+{{cquote|As a parent, having Wikipedia as an important source when researching homework with my son is very important to me.  It it almost always the first place I look when getting started on a topic.
+Humanity has never had so much access to information and self study materials, but our risk of losing it is very high.  As an open source applications developer, I see the pressure and lures of information 'walled gardens' everywhere, whether in service to some profit center or in the name of national security interests.  Who owns information is one of the great topics of our times, and Wikipedia sets out a clear and shining answer, "We (all of humanity) Do!"
+I hope we can keep Wikipedia and other resources like it free forever.  Good Luck! }}

 {{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 I remember when I had to research topics using out of date encyclopedias and library books.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. }}
