{{cquote|Before Wikipedia, I would read news outside my area of expertice, but usually didn't understand it. I didn't have the time to read up or Google everything that was disscussed and parse through a dozen usually biased hits from newspapers or randon websites. Now I can quickly understand almost any news article in any field, be it politics, economics, science, you name it. I love the objectiveness of Wikipedia. Usually there is no slant. Wikipedia is really the only site I can rely on to get the skinny on anything without having to wade through the irrelvant side-rants on other sites search engines like Google return. I admit, its ironic, but thanks to this encyclopedia I am up on the latest news. Thanks! }} |

I don't think that wikipedia is amazing because it helps me finish my chem labs, or because it keeps me interested late at night, but because it spreads the knowledge around. It's anti-proprietary knowledge, and it's the best thing on the internet so far. |
