  1. WCCasey (talk · contribs) I'm an American, an active editor on Wikipedia since 2009, with interests mainly in U.S. and British history. Access to OUP resources would be a tremendous help in WP article research. WCCasey (talk) 17:12, 8 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  3. SMcCandlish (talk · contribs). Not a renewal, but formerly approved for both Credo and Highbeam. Wikipedian for 8+ years. I have a degree in anthropology and applied linguistics, but am not a professional academic so I don't have journal access any longer. My main (relevant) research needs are in arts (especially Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Symbolism, Arts & Crafts and Romanticism, as well as contemporary art, and post-punk music), biography (especially obscure but important sports figures, e.g. William A. Spinks, which is about 95% my work, and about read for Feature Article review), life sciences (felinology, herpetology, commercial animal breeding, history of domestication), anthropology/archaeology/history (e.g. Celtic history and religion, pre-Indo-European archaeology, history of sport), and various other topics (I'm a major contributor to articles on albinism, linguistics, and other subjects that require citation high-quality sources).  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  13:13, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  4. User:Bmcln1. I'm a British editor living in Hungary, without library access to these resources. I am fluent in Hungarian and German and bad at French. I subscribe to ODNB (expensive). I'm active mainly in English literature and UK topography. I have created 57 articles since 2010 and made major additions to 140 more. Links to these can be found on User:Bmcln1.

  6. Hello, I am user Tom. It's Monday 28th April in England, so I'm going to add my application. I am active in brands and business related pages. I am principally involved in content creation. I do not currently have access to the Oxford resources through my local library or university. I can receive email from Wikipedia users.

  9. I have over 10,000 edits on English Wikipedia since 2002; I frequently edit articles about scientific and mathematical history, and I lost my online OED access in 2009. Since then I have had to make do with my paper copy, which is much less convenient —Mark Dominus (talk) 17:29, 28 April 2014 (UTC).[reply]
  10. Would use it mostly in writing in the humanities but also fact checking science articles (using Bibliography for ecology and biology). -- Alanscottwalker (talk) 17:52, 28 April 2014

  14. -- nearly 320.000 Edits at Wikimedia projects in more than 9 years, started some 1000s articles. Active at GLAM. And once more: this here depends to Meta, not to en:WP. We have Meta for that and as long the WMF pays for this, all Wikimedians in all projects have to have the same chance! Marcus Cyron (talk) 18:05, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  15. Hi, I'm User:Icarus of old, active since 2006. I write mainly about German and Austrian authors and literature, so the OUP would be an invaluable resource for me. All best. Icarus of old (talk) 18:12, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  17. Hello I am User:Carriearchdale I have been on Wikipedia since 2007 and currently have over 2700 edits globally over all the wikis. I am interested in having access to this wonderful resource to expand and verify articles in several different interest areas including biographies, linguistics, literature, classic antiquity studies, the arts, and education. I do not have access through local libraries since I live in a quite rural type setting. I would especially like to have access to the "Dictionary of National Biography" to further my verification of bio articles and move into creation of new bio articles. Thanks for your kind consideration. Carriearchdale (talk) 19:19, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  18. Doc Taxon (talk) 19:38, 28 April 2014 (UTC) – for researches in en:WP:REX and its brother de:WP:BIBR, and also for worthful development of articles[reply]
  19. User:Kmhkmh around 8800 edits in en.wp and around 33000 edits inen.wp since 2007. I could use tge account primarily for the verification and extension of existing articles, but possibly also for the occasional new one. Considering my work in WP in particular the access to the biographical material would be useful to me--Kmhkmh (talk) 19:32, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  20. User:JonRichfield. In the past four years or so I have done well over 3000 edits, and a fair proportion of my work has been on articles that I initiated. Most of the topics that I deal with are substantial, plus many RFCs (no groupie celeb touting for example). Most of my work is in a wide range of scientific and technical matters, particularly biological and computing, though I deal with a certain amount of historical and philological material as well. This often gets me into situations where OUP publications are the most desirable citations, and the accessible abstracts are not always an adequate basis for a good-faith citation. A good proportion of my work is in dealing with "citation wanted" material, so my requirements for reputable citations is atypically high. I am retired and cannot often reach the local university libraries where otherwise I could have got access to the desired publications, which I certainly could not afford myself, and do not apply for any material benefit to myself nor to any third party, commercial or otherwise. In short, I could make excellent use of access to the publications, publicising their value in the process. I am thoroughly aware of my responsibilities in protecting the interests of the publisher. Thank you for your attention. JonRichfield (talk) 19:56, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I would use the account to increase the references in the articles of spanish Wikipedia related to that topics. Thank you in advance. Salvador alc (talk) 20:55, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  23. Justlettersandnumbers Access to Grove, Grove Art and the DNB would be invaluable to me, both in content creation and (in the case of the DNB) in copyright cleanup, this being unfortunately a much-plagiarised source. A Brit not living in the UK, I don't have access through a local library, and my Open University access has lapsed. OED access would be wonderful ... could they be persuaded to include that too? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:22, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  24. DJ Nietzsche +18,000 editions on Spanish Wikipedia since 2007. I usually write articles related to psychology and social sciences in general. The OUP account would be a very helpful resource for me. Thanks. --DJ Nietzsche (talk) 21:45, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  25. User:Ealdgyth I do not have access to Oxford journals at a local library, and now that I'm taking care of my elderly mother full time, I can no longer drive the hour and a half to get to a university library to access them. I write on equine subjects as well as medieval English history, usually ecclesiastical, but other aspects as well. I have well over 50 featured articles I've worked on, as well as over 100 Good articles, with a long list of other articles I wish to work on. I had been paying for ODNB access myself, but it would be much easier on my life if I didn't have to cough that amount up each year. (My paid access has lapsed two months ago ... its been tight this winter and I haven't managed to get the money together to renew) Ealdgyth - Talk 21:54, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  26. Ruby2010 30,000+ edits, I edit articles on historical figures, mainly British noblewomen from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries. Access to the ODNB would be invaluable (currently I access it through a friend, which obviously is not a great arrangement). Thank you for your consideration!

On Norwegian Wikipedia, I used to be active in content competitions. I mostly write society related articles, both contemporary and historical; many biographies. The Norwegian Biographical Encyclopedia is available free online and I often use it when writing articles, so I know from experiences that these kind of sources can be helpful for me.

I expect to find the most value in the American National Biography (mostly for creating, expanding and sourcing U.S. biographical articles), the Dictionary of National Biography (I seem to do a lot of DYK reviews for relevant articles), and Grove Music Online (I'm not awfully interested in music, but I do brush up against a lot of music-related topics). --Orlady (talk) 17:25, 1 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  75. ChristopheS (talk · contribs), 2 May 2014. Contributor to the English, German, French and Dutch versions of Wikipedia (with an occasional foray in the Spanish version) since September 2007 (see global user contributions). Interested in East-Asian history, culture and languages, especially Chinese, and increasingly also in the history and philosophy of science. Researcher in Human-Computer Interaction, hence the edits related to computer accessibility.
  76. Peripatetic (talk · contribs), 2 May 2014. Contributor to the English Wikipedia - have created more than 900 new articles in the last 9 years, putting me at number 502 in the all-time list. Love to create more and more new articles on lesser-known topics, especially relating to the arts and humanities. Access to OUP would be the perfect gateway for this kind of work. --Peripatetic (talk) 12:27, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  78. Ylee (talk · contribs), 2 May 2014. I have been a Wikieditor for ten years and contribute to a wide variety of articles, including world history, computers/video games, film and television, and almost much anything else. I have Questia and JSTOR access, but do not have access to OUP.
  79. Blarcrean (talk · contribs) I have been a contributor to Wikipedia since 2009 with a modest 2300+edits to my name as well as original articles mainly on Southern African humanities-related subjects - believing that OUP access would prove invaluable for improving materials available in Wikipedia for a relatively neglected part of the world.
  80. Ssilvers (talk · contribs) - Since 2006 I have created hundreds, and edited thousands, of pages on Wikipedia, especially about musical theatre and comic opera, but also about the environment, the Victorian era and a variety of other topics; I frequently come across OUP materials in my searches and would like to be able to access them. -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:25, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  81. Victoriaearle (talk · contribs) Editing actively since 2009 in the humanities (literature, art, etc) with about 45,000 edits. I expect this would be helpful. Victoria (tk) 21:45, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  82. Jeremy112233 (talk · contribs) - I have over 20,000 edits and have edited heavily for over two years. I mainly research and write in the areas of law, non-profits, fashion, all art forms, and I dabble in pages about companies, medicine, and other sciences. It is a very broad range, and access to this particular body of information would be helpful in making my contributions more complete. I have no access through any local institution.Jeremy112233 (Lettuce-jibber-jabber?) 22:31, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  83. Hmlarson (talk · contribs) I've been most active on articles related to women's history and sports in the last few years. I will be using OUP resources to further develop articles in these areas. Thank you.
  84. Capaccio (talk · contribs) - I am mainly active on the Dutch version of Wikipedia, where I edit on a very regular basis, especially in the field of sciences (chemistry, biology and physics). I wrote more than 2,200 articles on chemical topics only, and more than 10,000 in total. I did more than 123,000 edits. One of my main goals is to disseminate accurate and verifiable information. Access to OUP would be a great opportunity for doing this. It would also be helpful for correcting information that is wrong or to support statements that need verification, especially because I act as a troubleshooter for scientific problems on our language version. - Capaccio (talk) 08:23, 3 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  85. Smkolins (talk · contribs) been active for many years split between science and religion related articles. Over 100 original articles, 1900 on watchlist, and 24k live edits (the user space count is mostly for sandbox development of articles.) --Smkolins (talk) 11:34, 3 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Glad to be able to contribute to the common endeavor and, obviously, very happy, to gain access to the great wealth of learning and solid information of Oxford university.
  90. SarekOfVulcan (talk · contribs), 3 May 2014. Would be editing a lot more music articles given Grove access. :-)
  91. Softlavender (talk · contribs) Account since 2007; 21,000 edits on 4,800 articles. I have the HighBeam access and would love to add this. Especially the Grove online -- I edit a lot of classical music articles and it's frustrating not to have that (expensive) access! Softlavender (talk) 06:25, 4 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  92. Titodutta (talk · contribs) I am mostly active in WikiProject India related articles. I have told Ocaasi, not all libraries of TWL are helpful for WP India, but this might be a helpful one. I have been editing for last 2-3 years and have 60 thousand or so edits. Tito☸Dutta 06:35, 4 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  93. Tjarrett (talk · contribs) First edit in 2005, active since 2007, 2800 edits on 933 pages. Focus on University of Virginia related articles but have expanded into classical music related articles as well. Grove and American National Biography would be most helpful. -Tjarrett (talk) 10:29, 4 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  94. LeftAire (talk · contribs) First edit in December of 2011 (+2,100 total status), and was very active until early 2013, and have been sporadic with editing until a few months ago. My main focuses are on certain facets of the Spanish Empire (New Spain, I've made substantial edits to its portal) and the Portuguese Empire, Mimids (Brown Thrasher and Northern Mockingbird (Both GAs) were largely edited by me, especially the former), and other historical/geographical articles of people who just need some brushing up to reach GA/FA status (Isabel of Castile, Alexander Hamilton, Macau, etc.). I won't have access to JSTOR anymore and my local university Library as often once the summer is up, but will definitely have time to edit more articles. LeftAire (talk) 18:55, 4 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  95. Gloria sah (talk · contribs) Active mainly in eml.wikipedia, where we etitors are in a very little number, but we 'll go ahead, and the wonderful OUP references will be the maximum for our articles development. --Gloria sah (talk) 19:09, 4 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  96. Tucoxn (talk · contribs) I would like an OUP account if one becomes available. I've been editing on English Wikipedia since 2008, but I also edit on French Wikipedia, Fijian Wikipedia, and Simple Wikipedia. I am mainly a researcher and content creator. I currently have over 6,000 edits on English Wikipedia, with over 3,900 unique pages edited and nine non-redirect 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 OUP publications 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. Thanks for your consideration! - tucoxn\talk 09:45, 5 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  97. Cplakidas (talk · contribs) Over 100k edits since 2005, a few FAs and 100+ GA and A-class articles, mostly on historical subjects (Byzantine Empire, medieval & modern Greece, early Islamic era, Ottoman Balkans). OUP is among the major publishers in these fields, and access to this resource would be of huge assistance. Constantine ✍ 14:35, 5 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  98. Seduisant (talk · contribs) Editor since 2005, approved for both Credo and Highbeam. Have written 5 biographical articles about artists, and improved several others, so Oxford Art and DNB access would be extremely helpful. --Seduisant (talk) 14:56, 5 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  106. Mkdw (talk · contribs) I am active in the WP:AFD process and often use reference material in determining notability and improving articles that can be saved. My general areas of interest are biographies and neologisms though I have been known to write about other topics such as articles about cities, industries, or companies. I have a fairly lengthy history on Wikipedia as indicated on my account meta data. Mkdwtalk 20:41, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  107. Smeat75 (talk · contribs) In a little over two years I have made some 3,500 edits, I am active in classical music articles and have recently written or majorly expanded numerous articles on the works of Handel,and plan to continue with works of Purcell (many missing from WP altogether) as well as Handel so access to Grove online would be particularly useful. I also edit a lot in the field of early Christianity and the Roman empire, the clash between the early church and Rome, saints and martyrs. Smeat75 (talk) 23:14, 6 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  111. JoJan (talk · contribs) I've been an active contributor for over 10 years with about 110,000 edits in wikipedias in several languages (mostly en. and nl.) and in the Commons (with an upload of over 10,000 photos, in great majority of works of art).Some of these photos have been used by academics in scientific papers. I've started more than 1,000 articles (some with a very large readership) and contributed (mostly somewhat longer contributions) in several thousand others. I've written a number biographies of artists, some of which are still alive and have given me permission through OTRS to photograph their works and put them in the Commons. I've also written a number of articles about the early Renaissance in Italy. For most of these articles I had the pleasure to rely on the then-called Grove Dictionary of Art at my local library. If I could access the OUP from my computer, it could save me a lot of time, resulting in more contributions. JoJan (talk) 14:57, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  112. Kmzayeem (talk · contribs) I have been editing in Wikipedia since May 2012 and made over 9000 edits so far with almost 80% of them being in the mainspace. My prime interests have been the articles related to culture, arts, music, history and economy of Bangladesh and South Asia in general. Apart from content creation, I have actively participated in the verification of numerous existing articles as well as saving several articles from deletion. A free access to OUP's online resources would help me a lot to do the works more effectively.--Zayeem (talk) 17:42, 7 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  113. Viriditas (talk · contribs) Active editor since August 2004 with 125k live edits. I edit and contribute in many different areas, including art, music, and biography. I've reviewed ~50 GAs and written a few as well. I'm currently reviewing Brad Mehldau. I came here because that article contains a reference to Grove that I can't verify without access. Past reviews have had me scratching my head when I couldn't view paywalled OUP biography entries. My public library does not have access to these resources. Thanks.

  114. GaryColemanFan (talk · contribs) Editor for 7 years with just under 20,000 edits. I have been primarily active in professional wrestling, with quite a few edits to other topics. In wrestling, it can be hard to find reliable sources, so this would be a very valuable resource. I would also like to expand into some baseball biographies and would find this a very helpful resource. GaryColemanFan (talk) 05:45, 8 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  117. Iñaki LL (talk · contribs) Hi, I am an English wikipedia editor, occasionally on the Basque, French and Spanish ones also. Editor since January 2008 with 3,300 edits. I work on areas related to Basque language, culture, geography, and history—text, pictures, and maps. I also have a handful of worldwide and Basque specific pictures uploaded in wikicommons. I find little on English sources related to these topics, and often based on Spanish references. A good part of my contribution so far came down to bridging information gaps and fixing inaccuracies. While I have attempted to gain access to English language journals, I find many or most of the papers are (frustratingly) restricted. Iñaki LL (talk) 09:41, 10 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
