WP:BNA access

Hey DSP13, I created Coventry Herald today, and realized that you had a list of such articles to work on at User:Dsp13/Periodicals through the What Links Here?. Moreover, I noticed that you were pointing to the British Newspaper Archive as a source for building those articles. We recently created a free access partnership with them which you could sign up for at WP:BNA, and you would be a great user to use it (though I can see that you are semi-retired). I hope you sign up for access with all of the contributions you have made to relevant topic areas in the past :) Sadads (talk) 16:14, 8 July 2014 (UTC)

As one of the original 100 JSTOR account recipients, please fill out the very short email form you received just recently in order to renew your access. Even though you signed up before with WMF, we need you to sign up again with The Wikipedia Library for privacy reasons and because your prior access expired on July 15th. We do not have your email addresses now; we just used the Special:EmailUser feature, so if you didn't receive an email just contact me directly at jorlowitz@gmail.com. Thanks, and we're working as quickly as possible to get you your new access! Jake (Ocaasi) 19:48, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
