Newspapers.com

In order to renew access, fill out an application at https://wikipedialibrary.wmflabs.org/partners/26/ . Make sure to indicate its a Renewal and include the email address which you use to sign into your Newspapers.com account (especially important if its different from your Wikimedia contact email). This will take about a week to process, and if you need a particular article in the meantime, you can probably get help at en:w:WP:REREQ. -- Netoholic @ 15:03, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

Thank you Netoholic, I will do that. I appreciate your help and speedy reply very much. Netherzone (talk) 21:47, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello again, @Netoholic: I seem to be unable to apply for a renewal, as the blue "APPLY" button does not work. I tried on both Safari and Firefox. I also tried using the "APPLY" link at top left, and that just takes me back to the list of all items, not to an application form. Is there another way to apply for a renewal?

Give it another try. I know parts of the website were down for a couple days. Seems to be working now though. -- Netoholic @ 09:48, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

Newspapers.com access is being restored

You are receiving this message because our records indicate that you used Newspapers.com via The Wikipedia Library in the past year. Newspapers.com has been affected by a number of technical issues over that time period, which most recently caused it not to work at all. If you aren't already familiar, further details can be found at T322916.

We're pleased to share that we have found a solution which will restore access to Newspapers.com's content! Newspapers.com have agreed to move back to our old method of granting access, whereby users must first register at Newspapers.com, then apply via The Wikipedia Library, and then accounts are upgraded to a subscribing one by Newspapers.com. We have updated Newspapers.com to accept applications in the library, so you can apply now!

This change is unfortunately mutually exclusive with the limited proxy-based access working, so any of the technical workarounds that have been discussed should no longer work, along with any proxy-based access to Newspapers.com. I hope you agree that this brief bump will be worth it in the long run.

As a reminder, this change means that you will need to renew your access on a yearly basis. If you have an email configured in The Wikipedia Library you should receive an email a few weeks before this expiry to remind you to submit an extension request, but brief yearly loss of access may be a side effect of this access method. The good news is that this access method means that you shouldn't encounter any technical problems besides normal operational problems on Newspapers.com's end, which should be few and resolved quickly - otherwise the website should work just as if you were a normal customer.

If you have any questions please ask them at this Meta announcement. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:40, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
