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 prominent 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/
