{{cquote|Wikipedia is an invaluable resource to the freedom of information in these modern times. Wikipedia has been a model citizen of the internet, demonstrating ethical responsibility, commitment to users, commitment to accuracy and an overall good neighbor to the internet community. I especially admired Wikipedia, when recent media studies showed that among all popular internet websites, Wikipedia was rated as a non-intrusive entity demonstrating Wikipedias commitment to its user base. Its a relief knowing that not only can I trust Wikipedia in good faith to be a reliable and referancable source of information but that I also know that Wikipedia looks out for my internet privacy as well. When I saw that Wikipedia needed assistance to continue to furnish its wonderful product; I contributed without hesitation. Thank you Wikipedia! }} |

{{cquote|Wikipedia changes the world every second of every minute of every day. This site means I can learn what I want, when I want, how I want, without having to sacrifice my cognitive capacity to advertisers. Jesus, some of my graduate-level university texts have advertisements in them! This ultimate, ad-free, collaborative, open and free source of knowledge means I don't have to buy a book or go to the library to access basic information that I need!! This site does not eliminate the library, it instead gives me more incentive to access library resources. It also gives me an opportunity to participate in actively drafting history. Wikipedia also provides creative commons licensing, which sometimes means I can obtain photographs or documents I would otherwise, potentially, have to pay for. Way to go Jimmy Wales, you asked and you received.}} |
