{{cquote|Moved to Bali where termites eat books and books are difficult to buy...big contrast to the UK where there is free access to libraries. I have my own design business and often need visual references of animals and plants plus I have 11 year old twin boys who ask LOTS of questions...basically because of Wikipedia I moved to live on a beach and to work closely with my craftspeople in this fascinating place and my boys can get educated too.}} |

{{cquote|I am a retired prof. of chemistry and I'm not active professionally, but I find Wikipedia to be of great use as I pursue readings and study in many areas including history, science, and music. I have followed your development from the start. I was initially concerned that the open manner of contributing would lead to the promulgation of much misinformation. However, I have come to appreciate the sort of self-correcting nature of Wikipedia as the revisions become more and more authoritative. Still I am happy that you now use some degree of oversight to keep opinions and facts from intruding on each other. |
