{{cquote|As a schoolteacher, I am always researching information for myself and my students. A few years ago, many of my colleagues would tell their students they were not allowed to use Wikipedia as a source because it was never accurate. Being as stubborn as many of my students :) I decided to cross-check the information that I found on here with other sources. I could not understand why other teachers were so reticent about using your site as I felt as though I gleaned factual, concise information. |

Therefore, Wikipedia has become one of my first-choice go-to websites when my students ask me a question to which I do not automatically know the answer. Not only am I a teacher, but a life-long learner and I love learning new things from your website...every day!}} |

{{cquote|I am translating and trancribing my interview with my mother who is now deceased. She was born in Poland and had lived through the terrors of World War II. I found myself turning to Wikipedia for spellings and locations of the towns and villages where she had been. I found that the information contained in Wikipedia was consistent with her first hand accounts so I am very pleased with the accuracy of your information. Most of all, I was excited to find the entry on Chanza, the village where she was born, and even a picture. I regret that I did not find this picture while she was alive.}} |
