Wikipedia:HeinOnline/Approved


 * 1) Thanks to editor Nikkimaria for letting us know that this resources is newly available. I have legal research experience but no current access to most of the HeinOnline materials, and having access will help me fill out legal details in articles psychology and education that I edit most often. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 22:39, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

 * 1)  I'm a frequent editor in the field of intellectual property law. IPR issues are known to have a major international edge, and comparative takes are often mandated to provide a full picture of a given topic. HeinOnline provides access to various international and U.S. journals, which will be beneficial to my article work. As examples, I've written the article on the “freedom of panorama,” the three-step test in international copyright treaties (both of which referencing multiple articles available through HeinOnline), and I'm currently writing on the right to broadcast. I'm an administrator on dewiki, an OTRS admin, and have made more than 18,000 edits to dewiki. — Pajz (talk) 00:20, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

 * 1)  I am a frequent editor of law-related articles, especially in the area of intellectual property, constitutional law and the U.S. Supreme Court; as well as law-related biographies.  I've been stymied in the past in my research, finding an article available only on HeinOnline, but not having access, being unable to use it. I've originated a number of articles from scratch that are examples of the above, including Compendium of U.S. Copyright Office Practices, Rocket docket, Presidential Recordings and Materials Preservation Act, Supreme Court Case Selections Act, Stabilization Act of 1942, Copeland "Anti-kickback" Act and Henry P. Chandler.  Those are some of the articles I've started; I've edited many more.  TJRC (talk) 01:28, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

 * 1)  I do a lot of editing to law topics, and have used Hein in the past for a lot of things on Wikipedia. My access (via a University) recently expired, so this is perfect for me. Between bar journals, old statute books, and just about the broadest collection of law journals, I can't even begin to list the uses I'd have for Hein in writing Wikipedia articles. —/M endaliv /2¢/Δ's/ 10:16, 5 May 2015 (UTC)

 * 1) A seven-year veteran, I am the main contributor to four FAs and 37 GAs. I have written about legal/social/governmental topics such as black genocide, World's Congress of Representative Women, National Women's Rights Convention, Iran Constituent Assembly, 1949, Desegregation in the United States Marine Corps, National Day of Prayer and draft-card burning. A matter of continuing interest are the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In many tangential topics and biographies, a legal matter is part of the story to tell, and access to HeinOnline would greatly assist in fleshing out that aspect.

 * 1)  I've been editing since 2006, primarily in the areas of word and phrase origins and finance and investment.  The latter is both an area in which Wikipedia is not particularly strong, and one in which HeinOnlein resources would be quite useful.  I am also active on the Wikipedia Resource Exchange and regularly share resources there with other editors.  Although I have access to several other databases, I do not have access to HeinOnlein.

I have also written tens of articles related to the legal cases of same-sex marriage (see some of them: 1, 2, 3, ...) almost all of them are written by using free sources.

I have contributed dozens of new articles related to IP law and administrative law (e.g. Hubbard v Vosper, Euro-Excellence Inc v Kraft Canada Inc), as well as helping to clean up many more. Access would help improve some currently un-tended to areas of WikiProject Law and Canadian Law. I used to have access to HeinOnline but not anymore. --Unavoidable (talk) 01:32, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

I have contributed at Wikimedia Foundation v. NSA, Google Spain v AEPD and Mario Costeja González, and Perinçek v. Switzerland. I also started Deborah H.

 * 1)  I translate a lot of articles from English to French, and a lot of thoses are related to law. Although, often times the original article in English doesn't have enough references so I don't translate it, I would use access to add sources to both original English article and my translation in French.

 * 1) ) I edit election and geography articles.  These are often intertwined with law.  For example, Green Lake (Texas) required case law for its history (which is incomplete since I had to resort to G-books).  Many election-related articles concern ballot access lawsuits.  I plan to expand Virgil Goode presidential campaign, 2012 with such information.--William S. Saturn (talk) 06:11, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

 * 1) In the past several years, I've contributed articles on historically important American lawyers and judges, including George Wythe, Edmund Pendleton and George Wharton Pepper. Other articles (such as Benjamin Tappan and Spencer Roane), while partially improved, stall in part because my only other access to HeinOnline requires driving to the Library of Congress, which is also surrounded by a two-hour or shorter parking zone. Access would help improve minimally tended areas of legal and historical interest.Jweaver28 (talk) 18:58, 9 May 2015 (UTC)

Turner and Archibald Cox (although neither are yet complete). I have finished Stanley Steingut and plan a number of other politician lawyers (such as Hugh Carey) in the near future.

 * Do you plan to use HeinOnline for just this one high court case or do you plan to use it to expand other articles as well? -Thibbs (talk) 17:36, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I am concentrating on this particular page at the moment, I have no fixed plans for my next contribution at the moment. I tend to browse articles and update or create new ones when I feel it's appropriate rather than plan out a particular course. I intend to use this resource for future contributions.Chuangzu (talk) 11:19, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Due to the limited number of available accounts, and the general nature of the need for this resource, it is best if we revisit this application later if there are accounts left over. Regarding the London high court case, it may be a good idea to ask at WP:RX if you have any specific sources that you need. -Thibbs (talk) 03:41, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Yes please, I am still interested.Chuangzu (talk) 19:43, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
 * And just to be clear, is your reason still the same? Are you still intending to use this access to expand the Chee Soo article or do you have another article or topic area that you intend to expand/benefit? -Thibbs (talk) 01:51, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes primarily the Chee Soo and Chang Ming articles. However I tend to work in a spontaneous way which means one investigation tends to lead me to work on other pages.

 * I'm expecting my contribution rate to increase substantially over the next year. I anticipate adding quality reference sources to law-related articles through HeinOnline. I saw the requirements for this resource, and realized that I met them, so I figured I'd apply.

 * Sorry for the delay, ! Your editing history looks good, but the 20th Century is a very broad topic area. Can you explain how this particular resource will be helpful to you? -Thibbs (talk) 04:35, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Sure. For example, I've recently been doing research on European companies that were building amusement rides and transportation systems in the United States and Canada in the 1970s and 1980s. After looking through the list of libraries HeinOnline has, I believe there would be useful information in their collection for me to use for citations. -- hmich 176 18:12, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Would this access be used for just this one project or do you think you might use it for future projects as well? The reason I ask is that for one-time needs (e.g. for situations where you would be interested in access to only a few items from a database), the TWL Resource Request might be a better venue for the request. We can certainly arrange to get you access to the HeinOnline database, but do you believe you would make use of it after obtaining the documents specific to the amusement rides and transportation systems? -Thibbs (talk) 12:33, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, I certainly would make use of this resource beyond that particular subject. It would definitely assist in contributing to other legal related articles and subjects, which I have an interest in contributing. -- hmich 176 20:08, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

Is the intention to copy documents from HeinOnline to WikiSource or are you planning to use access to provide original content at WikiSource? -Thibbs (talk) 01:18, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I didn't mean to say that I intended to copy documents from HeinOnline onto Wikisource. That would be copyvio.  Instead, I intend to continue uploading legal documents (actual, real statutes and regulatory instruments) on to Wikisource, and supplement that effort with producing some content for Wikipedia (wherever I can find suitable sources, e.g. on JSTOR and HeinOnline) and Wikibooks.  —  Nearly Headless Nick   {c}  06:32, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
 * OK that sounds good. The Terms of Use for HeinOnline can be found here. They apply to copyrighted materials like law review articles and to public domain documents like statutes. Taking this into consideration, do you think that you would be able to make use of HeinOnline at WikiSource in a manner consistent with their user rules? -Thibbs (talk) 11:53, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
