{{cquote|I am a Professor at Yale and I use Wikipedia all the time. Wikipedia saves me hours of searching for information. I am constantly amazed at the accuracy of your information. Although, as an academic,I am critical (and suspicious) of all purportedly true information - I find info on Wikipedia as reliable as many academic sources. A colleague of mine finds the information more accurate than many texts.}} |

{{cquote| While watching breaking news on tv about the attempted terrorist plane attack on Christmas Day 2009, the news reported that the FBI had discovered the presence of PETN in the device. Wanting to get more information on what PETN was I turned to Wikimedia and sure enough there was everything you needed to know about the subject. While reading up on this I was pleasantly surprised to see Wikimedia was updating the website right before my eyes! Putting this breaking news story under the history of this subject! Wow, you can't get any more current information than that! It made us a true believer of Wikimedia and inspired us to make a donation to this very informative and important site. }} |
