{{cquote| I'm grateful for Wikipedia. I live in a country with limited and expensive educational resources. Being as knowledge thirsty as I am, its a huge relief to know that I can always get the information I need from Wikipedia in the flash of a second. |

I hope to be a Reading Room facilitator in my country some day. I hope I will have a facility large enough for several computers with internet connection where many can come to educate themselves for free because where I am from, the internet is still exclusively elitist. I pray that someday, I can touch many lives the same way wikipedia has touched mine. |

Thank you for Wikipedia.}} |

{{cquote|I am a retired ancient art professor from the University of Georgia. I am continuing my research projects in my retirement. In the last few weeks, I have noticed that when I do an online search for images of art works, I constantly get sites that sell reproductions, not sites with images taken from the works themselves. Wikipedia has really helped, with its large database of images, many of which can be enlarged and zoomed in on, to show fine details. }} |
