  1. 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)[reply]
  2. 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)[reply]
  3. For featured articles. I have no access to JSTOR, and have missed it sorely in the past. --Noleander (talk) 17:59, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  4. 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)[reply]
  5. 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 realated to Hinduism and India. --Redtigerxyz Talk 18:06, 4 April 2012 (UTC) Update: No access. This wikipedia editor is inactive.--Redtigerxyz Talk 05:50, 10 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  6. 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)[reply]
    I see that JSTOR may start contacting people about access. I'm still interested. - Dank (push to talk) 17:32, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  7. 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)[reply]
  8. 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)[reply]
  9. 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)[reply]
  10. 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)[reply]
  11. 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)[reply]
  12. 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)[reply]
  13. 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)[reply]
  14. 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)[reply]
  15. 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)[reply]
    Removing for now because I am getting trial free access, also I think for a year, through "Alumni Oxford" - NOTE: All Oxford alumni should be able to get this& it comes through straight away. No JSTOR access, which would be extremely useful for my work on art history articles. 10 FAs, 189 DYKs, & over 100,000 edits on en:wp, many on subjects with relatively poor book coverage. Johnbod (talk) 00:02, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    See talk: Oxford have told me alumni access is extended indefinitely - check your college as over 50 now offer free alumni access. Johnbod (talk) 12:53, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  16. 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)[reply]
  17. 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)[reply]
  18. 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)[reply]
  19. 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)[reply]
  20. 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)[reply]
  21. 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)[reply]
  22. 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)[reply]
  23. 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)[reply]
  24. 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)[reply]
  25. 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)[reply]
  26. 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)[reply]
  27. 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. WormTT · (talk) 08:11, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  28. Active in content creation and improvement for 5+ years now. No current access to JSTOR which routinely obstructs my searches for references. Warden (talk) 10:50, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  29. JSTOR might be the best access that could be provided for those who are looking to reference high quality articles. Four years, 18,000 edits, 3 GAs, 280 article created — all with high quality references (many from JSTOR, requested from other editors, since I have no access). Articles I've created include two on academic journals that are part of a JSTOR subscription: Willdenowia and Kew Bulletin :-). First Light (talk) 15:26, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  30. Editor since 2009; I would be very appreciative of JSTOR access for my source reviewing for FAC. Eisfbnore (下さいて話し) 16:40, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  31. 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)[reply]
  32. 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)[reply]
  33. 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)[reply]
  34. 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)[reply]
  35. I've never had JSTOR access (since graduated but my uni never offered it), yet would love to tackle more academic-based articles; part of the reason I stick to sports is that more important figures require sources such as this. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 05:23, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  36. 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)[reply]
  37. 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)[reply]
  38. 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)[reply]
  39. 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)[reply]
  40. I do not have access at present; this would help me contribute to public policy and Middle East topics. Neotarf (talk) 18:59, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  41. 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)[reply]
  42. I do not have access to JSTOR. I work a lot on Victorian biographies, and have ODNB access: it would be helpful to supplement that with JSTOR access to follow up some of the citations in ODNB. Cusop Dingle (talk) 21:22, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  43. - I'm an autoreviewer on the English WIkipedia and I have written several articles relating to Military history and this is a topic that JSTOR could help me a lot with. I no longer have access to Credo Reference because I forgot my password and no longer have access to the email I used with Credo to retrieve it. --Ceradon talkcontribs 02:25, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  44. I do not have access to JSTOR, but from the bit and pieces I have seen I believe will help greatly improve wikipedia. For filling out articles and finding references for de-Orphaning, I've found getting refs quite often helps to fill out orphans and to find how they should be wiki linked to other articles. Blackash have a chat 06:36, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    JSTOR will improve the reliability of Wikipedia, and will provide ASTOR with free advertisement. User:Prosa100 User inactive. [2] Steven Walling (WMF) • talk 19:59, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  45. 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)
  46. 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)[reply]
  47. 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)[reply]
  48. 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)[reply]
  49. 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)[reply]
  50. 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]
  51. 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)[reply]
  52. 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)[reply]
  53. 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)[reply]
  54. 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)[reply]
  55. 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)[reply]
  56. 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)[reply]
  57. 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)[reply]
  58. 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)[reply]
  59. I like JSTOR's preview of page one of most articles but every fact I need to check is on page two. So access would be handy, but I'm also looking forward to the arrival of the arbiters of "need and merit" - that should be excellent fun. Yomanganitalk 15:56, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  60. 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)[reply]
  61. Editor since 2006 (50K edits, over 600 new pages) mostly working on history and other humanities subjects. Have good university library access but currently no JSTOR without a university email account.Dsp13 (talk) 09:36, 19 April 2012 (UTC) Have gained academic access in the interim.Dsp13 (talk) 22:12, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    Dsp has academic access but it's not complete, so I restored him in the list per email discussion with him. Steven Walling (WMF) • talk 19:59, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  62. 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.

  65. 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)
    No JSTOR access, around 4750 edits. Tomtomn00 (talk • contributions) 16:34, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  66. 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)[reply]
  67. I contribute to a number of historical and specialist articles that require access to academic sources, and this would be very useful.

  68. I contribute to middle east history articles and like to improve the quality of the references--Shrike (talk) 16:40, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  69. As a member of the Guild of Copy Editors, I frequently end up working on a very wide variety of articles, which quite often includes a lot of citation fixing, and confirmation, this would be an invaluable resource for many of the obscure articles I often find myself involved in. -- Despayre  tête-à-tête 17:42, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  70. 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)[reply]
  71. I wrote lots of GAs and FAs while I had access to JSTOR. Now that I don't, I try to soldier on, but the editing process is a lot harder. This would be highly appreciated! Lampman (talk) 05:32, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  72. 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)[reply]
  73. 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)[reply]
  74. I edit a wide range of pharmacology and medicine related articles but I am often stuck to having to rely on brief abstracts for adding content. Access to JSTOR would make my life a whole lot easier editing here on wikipedia. I would be most appreciative to be given access to this resource. :-)--Literaturegeek | T@1k? 11:27, 22 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  75. 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)[reply]
  76. 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)[reply]
  77. 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)[reply]
  78. 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)[reply]
  79. 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)[reply]
  80. It would be an excellent resource both for content reviewing and for some of my edits on medical and geopolitical topics. Nageh (talk) 16:13, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  81. For biographical and historical data. Thank you. — Ched :  ?  10:03, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  82. I would be very interested in this. While I currently have access through my university, I will loose this once I graduate which will be within few months. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 16:13, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
  83. 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)[reply]
  84. 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)[reply]
  85. 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)[reply]
  86. 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)[reply]
  87. 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)[reply]
  88. I focus on GA quality articles and access to JSTOR is very crucial in creating such article. Currently I get access through friends but it would be very convenient for me to have access directly so that I can do my own research without troubling my friends. Kanatonian (talk) 21:22, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  89. 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)[reply]
  90. 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)[reply]
  91. 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)[reply]
  92. A library account in my area does not include JSTOR access. I used already some older documents from JSTOR (free access) which are great resources as references, or to verify claims from others. I would improve my content work on WP if JSTOR access was available. Thanks, SchreyP (messages) 21:00, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  93. 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)[reply]

  95. 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)[reply]

  97. 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)[reply]

  99. 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)[reply]
  100. 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)[reply]
  101. 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)[reply]
  102. 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]
  103. JSTOR would be enormously useful for some of the older film articles that I have started working on, since it provides excellent analysis and lots of information that really improves the comprehensiveness of the article. I am not yet in any institution, and the one I am planning to join does not have access to JSTOR, so this would be really helpful to me. ~*~AnkitBhatt~*~ 10:53, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  104. Yes, please. No access to JSTOR through local library or institutions is available. Active editor with 23k edits. This would be a plus. Thanks. Best regards, Cindy(talk to me) 11:16, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  105. Absolutely - I have great difficulty finding sources at the moment for the topics I am most interested in. This would literally increase my editing rate by one and a half orders of magnitude. Egg Centric 11:20, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  106. 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)[reply]

  108. 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)[reply]
  109. 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)[reply]
  110. 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)[reply]
  111. 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)[reply]
  112. 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)[reply]
  113. 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)[reply]
  114. Interested, but only if everyone else on this list is given priority over me. I'd definitely appreciate the full access to this wealth of information. Bob the WikipediaN (talk • contribs) 16:22, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  115. 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). I don't know if JSTOR contains more journals that are relevant to my disciplines of interest. Hey, I'm honest. St John Chrysostom Δόξατω Θεώ 16:52, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  116. 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.

  117. 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)[reply]
  118. 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)[reply]
  119. If the number gets bumped up, I could really use JSTOR. After I got HighBeam access, JSTOR became one of the top bottlenecks for me in adding references to articles. Dori ☾Talk ⁘ Contribs☽ 00:09, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  120. 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)[reply]

  125. 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. The most recent occasion was today, while seeking to sort out the {{clarify me}} requested in this edit; eventually I found and added the doi for the relevant JSTOR page, but I can't actually read it myself.

  133. 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. JSTOR is almost indispensable for me - almost desperate for access.-RaviMy Tea Kadai 17:53, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  134. I've created around 500 artist bio articles (and referenced about as many unreferenced artist stubs) and use mostly online open access sources.

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.

I haven't found much up to date information on specific engineering breakthroughs aside from the usual articles on news websites. They're not specific enough and only give surface details. Google books is terrible. The information is usually 1-2 years out and again they only give surface details.

I've been an editor since 2006 and have created over 200 articles with ~70 DYK credits, some of which are about scientific/medical topics where JSTOR journal access would be very useful.

  243. 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'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 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.

  316. Newyorkbrad (talk · contribs) Active editor since 2006 (created 100+ pages; admin since 2007, arbitrator since 2008). As I wind down my arbitrator duties and return to more work on the content side, access would be extremely useful. (In the "requirements" section above, it states that applicants must be "active in medical content generation, research, and/or verification work." Medicine isn't one of my specialties or editing interests; can I take it from the other requests above that that requirement is no longer in force?)

  317. Pharos (talk · contribs) I would like to be able to help shore up historical and humanities topics that have weak coverage in free online sources. Let's dig into the weeds!--Pharos (talk) 00:35, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  318. Shyamal (talk · contribs) I need journal access for my contributions and have little access to good physical libraries. I also provide support to reference seekers at WP:RX. Shyamal (talk) 02:27, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  320. Gabrielthursday (talk · contribs) - I've been an editor since 2006. While my interests tend to be eclectic, I'd like to have access primarily in order to improve a number of early modern English history articles. Gabrielthursday (talk) 02:46, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  321. Ravpapa - Long-time editor. Most recent articles were Grosse Fuge and rewrite of Ronn Torossian. Recently lost my access to JSTOR through the university library because I didn't take any courses this year. It is an invaluable resource. --Ravpapa (talk) 03:14, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  322. Technical 13 (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email). I'm fairly well known as a templateFu/JavaScript guy, but I also spend a fair amount of time reviewing AfC drafts and being able to save some of the drafts I come across that are short a reference here or there using this resource would be a great benefit to the project. — {{U|Technical 13}} (e • t • c) 03:53, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  323. Zambelo - I'm primarily active in New Religious Movement-related articles, which suffer from a low amount of scholarly sources. I would improve these articles and increase neutrality by providing a greater range of quality references. Zambelo; talk 04:12, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  324. Dr.K. Access to JSTOR would be useful for improving existing articles which have JSTOR references but with only partial access to the source. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 07:02, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  325. Welsh - long term and frequent editor, mainly improving existing articles across the board, focussing on Wales, railways, redlinks and wikifying new articles. No previous access. welsh (talk) 07:14, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  327. Froaringus (talk · contribs) - I usually edit articles about the history and prehistory of Galicia/Spain/Western Europe. Access to JSTOR would allow me to improve many of those articles. --Froaringus (talk) 10:11, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  328. Iselilja (talk · contribs) 9000+ edits during the last two years, on Norwegian and English Wikipedia, c. 20-25 DYKs at the lattter. I write among things about politics and society where I mostly have relied on newspaper, magazine sources etc and it would be a huge benefit to have access to more academic sources. My contributions so far has been somewhat eclectic, going forward my intention is to become more focused in editing, writing more in-depth articles, and access to Jstor would be most helpful in that effort. Iselilja (talk) 10:29, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  329. Loginnigol (talk · contribs) - Active editor for a couple of years on English and Dutch language Wikipedia. Over 7000 page edits. Contribution in many subjects but particularly arts, science, religion, music and sports. From past experience I have come across JSTOR articles that I wanted to reference but was unable to because of lack of access, which is why I love this this opportunity to sign up. —Loginnigol (talk) 11:25, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  330. Testem (talk · contribs)I mostly edit pharmacology/medicine articles along with some chemistry ones. A lot of my edits are verification so this is not a high priority request. Testem (talk) 11:57, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  331. Richard Keatinge I seldom edit medical articles, but would find JSTOR access very useful for my historical (especially but not only Roman) areas of interest. Richard Keatinge (talk) 12:48, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  337. No JSTOR access. I'm highly active in dispute resolution (I work regularly at 3O, DRN, and am a member of the Mediation Committee) and access to good academic sources is invaluable in helping to resolve content disputes. —TransporterMan (TALK) 15:09, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  338. I've made more than 12,000 edits to 900 plus articles and created about 100 articles in less than 5 years. Subjects I've worked on include American Indians, French and Spanish explorers, missionaries in China, refugees, the Vietnam war, agriculture, and World War II. JSTOR would provide me with a wealth of source material for the articles I edit. Smallchief (talk 15:22, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  339. I have created over 12000 articles and 70,000 edits on Chinese wikipedia since 2008. I do not have JSTOR access. Much appreciated! --Walter Grassroot |talk 15:30, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  340. 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. I am interested in articles about politics, philosophy and computer science. If I am given access I will use it to refine language used in any such articles I come across (or any random article I might be searching where I feel the language isn't presented in a way that is comprehensible).Alans1977 (talk) 15:42, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  341. 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. I have partial access to Jstor through the University of Oslo (but only history articles, not political science ones, and its those I want...) --TIAYN (talk) 16:06, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  342. Active in the automotive field for many years. Newspaper archives would be extremely helpful. No JSTOR access. Thank you. BsBsBs (talk) 16:14, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  343. Active on WP for about two years with over 5000 edits, mostly in the field of classical music, particularly Baroque music, also the history of early Christianity and its clash with the authorities of the Roman empire, saints and martyrs. I have expanded and created numerous articles in these fields. I do not have access to JSTOR and have often wished I did as I have seen many references to articles that would have been very useful to the articles I was working on. Thanks Smeat75 (talk) 16:26, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  344. Moonriddengirl (talk · contribs) - mostly active in copyright cleanup, which does occasionally mean rebuilding articles that have been reduced or deleted for noncompliance. I would not wish to take precedence over a content builder, but could use this to help facilitate that work. Active 7+ years, 120,000+ edits, originated over 400 articles (some of them actually good. :)) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:57, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  345. I mostly write articles about local history these days, but edit articles on any topic I am interested in. I would want to be fairly low priority on this list, but if a spot opens up I'd love to have it. I'd participate on Resource Exchange if given an account. I'm not as active as some of the other editors here (100-200 edits/month). I try to do a fair amount of outreach these days too, and just a few days ago I had a new Wikipedian ask for my help in verfiying a paywalled source. This would help in those situations as well. Zell Faze (talk) 20:06, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  346. Editor for over nine years and with 39,000+ edits. JSTOR access would allow much greater scope for researching general medieval, medieval economics and medieval demographics articles. Ravenswing 21:13, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  347. FireflySixtySeven (talk · contribs) I am active in content creation; having access to more sources would be very useful when I write/translate articles. FireflySixtySeven (talk) 21:21, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  348. Fuhghettaboutit (talk · contribs) Been bouncing around about 9 years. I spend a lot of time hunting sources for my own work and on behalf of others, for origination, expansion and for verification and have had to make requests at WP:RX for material this would allow me to access directly. Approaching 80K edits (by X's counter) and just had my third featured article promoted. I do not have access to this database through my local library or otherwise.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 21:39, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  349. Already a few years on WP, also a few thousands of edits, mostly on French pages, I have no access to JSTOR (yet) but would definitely enjoy being able to use some of its great content in order to improve some science oriented articles I'm on. Xentyr (talk) 22:06, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  350. Jeremy112233 (talk · contribs) I've been a very active Wikipedian for two and a half years, with about 22,000 edits, and spend a great deal of time working on articles in the social sciences. JSTOR is a great resource for researching the reviews of artwork, historical articles, and the history of law in particular--something I spend much time on. I do not have access to JSTOR through any other means. It is an invaluable research in the areas I write about, and would truly be helpful in my research, especially in creating new articles (I have written nearly 500) or adding references to new articles written by others in the New Page Patrol queue so that they meet with Wikipedia rules (something I spend time on).

  353. Boson (talk · contribs) I do not have but frequently feel the need for JSTOR access when editing and verifying history articles. I see the above requirements currently state "You are active in medical content generation, research, and/or verification ". I presume this was erroneously copied from somewhere else. --Boson (talk) 00:33, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  354. Peacemaker67 (talk · contribs) I have over 28,000 edits in 2.5 years on WP, working mainly on content generation regarding WWII in Yugoslavia, including nine FAs and 25 GAs. I regularly post on WP:RX asking for access to journal articles for content generation, and JSTOR access would greatly enhance my ability to contribute to WP. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (send... over) 00:54, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  355. 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. I have an honors degree in psychology & in sociology & have managed a biophysics lab. Access would greatly increase the range & speed of my contributions.
