{{cquote|I've used Wikipedia since basically, as long as I can remember. At least half my life. Wikipedia has not just been a site that I've visited occasionally for references. Since I have been introduced to it, Wikipedia has been an integral part of my seeing, feeling, and interpreting the world. I've witnessed Wikipedia being regarded by my middle school teachers as little more than an anecdotal barometric reading of the online popular opinion, to a more honest rendering of the world, comparable if not exceeding the integrity of Encyclopedia Britannica. |
|||
From being the source of the seeds of my research, to the polishing of popular culture repertoire; from my late night, inebriate internet staggerings, to my sober, technical referencing, Wikipedia has been a huge part of my life. |
|||
Obviously of great practical importance to me, Wikipedia also fulfills my ideas of how knowledge should be created, disseminated and shared. I cannot fully express how meaningful and promising the whole project has been, is, and will continue to be. |
|||
Although i am no philanthropist, nor do i have the means to be one, i hope my small contribution will assist in Wikipedia's mission. In the future, i hope to contribute more monetary and non-monetary resources to Wikipedia. |

Wikipedia and community: do not stray from your initial objectives.}} |
