+{{cquote|Wikipedia and the entire Wikimedia foundation means a lot to me.  The concept that anyone with access to the internet can learn about virtually any subject they wish is astounding.  The core principles of Wikipedia are, in my opinion, not only the principles of Wikipedia and its sister projects, but of the internet itself.  The idea that anyone can share their knowledge with anyone else with an interest in the subject is incredible.
+Additionally, the efforts that the foundation are making to distribute this information to people without internet access, through projects such as OLPC and others, is simply awesome.
+When people are better informed, they can make better decisions.  When they make better decisions, the world gets better.  In short, the Wikimedia Foundation informs the world, and improves the world.
+Thank you for your efforts.}}

 {{cquote|Wikipedia has helped me work my way through Paramedic school and has been a huge help in the field working on an ambulance. When I come across a medication that I have never seen before, I can quickly access information about it using wikipedia, allowing me to more effectively and efficiently treat my patients and prevent potentially lethal drug interactions. Without wikipedia, I would have to try to sift through search results or contact a doctor to ask. By having such a vast body of knowledge at my fingertips, it leaves me free to worry about other things, instead of trying to decipher labels.}}
