  6. Sunnya343 (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I've been editing airport related articles and elevating a few to GA. I have found several HighBeam articles on lesser known airports such as Mysore and Holguín, but can only read a few lines of course. - ✈Sunnya343✈ (talk) 17:11, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

  7. Omni Flames (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I've been working on fried chicken for some time now, and got it up to GA status a couple of months ago. I think that HighBeam would be an invaluable resource for researching the topic, especially for finding sources to go in the history section, which is probably one of the sections which needs the most work in terms of references. Although I haven't really looked into it yet, I plan on working on chicken nugget after that, and I'd assume that there would be a few sources on HighBeam that would be useful for that as well. Additionally, I think that access would also be useful at WP:AFD, because I could use it to find more sources and possibly save some articles from deletion there.

  12. Shelbystripes (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) Have improved a number of articles, especially aviation-oriented ones. Academic resource access would be useful for improving many articles, as aviation incidents or accidents have been academically researched (meteorology: detection of microbursts; psychology: pilot behavior, cockpit resource management, etc.) and describing the knowledge gained in response to these incidents is important should be reflected.

  13. Vítor (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) I work a lot on referencing articles of all kinds (way more on soccer, honestly), and I rely a lot on archives, therefore HighBeam would be more helpful than ever.

  21. Alansohn (talk · contribs · central auth · count · email) As a firm believer in adding references to articles, I'm finding that fewer sources are available online and that there are many available at HighBeam, though often only a small portion of the articles are available without a subscription. The addition of these new sources will help me create, expand and references and allow readers to more easily trace back to the original source. Alansohn (talk) 15:54, 26 October 2016 (UTC)
