{{cquote|I am a university professor in philosophy. I work for one of the oldest universities in the world, the Jagiellonian University in Kakow. Wikipedia not only provides me and my students with reasonably credible and trustworthy information on all possible subjects but above all it is for us the source of a new vision of the global society. The very existence of the universal community of the intelligent and passionate peolpe, providing Wikipedia every day with new wave of graet contributions, often more precise and learned than professional payed authors are able to perform, teaches me that the world of reason either begins nor ends at the university. Nothing but Wikipedia challanges so strong the common view of Professors that the society of today sinks into ignorance and egoism. Wikipedia does not only give information but also hope. It is a new Enlightenment, the Enlightenment of the XXI Century. Thanks that you are what you are!}} |

{{cquote|Thank you Wikipedia. When I don't know what a scientific, or political, or financial term means, you are there. When I want to how a medicine my doctor has prescribed works, you are there. When I want to understand more about a family member's illness, you are there. When I don't know the meaning of some techno-lingo phrase, you are there. When I want to know something about a famous person, you are there. Almost everytime I use my computer, I check references and ideas and definitions with you. You are not only informative, but you are passionate and reverent about everything that you speak about. You don't spin me. You don't assume I am an idiot. You are respectful, objective and always trying to improve yourself. You take my mind sailing through the mysteries of the universe. You are my launch pad. I love you. Thank you.}} |
