    • Needs translation, but too long anyways
    • It says: "the judge must see that no order be made or judgment given or sentence passed either more harshly or more mildly than the case requires; he must not seek renown, either as a severe or as a tender-hearted judge". --ShiningEyes 04:17, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
  2. "Imagine a world[website] in which every single [literate] person on the planet[in the western world] is given free access to the sum of all [important] human knowledge [that we can't merge, transwiki, or find an excuse to delete]. That's what we'rethe Wikimedia foundation doing [hopes to do] [with your support]." -- Jimbo Wales, 50 edits later.

    • It's like a book, except instead of a story and characters it's just got a load of webpages about different stuff, and it's made of computer stuff instead of paper.
    • "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."
