Abstract

Sometimes a critical mass of sources is necessary before an article can be created, or significantly modified. Othertime, sources can be seen as usefull for more than one article. In both - and possible other similar - situations this is the storage for them.

Sources

General

I got entitled to access to several sources through wikipedia library, but one of conditions to actually be allowed access is at least ten edits in last month (probably meaning 30 days). Because I can be away from comp for a month or more, it can happen I would need to do ten edits after returning first, before being allowed access to those sources again.

Another set of problems around that is

• sometimes, when I search for info about somebody through that access, when I finally try to access full text, I get message that I should login through my organization (even if I have done so as far as I know). After several (identical AFIK) tries I often get through to the contents. No clue what is the pattern, yet.
• I sometimes find sources I need, but can't get permalinks (links that are accepted as references in articles).

On mathematics, science and phylosophy

• MacTutor History of Mathematics Archive
• American Physical Society
• Physics Buzz at Physics Central; seem good contents but I see no author names at least at some articles
• Scientific American

Max Talmey Talmud

• Possible better source of place of birth - into wikidata if confirmed url=http%3A%2F%2Fbibliotekoj.org%2Fbpeape.pdf
• ArtemG took from my start and expanded, reorganized, well sourced (where I had problems) and recathegorized the article from stub to C class; I helped and encouraged a bit. Will look in to some sources he proposed and add, what I can. I already had some ideas what could be done, and he'll probably run from there again. I hope outcome shall be another GA - Good article, and possibly several If you know proposals. I think we need a lot of mentors like Talmey and articles like this seem to be growing into, might show people what they can do, too.--Marjan Tomki SI (talk) 21:47, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

Albert Einstein

• Kosher for a while, believer in Spinoza's kind of god
• Albert Einstein site gave me this

In 1888, aged nine, Einstein started at the Luitpold Gymnasium, ... Dr Degenhart, the teacher of Greek who thought Einstein would never amount to.

• That helped me find Einstein for Dummies
  • erenow net site where I looked into it first is WP blacklisted - (by gut feeling) probably because of spam beside contents of interest

Portrait of the Scientist as a Young Man

Seems excellent source of young development (from sister's memories, grand parents letters, Talmud's, father's and uncle's influence, both math and geometry books mentioned...);

• • to see if I can find clean source for same contents ... biographies/einstein-for-dummies/3.php - I found it; see below.
• Einstein: A Biography - Stran 26 - Rezultati Googlovega iskanja knjig Jürgen Neffe · 2007 · ‎Biography & Autobiography - still need to change into formal citation before use

The Luitpold was one of the more progressive educational institutions in ... When his teacher in Munich, Dr. Joseph Degenhart, advised him to leave the ...

• I'll see if I can find something else about a Luitpold Gymnasium, Dr Degenhart, teacher of Greek and get a feeling (or info if available), if it was personal from that teacher, or general style of teaching of that time. Possible this Google search?q=+Dr.+Joseph+Degenhart%2C++Luitpold+Gymnasium+Muenchen
• found there was a mess (really, not only in data) about it - initial founding, then founding of additional part on additional location, and "naming" the set renaming original old Gimnazium and new one new Gimnazim, then sprouting again, and renaming again, and consolidating, and renaming... Added to that, Nazi time, destruction of buildings before end of WW2 (with all documents burned), then rebuild and reorganize. It seems this was Einstein's Luitpold-Gymnasium (München, bis 1918), it seems Dr. Joseph Degenhart was Rektor of it before and through WW1, and it is sure that old Einsteins Gimnazium's successor is now proudly calling itself Gimnazium Albert Einstein Wikiwand seem to use Wikipedia data, so I need to find from where, and the WP cited sources from there.
• A good source on several aspect could be (PDF) Albert Einstein: Rebellious Wunderkind - ResearchGate, but pdf is scanned and not-OCR-ed, so not searchable easily
• and Manjit Kumar's book, which pdf now I can peruse Here I also found Bohr and Heisenberg both enjojed sailing, but not about Einstein too .

• On sailing several links found by google: search?q=albert+einstein+sailing+sailboat

This is the English language version of an earlier, Spanish, edition. It is a quality publication, produced with the support of the Embraer aerospace company. Comes with its own slipcase. Large format, 170 pages, numerous large black and white photographs, many of them full-page. Quite a few of the photographs are "new" and haven't been published before. (Embraer had also funded a project to restore damaged Santos-Dumont photographs and negatives.) The tome is not cheap, but it's well worth hunting out.

Systems view

Szilard, Kármán, Gabor...

1. Google books: Albert Kornfeld Leó Szilard
   The Martians of Science: Five Physicists Who Changed the Twentieth Century, by Istvan Hagitai; Theodore von Karman, Leo Szilard, Eugene Wigner, John von Neumann, and Edward Teller; p 25-26 on Kármán (and some controversies about him)
   Book shows Szilard on p.20 as eminent fluid dynamicist, and using FD discovered patterns interdisciplinary with society and history (practically, not in theory only, see page.). That's why he is seen as one of eminent founders of general systems and systematicaly interdisciplinary method and aproach to problems (with Alan Turing, Ludwig von Bertalanffy, Janos (John von) Neumann, Norbert Weiner, and shall remember next two).
   Gabor - using Szilard's idea (pattent application for it submitted, but not realized by Szilard) - is seen as inventor of Holography (Nobel prize in physics in 1971).
   This source - The Martians... - is also good for history on male/female inequality and processes of it's diminishment (Szilard was pushing for the Bund, which was - in contrast to hitlerjugend etc. - international and where boys and girls were accepted without sex discrimination - in mid 1920-ies. That later developed into his effort to organize (responsible - my addition) intelectual elite for national and international leadership.
   Einstein about probabilities at statistical mechanics (reportedly told by Wigner and read on p. 53 of Five Maritians): Wigener remembered Einstein mussing obout time being infinite, compared to which our finite lifespan was negligible. "The probability that I am alive today is zero. In spite of this, I am now alive."
   I must also see about group theory (and relations to set theory...), and relations of group, set, and cathegory theory in mathematics.

I intended to find Norbert Weiner, but it was a lucky typo, because there was an interesting list of hits (Gerald Weinberg wrote on that too).

I got Martians of Science after looking for Albert Kornfeld Leó Szilard in Google books - to be researched more.

Misuse of authority

Abuse of minors and others entrusted in care

• The Guardian (used to be seen as trusted source) wrote "Vatican said"; someone reviewing article Catholic Church sexual abuse cases#cite_ref-guardian_17-1 had set template that required (who?|date=May 2019) and (failed verifiation|date=August 2012) a bit further. I checked the source and it said what was summarised in WP article where failed verification template had been set. I hadn't yet found out who set it - to start a discussion if (s)he had something else in mind (from what I saw, but from my point of view both templates seem unwaranted or obsolete.

{{Who}} (who?)

Statement in the article says "Members of church hierarchy said", WP trusted reference says "Vatican said", "The Holy See said" and "The statement, read out by Archbishop Silvano Tomasi, the Vatican's permanent observer to the UN, defended its record by claiming that "available research" showed that only 1.5%-5% of Catholic clergy were involved in child sex abuse." It's problematic to name Silvano Tomasi as the author of the statement(s) he read, without knowing original context, and finding out about that context would be OR and probably not admissible. So "members of hierarchy" aggrees with what I cited above, and naming Tomasi as (who?) would IMO be overstating the policy.

{{failed verification}} failed verification

As far as I see source agrees with what article sumarises. I tried to see who added those templates to ask for comment, but didn't succeed to identify him or her yet.

Conclusion

It seems that part of the article says what source says (faild verification template not justified). (who?) is also not justified - because I am not sure one can say Archbishop Tomasi expressed his oppinion from what I read at (trusted WP) source, without listening to recording of the proceedings in question. But doing tht would probably be OR anyway, and so against WP policy. See

Errors found in reliable sources

The article How popes choose their names and why it matters, in which the reporter relies on William Portier, chair of Catholic theology at the University of Dayton, fails verification of several data.

If the new pope were to choose the name Pius, for example, it would indicate deference to Pope Pius XI, who refused to cede the Papal states to Napoleon and as a result was put in prison where he later died. He became known as a pope who fought for the papacy's independence from secular states, clinging to church tradition, Portier said.

I knew pope Pius XI died in XX century and couldn't be the one referenced above to die in prison under Napoleon after French revolution, and when I checked in Britannica, I saw Popes Pius VI and VII had problems with Napoleon that the writer was writing about. I am not sure if the reporter misquoted his source, or the chair of Catholic theology at a top-tier Catholic research) University of Dayton misspoke, or didn't really know in earnest.
