July 18[edit]

Robert Fisk[edit]

I am looking for the PhD thesis of Robert Fisk. Your page on him says he earned it in 1985 from Trinity College. But I cannot seem to find it online.

Thanks. 197.78.135.153 (talk) 13:51, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

In 1985 he published, as a book, "In Time of War: Ireland, Ulster and the Price of Neutrality, 1939–1945" - while his 1983 thesis was entitled "A condition of limited warfare: Éire's neutrality and the relationship between Dublin, Belfast and London, 1939–1945". I strongly suspect the book is basically his thesis, possibly slightly modified for publication. That book is listed on Amazon - but if you want the actual thesis you may have to go to Trinity College to access it in their library. Wymspen (talk) 14:10, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
While TCD has selected 2000 of its theses for digitization in 2016, Fisk's is not among them (its location is "Berkeley Stacks", not "Offsite digitisation") jnestorius(talk) 17:43, 19 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Berezovka[edit]

I need to verify that Berezovka River is synonymous with Beryozovka River, (a Kolyma tributary, Siberia). Although I am certain that it is, that would constitute WP:OR. Upon verification, please create a redirect. Thanks in advance. --2606:A000:4C0C:E200:F4F7:2137:52D:3045 (talk) 15:05, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
—P.s.: this request is in reference to the Woolly mammoth article. I don't want to add a redlink to a 'featured article'.

Yup, it's the same river. The Russian Beryozovka Mammoth article mentions a "Beryozovka river, a right-bank tributary of the Kolyma." The variant spelling is due to the status of Ё (yo) in Russian Asmrulz (talk) 15:28, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks again. 2606:A000:4C0C:E200:F4F7:2137:52D:3045 (talk) 15:32, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Mark Levin, supply side economics[edit]

What does Mark Levin say about supply side economics?205.124.145.253 (talk) 22:17, 18 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That's a pretty broad question. Try googling "mark levin supply side economics" and you'll find plenty of entries, some of which you might find of interest. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 00:35, 19 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
