Wikiquote
From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.
Wikiquote is a sister project of Wikipedia, using the same MediaWiki software. It is one of a family of wiki-based projects run by the Wikimedia Foundation. Based on an idea by Daniel Alston and implemented by Brion Vibber, the goal of the project is to produce collaboratively a vast reference of quotations from people, books and proverbs, and to give details about them.
Initially the project was created in English, but in July 2004, more languages were added:
- English language http://en.wikiquote.org/
- Bulgarian language http://bg.wikiquote.org/
- Chinese language http://zh.wikiquote.org/
- Dutch language http://nl.wikiquote.org/
- German language http://de.wikiquote.org/
- French language http://fr.wikiquote.org/
- Italian language http://it.wikiquote.org/
- Japanese language http://ja.wikiquote.org/
- Korean language http://kr.wikiquote.org/
- Romanian language http://ro.wikiquote.org/
- Spanish language http://es.wikiquote.org/
- Tamil language http://ta.wikiquote.org/
- Afrikaans language http://af.wikiquote.org/
