{{cquote|I am a Clemson University student and with out the availability of Wikipedia I would have a much more difficult time doing research for classes and papers. Wikipedia provides me with information when ever I have a question about something that I need more information on. It is my go to source for info on the internet. I hope that Wikipedia continues to grow and to amass all of human knowledge into on single database. Thank you for this service that has become an almost everyday part of my life. I would love to write for wikipedia and to contribute to the articles if given the opportunity. Thanks. }} |

{{cquote|I'm a physicist and I regularly use Wikipedia for work and for fun. If I quickly need to recall a formula or a concept regarding Electromagnetism or quantum physics Wikipedia is a good starting point. |

One day an important visitor came to our lab, that is located on the roof-top of a 12-story building with a lot of windows. As we were watching the sky with a large Polaroid sheet and commenting about how clouds and sky look different in vertically or horizontally polarized light, our guest told us that our eyes can be used as polarizers and showed us the amazing Haidinger's brush effect. Of course Wikipedia has an entry for it! }} |
