Motivation

Primary motivation is to be able to link published works through this news outlet to authors as part of the Women in Red WikiProject. As above, digitally published works on this news outlet don't appear in other academic authority controls for published works - VIAF, ORCID etc. Zakhx150 (talk) 13:18, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support though I'd be surprised if many still-active Contribution contributors don't have ORCID's these days. ArthurPSmith (talk) 18:06, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support: profile pages are relatively detailed, and consistent with other contributor pages Vahurzpu (talk) 19:56, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
