User:Sitush. I use British newspaper archives mostly for biographical and history articles and make regular use of my ability to access those for The Guardian and The Times that are available to me already via my local library. I recently took out a month's subscription to the BNA because it contains a vast selection of useful sources beyond those to which I already have access. Alas, I can't keep paying for it and so I've just grabbed items that are being incorporated into a new article about John Leigh, the first Medical Officer of Health in Manchester, and that might be useful for further expansion of William Beach Thomas. - Sitush (talk) 21:02, 19 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

User:Jeff5102. In eight years, I made over 7,400 edits on the English Wikipedia. There is a wide variety of topics I am busy with. My favourite topics are, among others, Russian History, Sports, academic journals, arts, music and politics. I would like to improve articles by searching for better citations, and expanding articles of politicians and historical figures who deserve a more detailed article.

I am a published researcher on Phineas Gage and have been working on that article for several years to bring it up to date with the most current research. Gage's case was widely reported in the popular press in the 19th c, and in the last 20 years we've had good luck tracking down reports of him in American papers and magazines. However, there's much still to be done with British publications. This is especially important because we believe there may be British advertisements for Gage's employer in Chile.

User:Trevj Being provided with access would be of assistance to me in adding sourced content to articles predominantly related to Britain, and also perhaps adding a more European viewpoint to worldwide topics. If granted access, I anticipate that initial use may focus on the history of computing in Britain. I also have a developing interest in local history, and would expect the archive to be useful in writing/improving entries relating to biographies or historical events.

Main areas of work on Wikipedia are historical, French culture and politics; for this latter I am especially interested in minor political parties, their members and supporters - previously an area that I researched academically. I am particularly keen to use contemporary reports of such parties/politicians. This area is rarely covered in detail in the press and to write/edit reliably on these topics would be much easier (and acceptable) with access to a wider range of sources.

Acabashi (talk · contribs) I had used British Library Newspapers at Colindale for research many times over the past six years, until it was incorporated into British Library Euston last September. Since the move I have found newspaper research more difficult because of increased time required in accessing documents at the BL, and travel inconvenience. This resource online should allow faster access, to help in particular with my place, church, and historic biog articles, dependent of course on how far they have gone in digitizing. Thanks.

Ad Orientem (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I have found BNA to be somewhat helpful in various projects, however, and to be honest, I have gotten a lot more mileage out of the Library of Congress online newspaper archive, which is also happily free. So while I would like to keep the BNA subscription, I don't want it to be at the expense of someone who has a stronger need. Please consider me if there are extra/unwanted subscriptions. Otherwise give mine to someone who will use it more extensively. Thanks... -Ad Orientem (talk) 22:30, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Tmol42 (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I have found access to the newspaper archive useful in adding more 'ephemeral' information to settlement articles that history books etc tend to pass by and occaisionally to biographies when filling in dates and events, obit details etc. Hopefully over the next 12 months the BNA will be further enhanced by more early 20th century editions. Thanks to all those at Wikipedia and BNA who have negotiated this facility. Tmol42 (talk) 23:42, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Billreid (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) Have more than 6000 edits mostly in article space but these have tailed off of late due to other influences but this will change in near future. I was the main editor on the article Morayshire Railway and need to complete a few blanks and hope the papers Aberdeen Journal, Elgin Courant, Elgin Courier and Inverness Courier can supply these. I have begun researching the article Inverness and Aberdeen Junction Railway with a view to expanding it and I think these newspapers and maybe some others would also be beneficial.

I'm currently working on the Bristol derby article, but at the moment I only have a single source for most of the information I'm adding and it would be useful to have some additional verification. — Gasheadsteve ^{Talk to me} 11:01, 9 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fuhghettaboutit (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I am a regular contributor, with about 87,000 edits (including deleted). I write on a variety of subjects: I've had 10 articles, predominantly written by me, achieve good status and 3 have been promoted as featured articles – with a few in the pipeline. I often use research access to help others with their writing efforts here, as well as to check sources for verification. I also spend quite a bit of time checking claimed and suspected copyright violations, which requires access to a diversity of sources. I have actually needed access to this database a few times to verify content and had to turn to the fine folks at WP:RX for secondary access.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 00:35, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
