The following books were written by academics of the peoples themselves.

The introduction is for Khamti people as a possible source, tale 16 for "The Story of the Hamadryad" (girl marries python).

The alternate for tale 29 indicates it is a Khamti variant of Sang Thong (aka. "The Prince in a Golden Conch [Shell]"), because "Hǒi-sang" was the name used by J. Leyden and Captain James Low to indicate the existence of the tale in the early 19th century.

---

The Story of a Fairy and a Prince is homonymous with a tale first collected from a Shan source and published by Mrs. Leslie Milne in 1910. Milne's tale is a Shan variant of ATU 408 and the Indian "The Belbati Princess". Would like to see if it another variant or a reedition of Milne's text. In the latter's case, will add it as a reprint and later to separate the Shan tales.

"White Shell-fish" has a parallel title to a Shan tale published by B. R. Pearne in Journal of the Burma Research Society with the title "The Silver Oyster", which has been pointed as a Shan variant of Sang Thong. Possibly another variant of the Shan tale.

"The Youth of Emerald Mollusc" has a similar title with the Khamti "The Young Man from the Emerald Mollusc (Sao Hoi Seng)".

@KHR FolkMyth: Sent the second request. – Doc Taxon • Talk • 13:45, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Got it. Thank you. Yes. One was a reedition, the other was a version of the tale of "Sang Thong"/Silver Oyster in a Shan tale. KHR FolkMyth (talk) 15:23, 23 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@KHR FolkMyth: I'm having a hard time finding information about the first book. It is not the same publisher, but are you potentially referencing this? If not, could you supply a link to an index like Google Books or WorldCat? Thanks. Averageuntitleduser (talk) 14:07, 6 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I found a link to the National Library of Myanmar, indivating that the book exists somewhere. KHR FolkMyth (talk) 15:28, 6 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

KHR FolkMyth, available copies of the books seem to be few and far between. There is the one that you found in the National Library of Myanmar, and the Department of Ethnical Literature & Culture-Kachin State also appears to have a copy, given the Facebook post here. Two bookshops also appear to have it: one here, for $3.5, and one here (although that post is from 2020). The first of those also includes a link to the book's table of contents, acknowledgements, introduction, and foreword. Note that the author died some months after publication, so reaching out to him is not an option. The reality is that the book is going to be difficult to borrow from a library. The best option would likely be to reach out to some of the parties above, and see if they would be willing to provide a scan of a few pages. (The bookshops may be less likely to do that, but while it's less than ideal to have to pay for sources used on Wikipedia, the cost before shipping does appear to be nominal—maybe they'd provide a scan so you wouldn't have to also pay for shipping?) --Usernameunique (talk) 18:27, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the feedback. I don't know. Is it an alternative? KHR FolkMyth (talk) 20:30, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, KHR FolkMyth. Is what an alternative? --Usernameunique (talk) 20:38, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

To get in touch with the author/publisher. KHR FolkMyth (talk) 20:47, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Getting in touch with an author or publisher is frequently a good way to get a copy of an article, especially when it's a niche piece; mentioning that it's for Wikipedia is also sometimes helpful, because it (a) shows it's for research (a reason for which authors, themselves researchers, frequently can relate), and (b) implies that the article might become more widely cited. Particularly here, when you're looking for a book that we can't find a trace of outside of Myanmar, I would try every available avenue. --Usernameunique (talk) 03:03, 2 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

KHR FolkMyth, WP:Resource support pilot might also be an option. --Usernameunique (talk) 07:47, 7 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

KHR FolkMyth, have you thought about the above idea? The program is looking for more requests. --Usernameunique (talk) 23:32, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I did think about it, but it is a new venue for me, so I'm not too sure how to make this new request via the "Resource support pilot". How can I proceed? KHR FolkMyth (talk) 23:48, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't made a request there either yet, but this seems well in scope: a painfully obscure work that will be difficult to obtain without purchasing, and that has therefore been languishing on this page for seven months. You can enter your username at the top of the page here, then fill out the form. You'll need to link to this discussion (which explains the difficulty of obtaining the book), give the articles you plan to use the book for, and provide the link of Myanmar Bookshop (above), from which the book can be bought. Let me know how it goes! --Usernameunique (talk) 23:55, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

KHR FolkMyth, have you decided whether to go with the above approach? I think that is your best bet. --Usernameunique (talk) 02:17, 28 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well, who will provide the funds for purchasing the book? I've been mulling over the question before giving a more definitive answer, since I'm trying to expand the scope of Asian and African topics. KHR FolkMyth (talk) 14:24, 19 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Ezra5555: Between 13 to 40 and 110 to 155, which one do you need more? My library responded (cc: Usernameunique) and they said they can request one chapter or page range. ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 20:30, 2 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi i need both. For article i musst have this all pages from 13 to 40 and 110 to 155. It is very important.I know that is difficult but i need that. Sorry. Ezra5555 (talk) 16:59, 3 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Ezra5555: I'm sorry, but it is up to the holding library how much they are willing to scan. I've asked them for both ranges, but told them if they're not able to do both, then 13-40 would be fine. ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 03:36, 7 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Steelkamp I scanned the whole 2 Feb 1988 issue; I didn't see this article. Are you sure these deets are correct? MmeMaigret (talk) 04:41, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Mmemaigret: That was being used as a reference on Northern Suburbs Transit System before that article was merged with Yanchep line. Its possible that this article only appeared in the Western Australian edition of the newspaper. Otherwise, something is wrong in the original citation. Steelkamp (talk) 04:52, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Steelkamp, that reference was added by Thewinchester in this 2007 edit, with the note "Accessed at State Records Office of Western Australia, Perth". That's an old edit, to be sure, and Thewinchester hasn't been active since September 2024, but pinging here in case Thewinchester has any recollection of it or is able to help. --Usernameunique (talk) 20:42, 2 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Any further context to this?

What I can say is, based on the reference and the original commit date, that citation is from a newspaper article that was within Government Archives, found when I was doing in-person research from files requested from their offsite archive.

Sadly, my original cite at the time does not have the file number, box or other information which would allow me to quickly identify where in the files it was.

I can say with certainty, that the content I quoted from the article in the commit is a direct and accurate quote of the article observed.

My best and easiest approach would be to go microfiche hunting at SLWA for this edition if it's on file. Thewinchester ^(talk) 19:01, 27 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Katzrockso, what articles are you looking for besides that one? Trying to decide whether I should try to ILL the whole thing, or just isolated articles. Harvard appears to have a copy of the issue in question, and is usually good about ILL requests. --Usernameunique (talk) 00:54, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Usernameunique I was looking for most of the first half of the issue, the special feature "Feminism and Trans Exclusion"; I am not sure of the contents but many could be relevant to the aforementioned section of the article - there is not as large a volume of published literature on trans-exclusionary feminism in Japan as in other countries. But if the entire issue is too much, the articles that interested me the most were トランスジェンダー学生の受け入れと女子大学のミッション――日米の事例を中心に [Accepting Transgender Students and the Mission of Women's Colleges: Focusing on Cases in Japan and the United States] 髙橋裕子 and 日本のフェミニズムが問われるもの――トランスフォビアの克服とトランス女性との連帯 [Japanese Feminism Called into Question: Overcoming Transphobia and Solidarity with Trans Women] 三橋順子

To break off the non-pomegranate tales from "The Pomegranate Fairy" to another article.

For Le Touquet, specifically Talk:Le Touquet/GA2.

The book is organised by French department numbers. I'm not sure if it's volume 9 but it should presumably be under chapter 62, which is definitely called Pas-de-Calais. The question is whether the references that are in the Rail section support the current wording of the text. Very likely that the book is offline and only available in France.

For Stephen Jay Gould. Looking for a better scan of the image of him on the back flap (see [7]). Due to failures to comply with copyright formalities, the dust jacket's contents fell into the public domain. If you do have a book with the dust jacket (or have a better copy of the image), please upload it to Wikimedia Commons, as the scans I was able to find are pretty crumby (I hope this is a reasonable place to ask for this).

Hey folks, this is a tough one. I'm working on a sandbox article for the Huntington Hartford Foundation. There's an important source from the Foundation that was published in 1956. It is more commonly known as First Fruits, and is held by major libraries under that name, but two of them have it under Six Years of Accomplishments so I included that alternate OCLC just in case. UCLA, Harvard, and NYPL all have copies. Thanks for any help. If you have access to the work, let me know as I have a few questions, mostly having to do with the history of the property and the names of all of the fellows, as they are very hard to find. There were supposedly 400 famous artists hosted by the Foundation, but the sources are almost non-existent. One of the reasons this is important to me is because while Huntington Hartford was a very flawed man and had some very strange, eccentric ideas, and caused a lot of problems in the art world at the time, there are recent sources that attribute some measure of historical interest to his indirect promotion of the concept of contemporary art over the term "modern" (he wasn't the first, but he helped contribute to this debate), and the idea that his art colony, for all its wasted money, produced some measure of success, results which have been lost to time and are left to others to discover. This is also a very California-oriented topic unique to that state's history, and there's a dearth of coverage about it. For comparison, we have Druid Heights in NoCal, Moy Mell in SLO, and Rustic Canyon, this topic, which has not been covered on Wikipedia in any depth. Thanks.

I'm currently working on Paul Xiniwe, and one of the references on the page cites this journal. I'm hoping that the full article will have more information on Xiniwe and his life that I can use in the article.

There's a couple journals named "The Coelacanth", but from context I'm assuming it's this one from Rhodes University in South Africa. Their online archives only have 3 issues, none of which are the one with Webb's article.

Does anyone know where I can find this article? I've tried looking in TWL, but it doesn't seem to have this particular journal (unless I'm missing something, as searching for "The Coelacanth" mostly brings up articles about the fish).

Thanks in advance. Tymewalk (talk) 02:34, 29 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

These two for King Lindworm and The Girl with Two Husbands. "O re serpente" is a Griko tale, which, per Renato Aprile's summary in his Index, has the same double narrative of the Greek tales: heroine marries snake prince and disenchants him, revives dead man and marries him, chooses between first and second husbands.

For King Crin, Italian tale with the enchanted husband in pig form; geographically, it is located in Italy; ethnographically, it is a tale told by the Griko people of South Italy.

For The Golden Root. "Tuone e Lampe" is the name of the heroine's husband, meaning Thunder and Lightning.

For Prunella (fairy tale). In Italian variants, per Renato Aprile's Index, the heroine's name, Petrosinella, can indicate it to be a variant of Rapunzel/Basile's Petrosinella (ATU 310) or AaTh 428, "The Wolf".

EDIT: Added a sixth tale.
