I just love this response: Wikipedia will always be my best mentor, winning an argument with solid and reliable facts might have been a good way to use it, but Wikipedia taught me far beyond that, sciences and philosophies, arts and mythologies, without Wikipedia there wouldn't be me sitting here. Thank you, Wikipedia! Salute to the spirit of spreading knowledge without differences!
