Hey. Does the minimum of 500 edits criteria include contributions to foreign-language Wikipedia or just the English version? Just curious. OscarL 05:15, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
As my wiki account expired would you review my edits of thr Covino and Rich show project? Joshinwinnipeg ( talk) 19:27, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
Nikkimaria just curious, have we gone live with this yet? I got my approval on the 8th of October and responded the same day, but have gotten nothing further. Last time I had an e-mail glitch, so thought I'd better check. Thank you! SusunW ( talk) 14:52, 17 October 2015 (UTC)
@All: Apologies for the delay, I had thought the first round had gone out but based on the responses here this would not seem to be the case. I will follow up with Newspaperarchive on Monday and hopefully get logins sent out ASAP. Nikkimaria ( talk) 01:30, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
In addition to the stated requirements users need either Flash (for the jpeg version) or Adobe Acrobat (for the PDF version). If, like me, you don't (and won't) have flash, and use a different PDF viewer, then Newspaperarchive.com isn't for you.
It also surprised me that the Newspaperarchive.com account was set up with my real name rather than my wiki name. I've never mixed my wiki persona with the real world. I'm not going to mix them by creating clippings with my real name attached. Bazj ( talk) 12:01, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
Unforunately my account is not 6 months old yet so I can't apply for access. Can anybody who has access maybe help me please? I'm working on All Saints related articles. Thanks. Marshmallow Honey ( talk) 10:38, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
I read the main article on which I'm commenting, but in the section on clippings, it merely suggests that we make them, without explaining HOW. I examined all the items in the NewspaperArchive toolbar but didn't see anything that referenced clipping. Is this feature possibly not available when we view in JPG form? (I was having trouble getting articles to materialize promptly using PDF, so I switched to JPG viewer, and now it's not offering me the ability to switch back.)

Well, for some reason, I have run out of page views on Newspaperarchive as of last night, which is a major inconvenience. There is nothing on the website talking about the 100 page limit I was given. Is there an error somewhere? Mitch32( I can have oodles of charm when I want to.) 15:01, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
Am being told I can't save anything from Newspaperarchive-PNG or PDF because I don't have a paid account. Not understanding this as I received my confirmation email on November 2 2015. The only change I've made on my account there was to remove my real name from being publicly displayed. Would appreciate some help with this since I can't use it for citations, etc. as it stands now.

My sign-in just arrived via email. I can access and search newspaperarchive.com, but it won't let me open any of the search results. Same problem on both browsers I used, Firefox and IE. So, it's not browser specific. When I click on any search result, it goes to another screen,, and then that spinning thing in the middle of the page...spins...and spins...and spins...5 minutes, however long I'm willing to watch it spin. But it never shows the article. Please advise. — Maile ( talk) 20:39, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
The project page says "Clippings ... remain permanently open access, even when user accounts expire." In my experience this is not true. I let my Wikipedia Library access to newspaperarchive.com lapse last year. In December another editor pointed out that a clipping I had saved and cited now results in a 404 file-not-found error. The problem is not a temporary one, and affects every clipping I made, for example, from 1970 Bhola cyclone:

Here's a strange one. My newspaperarchive.com account seems to have expired. One of my clippings " Trego Water was the cause of W.P. Explosion" is now blank. However, if I go to my newspapersarchive.com profile page, then the Trego clipping is there on the lower left. Clicking on the Trego clipping on my profile page brings me back to " https://newspaperarchive.com/other-articles-clipping-apr-29-1912-23432/", which says "The page you requested was removed." My other clippings seem OK, I'm not sure what's up. My workaround was to clip the article with Wikipedia:Newspapers.com. Something seems broken with some clippings, but not others.

What's a good amount of time to wait for my account to come through? I completed the initial form on 15 February 2017 - that's over seven weeks ago. Just asking. Regards. The joy of all things ( talk) 20:37, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
I was told my account was ready in 2017 and I am still waiting for login credentials. This is my 4th time asking, each time my message is ignored by the person in charge of handing out credentials. Can someone please help me. This is getting ridiculous. -- RAN ( talk) 13:32, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
