{{cquote|When I first came across Wikipedia, I was simply looking for some information. I noticed a few typos and realized I could fix them right then and there. Imagine that, an encyclopedia that anyone could edit! My contributions grew from simple grammatical fixes to finding sources and finally to creating entire articles. |

This is the sort of thing the world needs. Free flow of information is, of course, paramount, but that information is useless if it's edited by a select group of people before anyone else sees it. Wikipedia eliminates that bias by allowing anyone with the knowledge and the sources to back it up to make sure anyone reading an article gets the whole story. As long as Wikipedia exists, I'll keep helping to keep that idea alive.}} |
