{{cquote|As an academic teaching graduate level university courses, I find Wikipedia to be not only an important source of knowledge for me and classes but also one of the most valuable lessons for everyone about the potential of the voluntary spirit, humanity for humanity,sharing for the sake of sharing. I sincerely applaud Jimmy Wales for his imaginative innovation in allowing people everywhere the opportunity to create a peer-to-peer way to voluntarily learn from each other without prejudice and beyond the ever-increasing sphere of proprietary claims on knowledge. Bravo.}} |

{{cquote|Wikipedia is quite possibly the most important site on the internet, and it is completely volunteer driven. It shows to me that if you give people both freedom AND responsibility, they can be trusted.

I have never found information to be more accurate, fair, or neutral to ideology and belief than that which I find on Wikipedia. If, like me, you turn to this immense source of data whenever you have a question, do your part and give a little.}} |
