{{cquote|Every day half a dozen questions or speculations occur to me about people, phenomena, dates and places, almost all of which--IF I can only remember them later when I get to the computer--can be answered or resolved via Wikipedia. Wikipedia is a reliable one-stop answer machine, a first responder to my many question emergencies. In addition, there's an odd comfort in knowing the information I find may be a song sung many voices, or a bread that's been kneaded by many hands. The singular voice of Authority is missing in a Wikipedia entry and instead one senses quiet democratic possibility within the data. When visiting Wikipedia one is not lonely.}} |
