 | This page in a nutshell: It is important to thank each other (regularly) on Wikipedia. |
Wikipedia is more than just an encyclopedia – it is also a community. People from all over the world come together to write, edit and improve articles. One thing people need is appreciation. Appreciation is a basic human need. Therefore, it is important to thank each other (regularly) for the work each does in building the encyclopedia. A thank you never hurts.
