- #Lingzhi (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) Journal stream only, please. More than 40K edits under another user name; 6 FA's; onwiki for about 6 non-continuous years (started 9 years ago). Although I have a PhD, I live and work in a place with very limited access to English-language resources...Currently doing a total, top-to-bottom rewrite on the surprisingly inadequate article on Bengal famine of 1943 in my personal sandbox; shooting for FA in a month or so. After that will be scouting for new topics, perhaps with a humanitarian bent (still considering the extremely daunting topic of gender pay gap; came here because want to see "Occupational Feminization and Pay: Assessing Causal Dynamics Using 1950–2000 U.S. Census Data") ... Also help out with many friends on FA drives (seem to often be involved in painting/visual arts, but am open to any academic field). Lingzhi ♦ (talk) 02:49, 21 March 2016 (UTC)

- Davidbena (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I have been active on Wikipedia for 2 1/2 years, and have written nearly 20 articles, as well as contributed to many others (with more than 10,000 edits), mostly in the fields of historical-research, as also biographies on important personages, and on Jewish customs. I have the utmost respect for academic journals and the articles they contain, and always strive to cite reliable sources whenever writing about a given topic. Having access to this venue will greatly improve my ability to cite reliable sources and to help make Wikipedia a more credible knowledge base.Davidbena (talk) 14:07, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

- Applied psychology, arcane history, environmental sciences, mostly in English, with some in Polish and other languages, are the WP subjects that tickle my editorial fancy. Sometimes I lack "hard-core" sources to substantiate my left-field edits that I source from public access materials.
