{{cquote| I'm a nurse working nights on a psych unit. The hospital has BLOCKED almost any site that is not specifically medical in nature, but, THANK GOD, has not blocked Wikipedia. Often I do look up medical and psych-related subjects on Wikipedia, but have to admit that in quiet times I look up things I am just personally interested in. THANK YOU for being there! }} |

{{cquote|My kid is 2 years old now - and in another couple of years or so, she will be smart enough to start wiki-ing. Why will she do that? Well, I learnt my general knowledge from the Tell Me Why publication series - and for me, once my parents had bought them and placed them on the house shelf, it was always there and always free. I want Wikipedia to be the same for my child - pure, clean, informative, accurate and enjoyable. Even Google does not match up to wikipedia when it comes to meeting the thirst for knowledge of fresh new minds. I am not sure what kind of Earth we will leave for the next generation, but something as wonderful and vital as wikipedia should certainly somehow last unsullied into the future. |
