{{cquote|Wikipedia has changed my life in that it consistently provides the information I desire in a moment's time. Fast processing and intelligent internal logic gets me to the page I am looking for in a flash. If it wasn't for Wikipedia, I know I would not be where I am today intellectually. For that I am grateful and that is why I donate to Wikipedia. }} |

{{cquote|I'm a junior in college now, but all through high school and before, Wikipedia was frowned upon by all teachers or other intellectual people I knew. Even though I had never actually found, or heard of anyone else finding, a serious factual error, using Wikipedia just seemed kind of lazy. But after playing a game with one of my high school friends in which we would make absurd changes to a particular Wikipedia article - and seeing how quickly those changes were checked, reviewed, and removed - my faith in the job the people at Wikipedia do started to grow immensely. Now, my friends and I enjoy surfing Wikipedia for interesting people, places, and events, or lists of those, but I also never feel bad about looking something up for one of my classes either. }} |
