{{cquote|To me Wikipedia represents everything that the world should be. It's open source format encourages the best and brightest scholars to contribute to articles on literally every subject imaginable. |

I believe that Wikipedia is every bit as significant in today's world as the Gutenberg printing press was in it's time. In fact, it will likely be even more influential as the Gutenberg printing press was not able to reproduce anything like the diversity of topics here. |

Perhaps the most significant aspect of Wikipedia is that, remarkably, it is not for sale. For the first time in history knowledge is available to anyone with an internet connection at no cost. If there is a greater free service offered to the world today I cannot think of what it might possibly be. }} |

{{cquote|I am a consultant specializing in security. A substantial portion of my work involves providing training to our clients. Wikipedia is my "go-to" source for current security information about international affairs and threats. Used cautiously it is far more useful than ANY government site due to the frequency with which articles are updated and generally has a broader range of easily understood information. }} |
