The core of Wikipedia is something people really believe in. That is too valuable for the world to screw it up.

Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we're doing.

There's a big tendency to gravitate toward a closed and proprietary approach too easily.

Almost anything is better than three network TV outlets completely controlling the national discourse with their nightly broadcasts. We've moved a long way from that, and that's important.

Frankly, and let me be blunt, Wikipedia as a readable product is not for us. It's for them. It's for that girl in Africa who can save the lives of hundreds of thousands of people around her, but only if she's empowered with the knowledge to do so.

I can't do anything quietly anymore.

I still believe there is a need to open up search and it will come eventually. It is very important to challenge the current models.
