This guy deserves a gofundme. He's dedicated his life for free knowledge, it's incredible. Nothing but respect coming from me

[TheArmchairHistorian]

Teachers HATE him. Click here to learn his SECRETS.

[jash]

This man is literally trying his hardest to convert all historical information onto a worldwide accessible data base. He’s a legend (oh yeah yeah)

[eckzotic]

hey man, if you're reading this, i hope no one ever makes you feel that you are crazy or a nut, that is nonsense. you are an incredible human who has helped and made a lasting, positive impact on humanity. more power to you steven.

[heysiri]

I don’t see him as crazy. I think he’s doing something very honorable and respectable

[mathieuclement]

This man helped you through school more than teachers did

[justinztan]

Man, he gave us so much for free. He could've made a lot of money, but what a selfless, humble man!

[andrewt]

I had this guy as a teacher every year in high school

[valarmorghulis]

The man who allowed me to graduate. Thanks bruh!

[TampaTec]

He would destroy everyone on Jeopardy. A Walking encyclopedia.

[Dell-olhb]

This dude has to be easily one of the most influential human beings that has lived in recent history.

[gunngator]

He is a hero. He does it for free because he believes knowledge should be free. Wish universities and colleges had the same thought as him

[fipeke]

This man. This is my real teacher.
I salute you, Wizard of Wikipedia.

[blunew]

I wonder how many times he has changed "is" to "was" 10 minutes after a celebrity died.

[ajeetalbert]

If he would have made money out of it, the world will be calling him a genius.
When he does it for free, the world is calling him crazy.

[Tetratronic]

Wouldn't this guy destroy all quiz shows ever?

[AidanCooper]

This guy has probably made more information accessible to humanity than anybody else in history. Sir, we salute you.

[MeggieGranger]

He seems like a really selfless and nice person. I wish I could have his spirit.

[rizqiefajar]

He doesn't earn anything from this?! Unbelievable. What a hero.

[kylejohnson]

That’s literally insane to go to any Wikipedia page and have a 33% chance of it being edited by this guy
