{{cquote|The success of Wikipedia is what led to my current job! After reading Wikinomics and being inspired by the idea of crowd-sourcing information, the non-profit that I work for (the Lucy Burns Institute) started niche wikis exploring aspects of the political process in the United States, Ballotpedia and Judgepedia, using the MediaWiki platform. I continue to work for the success of these wikis several years later and am still in love with the idea of a site that anyone can contribute to in order to further knowledge.}} |

{{cquote|I find that wikipedia is one of best resources on the internet. It helps me find original literature and definitions of many mathematical and scientific principles, such as fractional differentiation, diffusion models, Lie algebras, K-trajectories, and other principles. Its like the base point, upon which I can build upon which I can start understanding. Frequently, the articles that I visit are changed for the better over time and I'm proud to support such an effort to support dissemination of knowledge that helps better mine and the rest of mankind's everyday life.}} |
