Presentation about Wikiquote during the Wiki Indaba 2023 conference in Agadir, Morocco.
Wikiquote is part of a family of wiki-based projects run by the Wikimedia Foundation using MediaWiki software. The project's objective is to produce collaboratively a vast reference of quotations from prominent people, books, films, proverbs, etc. and writings about them. The website aims to be as accurate as possible regarding the provenance and sourcing of the quotations.
Initially, the project operated only in English from July 2003, expanding to include other languages in July 2004.[2] As of April 2024, there are active Wikiquote sites for 73 languages[1] comprising a total of 321,158 articles and 2,047 recently active editors.[3]
