{{cquote|I use wikipedia as a jumping off point for a variety of research. I'm a chemist involved in delivering molecules to and across the skin. Periodically I will encounter a new (to me) molecule, or a new use for a molecule I know in other contexts. I particularly appreciate that wikipedia has so many molecules represented, often with structural data. But I also appreciate being able to look up whatever topic might strike me at the moment, after hearing a radio show, or when my kids have a homework question. No resource is perfect or perfectly accurate, but wikipedia does an astoundingly good job. I like that the "wisdom of the crowd" is proved out every day on wikipedia. Thanks to all you folks do. }} |

{{cquote|I am a long-active entrepreneur in the Internet industry. I'm currently the "RFC Series Editor" - the lead editor in the technical body that creates the standards that make up the Internet. I find Wikipedia invaluable in that work, and in my other businesses. It has fundamentally changed the way I work and learn. I believe it is a major contributor to the increase in the speed of knowledge formation for people worldwide - that is, how they learn to navigate and manage their work and lives. It, and you, are quite astonishing. Thank you Wikipedia. }} |
