Editor of top-500 article English language, for which I would have loved to have more access to Cambridge journals as we collaborating editors won the Million Award in 2015 for bringing that article to good article status. I think it's time now to bring that article up to featured article status, and the Cambridge journals will help. I've also won the Million Award for bringing IQ classification to good article status, and that article and many related articles about psychology are due for improvement now that I could help bring about with the expanded journal access. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (Watch my talk, How I edit) 23:34, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
