Versailles

Thus far, I've been using Grove Art Online via the Wikipedia Library, but it doesn't give me page numbers, and the 1996 version used in the article seems to have more information (I can't actually check the veracity of this assumption).

From Palace of Versailles:
