{{cquote|I don't often think about it, but Wikipedia has evolved into my "go to" source for quick and almost always accurate information about any one topic. I remember when I had to research topics using out of date encyclopedias and library books. While those mediums have their place, Wikipedia represents, to me, a means to share everyone's tiny sliver of insight and wisdom in a way that will eventually be accessible to all. }} |

{{cquote|I make it a habit to learn something new about history at least 3 or 4 times a week. Wikipedia has really made that much easier for me to do. For example, this week I learned about the American colonists. That lead me to want to know more about the American revolution, which made me want to know more bout George Washington. Some nights I'll sit down, and due to the ability to "link" to other subjects, I'm on Wikipedia for hours. I credit Wikipedia for inspiring me to want to learn more. I usually end up buying a book or two based on the articles I read on Wikipedia. Thank you! }} |
