{{cquote|Is my relationship with Wikipedia actually a story? In real stories, shouldn't protagonists face disappointment and conflict before the happy ending? In contrast, for me, Wiki is just a dream come true. Once upon a time I believed that if I wanted to learn whatever I wanted whenever I wanted to, I would have to live in a book-lined house, a goal which I very nearly achieved. Now, however, although I still love books and choose to live surrounded by them, I also have a computer on whenever I am awake because that way, I can satisfy my curiosity within seconds. Not only that but I can also discuss the results with other interested people, no matter how arcane the subject. For an endlessly curious person, this is heaven, pure and simple. }} |

{{cquote|I constantly refer to Wikipedia to check facts and learn more about all kinds of topics while I develop science education materials. I also greatly appreciate the images on Wikimedia Commons, which allow me to add information and visual interest to the lessons I work on. Of course, I also use Wikipedia for fun - to look up movies, historical events, etc., etc., and to let my kids find out more about things they're interested in. Where would the Web be without Wikipedia?? }} |
