Wikiquote

Wikiquote is a sister project of BambooWeb, 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 other language Wikiquote have been created:

• Bulgarian language http://bg.wikiquote.org/
• Chinese language http://zh.wikiquote.org/
• German language http://de.wikiquote.org/
• French language http://fr.wikiquote.org/
• Italian language http://it.wikiquote.org/
• Polish language http://pl.wikiquote.org/
• Romanian language http://ro.wikiquote.org/
• Tamil language http://ta.wikiquote.org/
