I love the fact that it points me to articles and books. It really has opened the landscape of how people can enrich their knowledge. |

I also appreciate the fact that Wikipedia does not offer a biased representation of controversial topics, or figures. |

{{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.}} |
