Cram for that Q&A!
Who thinks Wikipedia is awesome? Miss Macomb (Jillian Kate Weingart) competing for the title of Miss Illinois does:
Weingart said she’d been brushing up on current events to prepare herself for the question-and-answer session of the pageant.
“I’ve got a huge binder, it’s all stuff I looked up on Wikipedia,” Weingart said. “I’m like, OK, I know what the G8 summit is, but I would never be able to answer an opinion question about it.”
When pressed on the topic, she responded: “Well, honestly, just from what I learned on Wikipedia last night, I don’t think it’s a bad idea to have the world’s leaders talking about environmental and the problems they’re all having.”
Wikipedia’s changing the world, one beauty queen at a time.
