{{cquote|I teach English to international English Language Learners in a public elementary school. We use Wikipedia almost every day to get fast, easy to understand information about many of the things these kids want to learn. They are insatiably curious, and Wikipedia is my first choice go-to for reliable information. I'm also a doctoral student, and several of my professors, who do not allow Wikipedia to be used as an academic reference, admit that they use it for background information and comprehensible information on a variety of complex ideas. When I recently told my statistics professor that I used it to help me understand a particularly difficult topic, he praised Wikipedia as a good source. }} |

{{cquote|I met my husband, a resident of New Jersey, two-and-a-half years ago, coincidentally while I was in Canada studying for the New York Bar. Our "dates" often began after I spent the day in class and at the library, and consisted of long-distance conversations with my then-suitor. He had plenty of comments on my studies of the day gleaned from Wikipedia on criminal law; Wikipedia on Estates; Wikipedia (and his own knowledge) on securities law. I was charmed. We've since (very happily) married, we're in this crazy economy together, and we use wikipedia to do house repairs now.}} |
