And since I do not live in an English-speaking country, Wikipedia serves as a very good source of finding and checking on specialised terminology.

{{cquote|Wikipedia has grown to be one of the leading sources of knowledge for my inquiries. I believe Wikipedia has turned the internet to not just an amazing world of information, but an ACCESSIBLE universe of everything you've ever wanted to know.

Wikipedia is truly greater than the sum of it's parts. It is an idea: executed and flourishing. }} |
