{{cquote|I believe that with Wikipedia, all of us can be a little (or I dare say) lot more aware of the world around us and its history. I like the fact that despite all these years and all the corrupting influences in the net, it is still unbiased, does not promote anything or anybody and manages to provide information without 'passion or prejudice', that it has zealous editors and moderators who quickly pounce on any lobbying/ self-serving articles and keep it clean. Its not perfect, but its influence on the world we live in is tremendous. I dare say its the biggest thing to happen in the noughties! so I contributed to help make it even better; and because I use it almost every day,I'm only helping myself... }} |

{{cquote|Wikipedia has aided me learn everything from anthropological theory to zoological nomenclature, and an infinite realm of possibilities in between. Though it has its share of flaws, a future in which every person has access to free, unbiased knowledge is a utopia dreamt by philosophers. I first encountered the website in 2003, and I have helped edit pages on upcoming video games, analysis of world literature, and pointless political debates. I have great disdain for those who scoff at Wikipedia as non-scholarly and say, "Anyone can edit it." That is the point! If an article is incorrect and you have the knowledge to fix it, then do something besides complaining! Wikipedia is the future of information, and the future is now! Excelsior! }} |
