{{cquote|I started out as an engineer and was a great believer in articles which were peer reviewed prior to publication. When I first heard of Wikipedia a few years ago, I was outraged, incensed that someone would be so bold as to publish encyclopedic type articles on the internet that were not peer reviewed prior to posting. I have since seen the practically of your schema (compare number of subjects on Wikipedia versus those in any other encyclopedia) and the self policing of this great body of work. I realize that in the short term there may be some abuse but overall I love the concept and the realization of that concept. Keep it up guys.}} |

{{cquote|I am a law librarian at a law firm and I use Wikipedia every day. When I first starting using it years ago I was very skeptical. But that's my job - I critically evaluate information for our attorneys and clients. Over the years I have learned to trust most of what I find on Wikipeia and that is the best compliment I can give you. I frequently find things on Wikipedia that are nowhere else or available on high priced research services. I am very critical and hard to please and you've passed the test. Thanks. }} |
