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]
