Having access to older newspaper archives on global news will help a lot with aspects of the events leading up to the invasion of Yugoslavia and during the war.

@Atsme: Most of the news covered by Keesings is major current events in the political, social, and scientific, post-1930. Based on your description and editing history: are you sure this would be of use to you? See description at jcsonline, Sadads (talk) 14:34, 5 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. Having a pool of quality resources will help expand my topic area. (sorry, I thought I responded to this question last year). Atsme☯^Consult 23:32, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dolovis - I am active in researching mostly biographical articles (sports bios and others) and am often looking for reliable sources to verify biographical information. Access to these resources would be extremely helpful. Dolovis (talk) 14:12, 20 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Dolovis:: I believe that the Kessing's material is more of global news events, so probably won't be focused on individual biographies. I can approve you if you think it will be of use (and I believe you can return the accounts). But if you won't use it, it would be best to roll that account on to someone else, Sadads (talk) 15:53, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I am often looking for information concerning international events such as the Olympics or World Championships, but I will not know how useful this service will be to my research until I use it. Dolovis (talk) 17:43, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Designate (talk · contribs) Active editor in politics and history. —Designate (talk) 17:03, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Designate: You more than qualify, however, looking at your editing history, you work mostly in 19th century American politicians. The database focuses on post 1930 global news topics. Could you confirm how and why you think this database would be of use for you? Sadads (talk) 15:53, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
That's been a recent focus, but I've worked quite a bit on contemporary politics and I've often relied on newspapers for sources. —Designate (talk) 22:46, 3 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
