[edit]
  1. timmyshin (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I've created many articles on older Chinese films, and this reference book will be highly valuable to my edits: Marion, Donald J. (1997). The Chinese Filmography: The 2444 Feature Films Produced by Studios in the People's Republic of China from 1949 through 1995. McFarland & Company, Inc. ISBN 0-7864-0305-5. Timmyshin (talk) 04:52, 6 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Hnaluru (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I have been an active user and contributor of Wikipedia for more than a decade and as I started inching towards more content development, I began to look at sources, McFarland offers to provide such a platform and I am keen to be a part of this library. My interests include India, Archaeology, History, Science and Politics. Thanks for considering. Hnaluru (talk) 18:12, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Iazyges (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I have roughly 2000 edits, been around for almost two years, and am requesting access for electronic access to the history and military history books, I mainly edit on roman history, both military and regular.
  4. Coin945 (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) My specialty is educational video games, and I think this resource would be invaluable--Coin945 (talk) 12:46, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  5. Hmich176 (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I have been an editor on Wikipedia since December 2005. I have made over 9000 edits. I tend to focus on 20th Century history, although interests in that timeframe can stretch into the 19th and 21st centuries. After taking a look at the site, I believe there are a variety of sources in the collection which would be useful. --hmich176 00:24, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  6. The Bounder (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I'd like a PDF of Hermann Göring and the Nazi Art Collection: The Looting of Europe’s Art Treasures and Their Dispersal After World War II by Kenneth D. Alford (Print ISBN: 978-0-7864-6815-7; Ebook ISBN: 978-0-7864-8955-8). I hope to work on the Nazi Plunder and Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives program articles. I also think there may be enough material for a separate article Hermann Göring collection regarding his huge art collection. I fit the requirements, with the exception of the 6-month limit: I have been editing for a shade over five months (although I was previously active as an IP). All the best, The Bounder (talk) 16:35, 27 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  7. Smallchief (talk · contribs) I have been a Wikipedia editor for 6 years and have created more than 100 articles and edited 1,500. My interests include American Indian history and archaeology, conservation, the Vietnam War, and refugees. I've referenced several McFarland Books in articles and look forward to getting increased access to your publications. Smallchief (talk 10:32, 2 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Approved, filled

[edit]
  1. czar (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) prior games FA work includes Menacer, Mischief Makers; interested in Classic Home Video Games, 1972–1984, Classic Home Video Games, 1985–1988, Classic Home Video Games, 1989–1990 by Brett Weiss, The Video Games Guide by Matt Fox. PDF greatly preferred. czar ⨹ 17:34, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Approved Email received. The Interior (Talk) 17:45, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Sagaciousphil (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I often work on Scottish mythology articles so Encyclopedia of Fairies in World Folklore and Mythology by Theresa Bane would be very useful for continuing work in this area. PDF format is preferred. SagaciousPhil - Chat 20:47, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Approved - SagaciousPhil, can you email me at earleypat@hotmail.com so I have your address? (Wikipedia email doesn't allow attachments) Thanks, The Interior (Talk) 21:56, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Got your email, thanks. The Interior (Talk) 21:57, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Wizardman (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) Written FAs on many Baseball articles, which McFarland has a significant amount of sources in. To be honest, this more than any other resource opening would be the most beneficial to me, and I could probably use a lot of their sources. The first source that would be great to have is Deacon Bill McKechnie. He's a coach on the 48 Indians, my long-term project, and the book was actually on my to-get list down the road. Plus his article's in poor shape and with that I could turn it into an FA without much work. PDF ideally. There's other Indians and Hall of Fame bios i could use, but I'll of course go one at a time. Wizardman 05:41, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Approved - Wizardman, glad to hear you'll be using the books. Can I use the email you provided for JSTOR to send get you the PDF? The Interior (Talk) 07:17, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes, that same one will work. Wizardman 15:08, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Sturmvogel_66 (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I have nearly 500 GAs and over 50 FAs in military history. I'd be very interested in The B-45, The Silverplate Bombers, Tinclads in the Civil War and The Kaiser's Merchant Ships in World War I for starters. I prefer PDFs.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 18:00, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Approved - email received. The Interior (Talk) 19:49, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  5. NinjaRobotPirate (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I work mostly in the realm of low budget horror films. I would like access to Dendle's The Zombie Movie Encyclopedia and The Zombie Movie Encyclopedia, Volume 2, both of which are cited extensively at list of zombie films via incomplete Google Books access. Though I've only written one Good Article so far (Cult film), I've created around 100 articles. These resources would be invaluable in creating more articles and fleshing out the existing ones. I prefer PDF format. At some point, it would also be useful to have access to John Kenneth Muir's series of horror film criticism, as it would be helpful in pushing a few articles to GA. I was working on doing that for Phantasm and Phantasm II , but I got sidetracked by zombie films. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 22:15, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Approved - NinjaRobotPirate, don't forget to email me at earleypat@hotmail.com. (Awesome work on Cult film, btw.) The Interior (Talk) 03:40, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Got your email, thanks. The Interior (Talk) 02:34, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  6. hawkeye7 (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) Over 50,000 edits, 150 articles created, 9,000 pages edited, 40 featured and 184 good articles. Work mainly with biographical and military technology articles, for which this would be very handy. Hawkeye7 (talk) 20:46, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Approved - Hawkeye7, please see my note above for Muboshgu. The Interior (Talk) 19:55, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I would like access to The Enola Gay and the Smithsonian Institution, [Jungle Combat with the 112th Cavalry and [Missed Signals on the Western Front. Cheers. Hawkeye7 (talk) 22:46, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Hawkeye7, waiting on your email, thanks. The Interior (Talk) 19:14, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I regret that may not be possible. I have only got webmail access here, and my webmails are being swallowed by some filters. I have tried to send via gmail. Hawkeye7 (talk) 20:08, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Got it, in fact, got both (sorry about that, first one went to spam for some reason). I'll use the gmail, as it has good attachment size allowance. The Interior (Talk) 20:14, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  7. Bagumba (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) As creator of basketball article Showtime (basketball) and major contributor to Shaq–Kobe feud, access to The Los Angeles Lakers Encyclopedia would provide a resource for expansion. Also, having created Race and ethnicity in the NBA and being a major contributor to Jeremy Lin, Asian American Basketball would be another excellent resource for me. I would like PDF format.—Bagumba (talk) 22:07, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Approved, email received, thanks. The Interior (Talk) 19:14, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  8. Rikster2 (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) Creator and editor of basketball articles always looking for good historical sources. I have created over 400 articles, most of which are historical basketball players and coaches. Would like access to "Hoop Lore" and "Women College Basketball Coaches" in PDF format please. Rikster2 (talk) 01:06, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Approved - Rikster2, but don't forget to email me, thanks. The Interior (Talk) 19:14, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Done. Was something supposed to happen after that? Rikster2 (talk) 17:35, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    No, Rikster2, got your email. You're good to go. We're on McFarland's schedule from here, but shouldn't be too long. The Interior (Talk) 00:39, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  9. Ejgreen77 (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) Over 20,000 edits, over 200 articles created. I have a wide variety of interests, including, American football (The Original Buffalo Bills, The American Football League, College Football Stadiums), Baseball (The College World Series, The Washington Senators, 1901–1971), Olympic sport (Encyclopedia of International Games), and European history (Frederick the Great and the Seven Years’ War, 1756–1763, Nightmares of an East Prussian Childhood, Contagion in Prussia, 1831, Nazi Propaganda Films). I would prefer PDF format. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you. Ejgreen77 (talk) 01:38, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Approved - Email received. However, we're limiting to five titles per person at present, could you prioritize your requests, 1-5 for me? Best, The Interior (Talk) 19:14, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    1.) The College World Series 2.) Frederick the Great and the Seven Years’ War, 1756–1763 3.) Nightmares of an East Prussian Childhood 4.) The Original Buffalo Bills 5.) College Football Stadiums. Thanks. Ejgreen77 (talk) 00:28, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks, Ejgreen. The Interior (Talk) 09:17, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  10. ChrisGualtieri (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) - 440,000+ edits, 89 GAs and a bunch needing a few more sources to round out a dozen more. This would be of great help for Silent Films and Anime and Manga articles. Several of the Filmographies are so essential - particularly Braff and Blottner. Lower importance Wlaschin Shull and Kinnard PDF please. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 00:07, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Approved, ChrisGualtieri, and got your email. Thanks, The Interior (Talk) 00:37, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  11. SchroCat (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) 14 FAs, 26 FLs and 45 GAs. I'd like to initially start with three: James Bond and Popular Culture, The Signs of James Bond and Vivien Leigh if possible. Pdf preferred. Email sent, as requested. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 00:16, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Approved, SchroCat, and got your email. Thanks, The Interior (Talk) 00:41, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    The Interior, The first one came through today: many thanks for spearheading this - it's going to be very useful. Cheers - SchroCat (talk) 15:30, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  12. We hope (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) 42,000+ edits, here going on 5 years. FA Red Skelton GA Perry Como. Interested in the performing arts and locomotives in the US, among other things. Have wanted the Perry Como book for some time as I'd like to try for FA with the Perry Como article.Perry Como A Biography and Complete Career Record. I'd like PDF format. Thanks! We hope (talk) 00:19, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Approved, We hope, but I can't see an email from you in my inbox. Did you send? The Interior (Talk) 00:55, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I sent it the same day I added myself to the list-sent it to the gmail hotmail listed above. Shall I try again? We hope (talk) 00:58, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    , Sorry, yes it was there - found it. Sorry about the ping, you're good to go. The Interior (Talk) 01:09, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  13. ThaddeusB (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I'm a long time editor who has created several dozen sports biographies. I've sent you a list of 5 books I'd find useful to write more such bios via email. PDF preferred, thanks. --ThaddeusB (talk) 04:17, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Approved, ThaddeusB, and got your email. Thanks, The Interior (Talk) 00:55, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  14. Teblick (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I have been writing and editing for a little more than one year, with 43 pages created and more than 4,000 edits. My main area of interest is old-time radio, and I have selected books that would help me in that area (both in creating new pages and in improving existing pages). My request is for the following books in PDF format. In case all are not available, they are listed in decreasing order of preference. 1) Encyclopedia of American Radio, 1920–1960, 2d ed. (2014) by Luther F. Sies, 2) Radio Network Prime Time Programming, 1926–1967 (2008) by Mitchell E. Shapiro, 3) The Rise of Radio, from Marconi through the Golden Age (2006) by Alfred Balk, 4) Radio Stars: An Illustrated Biographical Dictionary of 953 Performers, 1920 through 1960 (2006) by Thomas A. DeLong, and 5) Radio Live! Television Live! Those Golden Days When Horses Were Coconuts (2003) by Robert L. Mott. I have also sent my request via email. Thanks!Eddie Blick (talk) 16:59, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Approved, Eddie, and got your email. Thanks, The Interior (Talk) 00:55, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you! I appreciate that, and I look forward to using the books. Eddie Blick (talk) 02:08, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  15. Paulscrawl (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) - I meet criteria and have already cited (from limited access via Google Books &/or Amazon) the few I want to start with, but need full access to do much, much more with these richly versatile resources: Email sent. PDF, please. Thank you! -- Paulscrawl (talk) 00:29, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Paulscrawl, Approved, email received (And I'll get a reply to you soon about the rest of your message. I'm about about five days or more behind on my emails, still catching up from holidays). The Interior (Talk) 01:06, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  16. Zigzig20s (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I have been editing Wikipedia for many years, creating and adding in-line referenced info to many articles. In this instance, I would find it extremely useful to have the PDFs of those seven books about polo. I have already read The Evolution of Polo as well as Polo in the US and Polo in Britain, but they are heavy books and I have had to get rid of them during my travels, so I can't use them again to find references. You will see some of my edits included in-line references from them, though (if you search "Horace Laffaye"; for example in this article I created, Perth Polo Club). If I had the PDFs of all those books, I could definitely improve and create more articles about polo players/tournaments/clubs, which is especially dire on Wikipedia. It's not always easy to find good references about polo online (Polo Times, which I created, does not have much info on their website for example), but these books are a goldmine. Thank you.Zigzig20s (talk) 13:01, 12 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Zigzig20s, you are good to go! Approved, and email received. Thanks, The Interior (Talk) 01:06, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  17. Wizardman (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I asked for one book previously, though after doing some more research I found two more I wish to request, so it'd bring me to three for the year: Ghosts in the Gallery at Cooperstown and More Ghosts in the Gallery. Being able to fix up multiple Hall of Famers articles and get them all to FA would really make Wikipedia a strong area for baseball. Wizardman 03:39, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Added to your request, Wizardman. Should go out in this round. The Interior (Talk) 09:17, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  18. Tokyogirl79 (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I most heavily edit articles about films and novels, predominantly (at least lately) ones about horror films. I would like to request a PDF of Film Out of Bounds (the main one I want), Slasher Films (I'm particularly interested in improving the Cherry Falls article), (http://www.mcfarlandbooks.com/book-2.php?id=978-0-7864-4216-4 Richard Matheson on Screen] (to improve the general articles, especially The Legend of Hell House), Horror Films of the 1980s and Japanese Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films (I've used the 1980s book before, but I'm interested in seeing if there are any films in here without articles or with poorly sourced articles that could be created/improved). I'm most interested in getting Film Out of Bounds and Horror Films of the 1980s, so out of all of the books those are the two that I particularly want since I know that I can use FOoB to continue to edit the Dante Tomaselli article and improve it (I had borrowed a copy from a local college but had to return it before I was really finished with it) and I would like to try to create/improve as many articles from the 1980s book as possible. I'll admit that I felt a little bit like a kid from a candy store looking at the list of horror books, to be honest. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 06:10, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Plus part of the reason I'd like to have these books as sources is that very often the main sources I have access to for horror articles are media outlets that talk about horror books and films in an entertainment aspect. It'd be nice to be able to give incoming readers a different side of these films, as very often they're dismissed as just "pulp". Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 06:13, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    ApprovedTokyogirl79, happy to get these titles to you. Can you email me at earleypat@hotmail.com so I have an address to send your titles to? The Interior (Talk) 19:55, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Got it, thanks. The Interior (Talk) 19:19, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  19. Imzadi1979 (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I have 25 FAs, 2 FLs, and over 200 GAs related to state highways in the US. Two titles by William Kaszynski: The American Highway (2012) [2000], and Route 66 (2013) [2003] plus The Automobile and American Life by John Heitmann (2009) and Asphalt and Politics: A History of the American Highway System by Thomas L. Karnes (2009) should be beneficial to additional articles in that subject area. Imzadi 1979 → 11:10, 28 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Approved, email received, thanks. The Interior (Talk) 19:55, 2 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  20. Karanacs (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I write articles about the history of Texas before 1845 and romance novels. I've had over a dozen FAs in these two topics, and I'm fairly giddy about this offer. I would love the following (in order of preference) in PDF format: 1) [1] The Texas Revolution and the U.S.–Mexican War (2014) by Paul Calore. 2) [2] The Formulas of Popular Fiction (2014) by Anna Faktorovich 3) [3] New Approaches to Popular Romance Fiction (2012), edited by Sarah S.G. Frantz and Eric Murphy Selinger. I'll hold my last two choices for after I've read these. Karanacs (talk) 19:57, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  21. El Matador (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) Editor since 2008 with circa 5,000 total edits, mostly in the Polish wikipedia. I'm currently imporoving articles in the pl.wiki about Thomas Hardy's film adaptations, especially about Far from the Madding Crowd. I'd like to improve soucing on en.wiki Hardy-related articles too. After reading excerpts of [4] via Google Books I think this book would be quite helpful for my efforts. PDF preferred. Thanks, El Matador (talk) 00:17, 16 March 2015 (UTC).[reply]
    Approved, and email received. Will send on to McFarland this week. The Interior (Talk) 17:40, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  22. Miyagawa (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I've been on enWiki for over six years now, with more than 43,000 edits. Over the past few years I've been specialising in Star Trek mostly and so there are four books I'd like to request from the McFarland library: Star Trek as Myth, Gender and Sexuality in Star Trek, The Literary Galaxy of Star Trek, The Influence of Star Trek on Television, Film and Culture. I've found these types of works I've got access to on Questia (although not these) have been vital in describing the themes represented by specific characters and television episodes. I also act as a bit of a resource depository for the Star Trek WikiProject as I often dip into other people's work to expand those articles with the additional sources I have and I would continue to do that with the addition of these four works. Would prefer PDFs. Miyagawa (talk) 23:05, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Approved, Miyagawa, can I send these on to the yahoo adress you supplied for BNA? The Interior (Talk) 17:47, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Yep, same address would be great. Miyagawa (talk) 20:00, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  23. MaxBrowne (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I am active on WikiProject Chess where I have created and actively worked on several articles about current and historic chess players, as well as aspects of chess theory. McFarland is noted for its material related to chess history. MaxBrowne (talk) 01:21, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Approved, Max, but I need to know specific titles, as this isn't a blanket access partnership. When you've decided, don't forget to email me at earleypat@hotmail.com so I have your address to mail the titles to. The Interior (Talk)
  24. Bobnorwal (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email)) I've been editing regularly since 2009 and have more than 3,500 edits. One of my main editing interests is Dr. Seuss-related articles. I brought The Cat in the Hat and And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street to GA status. I'd like access to Of Sneetches and Whos and the Good Dr. Seuss by Thomas Fensch and The Dr. Seuss Catalog by Richard Lindemann. I've used the Fensch book for Wikipedia articles before, but I don't own my own copy so I have to rely on the temporary loans of the library. I'd never heard of the catalog, but I'm sure it would be very helpful in my research, as it would give me a clearer idea of the full scope of info. that's out there about the good doctor. My plan is to eventually bring the main article up to GA, but I want to bring a few more articles about the key books (like Green Eggs and Ham) to GA, too. I'd prefer PDFs. Thanks! Bobnorwal (talk) 00:14, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Approved, Bobnorwal, and email received. Will send on to McFarland this week. The Interior (Talk) 17:40, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  25. Xb2u7Zjzc32 (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) New access. Interests: Music, Comedy, Women Studies; thus: The Annotated Marx Brothers, Graphic Details, Before They Were Belly Dancers, The Making of Stan Laurel, The Beatles Through Headphones, Neil Simon on Screen, Shaw and the Actresses Franchise League. I do a lot of reference verifying. I prefer PDF to read offline, but I would like to compare one title in both formats.~~ Xb2u7Zjzc32 (talk) 09:57, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Approved, Xb2u7Zjzc32, sorry for the long delay, titles will be on the way soon. The Interior (Talk) 00:09, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  26. Rhain1999 (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email). I have quite a few GAs and DYKs relating to video games (see here), and over 8700 contributions to the English Wikipedia. I'm mainly interested in The Meaning and Culture of Grand Theft Auto by Nate Garrelts, Classic Home Video Games, 1972–1984, Classic Home Video Games, 1985–1988, Classic Home Video Games, 1989–1999 by Brett Weiss, and The Video Games Guide by Matt Fox. I'd prefer PDF. Thanks! – Rhain1999 (talk to me) 09:26, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Approved, User:Rhain1999, again sorry for delays, titles are on to McFarland. The Interior (Talk) 00:09, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  27. Muboshgu (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) My one FA is Derek Jeter, and I have numerous GAs and DYKs on Baseball Hall of Famers. I set up User:Muboshgu/Baseball Mountain as a way to systematically improve the most important baseball biographies on Wikipedia. I think I'd prefer both formats: I read my Kindle daily but PDFs have page numbers readily accessible. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:53, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Approved - Muboshgu, but, as this isn't a "blanket access" thing, you'll need to request specific titles so I can pass them on to McFarland. See the "Process" section for instructions. The Interior (Talk) 19:55, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Gotcha. I'll pick a few out. – Muboshgu (talk) 14:27, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Here's a few. I'm a huge Yankees fan, as evidenced by my Jeter work and many others, so I'm interested in The Lean Years of the Yankees, 1965–1975. I also created List of baseball players who defected from Cuba, so I could use A History of Cuban Baseball, 1864–2006 to get that to FL status. I also like some older baseball, and am planning on expanding Bullet Joe Bush, so A’s Bad as It Gets: Connie Mack’s Pathetic Athletics of 1916 would be a help. I see there's a five book limit: should I pick out two others now or could I do that later? – Muboshgu (talk) 14:41, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Muboshgu, you can request further titles at your convenience. Don't forget to email me, so I have an address to mail your titles to. The Interior (Talk) 19:14, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Muboshgu, never got your email - you still want these? The Interior (Talk) 00:17, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Oh wow, totally spaced on that. – Muboshgu (talk) 05:07, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    No worries, got your email. They'll be on the way. The Interior (Talk) 19:56, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  28. Soetermans (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I joined Wikipedia over nine years ago and have over 15,000 edits, the bulk of which concern video games. I'm especially interested in video game addiction, video gaming and identity and general video game culture. EPUB format is fine. If I may be so bold, I would like to read the following titles: Digital Gameplay, My Avatar, My Self, The Pleasures of Computer Gaming and Game Addiction. --Soetermans. T / C 08:46, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Does the "email this user" not show up? I'll send you an email anyway. Thanks! --Soetermans. T / C 09:19, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Got your email, Soetermans, thanks. We don't use the Wikipedia email for this partnership as it doesn't allow attachments (and even for the EPUB requests, I need an address to give to McFarland staff who handle the codes). Best, The Interior (Talk) 15:13, 18 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am interested in book related with Netherlands East Indies, especially the pre World War II and during the Japanese occupation period (World War II), if available.--Rochelimit (talk) 14:03, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  30. Chuangzu (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I have been active editing on Wikipedia since 2006, my main area is Chinese Martial Arts and Taoism in China, in particular the history of the Lee style T'ai Chi and the author Chee Soo, I am also interested in the history of West Penwith in Cornwall, United Kingdom, where I live miles from the nearest University or Library which is why I conduct research using the internet.Chuangzu (talk) 18:28, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  31. Teblick (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I began editing on Wikipedia in January 2014. Since then I have created 53 articles and contributed several thousand edits. Initially, I concentrated on old-time radio programs and people, but I have begun to work articles about old-time television program and people, also. Many of the books McFarland offers would be valuable resources in both of these areas. I plan to continue to contribute in these areas, and I would appreciate having the requested books to provide additional information in my research. I need books in PDF format, please. My requests (in descending order of preference) are as follows:
    • Radio Programs, 1924–1984 by Vincent Terrace (1999), Ebook ISBN: 978-1-4766-0528-9
    • Encyclopedia of Television Shows, 1925 through 2010, 2d ed. by Vincent Terrace (2011) Ebook ISBN: 978-0-7864-8641-0
    • Radio Speakers by Jim Cox (2007) Ebook ISBN: 978-1-4766-0739-9
    • Radio Stars by Thomas A. DeLong (1996) Ebook ISBN: 978-1-4766-0763-4
    • Encyclopedia of Early Television Crime Fighters by Everett Aaker (2011/2006) Ebook ISBN: 978-1-4766-0636-1

  1. NealeFamily (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I have been editing for over 5 years and have particular interest in WWII in present day Malaysia, New Zealand, biographies, and automobiles. I have made some 13,000 edits to several thousand articles and created just over 60 new articles. Access to McFarland would be useful in expanding some of these.NealeFamily (talk) 01:59, 19 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Approved, NealeFamily, for this partnership, it's done through specific book requests. If you give me some title names, I can get them to you. The Interior (Talk) 21:31, 11 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  3. dirtyharry667 (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I don't know how many edits or contributions I have, but I have been a member for many years. I have written several articles and have helped clean up several others. My primary interests have to do with corporate history and retail history. My most recent contributions were the August Wagner Breweries page and I am in the process of reworking the Gamble-Skogmo page. Having access to these data bases would be very helpful in nailing down acquisitions and mergers and their dates. I am not familiar with this database so it will be interesting to see what kind of content it has. Thank you. dirtyharry667 (talk) 3:21, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
    You have a total of 790 edits, @Dirtyharry667: :) --Soetermans. T / C 08:46, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    At least twice as many; I wasn't as saavy about logging in until I got this invite. -- dirtyharry667 (talk) 08:46, 6 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
     Pending - dirtyharry667, I'm happy to approve you, as we have lower the requirement to 500 edits for this partnership. However, please follow the steps listed above - this is not a database, but a catalog of books that must be requested per title. Once you've figured out which items you want, email me the titles at earleypat@hotmail.com and I'll get McFarland to send them on. The Interior (Talk) 15:32, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Banej (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email)I have been editing on Wikipedia since 2009 and the bulk of my edits have been in present day Singapore, Video games, as well as companies and organisations.

  6. DaltonCastle (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I am a veteran editor with a wide range of topics I write about.

  7. Checkingfax (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I am a 6-year editor with over 8,000 edits and always needing access to more references especially from books. Also, as a Pending-Changes-Reviewer many edit requests in the queue are good edits but lacking good references. I work on a multitude of subjects. Check my history. How do I get my email address to you or can you harvest it from my username? You have my permission to do that. Thank you. {{u|Checkingfax}} {Talk} 09:22, 30 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  8. Coemgenus (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I've been edited for 10 years and many of the articles I write are about 19th-century American politics. McFarland publishes some reference work I often have a hard time finding, including United States Congressional elections, 1788–1997 and United States Gubernatorial Elections, 1861–1911. --Coemgenus (talk) 20:20, 17 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  9. Miyagawa (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) Over 7 years, with more than 49,000 edits. Majority of work is on pop culture, but I dabble in some random things on occasion. Previously had four books last June, and I'd like to request a fifth - Jeffrey Hunter [5]. Miyagawa (talk) 09:39, 14 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Miyagawa, Approved, will send this in today. The Interior (Talk) 15:50, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  10. Wizardman (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) - Found a couple more that I know I could use to continue working on articles: [6] and [7]. In both cases the book includes article I've already started work on so I know I'd get use out of them. Wizardman 20:05, 14 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Wizardman, Approved, will send this in today. The Interior (Talk) 15:50, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  11. NinjaRobotPirate (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email). I previously requested two e-books from McFarland in January 2015; they helped expand List of zombie films, which is primarily sourced to McFarland resources. I have recently expanded Hellraiser IV: Bloodline with The Hellraiser Films and their Legacy by Paul Kane, which was accessed through Google Books. I would like to expand the other films in the series. I prefer PDF format. I'll send an e-mail. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 07:48, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    NinjaRobotPirate, don't see an email from you, but I can use the address you used last time if that works ... The Interior (Talk) 05:46, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    That's frustrating. I sent it a while ago, so it should have arrived. Oh well. Yes, I have the same e-mail address, so you can use that. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 06:17, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    Yeah, sorry. It may have been cycled out of my spam folder, not sure what happened there. Anyhoo, request sent using the one from your last request. The Interior (Talk) 07:27, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  12. Cavarrone (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email). I created over three thousand articles about Italian topics, and expanded hundreds as well (a partial overview of my work is at User:Cavarrone/Articles). I would be interested in two books, possibly in PDF, Perverse Titillation: The Exploitation Cinema of Italy, Spain and France, 1960–1980 by Danny Shipka (Print ISBN: 978-0-7864-4888-3, Ebook ISBN: 978-0-7864-8609-0) and Italian Horror Film Directors by Louis Paul (Print ISBN: 978-0-7864-6113-4, Ebook ISBN: 978-0-7864-8749-3).

    Cavarrone, Approved, will get your request in to McFarland asap. The Interior (Talk) 05:45, 22 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  13. Teblick (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I began editing in January 2014. I have created more than 100 articles and added significantly to many more, with much of the material coming from books that I was fortunate to receive from McFarland in the past two years. Most of the articles that I have created contain one or more citations from McFarland books, and I have used those books in editing existing articles, as well. I am requesting the following titles (PDF, please) to provide additional information to help with my ongoing research and writing for Wikipedia: 1) Encyclopedia of Television Shows, 1925 through 2010, 2d ed. (2011) Vincent Terrace; 2) The Encyclopedia of Women in Radio, 1920–1960 (2012) Leora M. Sies and Luther F. Sies; 3) Radio Crime Fighters (2010) Jim Cox; 4) Music Radio (2011) Jim Cox; 5) Television Westerns (1998) Richard West. I have listed the titles in decreasing order of preference, in case all are not available. I appreciate your help. Eddie Blick (talk) 21:07, 1 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
