- "Before I knew about Wikipedia, I was afraid. I thought most people in the world were jerks, bigots, or just plain bad people. Then, while looking around at wikipedia and seeing how it worked, I couldn't see how that could be true. Wikipedia just could not exist if it was true: if bad people outnumbered, outgunned, and out-shouted the good. I came to the conclusion that more people in the world were good than bad. That the chances were good that the man you bumped on the train is a good person, that the lady behind the cash register is a good person, that the bus driver is a good person. Wikipedia restored my faith in humanity, and my outlook on life has changed because of it. Thank you." by Christopher Hutten-Czapski
