Hi @TLSuda: Part of our partnerships is agreeing to the TOC of their databases. Can you confirm that your picture work meets the ToC at their website. They don't claim PD items as copyrighted, but they do claim access and reuse restrictions, Sadads (talk) 17:00, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Sadads: I have no desire to violate their terms of service and primarily would be using the resource for souring images that have been obtained through other means. Many newspapers included are in the public domain and have been scanned from other sources and uploaded but it is hard for us to verify that information. Additionally, I have recently begun a project of working on some articles where the bulk of the sources are in older newspapers that would be useful to gather information from here.

John M Baker (talk · contribs) Access would be extremely useful to me for my work on articles about word and phrase origins. I've been an editor for several years and have done extensive work on articles such as jazz (word) and the whole nine yards. In addition, I am an active participant at Wikipedia:WikiProject Resource Exchange and share articles there with requesting editors. In my experience, while other editors often have access to journal databases such as JSTOR, few seem to have access to newspaper databases other than Highbeam. John M Baker (talk) 18:14, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hey @John M Baker: I am not following how you would use these newspapers as a source. If you are searching back in their database for "earliest" uses wouldn't that constitue WP:OR? Shouldn't we be using secondary or tertiary sources like the OED or Google Ngrams for that kind of work. Could I get a little more detail on how access would be useful for you?
While it's always best to use high-quality secondary sources such as the OED, there are not always current reliable sources to address word and phrase origins. Newspaper sources can be secondary sources in their own right, when better sources are not available, as they often provide information on word and phrase origins. In addition, early uses in newspapers and other media are acceptable as primary sources, although they must be used without interpretation. It would not, for example, be good practice to say "the earliest known use of X was in The New York Times on Y date," unless this fact is derived from a reliable source. Finally, and most importantly, it is valuable to be able to refer to the original sources that are cited by reliable sources. A famous example in the field is an article from 1913, "In Praise of 'Jazz,' a Futurist Word Which Has Just Joined the Language." In writing about jazz (word), naturally I wanted to be able to view and refer to that article (which happily had been reproduced elsewhere), although conclusions about it could be drawn only from secondary sources.

@Sadads: I am one of the leading editors/ mentors/ content advisers at ml.wikipedia and other Indic projects. (A review of my recent direct contributions may not reflect the effectiveness of my actual contributions as I am spending more time in mentoring and training students and new editors from local communities on focused content with authentic citations). As you may know, we are always short of genuine back references when it comes to detailed information on historic events as they unfolded. I have seen that newspapers, whether they are regional, national or international, have been of tremendous value and use when preparing to write / edit/ refine a serious Wikipedia article on history, especially that of countries of South Asia, South Africa and elsewhere. (For eg: India's freedom movement and personalities involved within that from various regions and cultures). Being able to access newspapers.com will be a powerful tool to overcome this problem.

I am fairly obsessive about citations for everything that I put on the page, and access to pre-Internet issues of US newspapers would greatly help me, both in adding new content and in coming up with citations for content added by others. — Ammodramus (talk) 02:51, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @HazelAB:, yes, one example is the uncertain story of the w:frr:Mary Celeste with three North Frisian sailors on board. A look into original newspapers of that time should help to get a clearer view on the 'real' story. Another example concerning a North Frisian sailor ist the mutiny on the ship Braganza in 1838 (no Wikipedia article yet). Up to now I've got little original material from the AAS, but it's very time consuming for the AAS-staff and much easier, if I could browse the newspapers myself. --Murma174 (talk) 21:30, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No. I really have no idea what article I'm going to be working on next until I start doing it. I tend to choose articles by hitting "random article" until I find something I think I can improve. I realize that's not a very organized way of approaching article editing and creations, but that's what I do. Articles I've worked on in the past where such access might have been helpful include Thomas M. Blackstock, Thomas M. and Bridget Blackstock House, Hayden Schilling, Clallam County Courthouse, and Vernon Jones. I'm also planning to get back to a partially-completed overhaul and expansion of an article on Alrutheus Ambush Taylor when I can get more information on him.

Psychonaut (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I've created hundreds of articles, many of which are biographies on relatively obscure 19th- and 20th-century figures for which old newspapers are a main source of information.

Dovid (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I have been editing WP for a decade and have over 2,000 edits. My editing interests are eclectic, but often include historical subjects from the 1600s through the 1900s. As an example of where access would be useful, I recently worked on articles relating to Hog Island (New York), and had to rely on tertiary sources, such as a recent newspaper account that itself referenced an inaccessible old newspaper account of a hurricane in the late 1800s. Having direct access to that source would make this sort of editing much easier, and allow direct reference to the original source instead of indirect referencing. It would also improve article depth and possibly accuracy. Older records are often less precise than those made today, and it is beneficial to have easy access to multiple contemporaneous sources.

AnthroMimus (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I had been working diligently on biographies of 20th century American figures, which have to be culled from Newspapers becaue there are no good biographies in book form. T see how I have done this, check out Stanley Steingut. I was half-way through Irwin Steingut and had to quit because my NYTimes account was not sufficient to finalize the project. (I had been using a database put together by an amateur, but it's search feature was insufficient and I could not spend the time going through thousands of hits the database produced.) If I had access to newspapers.com I oculd finish that, and begin on Brooklyn political boss John H. McCooey, Tammany Hall boss Jimmy Walker, NY Governor Hugh Carey and numerous others. You can see that my intent was to take stub or start class articles and flesh them out fully. Nespapers.com, I think, would be the perfect tool for that. Absent a good newspaper database, I have migrated away from such projects and am currently doing 20th century legal figures (which also could use the newspaper database). See, e.g. Archibald Cox and Donald Turner. For that project I desperately need another resource (HeinOnine) but the account coordinate there has not visited the application site since October.

Since that time have created two pages, Albert O. Vorse, Jr. and Cecil E. Harris, the former of which has multiple references to Newspapers.com even though I currently only have access to OCR scans of these documents that I find incidentally via Google. Greater access to the full columns and their verbiage—along with accompanying pictures—would go a long way in improving not only the referencing of existing/future articles, but would make research much smoother in the process. US Navy aces, even those with 15 or more credited kills, rarely have Wiki pages.

Lemongirl942 (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I usually work with sourcing Singapore related articles and since Singapore was a British colony, access to colonial era British newspapers would help me in researching facts. Applying for this as I just got to know that the British Newspaper Archive is no longer distributing accounts. My main work is often sourcing obscure facts about etymology and biographies which do not seem to be available anywhere else and this would be a useful research tool. I am also active at AfDs, so this can help me look up historical facts. Thank you. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 14:05, 20 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Lemongirl942: According to the resource description above Newspapers.com "is particularly suited for Wikipedia content about the 18th, 19th and the first 3⁄4 of the 20th century in the United States and global topics affecting the United States. The collection includes some major newspapers for limited periods (i.e., 50 years of the New York Times), but mostly consists of regional papers from the 1700s onward. Very few titles go beyond the late 1980s." The great majority of the content is regional US papers. Do you think it would be useful for your Singapore related articles? HazelAB (talk) 13:16, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hi HazelAB. Newspaper.com has historical newspapers from the Commonwealth countries as well, particularly Australia and England. A search for Singapore does show there is coverage. I require this specifically for colonial era information. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 13:53, 24 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Doug has newspapers.com access and has been finding things for me, but it'd be much easier if I could use it myself. We are working towards articles on John Plankinton House, a mansion refurbished in the 1860s, William Plankinton House, which John built for his son in the 1870s and was being discussed for preservation in the 1960s, William Plankinton (the name of John's son and his grandson, who inherited John's vast estate), and John Plankinton Statue, which is still on display and was recently restored. The access to historical materials from the Sydney Morning Herald (Australian newspaper) would also be useful for some of the materials relating to the Ensemble Theatre and its history and productions, which goes back into the 1950s. The article on Hayes Gordon needs expansion, and Sandra Bates AM and Mark Kilmurry (the Theatre's only two other artistic directors in its nearly-60 year history) are both notable and their biographies are missing. I have been a Wikipedian for a long time, have made over 12000 edits (all manual), 4630 in the last 12 months, and maintain an over-50%-of-edits-in-article-space-record. My DYK credits pages lists 49 article creations / expansions, successful nominations of 10 other articles, and other nominations in progress. I have written an FA (rhodocene) for which I have a Four Award (having taken it from a new article through DYK, GA, and FA), and developed the biography of Hans Freeman from a 604 byte unreferenced BLP stub of 66 words to a 25 843 byte GA of 1 391 words with 28 references.

Crash Underride (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I frequently help edit and expand or even create articles for current and former players in the National Football League, and as such many articles require newspapers, especially older players. I've helped get Kojo Aidoo to GA status (as well as a current GA nomination for T. T. Toliver. Newspaper access would help with the expansion of players from the Arena Football League massively as they usually weren't covered as much in college as players in the NFL. I have a user box at the bottom of my user page that lists every article and template I've created, as well as images I've uploaded for Wiki use.

A lot of articles are at risk of being AFDed for lack of RS or notability due to lack of sources currently available on the internet where a search of Newspapers.com shows a wealth of material to establish notability. Whilst this subject area meets with a lot of controversy due to some poor editing, I always hope to show there are a few "good eggs" out there committed to referencing these articles, I have just run short of tools to do so.

Zellfaze (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I've been working on local history related articles. Having access to older newspapers would help with that. Its on of the primary reasons I asked for a HighBeam account. I also help out on WP:RX where I can and would continue to do so. Please consider me a lower priority over other users though as I already requested and was granted Highbeam and Questia access. I've been an editor for over 6 years and have over 2,000 edits on English Wikipedia and over 4,000 edits across all Wikimedia projects. Zell Faze (talk) 13:12, 29 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Zellfaze: looking through your edit history, most of the articles that you have been expanding have been more contemporary than the database specializes in. Do you have a research agenda that would be well matched to this archive? Can you give examples of where you might use it? Sadads (talk) 17:00, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Sadads: I just recently ran an edit-a-thon on Frederick County History and I'd like to try to do a Wikipedia in Residency with my local historical society (who I have a good relationship with and helped me advertise the edit-a-thon even). As far as a list of articles I'd like to work on goes, there is a great list over at the page for the edit-a-thon. We barely scratched the surface of those articles (we worked on maybe 10 of them?). In particular the Everedy Bottle Capper Company, Frederick Seamless Hosiery Company, and the OxFibre Brush Company are likely notable and without articles. Further Frederick, Maryland also has a list of stub Historical sites, which I would love to do some work on. A recent article I worked on, Frederick Brewing Company made extensive use of newspaper references from the Baltimore Sun and the Frederick News Post (though in this case, articles on this topic were easy enough to find online). The article on Creagerstown, Maryland could use a little love, as could Lewistown, Maryland. In particular in the case of Lewistown, Maryland I would love to find more information about General John F. Reynolds' march through the town. I definitely have some plans, even if I haven't gotten around to working on all of them yet. Zell Faze (talk) 18:14, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I am more than happy to go on the wait-list if someone else needs an account more than me. I have access to Highbeam and Questia already. Plus I am part of my local historical society and have access the library's archives, so in some cases I can find older newspapers through those. Zell Faze (talk) 18:49, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Themightyquill: You are more than qualified, but looking through your recent edit history, you have been focusing largely on maintenance and AWB editing. Do you plan to return to content development? Do you have a research agenda? Could you describe that agenda?Sadads (talk) 17:00, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Sadads:. I can see that my recent edit history might look that way. I've slowed down from the content I was producing a few years ago, and the AWB/maintenance looks prominent because of the huge number of edits within minutes of each other, but I am nonetheless still interested in research... I just don't have the same access to research materials that I once did. One of Newspapers.com's strengths is access to newspapers from smaller communities across North America. I could use that to add historical content to numerous articles about numerous towns that lack such content. - TheMightyQuill (talk) 01:01, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I work mostly in literature, but am increasingly doing work in historical sites. In part, I want to help with cleanup on student work as part of a Public history class I supported in short assignment. In part, I am moving to Vermont in a few months, and have plenty of interest in dabbling in local history to get to know the region. I also, frequently support editathons, etc, where clippings would be a huge boon, Sadads (talk) 03:14, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Buffaboy (talk · contribs · count) Since my university's subscription-based content is pretty thin, Newspapers.com would be an essential tool for me when developing place based articles relating to New York State, its cities, and U.S. Cities in general. I recognize I am not as experienced as other editors who have applied here, and I also recognize I've only ramped up activity over about a year (here since 2010 however). With Newspapers.com however, I can cite material faster than having to jump over paywalls or find alternative sources regarding news articles on some subjects I can't find in books and journals. Thanks a lot. Buffaboy ^talk 05:55, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Pending Hi @Ca$e: Most of the contents, other than 50 years of the New York Times, are local US papers, and there is very little coverage after the 1980s. As the description at the top of this page says, this resource is best "suited for Wikipedia content about the 18th, 19th and the first 3⁄4 of the 20th century in the United States and global topics affecting the United States". It doesn't seem all that relevant to the areas of interest you mention. Is there a particular research project you are contemplating, for which you would need access to older local US papers? HazelAB (talk) 14:08, 8 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
To give you just 2 examples: Among my areas of my work are the classics of american pragmatist philosophy. Newspapers.com hosts thousands of references to these classics. Another broad area of my work are religious movements, including e.g. evangelical movements. Newspapers.com hosts hundreds of thousands of articles in this regard.
