{{cquote|Wikipedia flows against the ever-prevalent trend of proprietary knowledge, meaning knowledge kept and used by its holder not for the common good but his own benefit. Knowledge should not have a copyright but rather be free and accessible by all. The success of Wikipedia, with its millions of visitors and true treasure of knowledge is the proof that humans, indeed, do not live only to make money but also to share and do good to one another. I admit having been surprised in a delightful and deep way seeing the professional and abundant input by people all over the world making Wikipedia by far the most rich single source of information globally. For these reasons alone -and there are tons of other-, Wikipedia must be sustained and kept alive. I urge anybody reading this to donate whatever amount they won't feel as a loss -it will be enough. }} |

{{cquote|Wikipedia means up-to-date expansive definitions that have the thorough vetting of multiple minds and perspectives. I love that Wikipedia is a place where knowledge, value, and community exist without interference from advertising and pay-to-play biased featuring. I believe that Wikipedia is one of the most worthwhile and inspiring models of planetary collective action in human history. My gratitude to all those that make it what it is. }} |
