  1. Paulscrawl (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email)) Wikipedia Library Research coordinator and frequent helper on Research Desk (lately busy on another project, just completed and ready to renew 11-year WP commitment). The various handbooks and companions on every subject under the sun published by Cambridge University Press would help me provide authoritative references posed on Research Desks, congruent with my long-term goal of mining archived Research Desk answers for sourced content to improve WP articles lacking such answers and reliable sources. Thank you. -- Paulscrawl (talk) 21:15, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Darafsh (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I need Historical journals to improve articles about Iranian studies. Darafsh Kaviyani (Talk) 21:18, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Continua Evoluzione (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I edit mainly on the Italian Wikipedia, especially articles about history of ancient Greece and ancient Greek people. Thanks to the TWL resources I've been able to improve several articles on this matter and I think I'd find the Cambridge journals and ebooks on Classical studies very useful.

  4. Maile66 (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email)) I've been here 9 years, with over 50,000 edits on Wikipedia, 89,068 if you count Commons and all the other sites I've edited on. I deal in a lot of historical articles, biographies and otherwise. I'm active in United States and European histories, women's histories, and also do reviews on DYK, GA, FL, FA. Cambridge University Press would be a great help to my various efforts on Wikipedia. — Maile (talk) 21:46, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  7. Justlettersandnumbers (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) This is the pay-wall I hit most often; access would be invaluable both for content creation and for copyright clean-up work.

  8. Ealdgyth (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) Cambridge has many journals I find useful for my work with medieval history or horse history. Taking care of my elderly mother, I no longer am able to drive the close to two hours to get to the nearest university library with access to Cambridge's journals. I mainly work with medieval ecclesiastical history, but also work on secular biographies of the time period and other medieval topics. Over 100 GAs, over 50 FAs I've worked on. Ealdgyth - Talk 23:37, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  9. RolandR (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email)) CUP has many otherwise unavailable books and journals which I would find useful in editing content related particularly to the Middle East. RolandR (talk) 23:49, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  12. Lingzhi (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) More than 40K edits under another user name; 6 FA's; onwiki for about 6 non-continuous years (started 9 years ago). Although I have a PhD, I live and work in a place with very limited access to English-language resources...Currently doing a total, top-to-bottom rewrite on the surprisingly inadequate article on Bengal famine of 1943 in my personal sandbox; shooting for FA in a month or so. After that will be scouting for new topics, perhaps with a humanitarian bent... Also help out with many friends on FA drives (seem to often be involved in painting/visual arts, but am open to any academic field).  Lingzhi ♦ (talk) 00:56, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  13. Signedzzz (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) CUP books and journals would massively help my editing in several areas, especially Renaissance philosophy, modern and ancient history, astronomy and marine biology. zzz (talk) 01:47, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  17. Mendaliv (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I've just skimmed their catalog, and I'm practically drooling over the prospect of using CUP book and journal sources to flesh out law articles, especially international law articles. I think my contribs history speaks for itself. —/Mendaliv/2¢/Δ's/ 02:58, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  18. K.e.coffman (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) – I am interested in improving Wikipedia content on World War II history, specifically as it relates to the Eastern Front and the personalities of Nazi Germany.

  23. Meloe (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I´m editing mostly in biological and ecological articles and some Cambridge journals such as Canadian Entomologist, Environmental Conservation and Bulletin of Entomological Research are useful sources for my work (since the 25 aren´t full yet ...).--Meloe (talk) 08:34, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
