-{{cquote|Sunt o persoana curioasa si combativa. Imi place sa stiu multe, sa-i inteleg pe ceilalti si sa-mi argumentez pozitiile. Nu sunt bogata, asa ca internetul este poarta mea spre lume, spre oameni, spre stiinta. Prima data am gasit Wikipedia in engleza, si mi-a fost destul de greu, apoi pe cea in franceza, si abia apoi in limba romana. Am fost absolut entuziasmata: statistic, in Romania erau putini utilizatori de internet.
-Am povestit tuturor prietenilor.
-Dar cel mai frumos a fost acum doua saptamani, cand mi-am invatat mama- care are 72 de ani- sa caute informatii in Wikipedia ro. Mama mea acum invata sa utilizeze calculatorul. Nu i-a venit sa creada ca aceasta enciclopedie poate fi cercetata gratuit. "Cum? Cine a tradus in romana toate informatiile acestea? Si sigur n-o sa primesc acasa o factura? Nu pot sa cred ca cineva face aceste lucruri fara sa-mi ceara ceva in schimb! Chiar nu credeam ca se mai face ceva dezinteresat in lumea asta."
-I-am spus ca, probabil, internetul,si accesul liber si gratuit la informatie poate pune bazele celei mai democratice societati pe care o cunoastem. Eu sper ca asa va fi.}}

 {{cquote|Wikipedia is the 21st Century's equivalent of the Library of Alexandria, and it represents the highest in humanity's willingness to collaborate and share knowledge across the globe.  As a screenwriter and comedy writer who insists on approaching subjects with verisimilitude, Wikipedia allows me to do my research thoroughly and efficiently without purchasing expensive books or spending days in a library.

 I can only hope that Wikipedia perpetuates forever and is available, for FREE, to anybody who wants to learn...and that experts in every field continue to share their knowledge with humankind.  I urge ANYONE who can make a donation to the Wikimedia Foundation to do so. Donating allows everyone with an Internet connection to continue a cycle of learning that will elevate mankind and bring all of us closer by perpetuation of valuable knowledge.}}

 {{cquote|Students in our city who cannot afford even a day’s meal are still interested in learning and continuing their schooling. We decided to offer support to these kinds of students in various ways. Wikimedia provided us a path to direct the students to connect to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.   We are planning to offer free Internet access to the students, with access to the free encyclopedia, Wikipedia.   We wish to support the students’ community, the next generation, with free education by the Wiki-way!   We request all visitors to support Wikipedia, support nonprofit education!}}
