{{cquote|I am huge advocate of knowledge sharing and it’s potential. Wikipedia is the best tool for just that, knowledge sharing. It has restructured how we get our daily information. Without a question, there will always be skeptics that attack its credibility, however due to the established infrastructure of the site; the integrity of the information will be maintained. For those who still question it need to use the site and test the accuracy themselves AND also should watch the interview of Jimmy Wales on TED.com. Not only am I pro-Wikipedia for its powerful ever-expanding information delivery, but also because Mr. Wales seems to be genuine in his motive for the site; to bring a vast amount of knowledge to anyone on the planet.}} |

{{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. }} |
