 * R.U.R. by Karel Capek (English translation) - 1920 Czech original has been cleared by Gutenberg; 1923-published (though performed onstage in 1922) standard English version by Paul Selver (Czech translator) and Nigel Playfair (theatre manager), with substantial changes in plot, does not appear in a superficial online copyright renewal search, and is published by "Dover Thrift Editions", a public domain book imprint. There could possibly be issues with automatic renewal because Playfair was a British citizen.  Online text-PDF of 1923 English translation.  We apparently once had a page at R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots); I'm not sure what its content was and why exactly it was deleted. User:Prosfilaes has scans of the 1923 US edition.

Cricket: An Heroic Poem
By James Love (James Dance). Dated 1744?, this is the oldest known poem about cricket in English. The text is here but I would really like a scan of the original for layout and verification etc. Published in "Poems on Several Occasions" By James Love. Edinburgh: R. Fleming, 1754. NLA has a page which includes a link to a Gale online resource  but I have no logon credentials. Any suggestions? Moondyne (talk) 08:43, 18 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Found a scan at the British Library: Index:Poems on Several Occasions - Love - 1754.pdf. Inductiveload— talk/contribs  18:37, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Speech by the Right Honourable Sir John Forrest ...
If anyone has full access to http://www.jstor.org/stable/60232574, pdf would be appreciated. My jstor login won't allow this download. Moondyne (talk) 07:56, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I appear to have unrestricted access but all i get is a set of tiny thumbnails, and a "request permissions" link that takes me to the Copyright Clearance Center website. My conclusion is the material is paywalled. Hesperian 03:01, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Same for me, and the conditions are specific to that article, not their more general access. You might be able to email the John Rylands Library and ask for them to email you a copy, I have found the librarians most helpful for such things when one asks nicely. — billinghurst  sDrewth  05:28, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
 * The State Library of Western Australia had a copy: Index:Speech by Sir John Forrest - Western Australia - 1900.pdf. Inductiveload— talk/contribs  22:31, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
