{{cquote|As a part time developer I cannot keep up with all the jargon of new technologies. Senior Developers whom I rely on to do my job throw out references that they assume I understand. To stay positive I just stick my head up for fresh air and search terms on Wikipedia to catch up to what they are talking about. |
|||
They share with me the nugget I need but it is protocol to not bog them down with peripheral questions. They respect me more for doing my own research and I respect them by using Wikipedia to get caught up. |
|||
So Wikipedia helps me keep my ground and pull my own weight. But I also realize that Wikipedia is not a tool to help me earn respect with my friends and colleagues, Wikipedia is also a community of human friends and colleagues. |
|||
So Thank you to all those who have shared your knowledge with me. |
|||
Please keep the tax receipt, this is not a donation I am making, its just what I owe. |
|||
Thank you friends and thank you Jimmy for your vision. }} |

{{cquote|I'm a graduate student in physics, and I use wikipedia very often as a reference. In my field it is a great reference, and a good starting point whenever learning about something new. I think it is a good model for organizing knowledge in general. I try to write up the things that I have worked out, in a way similar to wikipedia. I figured it would be good to give back. }} |
