{{cquote|Wikipedia is an incredible resource. I cherish the fact that I can learn more about anything -anytime. More importantly, curious and motivated people in less developed countries can enter this knowledge base not only to expand their breadth and grasp of knowledge that's "out there" but also to contribute information of their own. Equal knowledge available to all people - truly a gift to humamity. }} |

{{cquote| I am a revenue strategist. I rely on the Internet for most of my secondary research. I started using Wikipedia in 2005. I noticed that techies were putting excellent information out there. Since then I have used wikipedia to get a baseline view of MANY subjects - and I'm amazed at the overall quality and value of what is available. The criticisms that are leveled at Wikipedia are eclipsed by the value it creates. Wikipedia is so much more valuable than traditionally managed encyclopedias because information is much more likely to be up-to-date, AND it is more likely to be correct because all of us have the opportunity to comment and improve its contents. |
