Maestro Ivanković (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I am an active Wikipedian since January 2012, mostly on Croatian Wikipedia where I mainly write about music and musicians (please, see my user page and edit counter if you want to know a little more about me). The access to RIPM could certainly be very helpful to me regarding my future work on Wikipedia (globally). Thanks! Maestro Ivanković (talk) 02:01, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Konrad Stein (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) My special interest is the history and theory in music, literature and philosophy and I am working on these topics in the German WP and even more in German Wikisource.

Skyerise (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I'm working on several music articles which could benefit from access to material from the late-1930s to 1966, looking at continuing to develop Jack Pleis currently, but also am thinking about expansion of Karen Chandler and Carmen McRae.

Jonahman10 (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I am interested in a lot of different types of music, but am particularly interested in composers from the Nordic Countries, at least during the time period this resource seems to have data on.

@Jonahman10: Are you still interested in getting a RIPM account? -- haminoon (talk) 08:25, 9 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Haminoon: Yes, I am still interested in an account. There are still a lot of articles about Danish music that could use more information. I have also recently been doing a little work on Christmas related music, and have run into occasions where additional sources may be useful. Jonahman10 (talk) 21:40, 9 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Lfstevens (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) - I work as a copyeditor with an emphasis on technology and believe that access to these journals will enhance my work and contribute to the encyclopedia. I have 10k+ edits on WP. Cheers! Lfstevens (talk) 16:25, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Lfstevens: I see that you've applied to several resources with this same rationale, but some of those resources (particularly this one) aren't relevant to "an emphasis on technology". Can you please review your applications and specify why you think each particular resource will enhance your current work? Thanks, Nikkimaria (talk) 17:11, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
YborCityJohn (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email)) I would love to expand my work on Wikipedia to editing music related articles and having access to RIPM would help tremendously to provide with accurate information and references. YborCityJohn (talk) 02:42, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@YborCityJohn: I'm not seeing too much music-related editing so far - can you expand on your plans in that regard? Since we have so few of these accounts we want to make sure they will be well used. Nikkimaria (talk) 02:46, 14 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Nikkimaria: Would you like me to withdraw my application and work on editing some music articles first before I re-apply? Because I totally understand that you are limited on the number of account given to Wikipedia and you want to make sure that they are used. YborCityJohn (talk)
@YborCityJohn: Let's say you're on the waitlist for now, and if we have accounts left over we can reconsider. Nikkimaria (talk) 14:58, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Twindoors (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I recently started to add or translate some music articles within the frame of a volunteer collaboration with a National Library. I'm doing a PhD in musicology. I cannot be defined an 'expert' Wikipedia contributor, but I guess I can quickly learn (and I am very much interested into the whole project). My mother tongue is Italian, my French and English are good but need supervision, and I have a passive knowledge of Dutch. Twindoors (talk)
@Twindoors: I appreciate your enthusiasm, but given that you have fewer than 100 edits across all languages with this account, I think it would be helpful for you to gain a bit more Wikipedia experience first before applying for access. In the interim, I recommend using the Resource Exchange to seek specific sources you may need. Nikkimaria (talk) 15:36, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Nikkimaria:I understand your point. Thanks for the tip. I'll do! Twindoors (talk) 17:03, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not asking for access myself (most of my music-related edits are for genres past 1970). However, if there was a way to contact people on this list easily, and perhaps ask them to do research in particular areas (say, for example, I'm trying to expand on the history of music festivals in the 1920s, and there's little online research), that would be really wonderful. (a pointed version of Wikipedia:WikiProject_Resource_Exchange/Resource_Request)? I imagine these sources could also be really phenomenal at saving older pre-internet topics from afd deletions. Earflaps (talk) 19:11, 18 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Earflaps: The Resource Exchange is a really good option for this type of thing; you could also try posting to specific WikiProjects, such as Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Classical Music. Nikkimaria (talk) 01:14, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
unfortunately those resources are extremely unlikely to find helpful editors with this specific access, since there is limited access. is there no way we will be able to contact the editors with access in one place, to ask them for help? or is this service more to help individual specific editors? Earflaps (talk) 02:57, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I would say it would be more likely, since there are more editors with access than just those who applied through this program - for example, some will have access through a university. You could try posting on the talk page of this signup or asking editors directly (once they're granted access - logins haven't gone out yet), but I really think you'd have better luck at the broader and more widely watched venues.

Owlsmcgee (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I've requested access to a few databases for a variety of topic areas, but this collection would be very helpful as I expand articles about women in music, particular the underrepresented genre of riot grrrl and punk music. There's a widespread lack of reliable sourcing in these articles because of their popular interest, and I'd like to improve them. Though I'm at 398 edits as of today, they've had an impact: 5 new articles and large improvements to several others. I understand if you'd prefer me to wait for the next 100 edits, but access would be very helpful in improving the articles I'm already developing! Thanks. Owlsmcgee (talk) 07:35, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Owlsmcgee: You are not quite up to the minimum requirements yet. Have you looked at the RIPM website to see what journals they offer? I suspect this database may not be useful for the articles you plan to write as they mostly don't cover punk/riot grrl/indie rock. Have a good look at what they cover, and let me know if you are still interested when your edit count gets up a bit. -- haminoon (talk) 10:25, 10 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Voceditenore (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) Editing since 2006 with 92,248 edits (48,175 to article space) and 530 articles created, largely on operas and opera singers, librettists, composers, etc. The majority of those are from the 19th century or earlier and this database would be of enormous help. I don't have access to RIPM through a university or my local library. Hopefully, these accounts are still available. I completely missed the boat when they were first offered.

Justlettersandnumbers (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) This is a valuable resource which I would find useful for specific areas of research that go beyond what is in Grove. Music articles I've worked on or started include Add MS 29987, Óscar Esplá, Il Primo Libro delle Canzoni (with the entire section on instrumentation still waiting to be written) and, more recently, Franz Xaver Glöggl. Tobias Haslinger is among those I'm thinking of starting. I don't have alumnus access. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 23:51, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
