{{cquote|Wikipedia is my first source to go to for well researched and unbiased information. Thank you for the wealth of information, history and links that you offer when I need to understand a subject matter better or want to make wiser choices in my future searches. You have not let me down and, in my professional and private life, access to trustworthy sources of information is important. I have made a donation because I count on you and if you need to count on me, I'll do my part. Thank you for your service!! }} |

{{cquote|Wikipedia is the first place I go when I have to find information for research or just for personal interest. It's always right at my fingertips and it hasn't let me down yet. I truly admire what wiki does for the world over; promoting access to the knowledge of professionals the world over open up countless opportunities for people of all ages. It brings to mind a story about my brother. He was working on a school project and one night he decided to consult Wikipedia for some ideas. He found all the inspiration and resources he needed in just a few moments. after he presented his project to the class, his teacher gave him a letter filled with praise for his ingenuity and resourcefulness and asked if we could move him to a more advanced class. He was six at the time. My brother is eight now and has progressed to reading entire Wikipedia articles for fun. He impresses me everyday with how much he's learned. What I'm trying to say is that Wikipedia has provided children with a supplemented education outside of the formal school system with the freedom to learn what they find interesting. Wikipedia is helping to create a better future across the globe. }} |
