I think this is really fantastic, by the way.  The "educating the
world" has a lot of resonance for me and people that I talk with about
Wikipedia.

More can be said along these lines, e.g. presenting Wikipedia as one
of the few beacons of light against the force of anti-intellectualism
which pervades so much popular media these days.

If you asked me a decade ago if I thought an encyclopedia would be one
of the worlds most popular websites I might have laughed at the
question.  Wikipedia improves my faith in humanity.
