{{cquote|Shortly after coming home from the hospital after a terrible illness that almost killed him, my father was just beginning to sit up in bed and check his e-mail. I had given him a new laptop so he could do so from bed. I decided to show him Wikipedia. I found the entry for Turk Murphy (his favorite jazz musician) and he read it avidly. Whenhe expressed disappointment that the entry gave the wrong information about Turk's birth, I showed him how to change it. He was enchanted. Wikipedia brought a smile to his face. }} |

{{cquote|I use Wikipedia as a first stop for pretty much anything I want to research. It's an amazing resource! My friends in India say they have a holiday - Wikipedia tells me what it's about. I read about a new technology in the news - Wikipedia tells me how it works. Politicians refer to an event to make a point - Wikipedia helps me fact-check. Thanks, and keep it going! }} |
