Wikiquote is one of a family of wiki-based projects run by the Wikimedia Foundation, running on MediaWiki software. Based on an idea by Daniel Alston and implemented by Brion Vibber, the goal of the project which began as an outgrowth to Wikipedia Famous Quotations is to produce collaboratively a vast reference of quotations from prominent people, books, films, proverbs, etc., and to be as proper as possible in regard to the details of the quotations and also providing the appropriate human reference of the quotation. Though there are many online collections of quotations, Wikiquote is one of the few that provide an opportunity for visitors to contribute. Wikiquote pages are cross-linked to articles about individuals and topics on Wikipedia and to original texts on Wikisource.
- Wikiquote is a free online compendium of sourced quotations from notable people and creative works in every language, translations of non-English quotes, and links to Wikipedia for further information.
- There are loads of quotations stored at Wikiquote (http://www.wikiquote.org) where you can enter a search phrase like "life" or "humour" and get loads of quotations from different notable personalities. Each personality is linked to their page in Wikipedia.
- If we were contacted by a copyright holder with a complaint about Wikiquote, of course, we would attempt to respond within reason to resolve the complaint without anyone's having to resort to litigation. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act actually provides for services like Wikiquote a way of resolving copyright complaints without serious risk of litigation through its notice-and-takedown procedures. I'm not aware of any DMCA notices regarding Seinfeld quotations on Wikiquote.
- It's somehow appropriate that in the same week that Michael Scott leaves The Office that two computer scientists at the University of Washington announce their particular breakthrough in natural language programing—a computer program that knows when to say "That's what she said" to a double entendre. ...[T]his type of language play is actually a complicated computer science program. ... To "train" the computer how to identify the right sentences, they used twssstories.com, a repository of user-submitted "TWSS" jokes, and non-entendre text from sites such as Wikiquote.
- The Web is a community, and despite the questionable information you can find there, it also offers you the ability to connect with people and start a dialogue. Wikiquote, despite the inherent problems of any Wiki to which anyone can contribute, can be a worthy resource because it enables multiple people to engage in a dialogue. It also often contains links to external sources in text and audio formats where applicable.
- To make sure your quotes are available to the widest possible audience, we're working with the Wikiquote project to collect and archive the quotes for posterity. ... Wikiquote has a section on chemistry-related material and we, working with the Royal Society of Chemistry’s Wikimedian in residence, Andy Mabbett, are going to expand it...The best quotes are striking sentences or poignant paragraphs that hold fast in the mind, long after their source has faded from memory, snippets and soundbites that encapsulate feeling or opinion.
