1. Justlettersandnumbers (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email). Help! My subscription seems to have expired. I am well stuck without it, most particularly without GroveArt and GroveMusic, which I use constantly. Scholarship stream, please, and if possible also the Journals. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:28, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
2. Melly42 (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I'm very interested in Scholarship (in particular the Oxford dictionary of National Biography) and Oxford Journals (e.g. Molecular Biology and Evolution).--Melly42 (talk) 23:36, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
3. Ealdgyth (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) (Scholarship) Had access through this program, now lost, would like a renewal if possible. If I could get journals access also, that would be great because I'm constantly using English Historical Review (which I get through JSTOR but only up to a point - current issues would be wonderful) Several other Oxford journals in the humanities are of use also. Ealdgyth - Talk 12:48, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
4. Ylee (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I would appreciate Scholarship access (I already have access to JSTOR). I am active in many historical fields. Ylee (talk) 00:02, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
5. Miniapolis (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I'd like to renew Scholarship and Journals, since I verify and add citations. Thanks and all the best, Miniapolis 00:23, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
6. Aw1805 (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) (Scholarship access and Journals access requested) Edits and new article creation in English and Japanese Wikipedia, mainly focused on UK - Japan relations as well as Anglican Church, architecture, naval and industrial history. Prior access under this program to ODNB has been of great value; no current access through local library resources. Aw1805 (talk) 00:51, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
7. Peripatetic (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) Scholarship and journal access please. I've created over a thousand articles and would like to create many thousands more! Thanks. --Peripatetic (talk) 01:06, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
8. Tony1 (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email)—Grove D of Music would be very helpful. Tony (talk) 01:21, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
9. Gaijin (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I will be glad to have access to Scholarship and Journal. I created more than 1000 articles in Spanish wiki, and I want to keep that pace. --Gaijin (talk) 01:31, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
10. SMcCandlish (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) Access expired. I especially could use Journals (mostly I work on biology, anthropology, and linguistics material, as well as plenty of literature, history, and media studies). The Scholarship material have also been useful. I would not have much (or at least not frequent) use for the Law section.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼  01:34, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
11. Robert.Allen (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) My account expired. I am interested in renewing at the scholarship level. I had access to Oxford Music and Oxford Art and used both, often adding Oxford citations to Wikipedia articles and links to the Oxford articles. I am unfamiliar with the other databases, but imagine I will find them useful as well.
12. Seduisant (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) Editor since 2005, prior access was welcomed and appreciated. Requesting Scholarship access. Have written several biographical articles about artists, and improved several others, so Grove Art and DNB access (for general biographical work) would be extremely helpful. --Seduisant (talk) 02:00, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
13. PKM (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) and commons:Special:Contributions/PKM. access is about to expire. Would like Oxford Art and DNB to continue work on 16th century portraiture etc. in En, Wikidata, and Commons.
14. SarekOfVulcan (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) Scholarship, mostly for the Grove Music resources.
15. Carrite (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) - Scholarship mostly, for the National Biography material. I'd be interested in the journals stream also if you can't get to 100 — access to more sources is always better than no such access. I think I'm 60K edits, 40K to mainspace these days, definitely a content writer... Carrite (talk) 03:21, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
16. Xover (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) Oxford Scholarship Online and Journals would both be highly relevant for maintaining and verifying references, and creating and expanding articles, within the scope of WikiProject Shakespeare (e.g. my current long term project: Edmond Malone). --Xover (talk) 04:02, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
17. User:jefferyseow History and Economics/Business especially Penang, Malaya (now Malaysia), British East India Company, Colonial Britain etc. jefferyseow (talk) p.s. #Jefferyseow (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I edit entries related to 19th Century British Malaya (the Federated Malay States, Unfederated Malay States, and the Straits Settlements, especially Penang and Singapore). Sources are hard to find and access to this would help. jefferyseow (talk) 05:44, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
18. Rodomonte (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email), active in the German Wikipedia since 2006, > 6000 edits. I’m writing and editing articles on classical music with a focus on opera. Access to Grove Music Online (stream Scholarship) would be extremely useful for background research.--Rodomonte (talk) 06:12, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
19. Continua Evoluzione (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I edit mainly on the Italian Wikipedia, especially about ancient Greece. Access to Scholarship would be very useful, also to verify pages on different subjects; access to Journals would be very appreciated too (but that's my second choice), in case accounts were still available. Currently I have no access to OUP resources. Continua Evoluzione (talk) 06:32, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
20. Gripweed (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) Working in the fields of history, music and movies. More than 1,000 articles so far and still working. --Gripweed (talk) 07:35, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
21. Bmcln1 (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I'd like to renew my access to Scholarship, which I have used in the last year for making nine new pages (see User page) and expanding about 15 stubs. Journals would also be useful. With best wishes. Bmcln1 (talk) 07:56, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
22. Yoav Nachtailer (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) The Oxford Scholarship helped me to create several articles and to improve others, so I would like to renew my subscription. Thank you, Yoav Nachtailer (talk) 09:12, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
23. SchroCat (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) Scholarship access, please; my current account has expired. This has been invaluable to me this last year, and I've taken several articles to FA standard as a result. More are planned for this coming year. – SchroCat (talk) 09:53, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
24. Homoatrox (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) Over 20,000 edits and 13 FAs on Ancient Rome on ru-wiki. It would be great to have both Scholarship and Journals subscriptions, if possible. — Homoatrox (talk). 12:19, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
25. ca$e (talk · contribs), mostly active in german wikipedia, coordinating and contributing mostly in areas of philosophy and religious studies, >40.000 edits to date, OUP access would help gravely, as my university does not provide it (recopied from discussion page) Ca$e (talk) 13:39, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
