#[[user|Tvoz]] - Renewal request. Editor since 2006, closing in on 26,000 edits. Edit interests include but not limited to political biographies; people and events of significance in the popular culture, particularly of the second half of the 20th century; jumping on suddenly high-traffic articles about such people who have recently died but their articles are not up to our standards -- detailed information often not available through the usual middle-of-the-night Google searches. I spend a lot of time fact-checking and doing research for these articles, and continued immediate access to academic books and journals would be extremely helpful.

- Jeremy112233 (talk · contribs). English Wikipedia editor since January 2012 with nearly 18,000 edits. Most of my attention is focused on content generation. All of my reference use full citation information, which helps users to verify the information I add to the encyclopedia even if they do not have access to the pay-site's articles. Most of my articles require a large amount of research as they deal with contemporary issues where the sources I need are often behind paywalls rather than available freely on Google's reference searches like Scholar or News. That said, they just changed the Google News search so the old Archive function is no longer available, providing even less good sources to create articles. My articles are largely on law, medical, or entertainment related people or firms, and Highbeam would make my articles better researched, and allow me to create articles on subjects I may otherwise not be able to. I do not currently have ready access to Questia through either a university or a library; I did a few years ago and found it extremely helpful.Jeremy112233 (talk) 16:49, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

- Neonorange (talk · contribs) I've been an active user over the past year, and have begun to add content to articles in three areas: American novelists, the American Civil Rights Movement, and the American anti-war movement. I have paid access to The New York Times, The Economist, and Foreign Affairs. Better access to research materials would greatly strengthen my ability to contribute well cited Wikipedia content. I worked as a journalist and documentarist for many years. I no longer have access to a broad range of research tools. Though I live in a major metropolitan area, my local library is very small, and I have no access to academic libraries. I've worked in more than 35 US states and more than 35 countries and territories.

When I come across something that is confusing or contradictory, I consult other editors with expertise in that area, but I would like to be able to check the literature myself.

- 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. Questia 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 Juche articles recently, but there are few sources out there who write about the topic. If I got access to Questia I could for instance access the article "North Korea: The Domain of the Juche Doctrine" or "North Korea's Race Problem: What I Learned in Eight Years Reading Propaganda from Inside the Hermit Kingdom" (I want to create an article entitled Racism in North Korea) ... Or, I'm currently writing the Ideology of the Communist Party of China, and I need access to sources (but most sources on Chinese ideology today comes from journals), access to Questia would make my work much easier - for instance, I'd love to read (among many others) the "The Three Represents Campaign: Reform the Party or Indoctrinate the Capitalists?" (It will be useful to the article, 100 percent sure)... I've made over 47,000 edits (over 31,000 main page edits) on Wikipedia, created 293 articles and I've been active since 2009. --TIAYN (talk) 07:17, 3 May 2014 (UTC) -

I am interested in history and politics, and these interests are reflected in my editing. Naturally, it is difficult to gain a wide variety of sources (particularly primary sources) in order to reference Wikipedia articles, and as a result I would find it useful to browse the Questia online library for sources.

- 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) 10:20, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

Edit interests include but not limited to political biographies; people and events of significance in the popular culture, particularly of the second half of the 20th century; jumping on suddenly high-traffic articles about such people who have recently died but their articles are not up to our standards -- detailed information often not available through the usual middle-of-the-night Google searches.
