Round 4

Delivered
  1. Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk · contribs) - 8 year editor with > 100,000 edits on English Wikipedia. Biographies, access to obitauries would be excellent.

  4. Ajraddatz (talk · contribs) - Active mainly on Wikidata, where some sources from Questia could help all of the language Wikipedias by providing references for some statements.
  5. 4nn1l2 (talk · contribs). Persian Wikipedia. It's the second year I'm editing on Wikipedia and of course enjoying it. I usually write about Middle East history, culture, and societies. Aside from Middle East topics, I enthusiastically edit articles on engineering and fundamental sciences. I have wrote 2 Featured article yet and expanded a whole bunch of other ones. I intend to expand my work on Wikipedia but unfortunately due to recent sanctions against Iran, I have lost my access to digital libraries.

Thank you, -- Doc Taxon (talk) 13:43, 22 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  9. User:Blackberry Sorbet. Interest lies largely in articles that often predate the commonality of the internet and access to Questia's digitized archives of journals etc would be extremely useful in sourcing material as well as opening avenues for new articles which might otherwise fall by the wayside for lack of access to sources.
