+{{cquote|Being a foreign student in the U.S, I found that lots of social norms and historical contexts present hug obstacles to my study and my life here. The classmates were nice to explain things to me, but you cannot bother them all the time. It was from Wikipedia I found all the information I need AND moreover, it was my help to adjust to the new life in the U.S.
+Now I am working and I still rely on Wiki a lot to learn new knowledge. It is a user-friendly website and it presents information in a very concise way. Me and my friends (some of them are still students with very tight budget) all donated to wiki. I also take the time to write this story down to let you know that please keep up with the good work- although you don't get feedback from the users, you are changing people's life everyday!}}

 {{cquote|As a career print journalist, I remember the day Wikipedia came into my knowledge. I was deeply skeptical of its contents, of its ability to self-police the facts found on its pages, but would pop in now and then just to see whether Wiki's information coincided with facts I knew to be true. As the months and years went by, I began to use it more and more, particularly making use of the citations at the bottom of an entry to further my own research.
 After leaving the profession during the downsizing of newsrooms a couple of years ago, I, with my partner, began my own writers website, dedicated to the support and help, without ads, of those journalists who have become freelancers in the wake of the corporate decimation of the newsrooms and the print media.
