{{cquote|I am a dermatology professor in a near-Cairo university. About 5 years ago I was preparing a lecture for my students. Every time I made a search for my subject search results return fine material but I was unable to use them as they all required me to pay an amount of US dollars that nearly equal my monthly sallary. Then I found wikipedia and when I found thatt information is valuable and free I started to to search for a "catch" like:"for full article pay...I found no catch. since then I looked at wikipedia as my first, respectable source of knowledge starting from sofisicated science to the meaning of the lyrics of the songs that I liked in the senenties. Thanks for wikipedia and thank you for and feeling that allover the world there are people who need information but can not pay for it.}} |

{{cquote|My story is that I am a University Professor at home with a limited access to an up to date data bank due to our extremely slow and inefficient library system. I rely largely on Wikipedia as a source of immediate and ample information on constantly arising queries to me and my students. Based on it we can further research into more detailed channels. I would not want this site to become paying for that is forbidding to me and many other people and opposes the ideology of the Internet.}} |
