Aschmidt added a comment to T327653: Access issues for Ancestry.

Thanks for insisting on this issue, @Coining . Over the Search entry in the top menu I could indeed find and retrieve documents on relatives of mine.

Aschmidt added a comment to T327653: Access issues for Ancestry.

It seems my report was not clear enough. I am sorry about that. In fact, I used the grandparents search, and one of my grandfathers indeed was shown as a search result, but then there were no more data. When I clicked on my grandfather's entry, the said error message was shown. And this did not change when simply reloading pages. I then tried to reload all pages in Ancestry I came across, to no avail. I cannot say whether this is a problem in Ancestry or in Wikipedia LIbrary. This is why I reported my problem and why I asked for further investigation. I hope this makes it more clear so that you can have a further look into the issue that still is indicated on the Wikipedia Library overview of databases. Thanks, again.

I'm afraid I cannot confirm that refreshing the results page solves the problem. When proceeding from one of my grandparents I get the message: "We were unable to find your grandparent in our records. Try a different grandparent."

I also would like to ask whether you please could look into the trouble with Ancestry again. Perhaps we could get some help from Ancestry themselves to sort this out? I've just tried to search for my relatives in Ancestry, but search yielded no result, forwarding me to a login page in the end. It looks like our access has just expired. This should be checked first, before we look into any other technical issues.

Aschmidt added a comment to T252641: ProQuest databases.

I'm afraid we have lost access to most ProQuest databases without prior notice. This is why I think this is a mistake, probably due to a misconfiguration? Last night, at the resource exchange on German Wikipedia we realised that we can only search ERIC and the Supplemental Educational Index. We cannot access any other databases, that means, we also cannot access newspaper archives as we used to, neither over the web interface nor through my local bookmarks which worked quite well for a long time. I would very much appreciate if you please could look into this. Thanks in advance.

Open Edition offers e-books to read online and to download as PDF or EPUB. But there are some books you cannot access in either way, so if you want to read those you will have to buy them. It makes no difference whether you access those books via our proxy or directly over the website. E.g., https://books.openedition.org/septentrion/12250 cannot be accessed either via https://books-openedition-org.wikipedialibrary.idm.oclc.org/septentrion/12250 I think our access has actually ended. So I would be grateful if you please could ask for a renewal, @Samwalton9-WMF . Thank you very much in advance.

I'm afraid I do not understand what you mean. The TWL landing page links to https://wikipedialibrary.idm.oclc.org/login?auth=production&url=https://www.degruyterbrill.com/ which looks perfectly allright, doesn't it? As the old website for Brill remains online, there is no need to change anything here. I think, the only thing that would need an update is the header for the DeGruyter partner there because this now links to degruyterbrill.com with a new name an a new logo.

This is due to the merger between DeGruyter and Brill. The two websites were migrated to a new domain https://www.degruyterbrill.com/ and the new site does not realise a request comes from the TWL proxy.

From a librarian's POV, a search should yield no result rather than a set or rather a cloud of vague results. That's what I mean. But YMMV, of course.

But … if you remove the part with the brackets from the search string the search will not match because the part with the brackets serves as a disambiguator between encyclopeadic lemmata. So, please do not do this.

Aschmidt added a comment to T361846: TWL access to Mohr Siebeck is not working anymore.

I'm afraid the relaunch of Mohr Siebeck's website has lead to a major problem. Clicking on the button to read a resource as PDF, you are now redirected to viewer.content-select.com. That is to say, you are forced to access Mohr Siebeck's own viewer over a domain that we cannot access over our proxy. This seems to be hard coded on the publisher's side. Hence, the user's own IP address gets checked which, of course, is not eligible for access to the site.

I've been using Zotero for managing my personal library extensively over the years. It always used to be superior to the solution we had in Citoid. So I would second using Zotero's ISBN endpoint in Citoid. The Internet Archive cannot be better than that because the national libraries' catalogues are the reference for metadata of any book in print. I'm looking forward to the improvements you are about to implement!

Aschmidt added a comment to T323370: Access to Springer Link seems to be broken.

So, I have closed Firefox, renamed my profile, and restarted Firefox again. Logged into Wikipedia and the TWL. Result: SpringerLink worked fine, and so did DeGruyter.

BTW, there is another strange issue with FF 107.0 in MacOS 12 that could be connected to this one:

I'm sorry I did not try another browser before. When I answered your last post about an hour ago I was so much focused on enumerating and re-enabling my add-ons I just forgot about that.

Thanks for checking. No change here, i'm afraid. Same error message as yesterday. The problem only persists with Springer Link.

I'm afraid I have to correct my former post, as I've just realised that WikidataInfo now appears right below pagetitle. So it seems to work for me. Thx.

Pls cf. also these discussions on German Wikipedia https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Fragen_zur_Wikipedia#Vector_2022_kaputt and on Wikidata for another broken script: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/User_talk:Yair_rand/WikidataInfo.js#Vector_2022:_Info_not_shown – help would be much appreciated.

Thanks. But you might remember the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and the part about the planning charts that had been on display somewhere around Alpha Centauri for some fifty earth years without anyone ever realising it? ;)

Aschmidt added a comment to T284921: Remove "auto-number headings" preference.

I strongly agree with my fellow users from German Wikipedia. We are very much used to this feature which is rather useful for reading and writing long articles. Also I have no issues as to website performance etc. Please keep this feature.

I can confirm that the broken main page on dewiki is due to an error in discussion tools. :(

Aschmidt added a comment to T97936: Allow user to switch cite template in limited circumstances.

+1. It would make it so much easier to edit Wikipedia, and it would also give back power to the editors who are not content with what the machines do automatically.

Aschmidt reopened T190841: Allow for conditional field mapping in Citoid as "Open".

I am sorry to say that the issue has come up again on Geman Wikipedia, so I have reopened the task for re-evaluation. @Cirdan has made a good point in describing the issue and the solution for dewiki above. In the meanwhile @Crazy1880 pointed out to an entry in OCLC that of course does contain the OCLC number, but not an ISBN. In German-speaking countries we rarely refer to OCLC ids. Also, we rarely use WorldCat, we prefer the catalogues maintained by our national libraries that issue ISBN and ISSN for German-language publications. So, I subscribe to Cirdan's description and I would be grateful if you please could change configuration accordingly.

Just to make sure: This worked before, and it only happens in JSTOR, no other resource is affected. I did not change anything about the local configuration.
