Wikipedia:TWL/Expect # Add yourself with #{{user8|USERNAME|Project=code}} (e.g. {{user8|Example|Project=en}}), active areas on Wikipedia, and how you would use access to JSTOR.

1. I am planning to get involved in the GA review process, (See here ) particularly science articles. Many of the references are accessible only via JStor, and I would like to review the references to make sure they support the article. (I checked to see if I qualified under the alumni option of if a local public library had access, but came up empty.) Sphilbrick (talk · contribs) Approved
2. I actively edit articles related to the Partition of India, 1971 Bangladesh genocide and minorities in East Pakistan/Bangladesh. There are many scholarly articles on these topics, but unfortunately they are only accessible through JSTOR. Is it possible to get an account? BengaliHindu (talk · contribs) Approved
3. Masssly (talk · contribs) I am actively involved in several Wikimedia projects. I am a reviewer and an avid fighter of vandalism. My main interests include creating and improving Africa related content and the use of Wikipedia in Education in Africa. Because I feel users' good-faith contributions should not be removed outright even if they are not referenced I take it upon myself to Google and verify their edits and include citations if the information turns out correct. I have High-beam access but I could do more good if I was armed with JSTOR as well. Furthermore I am an M.Sc. Statistics candidate and my thesis is intended to assess the perceptions of professors and students in higher education in Ghana about Wikipedia and attempt to measure their confidence on its continued use as reference medium as well as a research or learning tool given that Wikipedia has often been derided by academics for containing misleading and factual errors. I could really use some rare resources (which I have only seen so far on JSTOR) to improve my literature. Thank you. —Sadat (Masssly)❤Talk☮C☺Email☯ 14:26, 27 August 2014 (UTC) Approved[reply]

7. Odysseus1479 (talk · contribs): I have little in the way of a content-creation résumé, nor any particular specialty, but am increasingly finding lack of access to full papers an impediment to reference-, fact-, or copyvio-checking and other miscellaneous bits of research. JSTOR is one of the sites at which my trails end most often, with just an abstract or sample page.

I'm active on WikiProject Islam and WikiProject Novels but my major interest is to work on Islamic articles, so I need to work with free available sources which help me complete these articles. Having full access to reliable sources (which is not easy by now) will help with creating and editing articles and hence I need to use scholarly articles most of which are accessible only through JSTOR.

Aditya Kabir (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) — I edit a lot of fringe subjects and other random stuff, but I prefer to make them as high quality as I can, with extra emphasis on comprehensive coverage. All that requires research and source material of really high grade. I have started using high beam already, JSTOR would awesome. Sending someone a link to a JSTOR article and waiting for a replay that I can use is a long, tedious and often unfruitful method.

2. I do not have access to the JSTOR site. But a fellow editor (will disclose name to contacts if requested) was gracious enoughr to mail me the PDFs I requested, which he told me he acquired through a professor he knew. I Googled jstor domain to find links which I appear to be useful from the abstract or name and mail it to him. The process took about 3 weeks due to non-availability of his friend professor. I contribute to FAs, GAs and DYKs generally related to Hinduism and India. --Redtigerxyz ^Talk 18:06, 4 April 2012 (UTC) Update: No access.

3. Editor since 2008, 10k edits, 7 GAs. I've got my eye on a few series of articles, primarily food and drink, which I've already started working on and hope to progress this year. I do currently have limited JSTOR access through my girlfriend, though that runs out at the end of the month, after which I will have no access. Whilst I would find this very useful, depending on the limitations, please put me lower down the list, as some of the above (and I expect below) are exceptionally good editors who should get it before me.

11. My JSTOR access is linked to my university for employment-related tasks, not for Wikipedia, and the diversion of public resources for private pursuits is anathema in Sweden. Furthermore, many journals covering American politics/culture and music, on which I have written c. a dozen articles in the last year, are not included in Swedish-university subscriptions to JSTOR. I don't use automated tools but still am among the top 300 editors on edit-counts in the last 2-3 years, the last time I looked. (I prefer short edits.) I have been the main contributor to one A-class article (mathematics and economics), a couple Good class articles (a US social-democrat who played an important role in two revolutions against authoritarian regimes and DGM), lots of B & C articles, 20 DYKS, etc. I've cleaned up a lot of articles dealing with US politics, Robert Fripp, Ovation guitars, etc. The last months, I've been improving the guitar tunings article, which is seen by more than 1.6 thousand persons daily; I've rewritten and finally referenced all the articles on regular tunings, generating two DYKS; the next step is to clean-up open tunings, for which JSTOR's articles on American culture and music would be helpful. My receiving access to HighBeam led to immediate extensive improvements in DGM and other articles. Thus, I may be considered worthy to pour Sandy's tea or shine PoD's shoes: After the best writers receive JSTOR, I would like to be considered for a B-team subscription.  Kiefer.Wolfowitz 21:50, 13 April 2012 (UTC) 15:54, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

24. I edit primarily in Greek and Roman history and literature and find that our coverage of these topics is often horribly hindered by our reliance upon public domain sources which don't present the great advances of the past 100 years. A JSTOR subscription would greatly facilitate my efforts here, and I have, even in cases where I've accessed articles in hard copy, always been sure to include a stable JSTOR link in my citation templates.  ^davidiad_.: 02:32, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

28. I currently have no access to JSTOR, have not edited much recently, and, if given access, will use it for fact-checking and point-making in content disputes. In truth, I will probably read it mostly for recreation and the advance of my own knowledge, from time to time sharing pertinent ideas with Wikipedia. I edit in religion, theology, Biblical studies, and philosophy, and already have a lot of the Philosophy Documentation Center collection/Poiesis (on my own dime!, and it's not cheap), along with limited access to Project Muse (whenever I'm at the House of Studies and not on assignment, which should be again in about a year or two).

30. I edit articles related to astronomy and astrophysics, and in particular astrobiology/extraterrestrial intelligence/extrasolar planet articles, although I do edit in other areas of astronomy as well. I would like a JSTOR account because JSTOR publishes the Journal of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, which provides a wealth of information about these topics which I have at times wanted to access. Access to paid sources is all the more important for topics where the vast majority of literature is non-free, such as my article "Cultural impact of extraterrestrial contact." Such is the case in many areas of astrobiology and SETI research. I hope Wikipedia is willing to expand this program to other journals later on. I'm not the most prolific user (I've only made ten articles, including 1 GA and 1 DYK, and I only have ~2,200 edits and 6 months of experience on Wikipedia) but I think that access to JSTOR will help me to add and improve articles in fields which are underrepresented on Wikipedia.

31. I find that, when editing Wikipedia, I am reading a JSTOR summary about three times a week, but this seldom carries the material needed for the reference.

33. I've made over 42,000 edits in Wikipedia including 8 GAs. Most of my articles involve a great deal of academic research. But though I've made extensive searches in Wikipedia and tried to get hold of the best books on the subject, lack of access to JSTOR has been a severe drawback for me. There has been many a time when a Google search had led me to a JSTOR site containing the exact article that I might need only to find that I had permission only to view the first page.

Seven of these, generally the most recent, have been to dyk, three are now at GA or FL level. My 12K edits also involve getting another article to GA on my own and co-operating on getting a second article I did not create to FA status and a third to GA. With better resources, I would look at getting more material to featured or good status either on my own or in collaboration.--Peter cohen (talk) 19:06, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

43. Tijfo098 (talk · contribs): I've made about 12K edits since 2010. I have a problem similar to that described by Kiefer.Wolfowitz. Access to humanities journals is quite limited for me, but I edit articles which require that as well, e.g. modern history. Two recent examples where I had to request resource exchange are [2] [3] After receiving the first source, I've revamped the article [4]; it had number of inaccuracies.

63. Sturunner (talk · contribs) Almost all of my recent edits are science related. Specifically, the issue of memory processing, retention, & recall of traumatic events is increasingly an issue in child-abuse policy & legal cases. It is impossible to do this area justice w/o JSTOR.

64. Gparkes (talk · contribs) I do not have access to JSTOR. At one point, while going to college, I had access to JSTOR. I would like to use it for research into historical subjects, which is what I primarily edit. I realize that I do not have the 1000 edits, however, after you review the quality of my edits and use of citations, I hope that you can understand why such a valuable resource would be useful. Greg (talk) 03:02, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Greg, I did take a look at your contributions, and they look good. But we made the 1000-edit rule, and have applied it for other editors in the past. It wouldn't be fair to start waiving it at this point. I believe there could be spare accounts when we are done this round, so perhaps we can have a discussion then about lowering the number, or making exemptions.
