{{cquote|In my opinion, the two most laudable goals of Wikipedia are its aim of free universal accessibility by all of humanity, and its ideal of veracity of content, the latter being policed by countless users themselves. |
|||
While it is an extremely important aid to the populations of the developing world, it is as well a sobering window on other cultures for members of the so-called developed world. |
|||
My personal use of the "Wiki" is most often as an immediate reference source to confirm, question or expand on some fact in the nonfiction books that I read. |

{{cquote| I certainly hope for a Wikipedia Forever -- and give you my full support for the web tool as I know it now. Wikipedia is my go-to source for quick background regarding work tasks, locating easy explanatory photos or diagrams for my six-year-old, and resolving trivia disputes with my husband or 17-year-old. Not that I've collected any of my monies yet. But, yes, I'm always right. So far. |
