{{cquote|Wikipedia has inspired a new generation of infectious sharing via the internet. In a positive, reliable, and beneficial way; 'wiki' now represents a source of ideas and knowledge that far surpasses any other website, system, or Encyclopaedia in the world. I am currently the operations manager for one of the first non-state run museums in China, and I can say that the heart and logic behind Wikipedia has inspired us and helped us to develop as an organisation and as a place for the public sharing of knowledge. Thank you Wikipedia}} |

{{cquote|Thank you for creating Wikipedia under free and open license and promoting the access to collaborative and comprehensive knowledge for everyone. The success and growth of Wikipedia is evidence to me of the overwhelming benevolent nature of the human race. Many early critics claimed that the open editing and authorship policy of Wikipedia would be too vulnerable to malicious acts of defacement, deliberate dissemination of false information, use of the site to promote controversial and one-sided viewpoints, and suffer from the relatively uninformed with a "dangerous level of knowledge" drowning out the experts and accurate information. I feel that without a doubt Wikipedia has demonstrated this is not true, and the collaborative efforts and pooled knowledge across all produces high quality publication with accuracy, growing depth, and a breadth beyond anything obtained yet in human history. |
