SMcCandlish (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) 10 years, 100K edits. Have created over 140 new articles, but mostly work on improving very short dictionary-like entries to encyclopedic quality. Most active in biological, anthropological, and linguistic topic areas. For example, I helped developed Albinism and related articles here, and am presently working on Race (biology), about the taxonomic term, and have long been working on a various animal breed-related articles. So, I'd be most able to make use of Academic Search Complete and MasterFILE Complete, though Business Source Complete might also be useful for business-related research in other topics I edit, like sports history. See, e.g., William A. Spinks, of which I wrote about 95%, and about 1/3 of Glossary of cue sports terms. One area in which our billiards/pool articles are sorely lacking is the history of the commercial side of the sport; very few present or historical manufacturers have articles presently. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼ 20:45, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oceanflynn (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) -- I have contributed over 10,000 edits over a number of years, mainly in English, creating new articles, sandbox articles, editing existing articles, adding categories, wikilinks and improving reference details on articles, etc. I have recently been accepted as volunteer with Wikipedia Library. I use ProveIt and I am a frequent user of "inline edit inline citation" summaries. I take great care with citations using DOI, PMID, ISBN, etc. I often cite peer-reviewed academic articles. I participated in an editathon. I would use EBSCO to add content and to improve references by adding reference details. I am no longer working with an academic institution so I do not have easy access to journals. I read The Economist regularly whenever I can.

John Hill (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I have made over 21,000 edits to Wikipedia, initiated many articles, and uploaded more than 545 of my own photos plus many other images to Wikipedia since January 2005. I edit articles on many diverse subjects including Asian history and geography, the history of the Silk Roads, Australian fauna and flora, and West Indian history and culture. I also constantly monitor changes to numerous articles, and regularly edit articles by other editors. I have published a book, now in its 2-volume 2nd edition:- Through the Jade Gate - China to Rome: A Study of the Silk Routes 1st to 2nd centuries CE which includes the first complete English translation of the chapter on the countries to the west of China from the Hou Hanshu. I am preparing another book - a translation of the 3rd century CE, the Weilüe, which also describes the Silk Routes both overland and maritime between China, India, Central Asia and Rome.

Launchballer (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I have been editing on and off across multiple accounts for over seven years, and using this one for over two and a half, with at the time of writing just under 15,000 edits on this account. Although I rarely edit Business-based Wikipedia articles, I'd like to apply to access the Business Source Complete, as I'm doing an Access to Higher Education course in Business Studies at Kingston College.--Laun chba ller 21:48, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Launchballer: Can you explain a little more about how you intend to use Business Source Complete? Is that resource the primary reason you are applying for access to EBSCO and is the intention to use Business Source Complete to expand Wikipedia's content? -Thibbs (talk) 03:04, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Certainly. Access to Higher Education is an adult education course which provides a leg up into university in the UK. II'm doing Access to Business which is why I'm after this Business resource. I tend not to toot my contributions to the Business section of Wikipedia as I think they amount to just express pricing and value brands in the United Kingdom, Luisa Zissman and List of companies with spelling mistakes in their names and I didn't see that intent as a requirement but if there is anything my course covers that Wikipedia doesn't I'll happily copy it over (although as it's pre-university it probably won't be very much).--Laun chba ller 07:54, 9 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Launchballer: Pending... The basic reason Wikipedia offers these accounts is to expand and improve Wikipedia's content. This may not be expressed very clearly since it's not listed under the requirements, but the TWL Partnership Processing Timeline above shows in step #4 that the active use of EBSCO access is intended for the improvement of Wikipedia content. It would be wonderful if TWL were able to offer databases like EBSCO to supplement the academic endeavors of all of our editors, but we simply lack the resources to offer those kinds of services. Because you've indicated that the overlap between your intended use of the database and those areas of Wikipedia that you might incidentally improve probably won't be very much, it would be best for now if we revisit this application later if there are accounts left over. -Thibbs (talk) 21:20, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Neuralia: Thank you, yes. More explanations would be welcome. Neither of the two Ref #5's at the Eva Neer article seem to be related to EBSCO database content. Are there specific sources similar to Ref #5 and within the EBSCO database that you are hoping to use to expand the Eva Neer article? Are you planning to use sources within the EBSCO database to add references like Ref #5 to other articles similar to Eva Neer? I'm just trying to determine whether there are any specific EBSCO resources that you are specifically interested in or whether your interest in the database is more of a general kind of interest. -Thibbs (talk) 19:59, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Epolk (talk · contribs) I have been an editor for about a decade. Per X!'s Tools I have over 17,000 edits, 14,000+ of which are on unique pages. As the number of articles on Wikipedia have reached a critical mass, I have moved from creating and proofreading articles to creating citations for existing articles. The publicly available sources for searching scholarly works usually point to an abstract for an article or a pay site (e.g. JSTOR) so my ability to provide accurate and complete citations are currently limited. As for my areas of interest, they tend toward history and the sciences, especially zoology as this area seems to be most in need of expansion and citation of sources.

+#:{{ping|Alexander Tendler}} Can you explain how this particular resource will be helpful to you? -[[User:Thibbs|Thibbs]] ([[User talk:Thibbs|talk]]) 16:40, 16 October 2015 (UTC) Of course! EBSCO database contains an enormous number of academic journals, including in my domains of activity. Accessing EBSCO would create an excellent opportunity for essential contributions. --[[User:Alexander Tendler|Alexander Tendler]] ([[User talk:Alexander Tendler|talk]]) 16:04, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
 #{{user8|Keahapana|Project=en}} Contributing to WP since 2006, most of my editing has been in articles concerning Chinese and Japanese languages, linguistics, lexicography, Eastern religions, and mythology. Obtaining EBSCO access to academic journals would be very useful in my WP research. Thanks, [[User:Keahapana|Keahapana]] ([[User talk:Keahapana|talk]])
