[edit]- For further featured material (articles/lists) and no, I have no access to JSTOR material. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:53, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
- For featured and good articles as well as filling out current coverage. I only have access to JSTOR material through an hour or so drive to a university. At the price of gas now, that's $40 or so a trip. Ealdgyth - Talk 17:56, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
- For work primarily on Mesoamerican articles, both GAs and FAs and adding new content generally. I have no JSTOR access and it is a constant frustration. Simon Burchell (talk) 18:02, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
- I don't have JSTOR access. I would use it for reviewing and writing if I had it. - Dank (push to talk) 18:39, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
- I see that JSTOR may start contacting people about access. I'm still interested. - Dank (push to talk) 17:32, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
- Still interested. - Dank (push to talk) 01:13, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
- I see that JSTOR may start contacting people about access. I'm still interested. - Dank (push to talk) 17:32, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
- I do not have access to the JSTOR site. But the extracts I've found have been extremely useful to my articles and I've lost count of how many times I've wished I could access it fully as a resource. I'd love for it to be available to all wikipedia editors and believe it would be invaluable for anybody who requests it in article writing. I would use it for a whole diversity of articles. Today I wished to read the entire article it had on Salomon Schweigger which if I had been able to access it no doubt the article would be more comprehensive.♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:17, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
- Yes please. I was doing an article just now where a paper in JSTOR clearly had an article full of relevant information. I often get that. Frustrating. Wish I could see the papers. I start a lot of articles (over 2,000 so far) often on academic topics and have no library access. Aymatth2 (talk) 19:32, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
- I would love to have JSTOR to help me write Good and Featured articles. I have often bumped up against the lack of access. Binksternet (talk) 20:35, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
- My featured articles often require me to beg and borrow JSTOR access from all and sundry (my college doesn't remember me so it's daughter's university, friendly fellow-editors etc). I'd give a lot for my own direct access, especially to music journals. Brianboulton (talk) 20:38, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
- I don't have access to JSTOR; my article writing has fallen off as of late - access to JSTOR as a resource will help...Modernist (talk) 20:56, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
- Editor since 2007. Write FA and GA quality articles with a technical leaning. JSTOR is good for papers on the history of technology, and I have frequently found the need for JSTOR retrievals, but have no access except through others. If I had access myself it would speed the process up no end and would encourage the retrieval of not-so-obvious sources. If I am given an account, I undertake to make myself available at WP:LIBRARY for the benefit of others. SpinningSpark 21:08, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
- I have no direct access to JSTOR and am frequently frustrated when google throws up juicy-looking first pages of articles on my major interests, opera and architecture, e.g. this one, discovered today, on a leading music critic with a rather short WP article. --GuillaumeTell 21:15, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
- I have no access to JSTOR and have to go through Wikipedia's resource exchange when I need an article, and although people are always extremely helpful there, it's only fair to use the service judiciously. It would be wonderful to have full access, particularly in the areas of history and politics. I've been editing for over seven years, and focus mainly on writing content (creating and improving), including 10 featured articles. SlimVirgin (talk) 22:45, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
- Check out my userpage, particularly "significant contributions" and the dozens of FAs and GAs. I could make very good use of JSTOR access. Parrot of Doom 19:10, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
- Long time editor and admin; especially interested in JSTOR access for astronomy, technology and general sciences. Loved having it when I was at university in years past. — Huntster (t @ c) 22:58, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
- I work with a lot of WP:FRINGE articles and many of these topics are difficult to source. A lot of the time we have to use substandard WP:PARITY sources to counter fringe claims and it's possible that higher quality sources would exist in JSTOR. I am not sure if my campus offers access. SÆdontalk 23:56, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
- I write about ancient Egyptian religion (one FA and one GA so far, with plans for many more), and the handful of archaeological journals on JSTOR were a major help to my work. I should not be a high priority—I collected hundreds of articles in 2010 and early 2011, when I had access—but what I'm working on will take a long time, and JSTOR access sometime down the road would help me keep up with developments in Egyptology. A. Parrot (talk) 03:07, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
- I had access to JSTOR through my University, but I haven't been a student in almost a year because of illness concerns, so I longer have access. JSTOR can be extremely useful for some of the historical journals they have of harder to get biographies. If I go back to studies, I will disactivate the JSTOR account so another editor can use it. Secret account 23:01, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
- Editor since 2007, sysop since 2009, >400 DYK articles, created >2,000 articles. I'm also a Teahouse host and we're collaborating with new editors on their AfCs. I've been an Online Ambassador, but not this semester, because of my Teahouse commitment. I don't have access to JSTOR and it would be extremely helpful in so far as the articles I work on would be more comprehensive. Thank you. --Rosiestep (talk) 02:33, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
- Over 7 years on the English Wikipedia with over 40,000 edits; I do not have access to JSTOR, and would use it to find reliable sources for music and literature related articles. —Bruce1eetalk 05:11, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
- editor since 2003, 30+ FAs, lack of journal access a continual problem, makes FAC so much harder Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:45, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
- Editor since 2006 (47,000 edits) Access needed for my work on arts related and women's history articles [1]. It's very frustrating that Jstor doesn't allow individual subscription at the moment and I have no institutional access. Voceditenore (talk) 08:35, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
- Editor since 2005 with over 60,000 edits; I have no access to JSTOR and would like to use one for history and politics articles. –HTD 19:25, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
- Since joining, I have spent a small fortune on books and for access to papers for Virus-related and other articles. The quality of my contributions would be enhanced if I had access. Graham Colm (talk) 17:19, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
- Editor since 2006, 40,000 edits in en:WP, 5,000 in de:WP, 2 FAs, 3 GAs in en:WP. Have come up against that paywall many times when researching articles.--JN466 00:57, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
- I borrow Jstor access (which I keep to a minimum) but prefer not to. I have no access myself through a university or local library. It's almost a necessity for literature related pages. Victoria (tk) 01:51, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
- Editor since 2005, 19K edits in English Wikipedia and 8K edits in Commons. I have no access to JSTOR, and it would be very valuable for work on 16th-19th century artists, textiles, fashion, tapestry, and biographies of Tudor and Elizabethan people. - PKM (talk) 02:38, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
- I have no access to JSTOR or any similar resource. Having it would expand my research horizons for natural disaster, meteorology, coastal sciences, and geography related topics, which are my main fields of interest on Wikipedia and in real life. I've been editing for four or five years and have contributed to (written, mostly) at least 40 pieces of featured content (not including pictures etc.) and around 100 GAs. Juliancolton (talk) 03:23, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
- Editor since 2007, 12,000+ edits including 1FA, 2GA, many references added to existing articles, primarily (but not exclusively) on bird-related topics. Other than abstracts, I have no access to JSTOR's articles — which would be very useful!. MeegsC | Talk 03:55, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
- I do not have currently JSTOR access and would greatly appreciate the access to sources to include in the articles I work on. I've created over 90 articles here so far, including 1 GA and 36 DYKs. I have many more on my to-do list to write, and access to additional sources would be of great help. 28bytes (talk) 05:34, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
- I do not have JSTOR access. I have about 45k edits, mainly in article creation and expansion in the field of biology, history and biography. Maias (talk) 06:34, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
- Please please please JSTOR access! I've been a Wikipedia editor since 2005, have written or expanded about 500 Wikipedia articles, especially in the area of medieval history, and am constantly running into the JSTOR roadblock. Whenever I'm talking to a friend in academia, I almost immediately start groveling for JSTOR help. Which is especially ironic because I may be writing about the topic more than they are! I was recently at an academic conference full of PhDs, and I held my own in my topic area, even though I was only "Independent Scholar" on my nametag, and not associated with a university. I run into the "JSTOR only" roadblock several times a week, and am really tired of having to beg friends to logon for me. So yes, if there's a way I could get JSTOR access, sign me up! --Elonka 20:42, 8 April 2012 (UTC)
- This would be huge for me. In the last eight years, but mainly from 2004 to 2007, I've written several hundred articles on music before 1600, and at least half of the good material for improving them further is only available through JSTOR. I have about 100,000 edits, eight years total on the project, and over 600 articles more or less from scratch, and I've been an admin since 2005. It's very frustrating being an "Independent Scholar"; if JSTOR allowed individual subscriptions I would have bought one years ago. Antandrus (talk) 21:13, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
- I'd definitely find it very useful in editing articles about mediæval European history and European imperialism. The preponderence of paywalled articles in these areas is very frustrating. — Preceding unsigned comment added by OwenBlacker (talk • contribs)
- No current access and would find it very useful, especially for articles related to Scottish history, archaeology, natural history and geology. It's especially frustrating not to be able to expand material in short articles/sections where the existing citation is paywalled and detailed material from elsewhere is hard/impossible to find. Ben MacDui 07:07, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
- Account since 2004, active since 2006, ~20k edits. Active in content development, particularly around WikiProject Ireland and in British/Irish areas in general. Verification and understanding of particularly complex and nuanced POV issues is a essential in the main area of my contributions. Access to a library of high-quality (and broad ranging) references such as JSTOR would be an enormous contribution to this area. I would be willing to act on behalf of others (i.e. respond to requests) in sourcing and verifying, if granted access. I don't have current access to JSTOR. --RA (talk) 11:37, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
- I have access to jstor but only by communiting more than an hour to the closest university. JSTOR access is essential for the history articles I usually contribute and a basic source of specialized references. I use it extensively but getting hold of the necessary articles is a nuisance. Some sort of VPN access to a "trusted site" or accounts would definitely help me spped up the process of collecting references.Rowanwindwhistler (talk) 21:35, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
- I have partial access to JSTOR (science) but that does not include the Irish Studies which would help me in the area of Irish history. I am mainly active at de-wp where I have written c. 100 articles including several with GA status (22.000+ edits in all projects since 2005). Currently, I am ordering these journal articles through interlibrary loans which in case of more obscure Irish journals can take over a month to be delivered. --AFBorchert (talk) 21:47, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
- I do not have access to JSTOR. I have created 67 articles on ancient Mesopotamian subjects (an area greatly neglected on Wikipedia) and expanded from stub status approximately the same number again, but all these articles could be significantly improved with information gleaned from this source. If access is limited, I could provide a wishlist of specific articles for someone else to obtain and forward.BigEars42 (talk) 09:57, 9 April 2012 (UTC) I would like to point out that I am now up to 89 articles, about the same number of stubs expanded and 1038 edits. I have been editing since May 1, 2011 (15 months), so I definitely deserve a place. BigEars42 (talk) 23:14, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
- BigEars42, I'm not seeing much activity recently. Are you still looking for access/planning a return? The Interior (Talk) 15:15, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
- The Interior, Yes. I took a spell off but am intending to add more when I complete my research. I try not to add stub articles, so the research tends to take a long time.BigEars42 (talk) 15:46, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
- BigEars42, glad to hear it. You're approved. The Interior (Talk) 15:53, 14 July 2014 (UTC)
- The Interior, Yes. I took a spell off but am intending to add more when I complete my research. I try not to add stub articles, so the research tends to take a long time.BigEars42 (talk) 15:46, 14 July 2014 (UTC)

- I've been editing since 2006, have about 140,000 edits, and my focus is on editing medical articles, which typically requires access to full text of journal articles. Along with resigning as FAC delegate so I could focus more on medical articles, I also have recently relocated and have no access to a medical library or to any journal databases. I have also recently begun new page patrolling of medical articles, and while I often encounter what looks like copyvio, I'm unable to doublecheck journal articles. I'd appreciate being considered for this access. Thanks! SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:14, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
- I don't have JSTOR access. If I had it I would use it for reviewing and writing new articles. I've contributed mostly to German Wikipedia since 2005 (some 14,000 edits to this day).--Aschmidt (talk) 21:48, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
- I don't have JSTOR access but I'm really interested in it. I'm an user and administrator of the German Wikipedia. I would use the access for reviewing and writing articles. I've contributed 42,000 edits and 557 articles since 2006. My interests are mainly in pop culture, criminal history and some historical themes. --Gripweed (talk) 22:20, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
- I have not had access to JSTOR since leaving University in 2008, and would find access to it invaluable for checking references in existing Wikipedia articles. I'm an admin in the English Wikipedia with 90,000 edits. I contribute articles mostly on New Zealand topics but I fact check on a wide range of articles.-gadfium 04:08, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
- I don't have JSTOR access. Editor in de-wp since 2007, 2 FAs, some 70 new articles with a focus on language and social history. Also editing on help and request pages. --Aalfons (talk) 08:22, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
- I don't have JSTOR access. Editor since 2004, mainly on history and biography of technology articles. Over 1500 edits. Apwoolrich (talk) 09:19, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
- Editing since 2004, 100K+ edits. Focus on science articles, especially geology and geography. No access to JSTOR - retired and live out in the boonies. Vsmith (talk) 17:07, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
- Editor since 2003, 240,000 edits and 8,000 article creations. I mostly work on history, and the main issue in my work is how to improve old encyclopedia material. JSTOR access would be ideal for that: hits on JSTOR pages come up all the time as I do searches. I have very good library access (University Library in Cambridge) but it does not come with JSTOR because I don't have the necessary email address. Charles Matthews (talk) 15:33, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
- I work on visual arts articles, and in my research I frequently encounter JSTOR links for art journals and other information. I have no access, and it would be extremely useful to have it. I've been editing for 7 years, and have made over 200,000 edits. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 06:56, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
- Wow, I would be very happy to get access to Jstor. I am working on Lepidoptera species and bump into good sources behind the Jstor paywall on a daily basis. I am active on English wikipedia since April 2006 and have 122,300 edits. I have no access to Jstor myself. Ruigeroeland (talk) 12:34, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
- I have no JSTOR access but would be interested in for my de.WP article work.--Ziko (talk) 13:30, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
- —DerHexer (Talk) 14:04, 19 April 2012 (UTC) Editor since 2005; sysop on German and English Wikipedia, steward, oversight, and sysop on Meta Wiki; 250'000 edits; 900'000 sysop actions; one featured and one good article (dozens written with main topic antiquity), three featured pictures (thousands uploaded); after having finished my Master thesis in summer 2012 I will not anylonger have access to journal archives.
- I have no access to JSTOR, and would find it very useful when working on the subjects related to Russia.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); April 19, 2012; 15:11 (UTC)
- I generally contribute to historical articles, predominantly, but not restricted to the Arab-Israeli conflict. I do not have access to JSTOR or any other scholarly journals (other than requests via WP:RX), so this would be a big help and would greatly improve my editing contributions. Dlv999 (talk) 10:39, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
- I contribute to middle east history articles and like to improve the quality of the references--Shrike (talk) 16:40, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
- I contribute in a wide range of topic areas including biographies of scientists and Quakers, Arab countries, the Israel-Palestine conflict, and history thereof. I have written several articles which are just short of GA standard, so JSTOR access wouldd be a great help to bring them up to that standard. Havingg said that, if only only 2 or 3 accounts are going to become available, there are plenty of editors above with a better claim than me.--NSH001 (talk) 17:54, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
- I have no access to JSTOR. It would be a significant advantage to my reviewing and writing work on WP. Tony (talk) 14:43, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
- I would like to have access to JSTOR to check content for copyvio or close paraphrasing and to have access to some books.--GoPTCN 16:11, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
- As a medical student just before graduation, I'm frequently editing articles on medicine-related topics; I'm also editing history-related ones. The JSTOR access, which I now don't have an easy access to, would speedy the writing of articles and especially help in having them sourced. I'm an experienced user with an administrator status and tens of thousands of edits here and in the Slovene Wikipedia, where I've recently started the WikiProject Medicine. --Eleassar my talk 17:05, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
- No access, I am handicapped so I cannot use University or State libraries any more. As former State Librarian I would know how to make the best out of JSTOR. I am engaged within the German Wikipedia community in Oceanic affairs (2 portals) (ethnography, history, languages and literatures, social developpment), also in Brazil (ethnies, literature - in portuguese), last subject are the Arts (portal), wide range. Kind regards, --Emeritus (talk) 15:37, 23 April 2012 (UTC)
- Local access unavailable. I edit many subjects, but mostly law and art-related subjects. Many times searches on Google Scholar for citations on esoterica turn up JSTOR items only, so access would be quite helpful to me as an editor. — Sctechlaw (talk) 08:29, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
- I frequently need access to articles held on JSTOR, for research and verification purposes. Mainly in Middle East related areas, but also for other articles which I edit. I have no access to a university library or other subscriber. RolandR (talk) 10:38, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
- I'd be interested to use JSTOR for verification and extension of existing articles as well as writing new ones. I'm primarily active in the fields of mathematics, biographies, history and movies, but essentially I edit in any area where there is need for improvement and I have reliable sources at hand. Since I'm not associated with a university anymore I depend primarily on my own bookshelf, Google Books, Open Access Journals and (free) online material of universities, so JSTOR access would be a great help, since many important journal publications are not available for free online.--Kmhkmh (talk) 05:35, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
- I'd be interested. I've been a fixture for quite some time at a project to reference (or, where necessary, send toward deletion) unreferenced biographies. There are a few categories of such biographies that have been particularly problematic for the effort, one being academics, particularly in fields such as science that don't get mainstream coverage. Many decisions about biographical exclusion or inclusion (err, whether or not to delete a biography) end up getting made on the basis of estimated h-index, often with no editors having actually gotten more than Google Scholar snippets to view in terms of the research that the subject has done, or the research that cites or discusses that subject. This is a problem. As a result, I feel that folks such as myself, as well as regulars at WP:AFD and article sourcing efforts, might be able to make constructive use of such a tool. No existing access, 20K+ edits, admin. --joe deckertalk to me 19:50, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
- I regularly find that refs relevant to my article construction work are behind the JSTOR paywall, so access would help me improve WP further. —SMALLJIM 18:11, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
- I find myself frequently having to pester the good folks at WP:RX, as well as individuals whom I know have JSTOR access, in order to track down sources. Those are used for all sorts of purposes, ranging from creating new articles (I have at present an FA and a few GAs to my name, all more or less solo efforts), through to validation of and additions to sourced content. The verification bit is particularly important as I deal primarily in the India-related sphere and there are often issues regarding English language comprehension that cause academic articles to be unwittingly misrepresented. - Sitush (talk) 10:06, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
- Editor since 2006 with nearly 40K edits and I am generalist and need as Jstor will be excellent resource for improving ,research and verification purposes.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 01:06, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
- I have been an editor since 2008, with 6,218 edits. I primarily edit on articles relating to ethnic groups; JSTOR would help me improve the articles further as academic journals tend to be more up-to-date with present circumstances regarding human rights etc. Furthermore, I tend to write the history, culture (including language(s), religion(s)) and demographics of ethnic groups. Thus, my research is quite extensive. However, at the moment, as I do not have access to an online system which archives academic journals, I cannot improve and expand the articles as much as I would wish to. Having access to JSTOR would also mean that I could verify whether citations are being used and quoted properly. Turco85 (Talk) 10:08, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
- I'm starting to believe that I need that access: within a week I had to ask somebody in IRC three times to check something for me. And I don't believe that this situation will change. mabdul 09:36, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
- Recently I found some very good articles in JSTOR, but I could not read properly since I did not have full access. If it is possible to get access for free or small amount, it'll be helpful for me in writing and improving articles and in my GA reviews (or for the articles I/we are preparing for GA/FA)! --Tito Dutta ✉ 00:49, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
- I already have identified a number of specific sources I would like to use to expand an article. There are a lot of high quality papers (especially about mathematics) which can only be accessed via JSTOR, so this would be very beneficial for Wikipedia. -- Toshio Yamaguchi (tlk−ctb) 16:53, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
- Ich habe keine Zugang zu JSTOR. Ich bin seit 2005 Autor in der deutschsprachigen Wikipedia und habe über 50.000 Edits. Liesel (talk) 11:36, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
- My local library doesn't provide me with JSTOR access. Until now, I always had to ask someone else to send me articles. If possible, I would like to be able to access the articles myself. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 01:53, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
- I work in the redaction Biology in German Wikipedia. I discovered a gender gap between female and male botanists and so I compiled a list of female botanists, who have no lemma in German wikipedia. Jstor access would help me to get easier established informations about their life and scientific work. I have about 8000 edits since 2007. I have no access to Jstor --Belladonna2 (talk) 22:35, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
- Im am writing especially about botany in the German WP including featured articles. Unfortunately I have no access to JSTOR, which would help to get most recent data. --IKAl (talk) 16:34, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
- I am writing in the German WP, my local library doesn't provide me with JSTOR access. I have more than 39,000 edits in articles and have written several featured articles in the German WP. Admin in the German WP since 2006. --Benowar (talk) 20:38, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
- Im an author in the German WP (over 30.000 edits, several featured articles) an some of my working fiels are botany, biology (biotechnology) and sometimes veterinary medicine (especially cat dieseases). A JSTOR account would be a great assistance for article research in this fields. Martin Bahmann (talk) 11:14, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
- Active in the English and German Wikipedia, (>50.000 edits, ~50 featured articles), no access to JSTOR though it would be of great use for me writing articles in biology. Denis Barthel (talk) 16:13, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
- My content work is often in very arcane places, such as the history of the Ainu people, and there are very, very few readily available resources. I used to have JSTOR access as a student, but I'm a year out of school now and I've found many situations where I would have greatly benefited from it. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 01:57, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
- I'm active in creating and expanding articles related to different sports and multi-sport events specially Asian and Commonwealth Games (also the coordinator of WikiProject Multi-sport events). I've created five featured lists, five GAs and some 27 DYKs. I need JSTOR account because there are a very few sources available for said topics (especially related to third world). Besides that, I'm also active on Hindi Wikipedia (sysop) where also I'm a regular contributor to featured articles, lists and DYKs. — Bill william comptonTalk 12:24, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
- I enjoy writing Featured Articles. --Dweller (talk) 12:32, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
- I'm an active contributor since 2004 with over 88,000 edits in several wikipedias and the Commons. I have no acces to JSTOR. Such an access would be very useful for my research in creating and expanding biology articles. JoJan (talk) 13:08, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
- I don't currently have access to JSTOR, thanks to unpaid library fines (I swear I returned the book, they swear I didn't), so this would be quite useful -- I used my library access quite a bit while it was available. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 13:30, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
- I edit actively in many subjects that are underrepresented in Wikipedia, related to women's history, fine art history, and regional history. JSTOR has in the past (when I was a student) proved invaluable to that type of coverage, and can continue to be invaluable if I am able to be provided complimentary access. I was awarded a HighBeam account, and I use it frequently, as well, as prove of concept :) Sarah (talk) 13:33, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
- Have/Had this when I was a student at UTEP, and it made research into a good many things of interest to me just so much easier. I note for the record that I am on here in a limited (very limited?) capacity these days, but the signpost page said to sign up if we were interested so they could gauge editor interest, so here I am :) TomStar81 (Talk) 14:24, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
- If indeed only 100 slots are available, I do not want one -- others have a greater need. If, however, the number is increased, I would be most interested. I do a lot of research connected with WP:DRN, and this would help a lot. --Guy Macon (talk) 14:42, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
- I've got 160 article starts or something like that and am in the top 1500 most active (3/4 edits to mainspace), no access to JSTOR, and write frequently on esoteric topics related to the history and politics of the period 1880 or so to 1930 or so. Access to the journals Labor History, the former Soviet Studies, American Historical Review, etc. would be quite helpful. I've found the very limited content of HiBeam to be of extremely limited use outside of AfD debates, for what it's worth. Carrite (talk) 15:25, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

- I have no easy access and that results in no access for me. I would add many more citations if I did have access. I live in a major metropolitan area but still it would take me 90 minutes roundtrip to access a library. I have a history of adding content from scholarly sources to Wikipedia and am familiar with JSTOR. Blue Rasberry (talk) 19:47, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
- I have no JSTOR access in London, and have long wanted it. I have 45k contributions over 6 years, and often try to improve poorly-cited pages on varied areas including Biblical, Islamic and South Asian topics. Zechariah ben Jehoiada is an example where I could only get the first page from JSTOR without an account. However, I'm currently doing as much on WP admin as contributing, so some of the applications above carry more weight than mine. – Fayenatic London 22:26, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
- If the number is bumped up or others are for whatever reason not granted access/withdraw their requests, I could definitely use JSTOR access. I used to contribute more heavily to articles of specific interest but have lately been doing more general clean up. JSTOR would be great for finding reliable sources, general fact checking, and improving upon references used on articles. Instead of either just labeling something as lacking sources or removing it if it seemed questionable I could go find real sources and make the updates myself. For a while now my main strategy is to just hit the random article link and start fixing things, so I would have a wide area of impact. Tagging alone only goes so far. I would probably also do sweeps through history, medical and psychology topics, which are all areas that seem to in general need more work. DreamGuy (talk) 00:49, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

- I have been an editor and member of the WikiProject:Opera since the autumn of 2005 when I retired and had to the time pursue my interest in opera! I specialise in the primo ottocento era of Italian opera, i.e. 1800 to 1850 approx. plus, of course, all of Verdi's operas. JSTOR is an excellent source of many academic journals which cover many of the rare operas by Rossini, Bellini, and Donizetti, for example. I would love to be able to use it, although I have been known to buy the odd article to supplemenbt my research. My latest work can be seen in the expansion of the articles on Donizetti's Belisario and Maria Stuarda, and Verdi's Un ballo in maschera, all of work of which coincided with rare performances or major presentations by the Met in New York. All were read by a considerable number of people: nearly 8,000 in one day for the Maria Stuarda piece. Currently, I am significantly exapanding the article on L'assedio di Calais, the Donizetti opera to be presented by English Touring Opera in sevral British locations in the Spring 2013.

I currently have over 2,000 edits on English Wikipedia, with over 1,300 unique pages edited and six articles created. When I create a new article, I try to have it listed on the main page, at Did you know? I've also created several articles on Fijian Wikipedia. I write articles on plants, animals, and locations in the Pacific region and notable deceased Americans. I intend to continue a similar pattern of editing. Access to JSTOR would help me because it's difficult to find reliable sources on some of the topics and the libraries in Fiji, where I live, are difficult to access and not well stocked.

- I previously had access when at university and found JSTOR to be the most comprehensive of online databases for journals. Sadly I am no longer at university and can't justify the cost of a subscription as a person who is not employed as an academic.

- Trust Is All You Need (talk · contribs) - I'm active on articles on communism, the institutionalisation of power, one-party systems and ideologies in general. JStor would give me access to sources to improve my work even further; for instance, i've been writing on the Workers' Party of Korea and the Communist Party of China articles (and related topics) recently. If I got access to JStor I could for instance access the article "Integrating Wealth and Power in China: The Communist Party's Embrace of the Private Sector" or "The Making of Chinese Intellectuals: Representations and Organization in the Thought Reform Campaign" (I want to improve articles on the CPC on topics such as ideology, organization, and propaganda) ... Or, for instance I'm interesting in learning (and working on) of the Kim dynasty (about the ruling family of North Korea) and the article "North Korea: From Dictatorship to Dynasty" would be of great help... I've made over 47,000 edits (over 31,000 main page edits) on Wikipedia, created 302 articles and I've been active since 2009.

- Bfpage I am an active editor on Wikipedia. I am a fairly new, new-page reviewer and have found that one of the struggles that new editors have is that they seem to find it difficult to find notable references on an article that they have created. A lot of the newly created articles have great potential, but have to be tagged because they lack notable references, no references or only have one or two. Getting your first article tagged can be discouraging. (It was for me and I had a while where I made no contributions because I was ‘bit’ so hard!) Many times I don’t simply review a new article, but I assist the new editor in locating relevant references. They then receive a positive review on their new article along with an encouraging note from me telling them that their new article has great potential. Because of my educational background and interests I am able to review some of the more technical, scientific, and medical articles. I am also trying to help with the Lepidoptera categories but find that a large percentage of information that I need is in journals. You will find that I don’t have the longest list of newly created articles because I am stalled in finding technical information related to Lepidoptera. I potentially could also expand and add references to other insect-related articles that are mostly stubs at this time. I am active on Special:NewPagesFeed specializing in reviewing the oldest articles that need reviewed. My theory is that other reviewers may find it burdensome to help add technical references to a new article so they pass it on to someone else. I do not have free online access to JSTOR products through my local library. My preferences are enabled to receive email messages on English Wikipedia. I have an account that is more than one year old. I have a total of 1,300 edits. I am active in content generation, adding references, establishing notability, and research. I’ve even read the JSTOR Terms of Service. I really would like to be the first positive message that a new editor gets telling them that I was able to add a few relevant references to their very first article.

Most of them stay basically in the form I created, not because I am that perfect writer, but mostly because nobody gives a damn.

It would provide me with a vast array of sources with which I could add content to articles; it would really enable me to expand the scale of my content. The ability to add scholarly content is so important on Wikipedia, and is especially helpful in contentious areas that need impartial analysis. As other editors have noted, it's very frustrating not to be able to view JSTOR articles in full. Thanks for your consideration. GeneralizationsAreBad

My interests are somewhat ecclectic but I believe JSTOR access would help with history (esp., 19th century US, medieval studies,and 200 BCE - 200 CE middle east) archaeology, and biography in those eras, Christian history, theology, theologians, and biblical scholarship as well as early Buddhism, Taoism, and religious studies in general.

The topics have been limited by by access to secondary literature at a local state college. I have tried to take a thinly sourced article and add the most up=to=date references. Recent examples I am woring on are Donald F. Turner and Archibald Cox. In those cases and others (see, e.g. Creodonta and Stanley Steingut), I took a stub or start and turned it into a reliable research source with substantial references. Since I have limited time to spend in the local research library and since I have no access to online databases (except my own subscription tot he NY Times) my ablity to do this kind of editiing is limited and irregular.

- allixpeeke (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email)), I have been active on Wikipedia for over ten years (with over 5,000 edits), on Wikiquote for over twenty-one months (with almost 14,000 edits), and on Wikidata for over twenty-one months (with over 1,000 edits). I also edit Commons and Wikisource from time to time (and I've been known to irregularly edit Wiktionary, Wikinews, Simple, and Wikibooks, among others).
My main focus on Wikipedia has been political philosophy, while my focus tends to be broader on Wikiquote, where I've done the majority of my editing. As an example of something I'm currently working on on Wikiquote, I've been recently focused on figures from Colonial America. Although I've started with Maryland, I've designs eventually cover all of the major figures of that era from all of the America colonies. Thus, so far, I've created pages for Lord Baltimores George Calvert and Cecil Calvert; governors Leonard Calvert, Thomas Greene, William Stone, Josias Fendall, and Thomas Notley; and rebels William Davyes and John Pate. (This is by no means to imply that Colonial America is my sole focus on Wikiquote, of course; I've created pages as diverse as the Fibonacci sequence, Jefferson in Paris, honey (the food), Honey (the band), Lady Godiva, Monday, Mother Nature, and police state, just to name only a very few.)
Currently, I use a combination of the books I've accumulated over the years and the Internet in order to conduct research, both for Wikipedia and for Wikiquote, although I did have experience with JSTOR back in my college years. It would certainly prove useful for my various endeavours on the various Wiki projects.
Thanks for the consideration,

In am multilingual, but though most of my over 8000 edits have been in English, I have 19 in French, 5 in Swedish and 4 in Catalan, and can translate from most European languages. The fields covered are principally in the arts: literature, music, science and films - which interests started by the discovery of many of my ancestors who were talented in these areas. A fortuitous discovery of an advertisement in an old "Musical Times" has provided an example of how useful it would be to access a series of this publication.P0mbal (talk) 17:55, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

- scope_creep (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) Active on WP:EN only, for around 10+ years, in good standing I guess. I work mostly in military history at the moment, which started the series of articles I've worked on via an article request for a German logician called Heinrich Scholz, which ultimately led to what I'm doing now. The work I'm doing now is detailed, technical and difficult, particularly trying to track salient information, separating hearsay and oft repeated information from fact. Mostly I get information from Google Book, speaking to people via email, library books, and German and American archives, but information is sparse, by the simple fact that the work was hidden by nature, e.g. German cryptology. Access to JStor would help on this, since I bump into all time, particularly today, when I was looking for information on German Naval Enigma. This is the sort of article I want to read, [ENIGMA: SEAHORSE AND OTHER KRIEGSMARINE CIPHER BLUNDERS] and also several articles within this list [Table of contents]. scope_creep (talk) 13:58, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
