{{cquote|At least twice a week I turn to Wikipedia to answer a question I have. Today I used it twice in the last twenty minutes - to look up the origin of the term "Black Friday" and the origin of the term Sourdough for an Alaskan old-timer. It is most often the first place I go to learn more about a subject - any subject. I have even contributed a little to an article on the steam engine. It's a wonderful and crucial tool that contributes to knowledge and understanding around the world - and it's free. What more could you ask for?}} |

{{cquote|Wikipedia means getting unbiased information un-liked to any particular agenda. It means knowing that what I read can be relied on. I particularly like the various links in most entries, and have learned an enormous amount of information through the Wikipedia submissions. Some of the most valuable information I have found on identifying the symptoms of the immune system disorder I suffer from have come from research done on Wikipedia. Successful treatments that I have suggested to my doctor have come from there as well. Thanks, Mr. Wales, and Wikipedia!! }} |
