{{cquote|As a student, Wikipedia is the best source of information for me and the rest of the students in my class and in my school. Every student uses their computer for schoolwork, and I'm so glad to get to use Wikipedia on a daily basis to check up on facts, find more information and gain knowledge. Our teachers advise us to use Wikipedia, with caution, but definately use it! I can't begin to say thank you for the many times you have rescued me and so often made it easier for me to quickly find what I'm looking for, and so much more! |

Thank you. :)}} |

{{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.}} |
