+{{cquote|As a Librarian and information professional for 25 years, I witnessed and promoted the conception and evolution of this amazing entity called the Internet.  Though the Net and its offspring such as Wikipedia challenged the role and need for reference specialists such as myself as it democratically empowered the many, we never felt threatened by it. Rather, we embraced it, demanded more of it, and it responded in spades. Because of this I am so much more capable, inquisitive, and resource-full than I could have imagined a mere 15 years ago!  Among the thousands of sites I have bookmarked over the years, Wikipedia is certainly one of the most dog-eared.  It is a brave and beautiful technology. We are all the better for its abiding presence.}}

 {{cquote|In an era of consolidation of media sources by less-than-independent outlets, I can often rely on Wikipedia for fairly unbiased information.  I value the simultaneous open nature of the site and the standards that help ensure the quality and accuracy of the articles.  I have used Wikipedia, for example, in the planning of international trips to researching insects found in my back yard.  Keep up the great work!}}
