I believe Wikipedia is not only the greatest and most perfect website to exist, but also one of the greatest accomplishments of humankind.
I rarely use such strong, ostensibly hyperbolic language without sarcasm, but I couldn't be more sincere and genuine with that statement.
It exemplifies the information age, and the "purpose" of the internet - networked information transfer. The design is simple and usable to an almost miraculous degree. The distributed sourcing of information with mind-blowing moderation is pioneering and of upmost respectability.
Its ability to endure through the onslaught of addictive capitalist pressures and sheer ethical reasonableness is something very special, resisting ads for the sake and benefit of humanity, I almost want to cry just writing about it.
I could say so much more, but what I want to get to is - Thank you Wikipedia. You have changed countless lives and spread unthinkable knowledge to unfathomable futures. Hard to believe it's only been 20 years, I can't imagine a universe without you.
Please donate if you use Wikipedia. The world needs it.
