{{cquote|My students at the University of Northern Iowa and I use Wikipedia daily to access information quickly. Naturally, being an academic I am concerned about the documentation of sources. But a broad spectrum of the information available on Wikipedia is meticulously cited and contributed by persons obviously concerned with accuracy. I should have made a contribution long ago, but better late than never. }} |

{{cquote|Wikipedia's foundation happened right around the same time I graduated from High School. Therefore, for all of my pre-college education, I did not have the luxury of using its functions for research. Of course, the internet was around, but it was disorganized and the only way to find information was by using a search engine or articles database. There was no central source of education written by many contributors and edited by many hands. As usual, interpretation of found information is dependent on the inquisitor's intelligence, but the procedure to find it relies on the technology and tools on hand. |
