{{cquote|I never knew what Wikipedia was at first. It was some website with some unknown purpose to my knowledge, and I shoved it aside as a useless resource, that could not help me. Soon, I found links regarding Wikipedia, and I was intrigued. What was this mysterious website which appeared frequently in search results, yielding a full article of glorious cited information on the topic at mind? After that, I used, and continue to use, the Wikipedia Encyclopedia. From information on bands, to summary's on my favorite books. Wikipedia was there to help out, and I was thrilled to contribute to this (almost) limitless fountain of knowledge compiled by earnest volunteers. |

So this year, in lieu of the giving holidays, I want to thank Wikipedia again, for being there for me when I needed to know something, even if at random. My donation may be small, but It goes with hopes that others would understand its importance in helping them, and do the same. Thanks, Jimmy Wales, and a big thank you especially to the Wikimedia foundation as a whole. Knowledge is a gift. Why not share it for free in an environment clear of bothersome advertising?}} |

{{cquote| I am a senior in good health. I deliver meals to seniors that are not. Many of the questions that I get on my rounds I can answer with the help of Wikipedia. Especially when it comes to health and medicines, wikipedia.org has become my trusted reference source. Sorting out the difference between scams and valid claims is vital in aquiring food supplements and/or OTC medicines. |
