{{cquote|I am a university theatre professor on sabbatical writing an acting book on Playing the Clowns of Shakespeare. I have multiple books that I use as sources but because the Renaissance- Shakespeare's writing period- is built on a myriad of classical and neoclassical dramatists and humanist philosophers and writers I would often need to simply date and clarify individuals and information. Wikipedia has saved me hours of time and set me off on some very interesting tangents that have improved my work. As a teacher I ask my students to go beyond Wikipedia but it is a wonderful place to start to focus their journey. Thanks.}} |

{{cquote|For several years I was skeptical of Wikipedia. It seemed at the time that it was set up for celebrities and such. As I continued to be sent to Wikipedia from other queries, I found this to be the most respected and the most qualifiable site on the web. I work in highly regarded areas of intelligence for the US Army and Law Enforcement; Wikipedia is what I turn to first for research and if I have a desire to get it right. I respect the fact that your site doesn't commercially fund itself, as it is very important to me to get it right without being worried about whether or not there is another source "slanting" my information. I love your site. I love your cause. I believe in it and I'm trying to show that I back it; even in a small way. Thank-you... and don't stop what your doing... and keeping it real.}} |
