{{cquote|Wikipedia touches my family's life everyday. My wife and I daily read atleast 2 pages of new content and this forms the basis of a lot of our conversations and future forays into art and culture. We both feel that Wikipedia has contributed as much to our education and development as had our 16 odd years of schooling. Its non-biased approach to sensitive issues helps us get a proper perspective time and again. }} |

{{cquote|I once did a talk at our church on "The Wisdom of the Web," as an attempt to determine what a young person or anyone for that matter, might find on the web as a basis for how to run their life. It is astonishing how much rubbish is floating around the web universe, a huge amount of it very old rubbish, and a lot of it clearly composed by people with little regard for the truth. The amazing contribution that Wikipedia has brought to this process is a tendency toward fact, truth or reality. The process of "peer review" built into Wikidome, where every netizen is a peer, has proven to be a most worthwhile endeavor, and is one of the few influences affecting the Web that is taking content in the direction of truth as most informed contributors determine it to be. }} |
