{{cquote|I'm a CS student. For me, the information contained within books is both probably outdated and hard / time - consuming to reach. I always seek information on the internet to help me in my assignments. Papers, interactive java applets, and, of course, wikipedia articles are my only sources. |

Without wikipedia, I wouldn't be able to meet my assignment deadlines and I would've probably learnt half the stuff I know about computers. And this is not just a figure of speech; I often find myself browsing wikipedia articles on different algorithms, historical computers / projects and biographies. |

Wikipedia is the savior of millions in the academic community.}} |

{{cquote|I support Wikipedia because I can't imagine life without it! We are so lucky to have a place which is not just a gathering of ideas and information, but also discourse and dialogue. When I read an article on Wikipedia, I am getting not just the facts someone was kind enough to transcribe, but also alternate opinions, flags for bias, and room for debate. And, best of all for a nerd like me, when there's a typo I can make it disappear with a couple clicks. Wikipedia is truly the place where the people of the world can share their knowledge and passions, and all of us who benefit from it should support it. }} |
