1. Andreas Philopater (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I registered in 2009 and have about 5000 edits on the account, with over 300 articles created from scratch. For the last year or so I've mostly been working on articles relating to the history and heritage of the Benelux countries (especially medieval and early modern Belgium). The Brill resources would be fantastically useful for this, and I do not have alternative access to them. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 13:05, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
2. RolandR (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I am an experienced editor, with a particular interest in Middle East-related t6opics. Brill would provide access to mauch otherwise unobtainable material. RolandR (talk) 13:58, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
3. Sabrebd (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I am an experienced editor particularly on historical topics. Brill would provide me with access to a wide variety of materials that would help with the writing and improvement of future articles.--SabreBD (talk) 18:49, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
4. Athenean (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I have 20k edits, with several GAs under my belt. I frequently edit history topics, and access to Brill would be hugely useful to me. Athenean (talk) 17:35, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
5. Alexis Ivanov (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I have made 800+ contribution in Wikipedia and growing. I specialize in Ottoman history mainly. I would love to have an access to Brill's online library and contribute in Wikipedia more. Alexis Ivanov (talk) 02:20, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
6. Happytravels (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) Brill is a great source, but it books are too expensive for an extensive study. A free account would be very helpful. For me for historic topics. Happytravels (talk) 07:24, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
7. Elie plus (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) My editing is suffering from the lack of resources in my home country. I am completely helpless as access to all major university libraries is restricted. LAU has access to only a small number of works. I work on articles relating to Levantine history, archeology and select topics that have to do with Lebanon. Access to Brill will give me the means to come back to Wikipedia and drive articles we work on to FA status. -Elias Z 09:08, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
8. Keahapana (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) Brill publications have traditionally been strong in Asian Studies, which is the field in which I make most of my WP contributions. Access to Brill resources would be very helpful. Thanks for your consideration. Keahapana (talk) 22:40, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
9. Mehdi ghaed (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email):I work in project like Islam,military and philosophy. nearly Brill publication in all subjects particularly before mentioned, has great sources which very useful and applicable.--m,sharaf (talk) 20:11, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
10. fuhghettaboutit (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I am a regular contributor, with about 87,000 edits (including deleted). I write on a variety of subjects: I've had 10 articles, predominantly written by me, achieve good status and 3 have been promoted as featured articles – with a few in the pipeline. I often use research access to help others with their writing efforts here, as well as to check sources for verification. I also spend quite a bit of time checking claimed and suspected copyright violations, which requires access to a diversity of sources.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 23:40, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
11. Mhhossein (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I've done some pages and promoted some of them to GA. I'm actively editing Islam related articles and also try to edit political ones. Having access to Brill's online library will let me do the editing much better. Mhhossein (talk) 05:51, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
