{{cquote|I especially like Wikipedia for the detailed, highly sophisticated articles on history, the arts and music, and science. The depth and complexity of these articles are the equal of any existing reference source and are instantaneously accessible. I use Wikipedia so frequently I have come to take its existence for granted -- and to overlook the obvious need to finance this noble enterprise. Of special note is the quality of the articles on the medical sciences; as a physician, I have found this resource to be at least as valuable as the on-line medical websites I also access. |

In considering the importance of Wikipedia, one is reminded of the impact that the "Encyclopedie" of Diderot and the other Enlightenment philosophers must have had when it was created; this project is comparable. |

Thank you for this extraordinary resource! }} |

{{cquote|Free and open communication and information are the absolute cornerstones of creating a brighter world for all mankind. If you consider intelligence not as the information available within an organism, but the knowledge available TO an organism, then we are the smartest people ever to live, in part because Wikipedia has made a world's wealth of ideas accessible to us. |
