As long as the query is relevant to the Wiiproject I don't see a problem in
asking more than one Wikiproject.
Another method I use for non-obvious things is to put a note at the top of
my guestbook -
reminds me, I need to refresh that list as there is currently only
one task available.

Most articles belong to a Wikiproject (or can be
given to one with a
little
tagging), and if a wikiproject is even semiactive
it will have people

specialist knowledge. So I'd suggest if you
need help on an article,
post a
query on the relevant WikiProject page. And if
there isn't a Wikiproject
tag already on the talkpage feel free to add one that seems relevant.
In the case of Georg Andreas Böckler I asked the article creator (only
two edits here in 2011 and none in 2012, probably more active on the
Dutch Wikipedia, where I may try and contact them). I could also ask
on the German Wikipedia. I have (only recently) asked on the
WikiProject Biography page, but am a bit stuck as to what other
WikiProjects to ask at (History of Science? Architecture?).
Alternatively put a query on the talkpages of
people who've edited the
article or relevant related ones.
Hadn't thought of the 'relevant related ones' approach.
SoFixIt doesn't always work, sometimes it
helps to seek out experts, but
in
my experience such people appreciate a query that
is relevant to their
expertise. That's why IMHO the content noticeboard and similar
overcentralised mechanisms won't work.
Patience also helps, not every expert will be here every month.
Good point. Patience *is* a virtue. :-)
