{{cquote|I live in a rural cabin, quite a few miles from the nearest library. I maintain a website for a non-profit organization from my cabin. I also tutor students from time to time and need a good starting place for helping them to research a topic. Often I need some accurate information or research for my husband, who writes short stories. I can get all these immediately on Wikipedia. |

Some say you can't count on its accuracy, but usually, if that's the case, one sees a note that information is missing or needs work. And for sure, no printed version of any current encyclopedia available, even if I could afford it, could be as up-to-date as Wikipedia is. Nor were those venerable encyclopedia I used in years past always accurate. It just took longer to find that out! At the very least, Wikipedia always gives me the directions I need for further research.}} |

{{cquote|I am really grateful to the site for simplifying life, and for all the people who have taken the tie to contribute and edit. As a student, I often check your site for a basic understanding of the subject matter either before or after i plow through the scholarly sources, which often are not written with the average reader in mind. As well as appreciating you as my encyclopedic source, your biographic resources are the best overview's I've found. I am happy to contribute to keep you free of capitalistic bias. Thank you again for YOUR creative contribution!}} |
