{{cquote|As a college student I had professors telling me that I should not use Wikipedia for my research projects because "anyone can post whatever they like in there". |

Now as a college professor some of my peers still say the same, yet I tell them (and all my students), "go to Wikipedia, I dare you to find a more clear, concise, complete, well organized, researched and documented information anywhere else". Kudos to you! I wish I could give more!}} |

{{cquote|As a Library Science graduate student, I did my Thesis on Wikipedia, arguing that resistance to Wikipedia was counterproductive, disingenuous, and self-defeating to the profession, and that ignoring Wikipedia as a resource was to ignore the very best source of quick information anywhere. This was in 2007, and I think that time has borne me out. As an information professional, Wikipedia is often a place I look first when I need to figure out where to look for more comprehensive, authoritative information. I don't cite it, but I sure use it a lot!}} |
