Wikipedia:Women Writers Online/Approved

1. Victoriaearle (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) - this would be very useful to access hard to find materials about women writers. I have about 50,000 edits, about 20 FAs, two of which are about women writers. It would be exciting to have access to this as a research resource. Thanks. Victoria (tk) 16:46, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

   @Victoriaearle: Approved Expect an email shortly with further details; note though that because you're the only applicant so far, processing might be delayed. Nikkimaria (talk) 15:36, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

2. Feuerrabe (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) - I'm interested in this for some women writer biographies I plan to write in German Wikipedia (Bathsua Makin being one). I have the required number of edits and I've written about 25 articles.--Feuerrabe (talk) 21:09, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

   @Feuerrabe: Approved Expect an email shortly with further details. Nikkimaria (talk) 16:19, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

1. Kevin Gorman (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) - though I can't specify exactly how I'll use any access since I'm not sure of the extent of their collection, most of the articles I've created have been bios of women authors, and much of the conceptual work I've supervised as part of the USEP has involved the same. There's no way I'd use this access as much as, say, jstor, but I can guarantee I'll make something neat come out of it :) Kevin Gorman (talk) 01:15, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

 Pending Hi Kevin Gorman! Your account is certainly active enough, and old enough, and I do see that you're working on a Women in Philosophy project. But your articles about women are about living women scholars; this database is texts by women published 1526-1850--not sure that's really relevant to your interests. Also noticed that you applied for more than a dozen subscriptions through the Wikipedia Library this week--that's not forbidden, but it does make us want to consider how best to distribute limited accounts. So I'd like to hear a little more about why you want one of the WWO accounts.Penny Richards (talk) 20:25, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi @Penny Richards: - the reason I've applied for as many as I have in as brief a time as I have is because for most of the last year I have been effectively unable to edit ENWP after suffering from severe septic shock, and have only recently gotten back to a point where I can actually reliably edit again. I had not previously applied for any TWL accounts, because I'd always had wide access to almost every conceivable resource, since I had affiliations with three major Universities that all had different sets of resources at the same time. Although most of the articles I've written have been about living scholars, my interests don't end there (my degree was in cultural geography, which at Berkeley pretty much means a mix of post-colonial theory and critical theory,) and besides for intending on articles on past authors and works, will in the pretty near future be supervising USEP classes doing the same (in a setup that unfortunately won't give me library or journal access.)

Approved Approved, with thanks for the further information; expect a Wikipedia email shortly. Penny Richards (talk) 00:52, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

1. Hmlarson (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) Will use primarily for finding older resources for wiki articles about women. Thank you. Hmlarson (talk) 18:00, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

Approved@Hmlarson:Expect a Wiki email soon.Penny Richards (talk) 23:23, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

1. Nattes à chat (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I am active in projects adressing the gender gap and publishing womens bio, therefore having access to this database would prove very useful to be able to source articles properly</nowiki>

 Pending@Nattes à chat: It looks like you're under 300 edits; you need a minimum of 500 for this resource. Ping me when you get there and then we can set this up for you.Penny Richards (talk) 23:23, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for getting in touch. In light of your 4000+ edits on French wikipedia, you're Approved approved. Expect a Wiki email soon.Penny Richards (talk) 23:50, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

1. Oluwa2Chainz (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) As an active member of Wiki Women in Red, I think having this access will further help my contribution towards adding women-related articles on Wikipedia. —Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 22:26, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

1. Cquoi (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) This access could help me to contribute to Wikipedia, particularly in the Project:Art+Féminism. --Cquoi (talk) 17:23, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

   @Cquoi: If you're still interested, please apply here. Nikkimaria (talk) 14:19, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
