{{cquote|After I heard the author, Isabel Wilkerson speak in person about her book "The Warmth of Other Suns", I wanted to learn more about her. I went home and opened my laptop and went to Wikipedia. I was shocked that only a paragraph and the smallest amount of information was written about her. I wanted everyone to know about this important piece of work she'd just done so I registered with Wikipedia, read about how to add content and typed up a sentence about her book, making sure to include a link so others could buy it directly. When I saw it popped up the next time I searched, I was amazed that I'd contributed something that felt like I'd helped to improve the base of knowledge about not only a person- but a subject matter that means a lot to so many others.}} |
