+{{cquote|I don't use Wikipedia often, but I started getting search results that led me to the site many years ago and, since then, it has become my trusted source of information when questions arise.
+Interestingly enough, until tonight I had never stopped to think that there is no advertisement on the site, and the thought of Wikipedia ceasing to exist hit me with a dose of anxiety. It's amazing how we can take things for granted and never think they could one day be gone.
+I know many people who use the site as much as, or more, than I do and trust the fund raising goals will be reached.
+In a world of CEOs, CFOs, and founders' insane pride and greed, I have to bow to the excellence of a man who only appears as the creator of such admirable work when he humbly posts a message appealing to us, users, to make donations in order to keep this a free and available service for all of us.
+Keep up the awesome work and Happy Holidays!}}

 {{cquote|I use Wikipedia every day.  If I need a quick answer or a detailed explanation, it seems there is always a Wikipedia entry on the subject.  I grew up with encyclopedias in the house - my father's 1937 World Book was almost a daily resource starting when I was seven years old.  My parents made the monthly payments for a 1961 Americana set when I was 11. It didn't have as many pictures as the World Book, but went into greater detail and filled in the history of the past 20+ years.
