{{cquote|I first found Wikipedia when I was a professional snowboarder 1998 and Iooked at the snowboarding page only to see that the board type catagories were missing the original and most classic powder board "the swallow tail" - (This shape emulates the fish tail boards from 1960s short board surfing" - So I contributed. I felt giddy - it wa sthe fist thing I had published on the world wide web - before blogging, twitter and CMS systems. Some years later after working for web design agencies I launched digitaim, a consultancy that helps people make more of, and better understand internet communication technologies. Wikipedia is a key information source for me everyday in enabling the web community to share and discuss the rapidly developing technologies that are exploding across the digital arena.}} |

{{cquote|I am a scientist by training. Therefore I am also a skeptic. Wikipedia continues to impress me with its ability to get complex scientific concepts and facts correct. In addition it is often as up-to-date, and occasionally more so, than the primary-source literature. I truly believe that this resource is one of humankind's greatest achievements. Thank you. }} |
