+{{cquote|I first heard about Wikipedia from a couple of young men with backpacks from Belgium whom I met in a hotel wifi hot-spot in Japan just north of ground zero. Since the purpose of my travel to Japan was to do research on the nuclear bombing of Nagasaki, they referred me to Wikipedia as an editable online encyclopedia where I might find and / or add to a world wide  knowledge base.
+I use Wikipedia frequently throughout the day in an effort to augment the history I write about. I find the knowledge base of Wikipedia to be a great idea, I hope that all who support Wikipedia remember that all knowledge developed here should tend toward and model the immutable facts of nature and science. All knowledge should possess a solid root in that which is immutable including history. I believe if all who contribute to the knowledge of Wikipedia remember to keep information based in natures immutable truths, this effort will support my hope of seeing Wikipedia approach the dimensions and status of a virtual online Library of Alexandria.
+I'm grateful for a community who gathers to learn and enjoy the truths recorded in Wikipedia. I hope this effort is never controlled by a minority of esoteric overseers but remains the combined influence of a world wide community whose standards for divining the truths recorded here are never based on conjecture but rather an epistemology supported by natures immutable truths. }}

 {{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. }}
