{{cquote|Few years ago, I stumbled across Wikipedia and the information it provided free of charge when other encyclopedia where asking to subscribe for their service. I come from a developing country and I know that for the majority of us subscribing is not an option. We cannot afford it and most of the time our parents don't have a credit card or they don't trust the net. But when Wikipedia showed a way to provide accurate, updated, and useful information free of charge I was an instant fan, my friends followed and soon we heard it was a world wide success. Tomorrow when a new generation arrives and as more people gain access to the net Wikipedia will be there for them as a source of reliable and updated information like pure cool water to a thirsty traveller. That is what wikipedia forever means to me. }} |

If our kids are learning in this manner, knowledge has no limits. Thank-you Wikipedia.}} |
