+{{cquote|Wikipedia is one of those things that people build, where it is of such a scale that I cannot quite believe it has ever been built. These things, things like the Great Wall, things like the Pyramids, only seem believable if they have sprung into being fully formed. Of course, it isn't true. These things are built on the backs of hundreds or thousands of human lives. Wikipedia is built on the back of Pliny, and Diderot, and the Britannica, and when you try to describe it out loud, I don't quite believe any of it. It is a book that does not exist, but that half the world can see. It has no lead author, celebrates no one cause or ego. It is paid for in nothing but time, and grows by passion alone.
+It's a thing of wonder, and that's why I support it. }}

 {{cquote|I'm a Post-Grad in Computer Science and employed in IT services industry. Wikipedia has been my Oracle for the past 3 years of my career. It has provided me the most fundamental knowledge in the most simplest way possible. I'm yet to find a page that did not exist here on which I needed some info.
